SpeCiAl Keynote

Dr MarC DuSSault - “Antimimeticisomorphism”Dr Dussault is an award-winning author, recipient of several marketing awards, an entrepreneur of the Year Award finalist, a serial entrepreneur and an accomplished business executive with experience in North America, europe and Asia pacific. Over the past 25 years, Dr Dussault has leveraged his 5 university degrees in engineering, business, corporate governance and law to mentor hundreds of entrepreneurs as an exponential growth strategist to unshackle them from their day-to-day operations, catapult their success to achieve personal and financial freedom. in this day and age, every business is searching for that special ‘edge’ to stay one step ahead of the competition to either reach or maintain market leadership status. this engaging, thought-provoking keynote will launch the conference by challenging your existing perspective and shift your thinking – antimimeticisomorphically.

“antimimeticisomorphism” simply means having fun, doing out-of-the-ordinary things that create extra-ordinary results with the least amount of effort and lowest cost.

www.learnx.net/salessummit [email protected] Ph +612 9688 6576The Sales Impact Summit is Australia’s #1 event

delivering 9 remarkable headline sessions devoted to excellence in Sales, Marketing and Business Development.

Here’s a snapshot of the terrific line up of presenters.

Is Relationship Selling Dead?

recent theories have suggested the relationship approach is dying. in a complex business to business environment, there are many layers to purchasing decisions. Building trust is a key element in developing long term win/win relationships with your clients. So is relationship Selling dead? What value can it play in today’s business world? And how does relationship-based selling differ from transactional selling?

Stop Selling and Start Building trust

Find out why displaying “over the top” enthusiasm and trying hard to convince prospects to buy actually pushes them away. in this session learn why traditional sales methods no longer work in an ever crowded and competitive marketplace and what you can do to drastically set yourself apart from your competition.

Discover how buyers control the sales process and why trust is now tHe most important component of the selling equation - far more important than the price, the features and benefits of your product and service and building the “relationship”. You will find out what the top sales performers do differently from the rest to consistently reach and exceed their sales targets.

JulIan FEnWICk CEO GRC Solutions

Speaking their language

the practical application of psychology to persuade and influence people.

Almost every book written about marketing and sales tells us that we have to communicate effectively with our customers. unfortunately, as we all know, many of the strategies being proposed to achieve this objective can be quite superficial, and are not practical in the real world.

You will learn a truly effective and easy-to-apply approach, which ensures that your marketing and sales message is genuinely understandable and influential. this approach is based on detailed research into the way the human mind processes information. these techniques therefore work at a fundamental level, and can be applied to any form of communication.

phIl lee MD, Peak Performance Training and Sandler Training

the calm Blue ocean

tired of being in competitive sales situations where your prospect is controlling the total sales process?

Feeling pressure to deliver more, reduce your price and provide a tight implementation plan?

leave these difficult prospects to your competitors- and find the real opportunities in the Calm Blue Ocean. in the Blue Ocean the following can happen in your sales cycle. You gain access to C level decision makers. You have business based discussions around the prospects needs. the prospect shares their buying vision which is aligned to your offerings. the value proposition has been agreed, positioning your investment schedule as a compelling reason to get started. A strong relationship between buyer and seller that supports a “give/get” mentality.
