Indy Chamber

Breakthrough Selling
2023-08-28 11:30 - 13:00 (America/Indiana/Indianapolis) | Items
Are you on the hunt for sustained sales momentum? If you answered yes, then we have just the training for you! Join the Indy Chamber and Trustpointe for lunch and an opportunity to improve processes, personal performance, and results to become the high-achieving sales professional you’ve been striving to be.
AUGUST TOPIC: People Are Like Books—They’re Readable
Face language is more important than body language. “Reading the situation” is a critical sales competency. Far too many salespeople come up short in the category. In this Breakthrough session, the Trustpointe team will demonstrate how they read situations and people. You’ll leave much more mindful of the concept of face language and what you can do with it in your next face-to-face or Zoom call. The results are powerful – you’ll develop rapport much more quickly and have the ability to challenge, or gain clarity, on facial micro-expressions.
If your prospects ghost you or stretch the selling cycle out, there’s a solid chance that you’re not reading the situation as well as you could. You’ll laugh, learn, and read more during this one!

ChatGPT can amplify your sales intelligence in real-time.

In this Breakthrough Selling session, Team Trustpointe will share best practices from the global Sandler community on how AI tools like ChatGPT can give you the equal business stature you need in each meeting. And be sure to bring your GPT best practices to share!
