Becoming Preferred: Nine Triggers to Booking the Business
We all persuade every day. In our personal and professional lives, our ability to influence or be influenced can have a significant impact on us. Effective persuasion requires an understanding of the true needs of the person we are persuading. Understanding the client’s criteria for action and presenting information or solutions in a way that is congruent with their desires will activate the brain’s internal triggers for making decisions and improve your sales effectiveness. Persuasion & Influence is more of a science than it is an art. It is a process, not an event.

In this entertaining and informative presentation, Michael will share with you the Persuasion model and the steps to build your strategy on. He will also identify and show you how to employ the nine emotional triggers that clients use to make their purchasing and investment decisions.
