Lisa’s way of selling was radically different than everyone else
Lisa never considered herself a salesperson even though she spent 15 years in sales and marketing at a large pharmaceutical company. She didn’t realize that her way of selling was so radically different than everyone else, but once she did she began to show others within her company how they could improve their sales skills without feeling sleazy.
Lisa’s career journey came full circle when she left the corporate world to strike out on her own. She recognized that her zone of excellence was teaching others how to move away from traditional sales techniques and work from a place of authenticity.
Lisa teaches how to sell from a place of authenticity
Lisa’s goes beyond sales training. She leverages a diagnostic tool called Soul Language to show innovative business leaders how they can get to the core of who they are and learn to approach selling from within their comfort zone. She knows that solopreneurs must find a way to share their buy-in by communicating in the most authentic way they can. Lisa takes away slimy sales tactics and shows people how selling is simply an act of communication.
Even those that dislike selling begin to understand that sales is a conversation, not a presentation. When you take the pressure off yourself and realize that you don’t have to know all the right things to say to your customer, then you can truly connect with them and learn how to respond to their needs.
