SABP Field Opportunity Review™

It’s not what you know about the Selling Advantage Beyond the Product™ (SABP) process that will make a difference. It’s what you and your organization do with the process that will impact win ratios and sales revenue.

Implementing our Selling Advantage Beyond the Product™: Field Opportunity Review enables sales professionals to focus on their most strategic opportunities and enhance the sales effort to ensure the lasting adoption of the SABP skills and processes. Sales teams – along with their managers – will learn how to systematically analyze high-yield, high-risk sales opportunities for maximum competitive advantage – defeating the competition and winning the business.

These working sessions are led by our most experienced, senior consultants who deliver the Selling Advantage Beyond the Product™ workshops. Where possible, we will assign the session leader who has been involved in teaching the Selling Advantage Beyond the Product™ process to your sales teams.

The Selling Advantage Beyond the Product™: Field Opportunity Review will reinforce the application of the skills and processes learned in the program and provide an immediate return on investment in terms of improved sales plans.
