Today's salespeople are being methodically trained to adopt an "order taking" mentality in business and the repercussions are staggering. In this motivational and spirited conversation, Rob Jolles not only demonstrates proof that this problem exists, he also provides a repeatable, predictable approach to correct it. If you are looking for a keynote with a message that will address the business realities of today in an informative, entertaining, and most important impactful manner, you'll want to teach your company, "No More Order Taking!"

Surely you know plenty of people who need to make a change, but despite your most well-intentioned efforts, they resist. Why? Because people fundamentally fear change, and Rob Jolles knows this scenario all too well. Drawing on decades of research, he lays out a simple, repeatable, predictable, and ethical process that will enable you to lead others to discover for themselves, what and why they need to change. Whether you hope to make a sale, or improve a relationship, Jolles's wise -- illustrated through a bevy of sometimes funny, sometimes moving, always illuminating stories -- will he you to ensure that changing someone's mind is never an act of coercion but rather one of compassion.

So many of us are taught to seek out needs, offer solutions, and bring in features and benefits! What happened to urgency? Without a sense of urgency, we are left with clients who are obsessed with price and are ultimately ruled by their fear of change. Tracking many of the tactics in Rob's #1 bestselling book, Customer Centered Selling participants are forced to focus away from the products or ideas they are selling and look instead at the way people make decisions and how to influence those behaviors. Audiences learn decision cycles their clients go through, decision points their clients struggle with, and a process to not only defuse price, but gain critical commitments from those they are looking to persuade. In short, participants learn, "The Art of Urgency."

There is simply no other occupation that carries the number of myths that surround the profession of selling. From the way we open to the way we close, so much of what we do is shrouded in mystery. In this presentation, Rob Jolles will not only expose many of these misunderstandings, he will teach critical lessons to keep these myths from affecting sales performance and the culture of your organization.

Tracking concepts from Rob's book, Mental Agility, participants leave with a unique pamphlet aimed at making Mental Agility a learned behavior.
