Welcome to a New Era of Professional Selling!
Elevated Business Advisors has developed advanced sales training programs for organizations & salespeople who strive to take their game to the next level. Our revolutionary new sales model, Technically Selling, combines a structure & flow similar to what’s taught at the academic level, with over 50 new sales strategies & techniques that we designed, largely, from extensive research in the fields of behavioral science & cognitive psychology.
Since launching in 2018, Technically Selling, along with our unique approach to training, has been used to maximize sales performance for companies ranging from Global Fortune 100’s to local startups preparing to launch.
Our goals are your goals – we’re just here to help you EXCEED them!
Sales Training “On-Demand”: Topics, Logistics, Delivery – Tailored to YOU!
LOGISTICS FLEXIBILITY:
We know firsthand how difficult it is getting a sales team together for training – which is why we strategically designed ALL our modules to be adaptable, in order to build a program that will maximize the learning experience as well as the effectiveness of the material for each individual client – regardless of their logistical difficulties (e.g. reps in the field, other offices etc.)
Whether it’s a half day course covering one topic (minimum), 3 full days split-up in 3 weeks, or 5 full days in a row – you tell us what will work best for your team and our agenda will ALWAYS be built around YOUR agenda.
TOPIC FLEXIBILITY:
Sales leaders know their team and understand the needs of their respective organizations better than anyone, which is why we allow our clients to choose the training topics.
Since all content & materials are tailored to YOUR industry & sales cycle and each training module can be shortened or lengthened based on timing & budget parameters – allowing us to design and deliver a truly customizable training experience for each individual client we partner with.
Note: Due to the importance Behavioral Science has to our selling process, we require, at least a condensed version, of the topics within our “Setting the Table” performance module.
Performance Modules: Advanced Sales Training Topics
Customized Sales Training Programs: Delivery Options
CONSULTING PARTNERSHIP:
Whether it’s building out a new training program, adapting/improving a current one, or simply providing the materials and resources for sales managers to train their respective teams (most common) – our processes will ALWAYS be customized, based on the needs & wants of each organization we work with.
SALES SCHOOL:
Our highly interactive, classroom-format, program dives deep into each layer of the selling process and is designed to teach, even the most senior & successful salespeople, new strategies and techniques for improving sales performance. There’s no ‘one size fits all’ training – EVERYTHING is tailored to your parameters.
TEAM BUILDING WORKSHOPS:
Building camaraderie is an essential part of turning a sales team into a sales FORCE! We facilitate a customized training course with topics of your choosing, along with handling all the logistics behind the various activities offered (e.g. wine tasting, cooking class, beer brewing, wilderness survival, photography 101).
AA’s Training Notes: Additional Comments/Areas of Reference
TEAM EFFORT:
Letting EBA evaluate your current sales processes prior to an agreement, allows us to work as a team to DIAGNOSE needs and formulate a strategic plan around what topics will provide the most value to your team.
COLLABORATIVE LEARNING:
Throughout our training, we place a conscious focus on delivering a highly interactive program. Brainstorming, role-plays, and games are all utilized to facilitate a productive & effective learning experience.
TANGIBLE TAKEAWAYS:
There’s zero “fluff” in any of our programs – we get right down to business and provide our clients with tools, strategies, and knowledge they can start using immediately.
Our “cheat sheet library” contains leave-behind overviews which provide reps with all the key takeaways from training. This lets salespeople better focus on the material & interaction during the session itself (opposed to scribbling down notes) while proving additional guidance by giving them reference material to use as needed in the future (e.g. preparing a pitch, question strategy, anticipating objections etc.) You can often find these documents hung-up in the cubes/offices of our client partners.
NEW HIRE ADJUSTMENTS:
The strategies we teach will be quite a bit more advanced than other sales models/training, as they were specifically designed to provide the most value to more experienced/high performing reps – HOWEVER, we love training those new in their sales career, so we also created versions that are more appropriate for organizations & individuals who need a program focused on “sales 101” material and entry-level sales strategy.
Note: one of EBA’s most common consulting services is providing our clients with expert guidance, along with the necessary resources needed, for building out and/or improving their current sales onboarding/training processes.
Ask us how we’re partnering with sales leadership to help develop their own training programs (not EBA’s) which are always built for the long term and strategically designed for attracting top talent while setting new reps up for future success. Take steps to better prepare your new hires PRIOR to territory roll-out and watch them transform into immediate difference-makers right out of the gate!
*ATTENTION – GROUP INSURANCE INDUSTRY (Brokers/Carriers/Tech Vendors):
We know firsthand how selling insurance can be particularly challenging. Considering our proven track record of success in the industry, ALL training programs will include new targeted strategies throughout, along with additional training topics to choose from – each specifically designed for improving sales performance in the highly-complex and uber-competitive world of insurance.
Training topics currently established (group insurance specific):
- Driving Revenue through Current Block of Business
- Maximizing Voluntary Enrollments (technology, engagement, participation etc.)
- Renewal & Pricing Strategy
- Selling & Defending Contracts
- Sales 101 (for Account Manager’s/Non-Producers)
- Time Management Best Practices (Organization, Prioritization, Delegation, Follow-Up, Post-Sale)
*Additional topics available upon request and customization down to the company/office-level are both welcomed and encouraged!
PERFORMANCE-FOCUSED PARTNERSHIP
(1×1 or Group)
Whether you’re new to sales or a seasoned vet, our customized plan will be designed to help maximize performance in ALL phases of the job – in the office and on the front lines.
We want to be looked at as an extension of YOUR team and will provide resources, tools, and guidance, to ensure all sales goals are being exceeded while helping develop an approach that will set you up for future success.
SALES STRATEGY/EFFICIENCY/ACCOUNTABILITY:
While our plans are adapted for each individual client, and all sessions are tailored to their specific needs & wants, these three areas serve as our coaching foundation.
*Note: contributed, in part, by the rapid rise of technology, we have found that the areas most NEGATIVELY impacting sales performance stem from process efficiency & time management. Relationship-focused reps who previously spent most of their time OUT of the office, are now being forced IN, and the new/extra workloads stemming from organizational shifts (often a result of technology) are driving up the ‘burn-out’ rate at a record pace.
Helping individuals & organizations develop a more efficient sales process is a primary specialty of Elevated Business Advisors and the specific area that numerous coaching clients have told us had the most direct positive impact for their personal sales growth.
IMPROVED SALES PROCESS = IMPROVED CLOSE RATIO:
Regardless if it’s training, consulting, or coaching, the #1 metric we focus on at EBA is close ratio. We (strongly) believe that the higher the level of QUALITY brought to the selling PROCESS – the higher close-ratio you’ll produce.
You can expect us to develop specific goals around close ratio, along with customized strategies aimed at improving it.
ELEVATED PERFORMANCE GUARANTEE:
Here at Elevated Business Advisors, we like to bet on ourselves; thus, we provide the following GUARANTEE to ALL our coaching clients…
“By the end of our partnership, if you don’t feel our services provided enough tools, strategies, and knowledge that directly resulted in earning more money than what you paid, Elevated Business Advisors will issue a FULL REFUND.“

Note: In order to provide our clients with the best experience possible, we put a cap on the number of participants we coach at a given time. Availability and cost are discussed directly, so give us a call or send an email any time – we’d love to hear from you!
