Close More Deals: A Sales Masterclass - Making the Ask & Winning the Deal
Why founders freeze at the ask. Objection handling framework: hear, acknowledge, clarify, respond, confirm. The three closing techniques that work for relational founder-led selling. Follow-up is a sales skill. Full playbook assembly and peer review.
Sales isn't just a function of your business; it's the skill that determines whether your startup or business survives and grows. This series reflects Ascender’s core belief: sustainable businesses are built through revenue, traction, and customers; not always venture capital.
Close More Deals gives attendees the frameworks, tools, and practiced confidence to find the right customers, make the ask, and close deals consistently. This 7-session series builds on the last, culminating in a complete personal sales playbook.
Ascender’s sales masterclass was built for those who have to sell as part of their role; either as a founder, small business owner or someone new to sales.
