QUICK ANSWER

How do you build a complete sales talk track from scratch?

A talk track isn’t a script you memorize — it’s a structured message you build from real answers about your product, your customer, and your market. This module walks you through all 10 parts of that build process.

By the end you’ll have a complete, personalized in-person talk track, a phone talk track, and an elevator pitch — all built from the same foundation and ready to use Monday morning.

Build your complete in-person talk track using the 10-part workbook process
Develop your phone cold calling talk track from the same foundation
Create your elevator pitch for quick in-person situations
Learn what to reference, how to use case studies, and how to find your method of engagement

WHO IT’S FOR

Is this the right course for you?

✓ This is for you
You have the Module 04 value proposition but want to build your complete talk track library
You want a structured, step-by-step process to build your messaging — not a fill-in-the-blank template
You struggle to adapt your message to different situations (in-person vs. phone vs. quick elevator pitch)
You want everything written out and ready before you start prospecting
You’re a manager who wants each rep to build their own customized talk tracks
✗ This isn’t for you
You’re looking for pre-written scripts you can use without building anything yourself
You haven’t completed Module 04 — the value proposition foundation comes first
You sell direct-to-consumer or e-commerce
You want prospecting strategy — go to Module 07 or 08 for that

FAQ

Questions before you enroll.

What’s included in the workbook?

The workbook walks through all 10 parts of building your talk track: what you do, what makes your offering special, why the client should care, who you can reference, case studies, method of engagement, and then the final three deliverables — in-person talk track, phone talk track, and elevator pitch.

Can I buy this module on its own?

No. This module is available exclusively as part of the Modern Sales Performer collection — 14 modules, 18+ hours. Learn more about the full collection →

Should I complete Module 04 first?

Yes. Module 04 teaches the value proposition formula and gives you the raw material. Module 05 is where you build it out into your full talk track library. They work together.

How long does it take to complete the workbook?

That depends on how thorough you are. Most reps take a few hours to work through all 10 parts seriously. The goal is something you actually use, not something you rush through.

Can my company reimburse me?

Many companies cover sales training as a professional development expense. Treas. Reg. §1.162-5 also lets individuals deduct training that maintains or improves professional skills. Ask your accountant.
