Selling with Integrity: doing good business by doing business good

So much of our sales model is a ‘push’ technique based on finding prospects who will buy. This can this be manipulative and doesn’t follow standards of ethics, win-win, and servant leadership. We are losing sales because we focus more on the sale than on the client. Based on her NYTimes Business Bestseller Selling with Integrity (noted as the break-out book on ethics in business) Sharon Drew will offer several takeaways to promote integrity, relationship, buy-in and trust to differentiate AND close more sales, to make money AND make nice while making sellers real Relationship Managers and consensus builders.

Keynote Topics

Collaborative Listening: hearing others to facilitate communication, creativity, leadership

Conventional models of listening, such as Active Listening, don’t go far enough: they ignore the interpretation aspect of ensuring we hear what others mean to convey. In her ground-breaking work on facilitating communication without bias, misunderstanding, or assumption, Sharon Drew has developed the ability to help us all hear each other so leadership, creativity, management, and all communication

need not be restricted in any way. Let Sharon Drew open your ears and take away simple tools to get rid of unconscious filters and truly communicate.

 

 

Selling Doesn’t Cause Buying

The sales model focuses on solution placement. But a qualified buyer must get buy-in from the status quo (management, old vendor's, company politics) in order to buy. Sharon Drew developed Buying Facilitation® to help sellers avoid losing prospects, chasing inappropriate ones, and avoiding over-long sales cycles. Attendees will learn to differentiate between their sales efforts and how buyers

buy, skills to work effectively with gatekeepers and assemble the Buying Decision Team on the first call. Take away ideas to manage the buying decision path! Design initiatives to facilitate the buy cycle at the talk!

 

 

Why Buyers Can’t Buy [& Sellers Can’t Sell] and What You Can Do About It

A buying decision must include 1. buy-in from everyone who will touch the new solution, 2. consensus from the behind-the-scenes (and non-solution-related) environment of managers, users and the status quo, or buying is delayed regardless of need. Sharon Drew adds new thinking and activities to be a real Relationship Manager by discussing

the steps buyers must address before they can purchase, and how to assemble the full Buying Decision Team so all decision makers are on board quickly. This session is based

on the Amazon bestseller Dirty Little Secrets. Includes Q&A and innovative activities.

Her thinking remains the best selling methodology I've ever seen and used. It has the power to change lives and utterly transform businesses."

Sharon Drew   |   Bringing buying decisions to sales

Sharon Drew is the developer of Buying Facilitation®, the decision facilitation model that gives sales professionals an additional tool kit to help buyers effectively manage their behind-the-scenes issues that affect their buying decision.

 

Sharon Drew is the originator of the focus on helping buyers buy and the buying decision path. Since 1988 she has introduced skill sets to add the ability to facilitate all of the buyer’s internal management issues which are generally hidden from view – efficiently enlisting the full Buying Decision Team, managing the change new solutions bring, getting buy-in – and the sales model does not adequately resolve causing long sales cycles and objections. Would you rather sell or have someone buy? Sharon Drew will make you think.
