LIVE SESSION

From Request to Revenue: How to Build the Business Case for Sales Training

December 10, 2026

1:00pm – 2:00pm ET

When a customer says, “The other dealer is cheaper,” how does your sales team respond?

Join Brooks Group’s Dan Markin and SMS Equipment’s David Liptrot to learn how to develop winning dealership sales teams who can sell value, not price.

For heavy equipment dealers, price competition is a constant challenge. If your customers view products and services as commodities, deals come down to who can offer the lowest price.

But competing on cost alone puts profitability at risk and makes it harder to build lasting customer relationships.

When technical sellers have the skills to move beyond machine specifications and price comparisons, they can demonstrate business value that sets your solutions apart.

Equip your reps to move beyond equipment comparisons to uncover customer needs, differentiate, and communicate the business value of choosing your dealership.

Designed for dealer principals, sales leaders, and managers responsible for equipment sales, this session will provide actionable strategies to help your sellers shift the conversation from cost to value and win more profitable business. 

    What You’ll Learn:

    Help sellers differentiate your solutions by connecting equipment capabilities to customer’s productivity goals and operating costs

    Equip your team to overcome price objections and protect margins without relying on discounts

    Make parts availability, service support, and dealership expertise a meaningful part of the buying decision

    Develop consultative selling skills that build credibility with owners, fleet managers, and other decision makers, strengthen customer relationships, and create long-term value
