I write about sales, leadership & productivity to help you become a top sales performer. RSM at Lonestar Forklift | AIB MBA

Hey,

I’m Chris Crane, and my mission is simple: transforming industrial sales reps into formidable sales professionals.

Over my 15-year sales career, I’ve closed over $100 million in industrial equipment deals, trained more than 150 reps, and led industrial sales teams across Canada and the U.S.

I built the Scaling Success System™ to give industrial sales reps what no one else offers: a sales operating system specifically engineered for industrial sales. This system has taught over 150+ industrial sales reps to make over $250k+ per year consistently, and it can do the same for you. 

This isn’t theory. It’s a proven system designed to cut through the noise and turn conversations into conversions.

Your quota isn’t just tied to skill. It’s tied to how much you learn. 

Most reps skim headlines.
They never finish the chapter.
They never build the habits that sharpen their advantage.

They celebrate small wins.
They stop improving after quota.
They forget that continuous learning is a must. 

Here’s what I know:
→ Books compound advantage.
→ They sharpen instincts reps overlook.
→ The best closers study strategy when others chase shortcuts.

Consider these takeaways: 
→ Stories create connection.
→ Urgency must be discovered, not forced.
→ Buyers need to feel like the decision is theirs.
→ Most reps pitch too early because they never uncover real pain.
→ Psychological leverage comes from trust built before the solution is ever shown.

If you’re not reading, you’re already losing ground.

The $100M Closer | I install the Scaling Success System™ in your industrial sales organization. Your team gets a 5x return.

Most companies think they understand why the buyer buys, but they often fail here. 

They let buyers wander through stages.
They hope the prospect “moves forward.”
The the consumer decision-making process like a passive observation.

And that’s why deals drift, stall, and disappear.

If your a sales leader, here is what you need to consider:

Awareness doesn’t happen by luck.
→You establish authority, name the issue, and trigger the need.

Research isn’t random.
→Your questions expose the friction points the buyer didn’t see yet.

Consideration isn’t a comparison game.
→You redirect, clarify cost, and anchor your solution using their logic.

Conversion isn’t an emotional moment.
→It’s the natural result of controlled sequencing.

Re-purchase isn’t about satisfaction.
→It’s about systemized follow-up & expectation management

Here’s what happens when companies operationalize these stages with a unified system, like the Scaling Success System™

→ Objections decrease
→ Deal velocity increases
→ Repeat business multiplies
→ Forecasts become accurate

The buyer’s journey isn’t something you monitor, it’s something you command.

You can’t scale a team on hope.

Most leaders think they have a system.
They think their reps are following the process.
They think deal flow is healthy because the dashboard is green. 

Then quarter-end hits and everything falls apart.

The pipeline shrinks.
The “strong” opportunities melt under basic questions.
And the reps who sounded confident two weeks ago suddenly can’t defend a single number. 

The problem wasn’t effort.
The problem was structure.
And structure is where most companies quietly bleed.

So I installed the Scaling Success System™ inside a team that was missing quota for 6 straight quarters.

We rebuilt from the ground up using Canon Pillars and the integrated frameworks: CICSR™ for discovery, ARC5™ for objection control, and PTR™ for resistance handling. 

Here’s what changed:

→ Reps stopped “winging” discovery and started running CICSR™ with discipline.
→ Leadership stopped guessing and started inspecting using the 5 Core Pillars.
→ Deals stopped stalling because ARC5™ became the default cadence.

Here’s why it worked:

→ When a team has a unified operating system, performance compounds.
→ When reps follow a framework, conversations stop collapsing.
→ When leaders coach the same structure the reps execute, forecasting becomes real.

Teams don’t fail from a lack of effort. They fail from a lack of architecture.

P.S. This is just a sample of what I teach

Most sales leaders don’t coach their team.

They manage metrics.
They push for more activity.
They don’t build performance.

I’ve seen it too many times.

The pipeline stalls.
Good reps get stuck.
leadership has no clue why.

Here’s what I know:
→ Good leaders are good coaches
→ Good teams are properly coached
→ Good coaching provides clear guidance 

Consider these 8 tips: 
→ Be direct
→ Design actions
→ Set goals & follow up
→ Hold them accountable
→ Establish solid agreements
→ Create a trusted environment
→ Use powerful direct questioning 
→ Practice focused, active listening

Ask yourself: What could I be doing better than I am doing today as a leader? 

Want my full leadership framework? 

Comment "leadership" and I will send it over.

Stalled teams don’t need motivation. They need a system.

Most organizations...

Blame the rep.
Blame the market.
Blame “seasonality."

Then they wonder why performance keeps flat lining.

