Companies That Trust SALES FUNNEL®

At TCG, we have chosen to specialize within the space of human development by offering a unique methodology around both people and sales processes. Our motto of “less corporate and more human” simply means, we believe you can have more meaningful relationships when you focus on people. So it doesn’t just limit you to clients, rather holistically with internal teams and everyone you connect with daily professionally.

Our objective is to be recognized as communication experts for our discerning clients and share best practices that assist organizations to reach their financial goals through sales and service development.

SALES FUNNEL®

Take the mystery out of selling

The Sales Funnel® philosophy is quite simple. How early can you uncover what it will take to win the business? And from there, how accurately can you predict your outcomes? When done the right way, selling is incredibly predictable. How people think and react is predictable. Win/Loss probability is predictable. These things are what sales professionals and sales leaders crave.

But you don’t get there without a clear strategy to uncover the criteria that will give you this predictability in the sales process. It requires a different way of thinking. It requires a higher level of sophistication, and that is the Sales Funnel®.

The Sales Funnel® is predicated on the idea that the sale is won or lost in the first stages of the sales process. Not closing techniques, not objection handling, but the actual process that gets clients to their decision is in fact the key to winning business.

Through a series of steps strategically tested in the marketplace and by our founders, clients, and 1000’s of other sales professionals for over 40 years, the Sales Funnel® lays out exactly how to go from hello to contract with little effort, but with high intelligence.

Winning Moments

What we do

Talent Assessments

Before you jump into training, don’t you want to know if your team is trainable? How about being confident that the team you have is CAPABLE of doing what you’re asking them to do. Whether assessing the team you have, or hiring new team members, knowing who is on your team and IF they can do the job is critical to the success of any training initiative.

Sales Training

The challenge with “training” is, few believe they need it and even fewer look forward to it. Most programs are either outdated or manipulative. They focus on “solutions” and end up commoditizing products and services. We have a proven methodology that will accelerate the closing process by 50% in most cases.

Customer Loyalty

Customer retention is about the “experience” not just the product. We work with select organizations to uncover opportunities to assist them in building a world-class customer experience. From training to running call centers, we are known for saying “yes” to requests you may not have asked yet. It’s just who we are.

Seminars

Ever been to an event where all you remember was the bad steak at the hotel versus the talk? Us too! That’s why all of our events are highly interactive seminars that entertain and create personal connections for each participant. We have two dynamic speakers that will have you wanting for more.

Workshops

Our facilitators make learning fun. No more full-day programs where you’re sneaking to use the phone. We believe if you connect personal and professional, participants are excited to be present. Every workshop has high engagement and flexibility to actively share personal stories to anchor best practices.

Online Learning

For over 20 years we’ve been creating online learning for organizations BEFORE it was popular. We understand people have short attention spans, so we’ve mastered micro-learning combined with our proprietary learning methodology to transfer skills in a way where learners retain up to 75% more information than traditional methods.
