Whether using a slideshow in front of a group, one-on-one-in-person, or on the phone, the best-of-the-best-sellers know how to use StorySelling to draw the customer in; read their reactions; call the customer to action and close the sale. This interactive program, created specifically for your audience demystifies the “StorySelling” process, breaks it down into manageable components, provides participants with a step-by-step process for building and delivering Stories That Sell, AND offers them a chance to practice their new skills in a safe, supportive environment.

Key Learnings: Participants will complete the program having learned…
• The core components of a compelling and effective “Selling Story”
• How to develop product-centered selling stories from a “blank slate”
• How to deliver an unforgettable story and transition into a compelling “Call to Action”
• How to develop their “Cultural Competence,” and instantly interpret an audience’s verbal non-verbal responses

By Gregg Ward & Jordan Goldrich

Gregg's latest book "The Least You Can Do: soft skills for no-nonsense managers" is due out very soon.  It's fundamental insight: “When the going gets tough, people get tough on each other.”  This is certainly true in today’s economy where our managers are under enormous pressure to meet their numbers.  A student of “servant leadership,” Gregg refocuses managers on getting the best out of employees and keeping conflict to a minimum with just the bare minimum of soft skills that even the most hard-nosed manager will be willing to learn and use.