I was brought in to evaluate a team that hadn’t closed a meaningful deal in 90 days.

→ Pipeline looked full.
→ Nothing was moving.
→They blame the market.

The problem was obvious the moment I listened to three calls.

→ Discovery was shallow.
→ Objections were mishandled.
→ Deals were dying because nobody was controlling the rhythm.

So I installed the Scaling Success System™ 

→ CICSR™ for discovery flow.
→ ARC5™ for call control and objection sequencing.
→ PTR™ for categorizing the real resistance instead of fighting ghosts.

Within 30 days:
→ Conversion on second meetings doubled.
→ Deals stopped slipping into “next quarter.”
→ Reps finally understood why process beats personality.

Within 60 days:
→ Leaders could forecast accurately.
→ Reps stopped wasting time on dead opportunities.
→ High-stakes meetings became predictable instead of chaotic.

Within 90 days:
→ Revenue stabilized.
→ Momentum took over.
→ The team wasn’t guessing anymore

Here’s the truth:
→ Structure removes failure.
→ Systems remove hesitation.
→ Frameworks remove inconsistency.

When you replace hope with architecture, everything changes.

The first 90 days don’t determine your sales career, your first 900 do.

Everyone wants fast results.

But sales rewards those who stay.

Not those who hit early numbers.
Not those who get lucky with leads.
Not those who jump teams when it gets hard.

It rewards the reps who stay disciplined when it’s boring.

It rewards the ones who master the territory.

The ones who build relationships before they need them.

The ones who show up even when it feels like nothing’s working.

Most reps fail not from lack of talent.

They fail because they confuse discomfort with a sign to leave.

Top performers don’t chase momentum.

They create it, protect it, and compound it.

Great careers reward permanence, not panic.

900 days.

Mark it down.

Most teams don’t lose deals at the close, they lose them because they never lead the close.

Closing isn’t a mystery.
It isn’t “reading the room.”
It isn’t a special personality.

It’s structure.

It removes hesitation by anchoring to the next logical step.
It shifts the buyer from decision-making to decision-confirming.
It reinforces leadership, which is the core of every successful sales interaction.

Assumptive questions only land when the system behind them is solid because control isn’t created in the close, it’s created in the discovery and reinforced through ARC5™.

Here’s how each question maps to elite selling psychology:

→ “What method of payment would you like to use?”
Positions the deal as already aligned and moves the buyer into action mode.

→ “How quickly would you like the product delivered?”
Transitions from evaluation to implementation, a psychological shift buyers follow.

→ “Whose name do I make the invoice out to?”
Anchors administrative certainty and removes ambiguity.

→ “How many of these items do I need to put you down for?”
Frames quantity, not commitment, removing risk from the answer.

→ “What day do you want our technician to do the installation?”
Assumes forward motion and reinforces that the solution is the next step, not the question.

Here’s what organizations see when assumptive closes become standard:

→ Faster decision velocity
→ Stronger buyer confidence
→ Reduced last-minute resistance
→ Higher proposal-to-close conversion

Most reps try to “get the close right." Elite teams get the system right, and the close becomes automatic.

P.S. This is just a sample of what I teach

If you want to improve your selling ability right now, I created a FREE 5-day course to get you started: 👉https://lnkd.in/gaNEXimq

Most teams don’t realize how fragile their pipeline actually is.

They think more activity will fix it.
They think reps just need to “try harder.”
They think next quarter will magically look better.

It never does.

I worked with a team that looked strong on paper.

They had volume.
They had experience.
They had decent territory coverage.

But they had no system.

Every proposal looked different.
Every rep ran their own version of discovery.
Every close depended on whatever mood the rep was in that day.

You can’t scale chaos.

So we rebuilt everything through the Scaling Success System™.

→ We rebuilt discovery using CICSR so reps finally exposed real cost.
→ We rebuilt objection handling using PTR so stalls got categorized instead of feared.
→ And we rebuilt deal flow with ARC5 so reps controlled rhythm instead of losing momentum.

Three weeks later the shift was obvious.

→ Deals moved faster.
→ Customer confidence spiked.
→ And reps who were “average” suddenly looked elite.

Here’s the truth: systems outperform talent because systems don’t collapse under pressure.

P.S. This is just a sample of what I teach

If you're ready to improves your sales team's outcomes and you want to install a proven system with proven frameworks, start here: 👉https://lnkd.in/g4t7DKmP

You don’t fix a rep’s confidence by giving them more motivation.

They think their issue is mindset.
They think they just need “to believe.”
They think confidence shows up before competence.

But every stalled rep I’ve coached followed the same pattern.

