Mastering Tough Conversations
What conversations have you been avoiding?Just the thought of broaching certain topics can be enough to bring on a spontaneous stomachache and palms so sweaty you’ll be glad shaking hands went out of style.
Sometimes saying what’s on your mind is easier said than done. Where do you start, and what direction should you take the conversation? How do you prepare, and how do you know when you’ve gone too far?
Learning Objectives:
- Identifying when tough conversations need to happen.
- Identifying cognitive biases that impact how information is perceived.
- Knowing how and when to end a conversation.
- Identifying personality types and leveraging the best strategy.
Sales Success:
Owning the Why, Nailing the When
Mastering discovery, urgency, and your unique edge to close more deals, more consistently.
Sales success isn’t just about knowing your product — it’s about knowing your buyer, your value, and your personal selling style. In today’s fast-paced landscape, too many deals stall because reps hesitate to ask tough questions, create urgency, or confidently ask for the business. This keynote is designed to change that.
Through a blend of relatable stories, tactical tools, and interactive insights, this session will challenge sellers to level up how they discover, communicate, and close. Whether your team is filled with relationship builders, business consultants, or hybrid sellers, they’ll leave with practical strategies they can apply the very next day.
Learning Objectives:
- Go deeper in discovery — Uncover the buyer’s real “why” to drive urgency and momentum throughout the deal.
- Ask for the business (with confidence) — Overcome fear-based hesitation and master the timing and tone of closing.
- Sell beyond features — Elevate conversations from functionality to impact using the “ladder of abstraction” framework.
- Bridge fluency and credibility — Learn to win trust with both individual champions and decision-making groups.
- Stay accountable, stay consistent — Build daily habits and time rhythms that keep the pipeline full and performance steady.
