Stop Selling You're Making it Weird

Why People Hate Sales & How to Become Ridiculously Good at It Anyways

Registration begins at: 11:45 am EST (lunch provided with registration)  |   Program begins promptly at 12 PM

Speaker: Lesley Hobbs, Children's Hope Alliance

This fast-paced, interactive workshop is for business owners, salespeople, nonprofit leaders, and anyone who has ever had to convince someone to say yes.

We will explore the psychology behind why people buy, what makes them put their guard up, and the simple behaviors that separate average salespeople from great ones.

You will learn how to:

Understand what is really happening in your buyer’s brain.

Ask better questions that uncover the real problem.

Know when to talk and when to embrace the power of silence.

Spot sales behaviors that make people want to run.

Follow up without becoming a stalker.

Make the ask with confidence.

Learn from lost deals and identify where things went sideways.

Build a sales process that feels authentic and gets results.

Expect real-world examples, uncomfortable truths, ridiculous stories, audience participation, and practical tools you can use immediately. You might even discover that what is standing between you and your next sale is not your price, competition, or leads. It might be you.
