Your learning

x8 high-impact learning areas to drive sustainable commercial growth

Decision Design's Mini MBA in the Science of Sales provides a systematic, scientifically built and commercially proven framework that can be implemented by individuals to large sales teams, no matter the brand, product or context.​

We'll uncover exactly how to master this revolutionary scientific formula that drives success in sales and relationship management at every pivotal micro-moment for your ultimate net win.

1. The follies of current sales strategies – and how they’re holding you back

Uncover how the current system holding the global sales world together is fundamentally ineffective at driving real commercial impact and why it is in your best interest to immediately start avoiding them.
2. Every commercial objective is a behaviour change objective ​

Whether you realise it or not – you are a behaviour-change agent. The success of all customer and client interactions hinges on your ability to influence and change behaviour.
3. How to start thinking about the human brain as a product feature set

​The inner working fundamentals driving human behaviour, driving the choices of your customers – and why they significantly impact your ability to achieve greater commercial impact.​
4. Building your influence and authority ​

Delve into the science behind trust and how it directly impacts your authority and your ability to positively influence client and customer behaviour.

5. Curating a sales system for your entire product lifestyle

Shift your mindset from planning a single interaction to instead leveraging a sales system for your entire product lifestyle – the basis of your lifelong relationship with your customers and clients.
6. Aligning your brand positioning to how the human brain makes decisions

Explore the use of behaviour change tools such as set-the-criteria and start recognising that if you want your customers to make a different decision, you must show them how.

7. How to have a behaviour change driven interaction from open to close

A step-by-step uncovering of what a genuine, behaviour change driven sales interaction needs to look like to maximise your impact and therefore your commercial effectiveness.

8. Relationship Management

How to nurture your customer and client relationships for maximum impact in which you have the most influence over their behaviour, understanding the micro-moments in which you can continue to win.