They avoided real discovery.
They softened their questions.
They hid behind “relationship building” instead of leading the call.

Here’s where deals died:

They never took the buyer deep enough.
They never quantified the cost.
They never created the urgency the deal required.

So I taught them CICSR the way it’s meant to be used — with pressure, sequence, and control.
→ Context to ground the conversation in reality.
→ Issue to expose the friction they kept glossing over.
→ Cost to make the buyer say their own pain out loud.
→ Solution to co-create the future instead of pitching features.
→ Resistance to surface the objections early so nothing blindsided them later. 

→  The shift was immediate.
→ Their questions sharpened.
→ Their confidence finally came from evidence, not hope.

Your confidence doesn’t grow before the work. It grows because of the work.

P.S. This is just a sample of what I teach

If you want to improve your selling ability right now, I created a FREE 5-day course to get you started: 👉https://lnkd.in/gaNEXimq

The deal almost died because I broke my own rule: never accept the first answer.

The timeline sounded “set.”
The buyer sounded confident.
The numbers sounded reasonable.

But something was off.

The answers were too clean.
The logic didn’t match the pain.
The urgency didn’t match the cost.

I stopped the drift and shifted into ARC5.

→ First, I aligned — calm, steady, zero resistance.
→ Then I redirected — “Walk me through what’s actually causing the slowdown.”
→ Then I clarified — and that’s where everything cracked open.

→ The “minor delay” was costing them six figures a quarter.
→ The “non-urgent project” was stalling three other initiatives.
→ The “we’ll revisit next month” was actually fear of making the wrong call.

So I reframed using their own admissions.

“You said the delays hit revenue, correct? And because they hit revenue, the cost stacks every week, correct?”

I tied the issue to the consequence, the consequence to the math, and the math to the solution.

Once the logic was undeniable, closing was a formality.

→ The hesitation vanished.
→ The timeline moved forward.
→ The deal locked in that afternoon.

Control isn’t force. Control is sequence.

P.S. This is just a sample of what I teach

If you want to improve your selling ability right now, I created a FREE 5-day course to get you started: 👉https://lnkd.in/gaNEXimq

Most reps don’t follow a sales process, they follow their emotions. 

They panic during objections.
They forget what they already uncovered.
They rush to close without setting the stage.

Here’s what I know:

→ They use structure to create control.
→ Great reps don’t “wing it” in critical conversations.
→ They follow a sequence that leads the buyer, not chases them.

Most sales reps skip the steps that build trust.

They push too early.
They misread the buyer’s resistance.
They never anchor their solution to the real pain.

Here’s how elite reps use the ARC5™ sequence to run a world-class sales process:

→ Align: Start by agreeing with the buyer’s concern to lower resistance.
→ Redirect: Guide the conversation back to what really matters, their pain.
→ Clarify: Dig into the issue, quantify the cost, and confirm what’s at stake.
→ Reframe: Position your solution as the logical fix, backed by ROI.
→ Close: Affirm the outcome, set the timeline, and secure the next step.

It’s not just a framework.
It’s a cheat code for closing high-value deals.
It’s how top 1% reps stay in control of every conversation.

Sales isn’t just personality, it’s about process.

P.S. This is just a sample of what I teach.

Three quarters in a row, the number slipped.
The CRO was out of answers.
Reps were burning out, the board was circling, and pressure was suffocating.

After one framework from our Revenue Engine OS™, that same org hit 114% the next quarter — with no new hires and no extra leads.

A $40M HR tech firm was losing 6 out of 10 deals to “no decision.”
Their pipeline looked full. It was fiction.
After installing our discovery system, deal velocity jumped 65% and win rates climbed 47%.

A fintech startup took 14 months to ramp reps.
After Venli, they did it in 6 and doubled first-year retention.

That is where we step in — when chaos meets quota pressure.

At Venli Consulting, we help CROs, VPs of Sales, and Revenue Leaders fix the invisible breakdowns that quietly drain $2–$10M+ in revenue every year.

Every strategist and trainer on our team has led sales organizations from the trenches.
We have carried quota, built teams, and scaled revenue firsthand.

Because most sales orgs do not have lazy reps.
They have leaky systems:

→ Discovery that fails to create urgency
→ Demos that die in silence
→ Managers stuck chasing deals instead of building people

I’m Marcus Chan, Founder & CEO of Venli and creator of the Revenue Engine OS™, a proven system used by 100+ organizations to turn chaos into predictable growth.

Before Venli, I led a $195M/year Fortune 500 sales organization, earned 12 promotions in 8 years, and authored a Wall Street Journal bestselling book.
