What you will learn:

Several years ago, when my company moved me to their Wall Street office as an institutional broker selling to large clients in Dallas, Houston and Galveston, I was trained by a securities analyst whose training was encyclopedic in scope but left me feeling that something was wrong.

The problem was simply that I was a walking computer, which I figured out early on was beneficial to the understanding of a company but not in terms of reaching my prospective clients at a meaningful level

Because of this background, I vowed then that if I were ever to develop people in some form of business development program, it would have to be a “whole brain” process. It would mean that we would have to develop the left side of the brain with product knowledge and the right side with the people skills to allow the transference of whatever products/services you represent efficiently.

As a result, you will learn…………………..

  •          whether you are selling computers, software, musical instruments, commercial or residential real estate,   legal - accounting - or engineering services or jet engines……..it’s all the same.  A product/service is being sold to another for a price or fee. There are a few different steps you might have to take but the principles are the same.

  •         how to use your product/service knowledge to best advantage under any circumstances or any conditions to move the sale forward.

  •       how to position yourself in a meeting whether selling one-on-one or to a board of directors in a large company. You will know the players, their focus and how to effectively use that information.

  •       when you have internal (non sales) corporate meetings with your president, CEO, managers and/or employees, how to achieve your goals. Once learned, you will be able to observe FEARS AND EGOS at work and how to deal with them in any situation.

  •         if seeking cash flow privately, from a bank, angel or VC, how to bring your highest self to the meeting and be real for a powerful impact.
