What is the The Art of Sales Arboristry course about?

Sales arborists often lose contracts not because of poor assessment, but because the client doesn’t feel heard, understood, or confident in the process. Technical knowledge alone doesn’t close deals , trust does. Without a structured way to build rapport, communicate value, and handle objections in real time, even the best recommendations fall flat. This leads to longer cycles, lost revenue, and burnout.
