One Percent Sales™ — Selling to the Credit Union C-Level
The only program specifically focused on selling to the C-Level in credit unions.
When selling to credit union executives and boards of directors – partnership is most important. As leaders, you sell to a higher level; and, to sell at the C-level, you must think and act at the C-level. By aligning your message with credit unions’ missions, strategic plans, and executive goals – you can deliver remarkably high value.
