Sales EQ

Leverage sales-specific emotional intelligence to close the complex deal.

The ultimate guide to sales psychology:

Legions of salespeople are coming face to face with a cold hard truth: What once gave salespeople a competitive edge – controlling the sales process, command of product knowledge, and a great presentation – are no longer guarantees of success.

Likewise, a relentless onslaught of “me-too” competitors has made differentiating on the attributes of products, services, and price more difficult than ever.

Buyers’ expectations have also changed. They expect and demand more from their interactions from sellers than a canned pitch of the company’s marketing brochures. They want a better buying experience.

In this provocative keynote, Jeb builds the case for why the buyer’s emotional experience, while going through the buying journey with the salesperson, has proven to be a more consistent predictor of outcome than any other variable. Then, through engaging stories and illustrations, he demonstrates why sales professionals who’ve developed high sales-specific emotional intelligence (Sales EQ) consistently outperform their peers.

In this message Jeb walks the audience through important lessons including:

• The key elements of high sales EQ.
• Why emotional discipline is at the heart of sales success and how to manage the seven disruptive emotions that derail salespeople.
• How to answer each buyer’s five most important questions so that it becomes nearly impossible for them to say no.
• The neuroscience of influence, gaining control of sales conversations, and advancing opportunities through the pipeline.
• How to compel buyers to lean in, grab their attention, and keep them engaged.

Expected outcomes:

This entertaining and educational keynote takes your audience on a fascinating journey into the new psychology of sales and the real science behind influence, persuasion, and shaping buying decisions. They’ll learn the secrets to building deep relationships, keeping stakeholders engaged, and separating themselves from competitors by delivering a legendary buying experience.

The relentless pursuit of yes

The keys to breaking through rejection & sealing the deal.

Turn fear of rejection into persistence that pays:

For as long as salespeople have been asking buyers to make commitments, buyers have been throwing out objections. And, for as long as buyers have been saying no, salespeople have yearned for the secrets to avoiding the inevitable rejection.

But there is no avoiding rejection in sales. To be successful, sales professionals must learn to face rejection, effectively handle objections, and keep moving.

In his signature right-to-the-point style, Jeb comes right out of the box to address the truth about rejection: We fear it more than death; and, unchecked, the fear of rejection can become a debilitating demotivator for sales professionals that leads to failure. Yet, the fear of rejection isn’t an irrational psychological disorder. Instead, it’s a natural human reaction based in neuroscience.

Then, he deftly leverages “edge-of-your-seat” stories of persistence and overcoming gut-wrenching emotional obstacles, to give the audience the keys to pushing through fear, becoming rejection proof, and developing an unstoppable mindset.

Finally, through live audience interaction he demonstrates how combining this new awareness with proven objection turn-around frameworks and techniques, salespeople can rise above their disruptive emotions and easily turn NO into YES.

The audience will learn a new psychology for turning-around objections and techniques that work with today’s more informed, in control, and skeptical buyers gaining deep insight into:
