ARMBAR Sales Training

Master the ARMBAR Sales Methodology

The systematic approach that uses leverage, adaptability, and strategic positioning to transform sales teams. Take the guesswork out of forecasting with the proven methodology designed for consistent team performance.

The ARMBAR Methodology

A systematic, repeatable framework that gives sales professionals the leverage they need to consistently close deals and exceed quotas.

A - Authority
Identify all decision-makers, approvers, and signers in your deal. Understand the approval process, board requirements, and vacation schedules. Never assume—always ask who needs to approve the deal.
R - Requirement
Uncover the compelling event driving the purchase. Find the pain points and attach monetary value to solving them. Great salespeople don't just find requirements—they create them.
M - Moment
Understand not just when they want to close, but why that date matters. Build a detailed close plan with milestones and get customer commitment to the timeline.
B - Budget
Confirm budget exists, is approved, and aligns with your solution cost. Understand funding sources, approval processes, and fiscal cycles. Never assume budget until you have proof.
A - Approach
Understand the deal type, procurement process, legal requirements, and PO procedures. Engage procurement and legal early to avoid last-minute surprises.
R - Risks
Identify what could go wrong, rate risks 1-10, and develop mitigation plans. Address competition, budget shifts, and stakeholder changes before they derail your deal.

The ARMBAR Advantage

Leverage-Based Approach

Unlike other methodologies that focus on single aspects, ARMBAR uses leverage principles from Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu to systematically gain advantage throughout the sales cycle.

Forecast Accuracy

ARMBAR takes the guesswork out of deal probability by providing a systematic framework for qualifying deals in—and more importantly, qualifying deals out.

Always Be Qualifying

Move beyond "Always Be Closing" to "Always Be Qualifying." Every customer interaction becomes an opportunity to strengthen your position and gather critical information.

Risk Mitigation

Identify and address risks early in the sales cycle, preventing last-minute surprises that derail deals and damage forecasts.
