3 Conversations You Need to Win

description

You can do everything right as a company…design, develop and launch killer products, refashion your go-to-market strategy to seize growth opportunities, and acquire other companies to drive inorganic growth. But there’s a gap between all of these great strategies and your prospects and customers actually agreeing to buy from you. Your salespeople, with their lips moving, are attempting to bridge that gap. Unfortunately, most are failing. According to sales managers surveyed by SiriusDecisions, your salespeople’s inability to articulate value is the #1 reason they’re missing their quota…and you’re missing your growth targets. Learn how companies like ADP, Cisco, GE, Motorola, UPS and DuPont are creating compelling stories and enabling their salespeople to deliver them in a remarkable, memorable way.

Good Intentions. Wrong Instincts.

Changing someone’s mind isn’t a question of pushing new information on people and trying to explain it in words. It’s more about helping people see the inconsistency in themselves and then all of a sudden the mental model will shift naturally and easily.

Gary Klein, scientist and author “The Power of Intuition” and “Seeing What Others Don’t”
