From Artificial to Authentic
We’re in a race—a veritable sprint toward AI, the gold rush of 2024 and beyond. Everyone is racing to reach this magical place. But if the finish line is a distant, magical destination, let’s be clear on what we’re running from. The word “artificial”—imitation, scam, bogus, fake—stands in stark contrast to what is genuine, natural, honest, and heartfelt. How do we take the best AI has to offer and combine it with the four traits necessary to catapult your revenue growth in an ever-changing market?
Shari doesn’t just offer solutions; she provides a proven framework, a roadmap to sustainable top-line growth in the evolving AI landscape. Her advice transcends mere sales strategy; it encompasses the art of cultivating an adaptive company culture that thrives in the face of technological changes. Her guidance forces companies to more clearly distinguish the knowledge that is useful information from the humanistic knowledge that leaves people wiser and transformed.
AI promises to provide fantastic tools for outsourcing mental work. At the same time, AI will force us humans to double down on those talents and skills that only humans possess. These four keys to bridging the AI Gap include:
Key Takeaways:
For years, companies believed that a great product, solid facts, and testimonials sufficed to drive customer purchasing decisions. However, in today’s world of “fake news,” where fiction often trumps facts, stories prove 22 times more effective in winning the hearts and minds of consumers. Stories transcend the limitations of mere facts and figures, forging deep emotional connections that resonate with audiences on a human level. They simplify complex ideas, making them accessible and memorable, while also engaging and maintaining attention in ways that data alone cannot.
While telling stories is the most effective way to connect and communicate, we often set aside the very communication method we learned, loved, and perfected as children. Even if we have the best product in the marketplace, we will lose to an inferior product if our competitor’s offer is communicated more clearly and emotionally through story.
In this engaging keynote, Shari Levitin, a social media powerhouse with over 180 million views in the last two years, reveals how to harness the power of storytelling to elevate impact and influence. Leveraging her theater background and multimillion-dollar sales training empire, Shari unveils a proven five-step “storyselling” formula designed to boost brand awareness, build trust, address objections, and captivate today’s discerning consumers.
Key Takeaways:
Rehumanize the Sales Process is not just another sales training session. It’s a comprehensive approach that acknowledges the evolving landscape of sales and addresses the need for a balanced integration of technology and human interaction. By choosing this keynote, you are investing in a transformative experience that will empower your sales team to build stronger, more meaningful connections with customers, ultimately driving sales and fostering long-term relationships.
One of the biggest challenges facing sales reps and leaders is the failure to effectively connect, share and listen to our customers. The first generation of smartphone users has experienced a decline in empathy by 40 percent. Attention span has decreased from thirty to eight seconds. Salespeople must create an interest span to combat a lower attention span. The tendency for young people to flee from meaningful conversation results in a loss of rapport and connection. Young reps prefer texting over conversing and emoji’s over debate. This makes objection handling more difficult than ever before.
Our challenge today isn’t accessing information, it’s filtering it. And it’s the same for our customers. There’s so much information it’s become devalued. Alexa has information. Research shows as technology and AI increase empathy decreases, and the very skill needed to build trust with our customers.
