Whether we like to admit it or not, we’re all salespeople at some point in our many different roles, such as being a parent, project manager, or entrepreneur. We all have opportunities to influence or persuade others for their benefit and potentially ours as well. Developing these skills is one of the most productive, and fun, things you can do to further your success in just about everything you do.
We’ll discuss how a mindset of helping others, and focusing on their needs and wishes can serve you well. This session includes an interactive demonstration of how your intentions can derail your effectiveness if you’re not careful. You’ll learn how to be more effective in relationships without being manipulative.
During the March Biz Café, Tom will cover:
How to be more effective by adopting three simple practices. Seriously, only three, and you’ll wish you’d heard this advice years ago.
Myths versus reality in effective sales behaviors
We’ll define simple versus complex sales, and why they require a very different approach.
Is there such a thing as a dumb question, and how to avoid them.
Stories of unexpected success and humbling failures in my sales career.
