How To Sell & Influence Powerfully~ a session for leaders

Are you:

• A business leader who wants to sell your products or services with more ease & confidence; or
• A business leader who wants to influence & get a "yes!" to your ideas more often than not
• A sales leader with integrity, who wants your team to love sales & get great at it;

If you agree with any or all of the below, then this free interactive workshop is for you:

• I understand the importance of influencing people rather than forcing them - and I'd like to get better at influencing
• I understand that the game of sales has changed - and sales people need to be strategic and smart about selling.
• I know that people these days don't want to just be sold to, they want products and services that solve their problems & make a real difference in their lives
• I know if my business or department is to succeed, my team and I need to get comfortable with - and very good at - sales
• I do have products and services that make a positive impact on people's lives - I want to get them out there to more people
• I know that the days of the dishonest sales-person (who'll even lie to get a sale) are gone. I'm interested in authentic, effective selling

// Selling your solutions helps your clients / customers solve their problems: without the product or service to help them, our customers/ clients don't get the change they seek

// A year from now you'll be glad you started today" How do you want your business/ department or career to look like come September 2026 ? Come and learn with like-minded professionals who want to enhance how they influence, sell and make an impact in the world

What will you learn in this fresh, interactive & insightful session?

Using fun exercises and teaching by Coach Cece, you will learn how to:

• deepen your understanding of what selling & influencing actually are - so that you can be better prepared to sell
• better understand what makes others open to being influenced by you, and thus buy your ideas, products / services
• organise your thinking & your communication so that you share your offer compellingly - whether verbally or written
• get clarity on the deeper problems your products/ services really solve (it's often not what you think) - and thus sell more effectively
• handle rejection (getting a "no") and keep moving forward with confidence
• how to be resilient, enjoy sales and influencing no matter how many rejections you get
• deeply understand how succesfully selling solves problems - and that's what makes sales fun and essential
