Wieslaw Mroz
CEO & Co-owner
I took part in the program from the ICAN Selling™ lineup out of a need for inspiration, which in a rapidly changing market plays a very important role in sales management success. The times when once chosen strategy lasted for years are long gone! The program allowed me to develop a new strategy for my agency division, in the implementation of which an improved value proposition and three indicators have become key: the right sales force activities, the right target customer and the degree of market saturation in each segment. I recommend the latest program in the ICAN Selling™ line to all sales executives!

See what you can learn and what competencies you will acquire
Winning sales strategy: how to create, implement and update it?
You will learn what elements an effective sales strategy consists of and how it should be verified. You will learn about the process of customer selection: (general segmentation versus sales segmentation). You will learn how to identify opportunities and possibilities in different geographic markets. And also, how to build a multi-channel sales structure. And finally - how to solve the dilemma of operationalization, i.e. translating strategy into concrete goals and activities of salespeople.
Key processes for implementing the sales strategy
You will learn about the scaled sales model and how to implement it. You will learn how to build a system capable of consistently generating new revenue. You will develop your knowledge of the types of sales leads: how to generate and manage them. You will also learn about the possibilities of social selling from a marketing and sales perspective.
Customer relationship management: segmentation, sales methods, retention, value development over time
In this session, we will learn about the economics of the customer relationship: how to make it a profitable relationship? We will also learn ways to adjust sales methods in the customer life cycle and hit the customer at the right time. We will also define the term "key customer" - who is it and what opportunities does it offer? We will learn how to deal with competitors. We will learn ways to strengthen relationships and build barriers to entry for rivals.
Sales teams and structures: building, managing, leading (implementation by Marek Gliwny and Tristan Tresar)
You will learn how to profile candidates for the sales team, a core competency in recruiting today. You will discover the hidden weaknesses of candidates, undermining their chances of success in sales. You will learn effective and modern ways to develop salespeople. You will learn how to combine different methods and how to build an organizational culture focused on results, but also on values.
Coaching, development and motivation of sales teams
In this session, we will learn methods for diagnosing problems related to salespeople's activities at different stages of the sales cycle. We will also show the impact of generational differences on salespeople's motivation and sales effectiveness, as well as ways to stimulate underperformers. We will also emphasize the importance of daily inspiration and a positive attitude.
Margin management in sales: between offer, price and discount policy
You will learn how to update prices according to customer sensitivities, as well as how to defend them, even when our products are similar to those of our competitors. You will learn methods for checking the profitability of deals made by salespeople, as well as how to deal with the "discount jungle" phenomenon? We also present various methods of effective margin defense.
Neurocommunication, persuasion and negotiation in sales
How does the brain work in the context of different types of sales communication? What is a strategic approach to negotiation? This is what you will learn in this session. You will also learn ways to effectively combine the negotiation process and the sales process. Our experts will share practical tips. You will also learn how to avoid the "relationship trap" as well. How not to fall into it when the desire to build lasting relationships kills sales and margin?
Innovation in sales: dimensions of offerings, methods, processes and organization
What is meant by "innovation in sales"? Which ones are currently the most important? This is what we will find out in the last session. What is a value proposition? How to design it? We will also learn about the principles of design thinking. You will also learn how to be a sales leader - to become an innovator in the company at the same time. You will learn how to sell new offerings and break down the barriers of salespeople and customers when it comes to new products.
