Event Details
“Handling the Haters”
Audience: Anyone who deals with customers, co-workers, employees and bosses that may be difficult at times
We all have to deal with difficult people and whether, you are dealing with a difficult resident, co-worker, employee or boss, handling your hater without losing your cool (or your job) can be a serious challenge. In “Handling the Haters”, Katie uses examples from pop culture to provide attendees with the tools necessary to respond professionally and effectively to difficult people. Attendees will leave with:
• The 7 steps to handling any hater
• A better understanding of the three types of haters and what sets them off
• Methods for handling the three types of haters that appear as residents, co-workers, employees and bosses
• Suggested words and phrases to help turn conversations around.
“Sensory Sales: Making the Sale without Saying a Word”
Audience: Anyone in a sales position (includes vendors!)
You may have heard that first impressions are made in the first seven seconds of meeting someone, however studies have shown that one tenth of a second is actually more accurate. While the use of technology has made reaching the masses a more achievable feat, the personal connection that is needed to close a sale can sometimes be lost. If you want your customers to be ready to buy in the blink of an eye, join Katie in this interactive session where attendees will learn how to impact a customer's buying potential by appealing to the 5 senses. As the saying goes, "You only have one chance to make a first impression”, make your first impression matter by:
• Understanding the effects that non-verbal communication and appealing to the 5 senses has on your sale.
• Recognizing obstacles you may have in place that inadvertently deter buyers.
• Learning small things that you can do to create a connection and help close the sale in seconds!
