Sales and Influencing Strategies

Do you need to be more persuasive?  The techniques you will learn have been applied in situations including advertising, public speaking, customer service, traditional sales, and even parenting.  This is an action-packed and information-crammed program that's fun to boot!  You'll learn, for example, that cows don't 'give' milk...you actually have to take it!  Or, at least you need to know some basic techniques for getting those cows to yield the precious fluid. We won't be milking cows, but we will be learning techniques to increase the returns from our sales and influencing efforts. 

Just a few things you'll learn:

•     Why most 'selling' is anything but.

•     Why the best talkers make the worst sales people.

•     Eight way to make closing easy - plus a secret!
