Gene Slade, the CEO and Founder of Lead Ninja System and Lead Ninja AI, is planning to host two exclusive sales training events this December at the luxurious Grandhalla Mansion near Orlando International Airport, where Slade expects to attract salespeople from across the country.
In the first event, kicking off with a check-in on Sunday, December 1, 2024, at 6 p.m., Slade will lead three-day training sessions from December 2-4. Slade is specifically tailoring this event for people in the sales industry who represent skilled trade industries. The event expects to wrap up with a check-out time of 10 a.m. on Thursday, December 5.
The second event is focused on high-ticket salespeople and comfort advisors. It begins on Friday, December 6, with check-in at 6 p.m. Attendees will undergo the sales training on December 7-8, ending with a check-out on Monday, December 9 at 10 a.m.
Participants can choose from premium accommodations, including King Suites at $7,500 for the first person and $2,500 for an additional guest, or bunk options at $6,497 per person. The package includes lodging, all meals, beverages, and access to the training sessions, making it a comprehensive experience for attendees—and a rare opportunity to learn sales techniques from a master.
What Typically Happens at Gene Slade Sales Training Events?
Slade is no stranger to sales training programs with big audiences. Having led Lead Ninja Mastermind training programs before, Slade regularly conducts virtual sales training where Lead Ninja students can both learn from Slade and pick his brain with coach-to-student interactions. Previous Slade events have covered everything from closing techniques to practice scripts. Such events also represent an opportunity for sales students to interact with others who are learning the Slade ninja techniques.
With over 34,000 followers on his Instagram, Slade’s sales techniques have already attracted a broad audience. Slade regularly shares techniques such as his five-step EGSPA method, a framework for asserting sales and handling customer objections.
For example, the “E” in EGSPA refers to the requirement that each salesperson establishes the need for each product of each customer they interact with. “Sales reps should memorize the six ways to turn a statement into a thought-provoking question. For example, ‘Did you know…? Were you aware…? Do you suppose…? Would you believe…? So you didn’t know…?’ Or, ‘So, you weren’t aware…?’” says Slade to LA Weekly.
In his sales events, Slade steers sales students through his entire framework. He also shares key techniques for keeping these strategies up-to-date with current customer expectations. Both December events promise to be a treasure trove of similar lessons for salespeople across multiple industries.
Turning Sales Lessons into New Business
Previous events from Gene Slade have already paid dividends for many students. After one retreat in Gatlinburg, some students reported increasing their earnings from $30,000-$40,000 per year to over $150,000 in less than 2 weeks—and above. For some top students in Slade’s Lead Ninja program, million-dollar months have been possible.
However, according to Slade, the goal isn’t always to build a classroom environment. To Slade, it can be just as valuable to network with other salespeople. Slade encourages students to find alignment with “other people who have the same dreams and goals as you.” This can often work across industries, as he has had students represent everything from HVAC and plumbing to consulting work.
One of Slade’s most noteworthy proteges, Erik Prough, was originally an attendee at a Grandhalla Mansion event in Orlando. Before joining Lead Ninja, Prough was only earning about $100 per workday, or $500 per week. But Slade’s techniques proved vital to getting Prough to stop living in his car and eventually earn $100,000 in his first year of the program. According to Prough, his boss once told him to “slow down” after this mansion event because Prough was selling at such a fast rate. Eventually, Prough represented a stunning $2.7 million in total sales for 2023 and is tracking for $5 million for 2024. All this while taking off the entire month of September to spend time with his family, thus living the values that Slade teaches.
Results like that will vary for each student, but one thing is clear: the Grandhalla events are can’t-miss opportunities for people looking to expand their sales horizons, learn new sales frameworks, and embrace a new style of sales.
