Like it or not, we are all in sales. In business and life, the act of selling is inherent. Yet, when we mention that word, people can get squeamish and pull back. What is it about sales that makes us feel that way? In this presentation, Shanna will share how sales are all about connecting and how you can love sales and reap the benefits. In this presentation, you will learn to:
- Focus on building authentic relationships and shifting from a sales-first mindset to a connection-first approach that drives results.
- Equip your leaders and sales teams with the skills to navigate global markets, build strong relationships, and close deals across cultural divides.
No two people are the same, and that’s a good thing! Make diversity your biggest asset through cross-cultural connection and inclusion. Shanna’s unique story on embracing being different and learning to appreciate the differences in others will make your attendees want to share their unique stories. We live in a world where Global Mindset is necessary, and understanding people’s backgrounds strengthens us.
Participants will learn to:
- Conquer stereotypes and create an inclusive environment that brings teams together and promotes a sense of belonging.
- Understand biases and how to bridge the gap and create powerful allies. A shift in mindset from defensive to curious creates a win-win formula.
As women leaders, we face unique challenges in business. However, we are more than capable of high-level performance and, at times, even outperform our male counterparts. Breakthrough stereotypes as you boldly embrace your gifts and your calling! This presentation is ideal for women in a male-driven industry. Conquer self-doubt and the inner voice that challenges you along the way.
Participants will learn to:
- Navigate the challenges of being a woman in a male-dominated field, balance assertiveness with likability, and lead confidently.
