Can you relate?
Do your buyers schedule meetings but cancel at the last minute, show up late, or, worse, ghost you entirely?
Do your buyers lack commitment, hide their true concerns, and make it hard to understand what they value?
Do your buyers always seem to focus on price, seek multiple quotes, and expect free advice without intending to buy?
Do your buyers set unrealistic expectations, make unreasonable demands, and undervalue your commitment to them?
Do your buyers dismiss your expertise, side-step your questions, or string you along after they decide not to buy?
Are you tired of sales training that sounds the same, feels insincere, promotes manipulative tactics, and contradicts your core values?

After hiring a coach and learning to align the core values of sales and servant leadership, James would commit the rest of his career to sharing those lessons with as many sales and customer-facing professionals as possible. Today, his lessons are shared through the WINS Model™ and the unique experiences of more than 27,000 graduates from over 7500 organizations worldwide.

“If you're fundamentally a "builder" personality like me, it's likely that you both struggle with the not-easily-boxed marketing and sales process, and also don't invest the learning time it deserves as the above-all-else nucleus of your business. James is someone who has done a lot of selling, who understands the practice deeply, and most importantly, can teach it in a way that anyone can comprehend and incorporate. Highly recommend.”
“Around our office, the phrase "use the Rores' method" is shorthand for "Your job isn't to pitch! It's to ask better questions, get to the pain, and figure out whether you can provide value or not." James has helped all of us to think more clearly about what it means to truly partner with the companies and executives we serve and how to start those partnerships from the very first conversation.”
“I have personally, and radically, changed my approach to engaging prospects to focus on WINS. This week, I sent over 1,100 custom correspondences to Healthcare prospects describing a $1/2 Billion medicare problem. This is part 1 of a 12 week campaign building awareness and describing our impact. We're already engaged with 3 C-Suite contacts about ways to help them avoid this costly penalty. If 80% of forecast discussions focus on what they sell instead of problems they solve, [James’] WINS and ECHO approach are sure to improve their performance.”
“James met with our entire sales team and presented several excellent tools to help us overcome and change our current process. Since that time, we have expanded the use of James’ coaching to include monthly training modules and coaching calls for both the outside sales team, inside sales team and the sales management team. During our partnership with James, Boon Edam has enjoyed 3 consecutive years of record sales and profit growth. I would strongly recommend the use of his coaching and training program!”
“James' expertise in the WINS Model has been nothing short of transformative, leading to significant improvements in a remarkably short time. What stands out most, however, is James' commitment to a servant leadership style. His dedication to identifying and implementing the best solutions for potential clients is not just admirable, but also highly effective, as evidenced by the noticeable enhancement in my client interactions.”
“James' WINS model is a win-win approach to sales that you don't often hear about. The WINS model aligns directly with my style of getting to know and connect with people to support their needs, but with an actionable and repeatable template that I was missing. Now I have the tools to dig deeper with questions and to gain clarity on how/if my business can best serve others. I'll be implementing my learnings with our go to market and upcoming launch.”
