Sales Trainer: The Unfair Advantage--Sell with NLP!

Sell with NLP! workshops

(Human Resources industry)

June 1979 — Present (30 years 7 months)

I provide 1-, 2-, and 3-day workshops for selling professionals on how to sell YOU!! Using the techniques from Neurolinguistic Programming (NLP), people can greatly increase their ability to get others to trust them and to influence the choices others make. This program can completely change how you look at the sales process.It will improve direct selling, team selling, phone selling, direct mail response, web activity, and even advertising results. The program was the basis for the top-selling book, The Unfair Advantage: Sell with NLP! which is available in four languages and in audiobook format. A DVD set of the workshop is also available. For more information, look at my website: www.nlp4biz.com or call 630-871-2996 if you want The Unfair Advantage for your sales force.
