No Human Connection = No Prospect - New Effective Prospecting Sales Workshop

No longer is effective prospecting just a numbers game. After 30 years of training sales people, we now know that developing connections is actually teachable, explains Mike Bosworth, Best Selling Business Author of the books Solution Selling and CustomerCentric Selling.

MINNEAPOLIS--(EON: Enhanced Online News)--Discover how to form a "human" connection, inspire and influence the people you wish to do business with through our StoryLeaders™ sales workshop.

StoryLeaders™ is a research-based framework designed to enable sales people to sell with greater confidence, effectiveness and purpose, by breaking down the human barriers that buyers instinctually raise. The framework harnesses the power of two of the most intrinsic, yet underdeveloped, communication forms: storytelling and active listening, explains Mike Bosworth.

Facilitated by certified StoryLeaders™ Instructors, effective prospecting sales workshops are interactive, practical, experiential, and feedback-oriented. The workshop is broken into lecture, practice, coaching, and real life case study exercises. At the end of an effective prospecting workshop, attendees will understand:

• The Barriers buyers put up, and why.

• The pathway around those Barriers.

• The psychology of how buyers make decisions over time.

• How to consciously activate the part of the buyer’s mind where hope, trust, imagination and new ideas are formed, while relaxing the skeptical side of the mind.

• How to share information through four basic types of stories: Who I Am, Who I Represent, Who I Have Helped, and My Buyer’s Story.

• How to, through practice, gain the skills necessary to share stories authentically, passionately, and form human connections.

• How to encourage a buyer to share their story and be open to new ideas using an Active Listening formula.

• How to create interest and curiosity with new sales opportunities during effective prospecting.
