Course Description:Influencing Skills
Overview:
Selling can be defined as influencing people to make decisions in our favor. Sounds simple enough. But the reality is we are all different. No two people respond in exactly the same way to external stimuli. However we each display characteristics, which, if carefully observed, can give others insight in to what we might be most responsive to. This course is designed to help you make those observations and then give guidance towards the actions that will help you positively influence the outcome you are aiming for.
