TOP REVIEWS FROM CUSTOMER SEGMENTATION AND PROSPECTING
Clear, straight to the point content from someone who is obviously really good and passionate about sales. This was my first course, and it set a high standard.
The content is way better than I expected. Craig presents material in bite size chunks - the videos are crisp and to the point. I wish a had a professor like Craig in grad school.
Good practical course. Clear structure and build-up. Personnaly I miss some depth in the explanations why things work or not. But that is also personal. In general great course.
I found this to be very helpful. The examples of the small things that makes a big difference were invaluable. I have already made changes to my sales style based on the learning done here.
