It goes beyond the selling profession to examine the person underneath the techniques, the character of salespeople themselves. It looks at your development as a person and shows how personal growth will lead not only to greater sales, but to greater significance and fulfillment. Power Selling helps you see the "big picture," and I can attest that nothing is more powerful in your life than having a compelling sense of purpose. - Les Brown, Emmy Award Winning Speaker, Bestselling Author and Mamie Brown's baby boy March 28, 2004.

Chicago Sales Strategy Expert Consulting
Since 2001, George Ludwig has helped organizations like yours dramatically improve their productivity and performance. His clients range from corporate giants like Johnson & Johnson and Northwestern Mutual to mid-size companies like Cutera, STAAR Surgical, and Biolase Technology right down to small entrepreneurial firms like TimeMed Labeling Systems and Team REIL. What makes Ludwig’s clients rave about his services? They say it’s his holistic, customized approach. When someone calls asking for “sales training,” he doesn’t try to superimpose a set of generic techniques. Instead, he examines the company organically, searching for “best practices” by diagnosing factors like:

1. Corporate Culture
2. Sales Strategy
3. Sales Structure
4. Sales Process Methodology
5. Sales Training
6. Hiring Practices
7. Sales Compensation
8. Sales Management
9. Sales Pipeline
10. Metrics & Accountability

Once Ludwig has audited all these components, he has a clear picture of:
a) which “best practices” are already in place and
b) which areas your company needs to strengthen

This provides a "big picture" context that ensures the strategies and techniques learned during his sales training take root and grow in all of your salespeople. After all, even the best training in the world won't work well if you're hiring the wrong people or if your compensation structure is inherently de-motivating. Learn More

Chicago Sales Strategy Expert Training

Sales Training That Delivers Real ROI

Ludwig's sales training programs are designed to provide you with a measurable improvement in productivity and a strong return on investment. Specifically, he helps you maximize ROI through customized training that combines your "best practices" with the sales mastery principles he's developed over the course of his 30-year career. Unlike many other sales trainers, Ludwig takes the time to drill down to the specific psychology, strategies, and skills necessary for success throughout the sales process. In fact, he often helps organizations develop their own unique sales process on which the training is then based. His customized training programs cover a thorough combination of different learning modules, including the following three components that represent the "low-hanging fruit" most sales organizations need to improve upon:

Task /Time/ Territory Management: To ensure your organization's success, your salespeople must be spending their precious time on their best opportunities. Ludwig's "red, yellow, or green" time maximization strategy incorporates marketplace conditions, corporate sales strategy, and buyer purchasing patterns to help your salespeople effectively prioritize their tasks, time, and territory.

Business Development/Prospecting: Prospecting drives the entire sales process, and a lack of sales can usually be traced back to an insufficient number of opportunities being pursued. Ludwig teaches your salespeople how to add a greater number of high-quality prospects to the "funnel" of opportunities they currently pursue.

Targeted Conversation Positioning: “Targeted Conversations” consider the following three factors:

  1. buyer type,
  2. buyer pain/gain, and
  3. specific product benefits and applications that address their pain and/or gain

Ludwig provides your salespeople with a matrix of conversations, including diagnostic questions, that they can use to discuss their products/services so that the buyer can visualize using their product/service to achieve a goal, solve a problem, or satisfy a need.

Sales Management Training: Helping Them Cross the Great Divide

Just because someone is a great salesperson doesn't mean he's a great sales manager. Very few people can stroll across the "great divide" separating one role from the next with no training and reach any degree of effectiveness. Even those who do manage to adapt could do a lot better if they learned the basics of sales leadership.
Ludwig can help. Through in-depth research, he will uncover the specific "best practices" necessary for performing as an outstanding sales manager inside your unique company. These practices will include specific expertise in hiring, personnel skills assessment, sales coaching, sales process & pipeline management, and the fundamentals for great sales leadership. With your best practices as the foundation, Ludwig develops a program designed to arm your sales managers with the mindset, strategies, skills, and tools necessary to:

  • Become a great sales leader that salespeople will perform at high levels for and fully commit to following
  • Make the great leap from sales manager to highly effective sales coach
  • Assess their sales personnel as it relates to sales performance, talent, psychology, and key skills mastery
  • Proactively manage the sales process and maximize their sales pipeline
  • Interview and hire candidates who possess the specific psychology, talents, and skills necessary to become future sales superstar
