Learn How to Sell Easier by Becoming a Sales SHERPA
Learn How to Sell Better by Becoming a Sales Sherpa
Sales conversations can be difficult and uncomfortable.
You built (or sell!) an amazing product that can massively help the right people.
But finding the right people is proving to be so much harder than you thought.
Most of your current clients came from referrals, and they're all very happy with working with you. And just as importantly, you enjoy working with them.
Now, you're ready to grow and build your business more.
You need more clients, and you can't always rely on referrals. So, you need to start networking and reaching out to cold leads. And those conversations just aren't going as well as they do when you're talking to somebody who already knows what you do and how you help.
You're stuck—you can't grow and scale your business if you don't know how to sell your product to prospects who don't understand how you're different or how you can help them.
Having better sales conversations starts with
becoming a Sales SHERPA.
Sherpas lead people to success, and they’re able to do it because of the knowledge and experience they’ve gained.
As an entrepreneur and salesperson, you can lead people to make the best decisions for themselves by being:
Skeptical
Helpful
Empathetic
Resolute
Practiced
Accepting
And you can learn how by taking The Sales SHERPA Course!
Build Trust

Ask Better Questions

It’s not just you;
everybody struggles with some part of the sales conversation.
A lot of it comes down to personality. Your personality determines a lot of your natural strengths and challenges. Because of how much I’ve studied and observed different personality types and communication styles, both in sales and out, I’ve been able to coach and roleplay with a variety of people to help them improve their sales conversations.
Here’s what some of them have said:
Mason Yu
Digital Agency Owner
John Hill's sales expertise and psychological process completely transformed and reshaped my thinking when it came to talking to prospects. I was more comfortable asking for higher prices for my expertise after working with him, and his questions-first approach definitely put the pressure off of having to over-explain and justify my services and consulting work. The wonderful thing about this mindset is that it has proven helpful in many surprising areas of my life.
Brandon King
Commercial Insurance Producer
John has helped me improve both my sales skills and daily activity by implementing a process and detaching from the outcome. By switching to KPI’s that are measurable and attainable, I’ve been able to create a success cookbook that lets me put work down once I’ve reached my measurables. Additionally, we have worked extensively on role-playing conversations, engaging with prospects from a place of curiosity, going for a “no”, and most importantly, figuring out my DISC profile. By doing this, I know how I speak to others and have identified my personal blind spots (which are many). It is only after you become self-aware that you can truly start to work on areas that need improvement. I would recommend John and his methods to anybody who is looking to communicate more effectively and put a plan in place that is measurable and attainable.

As a salesperson, I’ve gone to quite a lot of sales workshops. The information is always good but putting it into action is not always easy, so I usually go back to my old ways about a week later. Working with John is so different. He takes the time to help me with actual clients, not just teaching me abstract principles. I love working with John and can attest that my overall sales process has improved as has my bottom line!

Are you interested in having good sales conversations EVERY time you talk with a lead? John can take you there. Are you interested in being confident that you have all the knowledge you need to close? John can equip you. Are you interested in a process you can rely on, instead of winging it with your talent? Hire John!

Corrugated Box Sales
John is always available to help me talk through my roadblocks. The best is when I have a sales conversation that I know could’ve gone better and he will help me debrief so that I learn for the next time I’m in the same situation.
I would not be where I am today without John. Being able to have someone who holds me accountable for my behaviors is key to my success. And John always makes sure that I am honest with myself.
Through my years of selling, I have lost my way a few times. I can always count on John to bring me back on track. His ability to nail down specific targets and actionable goals is a game-changer.

He will treat you with respect and you will be better for knowing him!

Who Am I ?
I’m John “Small Mountain” Hill, owner of Adapted Growth.
You’re here because you know there’s a better way to sell; you just don’t know where to start.
I approach sales a little differently than most of the big-name sales gurus. For me, it’s about building trust with prospects and selling with empathy for my prospects’ pains and needs. If you’re here, that probably appeals to you too.
As a lifelong salesperson and now business owner, I know how hard it is to work on developing your conversational skills and pushing through discomfort on your own. Most people don't even know where to begin with changing the way you communicate to have better sales conversations. And learning by yourself takes mountains of study and years of experience.
But between this course, the Sales Practice Lab roleplay group, and my many years of selling and coaching experience, both in sales and martial arts, you can significantly shortcut that path to improvement!
If you're not sure this course is right for you, let’s talk about it.

As a lifelong salesperson and business owner, I know how hard it is to work on developing your conversational skills and pushing through discomfort on your own. You can only roleplay with friends and family so much, and practicing sales calls in front of huge groups at conferences or networking events is a nightmare!
That’s why building this course was so important to me; I know how hard it is to improve on your own. But between this course, the Sales Practice Lab roleplay group, and my many years of selling and coaching experience, both in sales and martial arts, you can shortcut that path to improvement by a lot!
