Communication skills for sales representative is the core quality that’s going to make his or her career or break it.

Consultative selling is a need-satisfaction presentation format that focuses on problem identification, where the salesperson serves as an expert on problem recognition and resolution.
Most companies only consider their customers rational behavior, however, the key to successful value-based selling is understanding the difference between what people say they want – their explicit wants, such as lower prices - and what they are implicitly asking for, which could be recognition that they’re important, want genuine dialogue and feel the need to be taken seriously. Emotional understanding goes beyond the obvious explicit requests.
The value that customers perceive they are getting from your company therefore depends not only on their rational analysis of the product or service but also on their emotional response (“How will this make me feel?”) and their social response (“How will it make me look?” - “What will others think of me?”).

CTO Universe Leadership Series: The Six Principles of PersuasionBrittanyShear
As senior tech leaders, we often fall prey to thinking that a “good idea” and logical case is sufficient to get the desired response and result. We might be trying to get our CEO on-board with investment in a new technology or a rearchitecture effort, or we might want culture or process changes by our team. Our “good idea” is simply the beginning. An idea must be communicated; a case must be made; and ultimately other people must be persuaded to get onboard.
Michael Carducci brings a fascinating background to this webinar. He’s a technologist and regularly works to help senior leaders improve their results. He’s also a professional mentalist and has been a student of psychology, human behavior and the principles of influence for nearly two decades.
