Certifications and Licenses
Driver's License
Gap Selling
November 2022 to Present
Became certified in the Gap Selling method. This method is heavily focused on information gathering through listening, tonality, and asking great questions to help the prospect/buyer see the Gap (Where they are, and where they want to go.) After identifying the gap, then we sales people provide our solution and apply it not to their current state but show them how it gets them where they want to go. Assessments
