The Nature of Change —  In this module, we present the six fundamental concepts on which the MasterStream Method is based: Change, Control, Value, Productive Tension, Structure and Fully-Integrated Honesty.

The ChangeGrid — During this module, participants complete an individual “ChangeGrid” — our proprietary diagnostic tool which reveals the level of productive tension each participant is experiencing across a wide range of sales-related activities. Participants also learn several ChangeGrid Maneuvers — techniques for managing productive tension in themselves and their existing and prospective customers.

The MasterStream Strategic Framework — This module presents our visual model for monitoring and maintaining the ideal conditions for a successful sale.

The MasterStream Approach — This section explores all of the ways in which MasterStream's fundamental principles apply and impact each of the 5 phases of the sales approach: Connecting, Analyzing, Solving, Committing and Relieving. Depending on the length of the program, for each phase, we will explore its Goals, Strategy, General Guidelines, Path of Self-Discovery, Protocol, Common Errors and Decision Map.

Applications of the MasterStream Method — This section puts participants into a variety of sales situations and gives them the opportunity to apply the concepts and skills they have learned.

Drill for Skill — This module exercises each participant’s ability to perform the specific skills taught during the program.  Included are a variety of drills that the client may continue as reinforcement after the program has concluded, including:  Unison, Progressive, Richochet, Hot Potato, Fountain, Speed and Scramble drills.
