When a salesperson has mastered these three roles—warfare strategist, professional persuader, and common-sense sage--he has attained Heavy Hitter Sales Wisdom
Whether speaking about sales warfare strategies, secrets of persuasion, or common sense selling, Steve Martin is both provocative and entertaining. Steve is the perfect opening keynote speaker to establish the tone for your sales kickoff or closing inspirational speaker to end your meeting on a high note.
Steve also offers another truly unique sales kickoff experience called "Tales from the Field." Tales from the Field is similar to a roundtable talk show where key salespeople are interviewed about their major wins and losses. However, this session goes far beyond discussing sales strategies and tactics. Steve elicits the psychological and intuitive aspects of selling and translates the common sales themes into models the entire sales organization can understand and emulate.
