Keynote with Carolyn Strauss

“I want THAT!” 5 Ways to Make Your and Your Company Irresistible

Wednesday Juyly 24, 8:30 – 9:45 a.m.

Ballroom S100

Sales and persuasion expert Carolyn Strauss knows how to ask buyers desperately want the items she’s selling. In fact, as a premier clothing designer on the Home Shopping Network, she sold over $160 million in merchandise to people who never actually expressed interest in making a purchase.

In this dynamic keynote, Strauss will share 5 secrets she used to move HSN viewers from apathy to action, and how she built incredible rapport that kept them coming back to her company – and to her. You’ll learn how to tap into the part of the brain that makes decisions and how to light a fire inside your clients and prospects, ensuring that every pitch ends with them saying, “I want THAT!”.

Keynote with Ramon Ray

Connect With Your Clients: Staying Human in Today’s Digital World

Thursday, July 25, 8:30 -9:45 a.m.

Everyone craves connections with other people, but in this age of technology innovation, that connection is often reduced to a smiley face in an email, an emoji in a text or a funny video on social media. The trick is for sales pros and business owners to build and maintain human-centered relationships with buyers who they may rarely meet in person.

In this high-energy keynote, entrepreneur and best-selling author Ramon Ray, will show you how to expertly reach and interact with prospects and clients using LinkedIn, smartphones and DMs…without sounding like an AI-generated robot. You’ll discover how to add authenticity, empathy and other human elements into your content and your transactions, and leave no doubt that your team is made up of real people offering real promo solutions.
