Are you interested in sales training or coaching but don't have the budget at this time?
In that blog post I offer $1,500 worth of sales training...
How about how to generate revenue or how to get notoriety by winning business plan competitions?
My name is Craig Elias and on my first company won a $1,000,000 prize in a global billion dollar idea contest within 6 months of being up and running...

- About Me
- I am the creator of Trigger Event Selling™ and author of the upcoming book “SHiFT! Harness The ‘Trigger Events’ That TURN PROSPECTS INTO CUSTOMERS”.
For years you have been told there is no such thing as a silver bullet in sales. I can tell you there is A SILVER BULLET IN SALES, getting in front of the right person at EXACTLY the right time - after a decision maker has experienced a Trigger Event that makes them unhappy with what they have, but before they have started doing anything about it.
When you have timing the sale almost happens by itself - No challenges getting to the customer, understanding their dissatisfaction, presenting a solution, or closing the sale.
Every single day decision makers experience a Trigger Event that turns them, from someone who never would of bought from you yesterday, into someone highly likely to buy from you today.
When you leverage Trigger Events you get in front of these highly motivated, buyers before your competition, and you:
• Increase close ratios
• Shorten sales cycles
• Sell at higher prices
My knowledge of ‘Trigger Events' has resulted in:
• Winning a $1,000,000 prize in Tim Draper’s BILLION DOLLAR IDEA PITCH CONTEST
• Being a top sales performer at EVERY company that has hired me - including WorldCom where I was named the #1 salesperson within six months of joining the company.
• Coverage on NBC news, in The New York Times, Business 2.0, Sales & Marketing Management magazine, and The Wall Street Journal
I created Trigger Event Selling™ so others can:
• Identify the ‘Trigger Events' for their product/service
• Find out when these 'Trigger Events' happen
• Close more sales when ‘Trigger Events' do happen
Trigger Event Selling™ is focused on the ONE THING that is GUARANTEED to have the biggest impact on your sales: TIMING - Getting in front of the right buyer at EXACTLY the right time.
