How do you improve your sales reps without turning them into product-pitch robots?

In this episode of Entry & Exit, hosts Stephen Olmon and Collin Trimble (Alarm Masters, Houston) break down the core philosophy behind consultative selling: better discovery, better questions, and better qualification. Fresh off their sales kickoff (SKO), they share the frameworks and drills they use to help reps uncover budget, reach decision-makers (authority), find the compelling event, and confidently ask for the business—without overpromising or losing integrity.

If you’re running a security, alarm, life safety, or service business, this is a practical playbook for building a sales team that closes more of the opportunities they pursue.

In This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• Discovery vs. demos: why great reps win with questions, not features
• Consultative selling: listening, probing, and guiding the process
• Budget conversations: anchor pricing and avoiding surprise objections
• The compelling event: “Why now?” and how urgency impacts deals
• Sales training that sticks: role plays, Watch–Do–Teach, and coaching
