Dr. Bruce Lund believes that everybody needs a coach - because the most successful people are the best-trained people. Bruce is the Founder and Director of 90-Day Sales Manager - a 12-week master course on how to explain and sell your unique value, perfect your prospecting and follow-up, onboard and retain clients, create a world-class brand, and own your confidence.

This episode is the first in a series with Dr. Bruce. We talk about the coaching available through 90-Day Sales Manager, identifying, developing, and perfecting your “Opportunity Statement,” who can benefit the most from this program, and some of the best practices Bruce teaches in his sales coaching. This program is for salespeople to learn how to set themselves apart in any “commoditized” industry - where competition has simply come down to price.
