How to be an Inspiring Company

Outcome objectives: Attendees will hear the results and insights from Terry's 2010 survey on Most Inspiring Companies where over 1700 people participated recently published in Forbes. Terry outlines the seven building blocks every Most Inspiring Company uses to inspire and ignite employee and customer engagement.

Format: This is a large group presentation where the top 10 Most Inspiring Companies in America are contrasted with companies with more brand recognition but a much lower inspiration factor.  The findings are counter-intuitive and clearly reveal what it takes to be an inspiring company in the days to come.  Example, respondents considered the inspiration factor for the top three Most Inspiring Companies equal to that of the American Red Cross.

Inspired Selling

Outcome objectives: Attendees will learn to use,

- authenticity to disarm customers

- affirmation for making the sales approach customer-centric

- vision to drive high perceived value

- integrity to create congruency between the sales experience, the brand, the price, and the value

- story to connect with the heart and soul of the customer

- evangelism to enlist customer-champions into your mission

Format: Large group or small group works for this material.  Breakout material is available to help facilitate ongoing discussion, coaching, and training.  This is not your typical ABC (always be closing) kind of sales training.  This approach forces the sales consultant to be a listener, to think quick on the feet, and most importantly, to tap right into the dreams and desires of customers/clients and align those dreams and desires with your product/service.
