About Swagger Sales™
What Is Swagger?
Swagger is not arrogance. Swagger is confidence.
The confidence that comes from understanding the true value propositions of your products and services to your clients, and of how each part of their organization (end-users, procurement and the C-Suite) measure this.
From building client engagement strategies that play to your strengths, rather than your competitors.
And the confidence that comes from giving your team the “street skills” needed to confidently and quickly prepare for and execute every meeting to advance the ball towards a profitable sale.

What Our Clients Are Saying about Swagger Sales
Literally every leader’s feedback at the end was, “I realize that we have an opportunity to do more planning.” So critical for sales leaders, but just not done nearly enough.

The SWIFT App is a game-changer! As a sales leader, it gives me a much more efficient way to provide real time feedback and coaching to my team, and the heatmap gives me a brilliantly simple view into where my coaching time will deliver the best return on my effort.

The SWIFT™ tools drive a common language along with much more robust pre-call planning, allowing our AE’s to get more out of significant client interactions every call. The tools focus our sales managers on continual team development – allowing us to build sustainable muscle.

I found this to be one of the most actionable trainings I have had in my career! It has made me think differently about approaches that have been in my routine, and how I need to disrupt these behaviors to drive alternative outcomes.
