Members-Only Benefit | Free to Attend
In sales conversations, one of the most uncomfortable (and most important) topics is budget/investment. Bring it up too early and you risk shutting down the conversation. Wait too long and you may spend weeks chasing an opportunity that was never financially viable. Avoid it entirely and the deal often stalls or disappears. In this roundtable discussion, we’ll explore the art and timing of budget conversations.
Come ready to share your experiences, challenges, and strategies with peers who are navigating the same balancing act.
Facilitated By:
Chris McDonell, Sandler Training
KEY TAKEAWAYS
By the end of this session, participants will be able to:
– How to introduce the budget naturally
– How to avoid the common mistakes that derail deals
– How experienced professionals create transparency around investment without damaging trust
