Sales is typically thought of as a masculine discipline, and yet, we all need to know how to sell.  Whether that's selling your idea to a group, selling your candidacy for a new job or promotion, or selling a new idea to a board of directors, there are principles that the best sales professionals use that can be adapted with success by those in non-sales roles.  In this session, you will learn the basics of building a relationship to sell, using data to uncover rather than hard sell, and how to present with power in your sales situation.
