About this Event

Welcome to the Coaching & Connections, a Networking and Masterclass event. This month's topic is: WIN MORE DEALS!


Led by guest presenter and industry-leading sales conversion expert Dave Priddy with EPOCH Sales Management Solutions, this month's presentation introduces a structured, repeatable sales process designed to help small business owners improve consistency and effectiveness in their sales conversations.

The session walks participants through a clear five-step framework – Prospect, Qualify, Present, Propose, and Close – while emphasizing the importance of preparation, strong call openings, and effective discovery. A major focus is on asking the right questions to uncover true customer needs and using the SVIC framework (Summarize, Verify, Importance, Commitment) to confirm understanding and gain early commitment.

Throughout the session, participants learn how to lead more productive sales conversations by listening more, establishing value before discussing price, and aligning their solutions directly to customer challenges. Practical examples and simple closing techniques help reinforce how to confidently guide prospects toward next steps without pressure, making the process feel natural and customer-focused.

Walk away with...

  • more direction,
  • additional resources,
  • and an opportunity for networking with colleagues,
  • PLUS a special offer from Dave Priddy for attendees!


Join us at Dave & Buster's Edina (Southdale) location on May 5th at 3:00 PM (CT) for an afternoon of growth and networking.
