THEME: STORYSELLING FOR SALES
MESSAGE: Stop Selling Widgets. Start Selling Wisdom.
The days of Caveat Emptor (let the buyer beware) are over. Caveat Venditor (let the seller beware) is the new mantra.
The resounding question, therefore, becomes – ‘How do I not only get my foot in the door today, but turn those doors into dollars?’
Certainly not with the stereotypical solution seller approach of the 1980’s.
It’s time to shift the narrative, sell change and become more relevant so that our buyers can experience true transformational engagements and everyone is a winner.
StorySelling is not storytelling.
This portmanteau of two very powerful words, Story and Selling, has been leveraged specifically for the sales function and brings a never-before heard approach to selling in today’s post pandemic and very competitive world.

THEME: INSPIRED LEADERSHIP
MESSAGE: THE BLESSINGS OF BANKRUPTCY
We are in unprecedented times.
Sales organisations are failing to hit their numbers. Supply chain issues are causing business to fail. Stress and burnout is an epidemic and a pandemic has shifted the axis of humanity.
One thing remains constant – Change!
And with change comes uncertainty and fear. Failure to address these two factors seriously and in the right way will cause even more uncertainty and fear leading to a downward spiral impacting individuals to institutions.
However, there is an alternative way to view disruption today, and into the future. But to do that you need a mindset steeped in resilience, resourcefulness, and faith.
Join Sales Leadership and Mindset expert, Bernadette McClelland, as she shares her own up and down journey from Platinum Card to Welfare Card and then Green Card and how our purpose is not just to commercially survive, but to consciously thrive.
Bernadette’s style is engaging, humorous and always has practical ideas and quality collateral.

THE WHY BEHIND THIS KEYNOTE SPEAKER'S PATH

I won’t talk about Bernadette’s great speaking skills. Those are obvious. I’ll choose to talk about how she made such an impact in me, that even 10 days past her speech I still reflect on it daily.
If you’re looking for a public speaker, they’re a dime a dozen. Bernadette’s key difference is that she REALLY cares and goes the extra mile to deliver content and advice that makes a difference.
Thanks for your work with us @ AA-ISP Portugal and also for the impact you made in my own life.

Keynote Speaker Bernadette McClelland was definitely one of the best speakers at the Sales and Marketing Expo in Los Angeles. She shared her experience of how to get to the “Yes” without trying by accessing the emotional side of the customer through storytelling. Once you can access the emotions of the customer, rather than explaining by logic, you can easily sway them to them saying yes to whatever you’re selling. Be a storytelling company and sell the change and you will be successful. Thank you for an awesome presentation!
