Grow Your Influence and Impact By Adding “Sales” to Your Toolkit◢
Overview
Many HR professionals are uncomfortable with the word sales because it conjures up uncomfortable feelings of manipulation and dishonesty. HR needs to get comfortable – sales in not bad!
Matter of fact most CEOs still come from Finance or Sales for a reason. It’s more than just their ability to track the money and make the money, it’s about their ability to sell change, opportunity and initiatives internally.
Find the right message and the right way to spread it so that it motivates others to “buy” what you are selling.
First, you are ALWAYS selling yourself and your expertise. The “sales” you are doing can be used with applicants applying for positions, to finance new benefits for employees and your budget requests, and to the c-suite toward your HR initiatives.
This program will aid participants in:
• Getting comfortable with your inner salesperson – you must be able to sell yourself.
• Getting you to understand your audience and how to improve your communication with them
• Learning techniques like “push and pull” and when to use them in your persuasion and messaging activities
