The QCSS Sales Mastery Solution
QCSS Sales Mastery
Sales training designed around your client
The best salespeople seek to help clients with pressing challenges and big opportunities. That means putting your client's needs ahead of yours. It means earning trust through authentic service to your client.
Our Sales Training is based on four principles to develop client trust
Clients do not want to be sold to, period
But clients will buy solutions they believe will help them accomplish their goals and make them look good. You'll learn through Discovery to tap into their essential decision drivers .
The Buyer Decision Model™
Because a client will only buy and not be sold to, your job is to understand and guide your client through their decision making process to a best fit decision that meets their needs.
Client Trust and Relationship
In sales you must earn a trusted relationship with your client. No trust? No deal! This means listening and asking great questions to build credibility and trust.
Finding and Understanding Your Client
Sales Mastery goes deep into the nuances of your client's personality, what they need, and their communication style. All of this helps you find and connect with clients.
What makes Sales Mastery work?
It's the structure of Sales Mastery around People, Process and Tools that makes Sales Mastery relatable and successful.
Sales training is a lot like working out. Why do you work out? To get healthier, stronger, faster. To run that marathon or win the city tennis tournament. So why sales training? Same thing. To get stronger, to get better, to improve your business, to be the best!
QCSS Sales Mastery works because it is structured around three drivers of sales success. First is PEOPLE: both your peers who encourage each other and your sales coaches. Second is PROCESS: it follows a proven process to form success habits. Third are the TOOLS: sales tools for real-life application of the Sales Mastery process.

PEOPLE
The best adult learning is done in groups. It's active and engaging. Variety stimulates one's thinking. Working with peers and a coach within a sales framework, you'll find the things that work best for you.

Peer Cohort
Working out alone is no fun and rarely succeeds. In Sales Mastery, we emphasize the Peer Cohort. You'll train with peers, learn with and from each other, and develop life-long relationships out of mutual success.

Sales Coaching
Everybody needs a coach. Want to achieve your sales goals? Want to be the sales G.O.A.T.? Then get a sales coach. Someone to call when you want to pull your hair out, figure out a tricky deal, or celebrate a win!

PROCESS
The Sales Mastery process is based on the Buyer Decision Process™, a centerpiece of DePaul University's Center for Sales Leadership and used by leading B2B sales organizations.

Three Sales Training Stages
Sales Mastery lays down a Foundation For Success of core sales tools. In Serving Your Client you'll learn and practice the keys to earning trust. Attaining Mastery covers challenges that lead to sales excellence.

Sales Level-up
This is personal. Leveling-up is a commitment to learn, practice, apply, and repeat the skills you need to win! Leveling-up starts with a high-performance mental state. Positive. Disciplined. Committed. Every day.

TOOLS
Tools help any professional put knowledge and process into practical application. In the Sales Mastery program, we incorporate tools throughout to help accelerate your application of new sales skills.

Sales Tools
Tools! From well worn to AI, the right tool for the job makes the difference. And sales involves many jobs. So you need tools for getting noticed, prospecting, handling discovery, proposing, negotiating, and more!

Sales Training Playbook
What does a playbook do? It shows you what you should do in a given situation. The best salespeople know what to do and when to do it. They study the Sales Mastery Playbook, a rich resource they use all the time.
