The problem:

Visibility

You can't improve what you can't see.

Most companies measure activity and assume it equals progress. But two reps can make the same number of calls and get totally different outcomes. The difference makers in sales performance are behaviors: the questions asked, how well they listen, the stories they tell, and the commitments they secure. Once teams know what “good” looks like, everyone works to a consistent standard so every sales conversation counts.

Customer-Ready New Hires Within Days

Chris Szado

As a young man, Chris grew up in the commercial fishing industry, where execution was the difference between coming home or not. That world taught him that objectivity, clarity, and alignment are fundamental for leadership and survival.

Later, as a teacher, he learned how people actually learn, why they resist change, and how to make the complex simple.  He left the classroom for the pharmaceutical industry, where he carried two things with him: execution and facilitation. They became the foundation of how he sold and how he led.

After more than 30,000 sales calls across pharma, SaaS, and enterprise markets, he became obsessed with one question. What is Sales Excellence?

LiFT is the system he built to answer that.
