Building an Innovation Culture with The Influence Maze -Basic Sales Skills for Non-Sellers
Every young engineer and innovator has experienced the frustration of having a GREAT idea, well researched, timely, commercially viable, and obvious...taking their idea to a "decision" meeting only to be met with questions, skepticism, and no decision. They leave the meeting scratching their heads, frustrated "How could they not GET IT?".
You've invested in recruiting these engineers, especially diverse engineers, and you want them to bring the ideas and advance to fill your leadership pipeline.
Linda brings credibility as a motivational speaker, having sold multi-million dollar deals within large, technical, and industrial corporations. None of these innovators may WANT to be a salesperson...but everyone needs to learn the basic sales skills to sell themselves and their ideas.
Your innovators will learn the skills to identify who is in their influence maze, how to navigate the meetings before the big meeting, and build their personal influence in the process. Your innovators will leave with tools and a call to action to accelerate their path to leadership and drive new innovation.
Duration from 30 minutes to 1 hour.
