No More Sitting On The Bench For You!
Get New Business, Paying Clients, And Grow Your Revenue Easily While Enjoying The Sales Process!
I can hear you sighing right now…
Ugh, that’s not my thing! I’ll wait a moment…
believe it or not, I’ve heard it before!
- You might be like Frank, an introverted entrepreneur…
“I’m good at what I do but I’m not good at sales. I find it sleazy, I’m not a fast talkin’ sales kind of guy. I wish I never had to do any sales for my business”
- Or maybe you’re like Sarah
“I just dread a sales call. I feel pressure building up for the big rejection. It really weighs me down. But, it’s the only way to bring in new revenue to my business.”
- How about Janine
“It’s part of my job. It’s a small part but an important part. Yet, on the days I have sales calls, it’s all consuming.”
- Or Steven
“I feel like the only thing that is truly measured is the sales numbers, and I always come up short. I know it’s not my strength. I’ve taken training but it’s all so vague and it didn’t help!”
What is Changing The Sales Game?
I’m Connie Whitman and I am thrilled you landed on my website!
I believe that people land on this website because they are looking for better sales results and revenue generation for themselves, their teams and organization to transform.
But the problem is that most sales processes don’t work because they teach transactional, money driven solutions versus deep, relationship based, mutually profitable connections.
Here at Changing the Sales Game we believe in community and a win/win philosophy. Both the prospect/client and you need to win or it’s the sale should not take place. All your sales efforts should come from a place of love, care, and respect. No sleazy, sales approaches here.
Check out all the exciting, and cool, free resources we offer right here on this page. Any questions, I am an email away and would love to connect to see how we can support your professional growth by Changing Your Sales Game, so you are able to build long-term profitable relationships and get off the prospecting wheel to nowhere.
Communication Style Assessment (CSA)™
Have you ever wondered why some people communicate so effectively
and seem to captivate their audience? Are you curious about how you communicate and how your messages are received by clients?
“I’m good at what I do but I’m not good at sales. I find it sleazy, I’m not a fast talkin’ sales kind of guy. I wish I never had to do any sales for my business”
Guess what? You’re right. Sales can definitely be a burden. Especially when there is so much poorly constructed “one size fits all” training. And don’t get me started on all the movies that portray dominating personalities taking advantage of people using the sales process as their vehicle. All the famous quotes from Glengarry Glen Ross and Wolf of Wall Street never helped anyone.
“Don’t try to close too early”
This is a rinse and repeat system that works!
How does that feel?
“Don’t try to close too early”
- Do you feel your anxiety floating away?
- Getting excited about making sales?
- Are you imagining what you could finally do with your business?
I know right! Because I was there too! I started out in Chrysler credit. I was their leasing person and everyone said I was great at sales? It took a long time before I understood what they meant?
Because I wasn’t trying “to sell” anyone. That sounded horrible to me. I was trying to educate the dealers on their best options. My goal was to help them. I didn’t know you could help people and it still be sales? That’s when everything changed for me.
And this led me down the path of getting all my MBA and other financial licenses which complimented my degree. Now, I’m on a mission to make sales what it should be…. Helpful!

Let’s Get You Off The Bench, And In The Game!!
Module 1: You're On The Clock
As a hockey mom, I’ve heard all sorts of replies to losing a game. My favorite is “we didn’t lose the game, we just ran out of time.” And I hear that same sentiment in the world of sales. Way too often you think… “ahh if I only had more time.”
Module 2: Earn The Trust Of The Team!
Being “sold to” is a big barrier that you need to overcome. You have to earn a person’s trust so they want you on their team! This is super important and often overlooked.
When my boys played hockey, they trusted their team completely. This allowed them to play without hesitation or resistance. They didn’t have to stop and think, they just delivered!
In sales, most people end up “performing” and that doesn’t create trust.
I get it….
You want them to think you’re the answer to their problems.
But you didn’t earn their trust. Without their trust, you’re out of the game!
Module 3: Game Day
This is where the puck drops!
You have a sales call!
And it can create a surge of adrenaline.
It can be very exciting when you think about the potential business.
And that’s why so many mishandle the puck here!
You come in over confident, you think you have the answer without all the information. The reality is that you don’t know the plays.
You need to be game ready!
You need to see the big picture.
You need to see the ice, not the play.
Module 4: Understanding The Game Plan
Module 5: Can You Bring Value As A Team Mate?
In hockey, the coach knows what to look for…based on the player’s skill level. This is the tryouts! And frankly, this is your tryout!
If you’re in alignment with them.
You’re the perfect match…
This is where customers say: “yeah, lets’ do it, I love the plan”
“I want you on my team!”
If the client is not a fit… you tell them “you’re not ready for me”
Don’t force yourself on them…this will cost you if you do.
The client should be saying “where have you been all my life?”
