Sales Training for Teams Curriculum

4-Week Program Overview

This training is delivered over four weeks. Each week focuses on a specific part of the sales system and how it is trained, executed, and measured inside the business.

The goal is to create a simplified, prescriptive sales process that teams can be trained on and run consistently.


Week 1: Systems

Focus: Building a simplified, prescriptive sales system that can be trained.

In Week 1, we focus on systems, specifically, creating a simplified sales process that is clear, targeted, and prescriptive enough to be used for training.

This includes:

  • A simplified sales process designed to be trained and reinforced
  • Initial contact processes that mirror the full sales flow
  • Alignment on a single sales flow used across the team

Teams are introduced to Chris’s sales flow framework, BURNS, which represents each stage of the sales conversation:
Buddy

Connection and rapport

Understand

Understanding the client

Results
Clarifying desired outcomes
Needs

Identifying gaps and priorities

Sale / Set-Up

Enrolling or setting the next step

Each element of BURNS represents a defined part of the overall sales flow.


Week 2: Training

Focus: How sales training actually happens inside the business.

Week 2 focuses on training, specifically, how sales training is delivered and reinforced across different formats and environments.

This includes training in:

  • Virtual environments
  • 1:1 live settings
  • Team-based trainings

Teams also work with practical training tools and concepts Chris uses, including:

  • Sales tests
  • BRP (Block Role Play)
  • “Quick hitters” used for ongoing reinforcement

The emphasis is on creating training structures teams can run consistently, rather than relying on informal or ad-hoc coaching.


Week 3: Sales Flow (Part 1 & Part 2)

Focus: Executing the sales flow from first contact through selling.

Week 3 is split into two connected parts.

Sales Flow – Part 1: Front End

  • Initial contact
  • Follow-up
  • Processes focused on getting people in the door
  • What teams need to do early in the process to be successful

Sales Flow – Part 2: Intake, Dig, and Selling

  • Intake conversations
  • Digging and framing questions
  • The importance of secondary question posturing
  • Selling and overcoming objections

A key takeaway from this week is that the end of the sales process is directly correlated to the start of the process.


Week 4: Measurables

Focus: Using simple measurables to drive performance and coaching decisions.

Week 4 focuses on measurables, specifically, simple KPIs that drive real impact.

This includes:

  • Leading and lagging indicators
  • Simple success indicators
  • Clear training levers tied to performance

These measurables are used to:

  • Coach up when improvement is possible
  • Coach out when standards are not being met

The goal is to give teams a clear, objective way to assess performance and take action.
