[Discuss Your Team’s Training](https://meetings.hubspot.com/walt-melcher/talk-to-an-expert) ## Questions Leaders Ask Who is this program designed for? Account managers, relationship managers, client advisors, customer success and service professionals, and technical experts who influence the customer’s experience. It helps them strengthen customer outcomes and growth through the work they already do. How is this different from Bold Value Selling? Bold Value Selling supports professionals who pursue and close sales opportunities. This program focuses on the ongoing relationship after the sale: onboarding, customer value, retention, growth, and advocacy. Both use the Bold Value Method so teams can work from shared language and tools. Does my team need to become salespeople? No. Participants learn to ask stronger questions, engage stakeholders, demonstrate value, recognize risk, and uncover relevant opportunities. They learn to motivate appropriate next steps and involve sales when that fits their responsibilities. Can we start with selected workshops? Yes. Choose the complete eight-module program or focus on a priority such as onboarding, customer retention, or stakeholder engagement. We help you select the foundation skills and workshops that fit your team’s needs. How is training delivered and tailored? Short on-demand videos support workshops delivered in person, online, or in a hybrid format. Walt uses relevant customer situations, practical tools, discussion, and feedback. We agree on the schedule and scope around your team’s needs. Can this work with our customer lifecycle and CRM? Yes. The four stages provide a shared structure, and customer-confirmed milestones can guide account reviews and CRM progression. We align the language and tools to your process. CRM configuration is a separate implementation task. Is manager training included? Manager development is a separate offering. We can discuss how it supports reinforcement alongside your team’s customer growth program. What determines the investment? Investment depends on team size, workshop scope, delivery format, and tailoring. Your proposal confirms the program, access, tools, follow-up, and investment. ## Equip Your Team to Grow Customer Value Talk with Walt about your customer growth priorities and the program or workshops that fit your team.
