August 23, 2007Special Guest Speaker: Ed Oberhofer of True Path Center Topic: The Law of Detachment: How to Get More by Letting Go Details: “Give a man a fish, and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish, and you feed him for life.” So the proverb says. The proverb’s author clearly implies that teaching a skill creates self reliance, which is the greatest gift of charity of all. Yet, as any fisherman will tell you, fishing can be a risky venture with uncertain results. Did the author favor uncertainty too? And didn’t someone also write that “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush?” Is this a contradiction? Be it birds or fish or any business goal which you desire, come join Ed in sorting it all out. Ed is a graduate of the Coaches Training Institute and the Co-Active Space Leadership Program and a Certified Chopra Center Primordial Sound Meditation Teacher. Ed values peace, harmony, affluence and abundance in his own life, and he is excited to be fully engaged in helping others build a grounded basis for prosperity in their lives.

Topic: “Telling Ain’t Selling: The Power of Questions." Details: Most sales people see a client and begin to talk immediately about their product or service. But the field of sales has experienced some dramatic and far-reaching changes over recent years. If you haven’t already heard, telling ain’t selling. Instead, questions have amazing power. They demand answers. When a question is asked the brain turns on and begins to try and answer it. Questions can transform our business lives in the area of sales. When questions are correctly used, the client does not feel grilled by the salesperson; the client feels he is being taken care of by a friend, a consultant—a person who cares, someone who genuinely wants to solve his problems. Success in the world of sales depends on your ability to reinvent yourself and your processes and apply them for improved results consistent to your customer’s needs. The person asking the questions is the person in control. Attend this session for a short overview on how the use of questions can put you in control during the sales process. If you are responsible for sales in your organization, or if you have people who are new at sales or struggling with sales—Join Sequetta to hear how things can be turned around. |
