Traditional prospecting tools and techniques have received a bad reputation – especially in recent years. As consumers become more empowered with information at their fingertips, organizations need sales prospecting solutions that embrace this change, rather than surrender against it. Funnel Clarity’s approach to sales prospecting training is about refining “old school” techniques and applying them in a new way that matches the modern buyer. We invite you to explore a prospecting training that doesn’t tout an elusive silver bullet, but research-based tactics.

Sales prospecting is both a science and a discipline. So why are sales teams looking for growth tactics in unproven places? We believe that following a structured set of steps and tactics based on proven results is what yields growth for sales professionals.

Cold calling, cold emails and social selling are not antiquated methods by definition. But if executed poorly – they’re wildly ineffective. We analyzed more than 100,000 sales prospecting calls at 100 companies across 19 industries to determine which sales prospecting tactics work and which don’t. We know the most common pitfalls, and have built prospecting training materials that help organizations overcome them.

What Our Clients Say

Fortune100 Software Company

Anthony D.

Funnel Clarity's prospecting training had an immediate and positive impact on our business development organization. We were given an understanding of the 'balance between art and science' of prospecting through an engaging two-day training workshop. We learned "lab" tested best practices and how to best use them in applicable situations. Having gone through the training twice now, I can confidently say that I am better for it. I would recommend the training course at least once per year!

The Funnel Clarity Roadmap to Revenue^©

The modern sales professional needs more than just a questioning model. To maximize success a seller needs to understand how to “counsel” buyers to make great decisions. This course focuses on the tactics and strategy of providing this kind of buying guidance to every decision maker.

Effective account management requires more than just reacting to customer inquiry. This course teaches the techniques required for proactive account management.

One area where sales organizations lack an effective tool is recognizing how qualification is an ongoing part of a sales process, not a step in that process. This course teaches the skills that ensure each sales call is most effective and the sales funnel contains only real opportunities.
