23 & 30 Sept, 7 Oct, 10.30-12.00

Selling and pricing the Win Without Pitching® (WWP) way is a tried and tested approach that has helped hundreds of creative businesses around the world get new clients and close the sale. If you’re new to the approach or want a valuable refresher, this three part series will unlock the practical behaviours, actions and techniques that will overhaul your methods and increase your profit margins.

In three in-depth sessions, Blair Enns, CEO and Founder of WWP will expertly guide you through the key principles in the Win Without Pitching and Pricing Creativity manifestos. Starting with selling, you'll work through the six key principles to keep in mind during the buyer’s journey, understanding the four conversations that take place during the arc of the sale and how to adopt the right mindset and behaviour. The second session will look at the five levels of pricing success, helping you understand where you are now and how you can embrace new techniques to maximise returns. Finally, we’ll explore the concept of value based pricing and learn why some firms transcend pricing limits and enter the highest tier of financial success, no longer having to grow their business to grow their profits. With these game-changing methods under your belt, there’s no limit to what you might achieve. Join us and transform your business the Win Without Pitching® way.

Previous feedback for Win Without Pitching®

It both changed our mindset around our sales process and how we think of ourselves and gave us tactics and ideas we could implement quickly and easily.

Matt Hall, Hill Investment Group

Much of the content resonated and we'll work to implement almost all of it. Asking for concessions and not offering solutions too early are elements we can implement immediately without any practice.
