KEYNOTE SPEAKER

Daniel Pink

To Sell Is Human: The New ABCs of Moving Others

Best-selling author Daniel Pink recognizes that the approach to selling has changed over the last 10 years because today, buyers have just as much information as sellers, ample choices and the means to talk back. In this entertaining and provocative presentation, Pink, the author of To Sell Is Human, will draw on cutting-edge social science and best practices from organizations around the world to reveal the new A, B, Cs of selling. Attunement: taking another perspective; Buoyancy: staying afloat in an ocean of rejection; and Clarity: identifying hidden problems and making sense of murky situations. Above all, Pink will clearly explain how you can employ modern tactics to enliven your selling skills and transform your business.
