How to Develop Your Charisma as a Leader.
What impact could you have on your employees or colleagues if you decided to unleash your TRUE charisma? How would it feel to be in command of such influence? Can you imagine just how much this would enhance your leadership influence and other areas of your life? As an applied behavioral scientist and human relationships expert, Dr. Tony Alessandra has spent his career studying the different ways people interact with each other. His research (in his Charisma book) revealed several specific qualities charismatic people demonstrate. These “magical” qualities are present in everyone to varying degrees. The people we think have a lot of charisma have just developed their qualities to a higher level than most. In this program, Dr. Alessandra uses his research to create a simple, yet powerful, system to help you strengthen your charisma and become a more effective leader.
Communication Skills, The Platinum Rule: Relationship Strategies for Building Customer and Employee Loyalty.
Most of us never figure people out. We just ricochet through life, getting along with some people and dealing as little as possible with others because they're so different from us. In this HIGHLY entertaining and insightful program, Tony Alessandra shows you how to practice The Platinum Rule: "Do unto others as THEY would like done unto THEM!" Once you understand and master The Platinum Rule, you'll be able to build bridges to people of any style in any business or personal situation. The Platinum Rule content is practical... accurate... and immediately useable.
Here's what you'll learn:
How to spot the clues that help you "read" other people and accurately determine their behavioral style.
What makes people tick, their strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes.
How to practice adaptability-changing your strategy and/or approach based on the situation or the person whom you're dealing with.
Collaborative Selling How to Gain the Competitive Advantage in Selling
Selling today has evolved from a transactional, one-shot sale mentality to building lifetime customer relationships; from persuading and telling to problem solving and helping; from low-price selling to value-added selling. In this interactive session, Tony shows your sales and service reps how to become a solution consultant by focusing more on studying customer needs and assuring customer satisfaction than on pitching product features. Some of the guiding philosophies of this program include:
- Prescription before diagnosis...is malpractice
- People dont buy because theyre made to understand, they buy because they feel understood
- Professional are defined not by the business theyre in, but by the way theyre in business
- When two people want to do business together, they wont let the details stand in the way
- The sale begins when the customer says Yes
