Information Access Drives Modern Sales feat. Tom Trush
Beyond 7 Figures: Build, Scale, Profit
Learn how to fix your sales team's low closing rate with the seven-hour content system modern buyers demand Your struggling sales team isn't the problem - they're being handed leads that aren't even close to ready to buy, then blamed when those leads don't convert.

KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- Over-relying on AI to generate content without adding your unique perspective makes you blend into the noise rather than stand out.
- Most entrepreneurs are too close to their own work to clearly articulate what they should be known for in the marketplace.
- A clear "why" statement and "why me" positioning are essential components of an unignorable brand.
- Your brand presence must be congruent with who you want to attract and the transformation you deliver.
- Authenticity often outperforms forced professionalism when it comes to building trust with potential clients.
- The Gateway Sales Solution reduces buyer risk by offering the first real win at 10-20% of your full contract value with a money-back guarantee.
- Relationships plus results equal retention — results alone create transactions, not loyal clients.
- Get known for something specific and amplify it rather than trying to be everything to everyone.
