Episode 366 – 7 Steps to Win the Sale (NCHPBA Breakout Session)
“Sales is communicating wisdom to bring someone to the point of a decision.”
In this episode, Tim shares a recording of a live class he taught at the North Central HPBA annual event in Wisconsin—a complete walkthrough of the seven-step sales process that took him from a fumbling installer with zero sales training to a multi-store manager whose teams broke every record he’d set. It’s the blocking and tackling of selling, and it’s the class he loves teaching most.
In this episode, Tim covers:
– Why most showrooms think they’re writing estimates for 80% of walk-ins when the real number is closer to 17%—and how tracking door swings changes everything
– The “magic question” and the fireplaces-suck story—word-for-word scripts that build trust fast and translate technical features into language customers at an A or B level can actually understand
– Why handing a customer too much information is like handing them bowling balls—and how explaining your three-step process makes the close take care of itself
Don’t miss this one if you’ve ever wondered why great product knowledge doesn’t translate into sales—because the route from greeting to gratitude is teachable, and Tim hands you the whole map.
