Though usually known as the CEO and Founder of Lead Ninja System and Lead Ninja AI, Gene Slade will become something of a “sales sensei” at a live sales training event on April 5 and 6. Offering 2 full days of sales training, inspiration, and networking opportunities alongside another sales industry leader, Gary Coxe, Slade’s Lead Ninja “Blackbelt” Sales Class promises to be the event of the year for anyone interested in leveling up their sales.
Slade’s Lead Ninja live sales training events have been greatly beneficial to sales professionals across the country already. These events have already won outstanding testimonials and proven results from 3,000+ students in over 40 states.
A Wide Array of Ticket Options for Sales Professionals at Every Level
This April’s program will feature several tiers of access, with General Access (which provides access to all sales event sessions) starting at $1,997. Additionally, Lead Ninja offers payment plans for anyone who’s short on cashflow and wants to use the lessons from Slade’s sales principles to help fund their attendance.
This is important for many salespeople who have been struggling, because it offers an opportunity to learn a critical skill during an uncertain time. According to Salesforce in 2024, 67% of sales reps didn’t expect to meet their quota during the year. For sales professionals just starting out, the affordable pricing options can help.
On the other end of the spectrum, Diamond Access, available for $14,997, will include a deep sea fishing trip on April 7th for more intimate networking. It also includes a 1-year membership to the Lead Ninja Mastermind Group and reserved seating in Row 1 during each sales session at the event. This is a rare opportunity to get close to one of the world’s most prominent sales training professionals for what promises to be one of his biggest events of the year.
Sales Training for Technicians and Maintenance Professionals Across a Range of Industries
Slade doesn’t limit his sales training to one type of industry. In fact, the principles Slade teaches tend to be universally applicable across almost any industry. For example, Slade’s EGSPA framework is something every sales professional can use. The “E” in EGSPA stands for “Establish a need for everything on the list.”
Sales professionals using this format will learn to turn statements about their products or services into thought-provoking questions that elicit critical answers from potential customers. Simple phrases like “Did you know…?” or “Were you aware…?” have helped some sales teams instantly transform how well they connect with clients.
“These questions start to make clients feel uncomfortable with the status quo,” said Slade. “And that’s what’s going to sway them to utilize your services.”
These sales training insights can be particularly beneficial for maintenance technicians who might not have any formal sales training. These professionals often interact with customers but lack the proper framework for using routine maintenance and repair calls to make new sales. For technicians like these, having an established framework can help instill confidence and trust with existing clients, leading to recurring revenue.
Joe Lane, a professional from Tampa, FL, reports that his company used Slade’s sales training and marketing programs and immediately saw improvements in both sales closing ratios and average ticket sizes from their technicians in the field. “I’ve been in the [maintenance] industry my whole life and been a key player in several startups and growing companies…I can honestly tell you that Gene Slade is the best maintenance training person in our entire industry.”
Helping Sales Professionals Multiply Their Income
Slade states that his Lead Ninja sales training system benefits both organizations and individuals. While entire teams can benefit from attending the training events together, individuals can also sign up for Lead Ninja training and explore the networking opportunities they present.
One student selling plumbing and solar services and equipment, Bobby Shawgo, offered a testimonial that highlighted just how transformational this approach can be. “After four days of live in-person training,” said Shawgo, “I feel empowered to grow my own income.”
It’s one thing to know Slade’s EGSPA blueprint for making sales. However, attending live events with detailed breakdowns for specific industries can be a game-changer for sales teams and individual students alike. On April 5-6, the “Blackbelt Sales Class” proves to be another formative and life-changing event for many of those in attendance.
