Workshop – Dealmaking 2.0

Date: 27 February 2025

What You Will Do

Exercise 1: Preparation

Before you can close a deal, you need to set the right foundation. In this exercise, you’ll answer two critical questions:

  • Who is your target audience? Learn how to define and refine your ideal client or partner.
  • What do you want to achieve? Set clear, actionable objectives to maximize deal success.

Outcome: A personalized deal preparation framework to guide your future negotiations.

Exercise 2: There You Are

Now, it’s time to apply your preparation in a live setting. This exercise walks you through a structured 7-step sales conversation:

  • Building rapport and setting the stage.
  • Identifying needs and positioning your offer effectively.
  • Overcoming objections and closing the deal with confidence.

Outcome: A proven 7-step conversation framework to use in your next sales meeting.

7-Step Sales Conversation Canvas

During the workshop, you’ll use our 7-Step Sales Conversation Canvas—a practical tool to map your sales conversations, handle objections, and confidently close deals.

Why it’s valuable? It gives you a clear structure to navigate any sales discussion without losing control.

What’s inside? A step-by-step framework to help you define your approach, ask the right questions, and steer conversations toward a successful close. Explore it during the workshop and use it for future deals.
