Sell Like a Spy
Keynote Speaking and Sales Training Inspired by the World of Espionage
Spies are not who you think they are. While TV shows and movies like to feature spies in car chases and gun fights, the reality is that they are experts in developing relationships. Spies cultivate and influence people from a huge array of backgrounds and there are incredible lessons that can be utilized in our careers and everyday life drawn from how they employ these skills.
Sell Like a Spy offers communication strategies and spy tactics to help you and your team connect quicker and more deeply. Cross-fertilizing experiences and approaches from the world of sales and espionage offers a chance to utilize outside-the-box methods that can unlock creativity and motivate teams to pursue their sales targets more efficiently. Techniques from the world of the FBI, Secret Service, military special forces, and other government agencies provide additional critical insights into how to unlock creativity and motivate teams to more efficiently pursue their sales targets and help corporate executives to communicate better.
Business Development Lessons & Communications Strategies
I’ve sat through many sales trainings while working in business development roles at some of the world’s most well-known consulting firms and media organizations. While I occasionally found an insight or method that was helpful, in large part I found the methodologies to be formulaic and that the curriculums lacked dynamism.
I created Sell Like a Spy because I wanted to offer salespeople the strategies and skills I picked up working directly with intelligence officers. The program is fun and unique, and salespeople will take away outside the box ideas that can inspire them and disrupt formulaic approaches to business.
Sell Like a Spy is not just for salespeople! These are distinctive communication strategies that anyone can benefit from. I speak to a wide range of audiences and always customize the presentation for whatever group I’m speaking to so I encourage you to contact me for a special session that will leave you more knowledgeable about how to connect with people.
