Dale Carnegie Training of Central Alabama and The Birmingham Business Journal Team Up to Present a Brand New Workshop for Sales People
Birmingham, Alabama (PRWEB) May 23, 2016 -- The Birmingham Business Journal and Dale Carnegie of Central Alabama have joined forces to bring a new workshop to the Birmingham Business community. The Power of Storytelling - Because the best story always wins!, will be presented by Dale Carnegie of Central Alabama president, Nancy Covert on June 16.
Salespeople are tasked with the responsibility of differentiating themselves from the competition. This is becoming increasingly challenging in today’s crowded market. One often overlooked way to stand out from the crowd is by harnessing the power of storytelling. In this new, half-day seminar from Dale Carnegie Training, salespeople will learn to think outside the box in communications with buyers.
Humans are biologically programmed to pay close attention to information in the form of stories, which makes them an especially powerful sales tool. This means they are a great way to capture buyers' attention, boost retention, activate emotions, and increase customer engagement.
Participants will learn techniques for creating two types of sales stories and when to use them for maximum impact. Attendees will refine the content of their stories, practicing the delivery with confidence and bringing mundane facts and figures to life. They’ll learn where to find content ideas for their sales story, and will begin to see inspiration every day. About this workshop, Nancy Covert says, "This is a hands-on seminar that guides you from start to finish. You'll be able to engage buyers in a unique and unexpected way."
Participants will learn how to:
-Identify situations where sales stories are appropriate
-Use a proven technique for telling effective sales stories
