Do you want to dramatically increase your sales revenue and have faster company growth? Do you want your business to run smoother, lessen your stress, and be a happier owner or executive? If you are an entrepreneur who wants to scale your business sales by millions, this show is for you! Welcome to the CEO Sales Strategies Podcast, where America's number one sales revenue expansion expert, Doug C. Brown interviews CEOs with $5M plus companies to uncover and share actionable tips and strategies behind their bulletproof sales strategies. Is your current sales growth frustrating you? Are your sales numbers so imprecise that you cannot make accurate sales forecasts? Do you think your sales teams or salespeople could do better in finding prospective clients and/or selling more with higher profitably? Want to enhance your hiring process to consistently produce top sales performers for your teams? Do you wish you could sell more to clients with larger revenues? If you have experienced any of these problems, you are not alone. Many companies find themselves stuck in a futile struggle to gain more revenue and profit, get frustrated with their salespeople and sales teams, and find themselves mired in stress, burnout and even hopelessness. You may already own or run a multi-million-dollar business, but it takes quite another leap to turn your company into a major industry player worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars. Could there be something you can do about your pitching strategies? How is your sales process looking? Are you hiring the right people in your sales teams? How is your internal talent development? What does your company culture look like? Are your salespeople accountable enough for their numbers and performance? Most importantly, are you in the right mindset to be able to scale your business exponentially? There are but some of the numerous factors in your business that may be holding you back from growing your company beyond its current worth. How badly do you want to finally see a change in your quarters? Will you do whatever it takes to get out of that bind and take your business on a trajectory to become something bigger? Are you sick of waiting at the back of the line to be on par with the A-players in your industry? Are you willing to challenge your beliefs, change your mindset, and take steps to optimize your processes? If you are, then you have come to the right place. There is no better way to learn how to increase your sales than to take it from the people who have gone through the process themselves and succeeded. In this podcast, Doug sits down with owners and CEOs of top-performing companies, who share their failures, struggles, secrets, and processes that are all part of their phenomenal rise beyond the $5 million marks.
