  Managers' Toolbox

 Back by popular demand!

Speaker:

Shane Gibson, President (North America), Knowledge Brokers International Systems Ltd.

Topic:

SELLING AND SUCCEEDING IN TURBULENT ECONOMIC TIMES

Many sales professionals and entrepreneurs are concerned about how they are going to weather today's global financial storm. The rules of the game have changed with the meltdown in the banking sector, along with globalization and the introduction of disruptive technologies to almost every industry.

Succeeding in turbulent economic times is about proactively taking control of our own personal economy. Shane Gibson, president of Knowledge Brokers International, will share with you strategies to succeed in any economic condition. Fortunes have been made during times of change and economic downturn; sales people and entrepreneurs must develop a tool kit to help us adapt to and succeed in this ever-changing environment.

It's not what happens that defines an event; it's how we respond to it that matters. This fast-paced session will give attendees the tools, insight and strategies needed to respond to today's marketplace conditions. You will also learn:

• How to develop and fine-tune your sales process for any environment;
• Why the best time to gain market share is in turbulent times;
• The power of community and connecting;
• How to use technology to reduce your marketing and sales costs;
• How and why to swim against economic tides and trends;
• Tips and steps to maintaining sanity and focus in tough times.
