Chief Marketing Officer – Founder

CEOWORLD magazine

I write columns for CEOWORLD magazine focused on content strategy, relationship sales process, and social industry trends, and thought leadership.

Opinion Columnist

Paige Technologies

I have partnered with Paige technologies because of this paragraph on their corporate page: 
"We, at Paige, grew restless with a one-dimensional 'commodity' staffing approach - where success was defined by a number of skill matches. We knew there had to be a better way. We knew success was more than the match of a job to a skill - people have a lot more to give and companies deserve the whole person. We wanted to go beyond the match. We wanted to pair a person with an organization based on 'dimensional compatibility' - the skill, the values, the work habits, and the personality."

Many people have found themselves in the position of needing work. Paige focuses on the relationship side of the business and together, it will be our mission to fill every position in Kansas City, while providing value to every candidate we have the opportunity to meet. 

If you are looking for a job in the technology industry or maybe looking at some point connect with one of our industry experts today!

If you can make them laugh, you’ve won them over
 
Easier said than done in sales right?
 
And you probably already know that when you start your sales presentation, you have to find a way to instantly connect with the audience, before you get to business, right?
 
But how do you do it?
 
Talking about the weather, their company, yeah, that’s what most salespeople do.
 
But that won’t give you a genuine connection
 
But what if there was a way to get your audience (Prospects) to smile, to laugh, to open up
 
You’d bring their walls down, they’d realize your not just a salesperson, you are another human being just like them and now you are sharing a moment together
 
Smiling 😃 laughing 🤣 
 
Now you’re really in a position to win over your audience, create influence, and close that deal!!
 
Now at this point, you might be thinking, yeah, that sounds great, but how do I do that?
 
Crack a random joke?  What if it bombs?
 
Poke fun at something you see in the room, that could be risky too
 
Or you could not say anything, and just get into the sales conversation, but now there's 0 human connection so you’ll face resistance 
 
This is exactly where we come in!

Using humor to accomplish sales goals.

Reducing resistance and creating connection and influence through smartly used humor in presentations.

Life is Friggen Hard! 

Is friggen an official swearword...I'm sure it hopes to be one day.

Everyday we're all walking into a headwind of responsibities, worries and hopes & dreams. 

Your first job as a presenter is to make your audience relax.

And smile. 

When they're feeling good they can breathe and receive what you have to say. 

Any great humor you put in front of them that makes them smile will be very much appreciated I promise. 

Hey, I've got an idea.

Share this cartoon. 🙂 ❤️

I put this sign in a frame and took it to my gym. 

It made everyone at the front desk smile.

I told them I made it as a gift for them. 

They were so pleased they put it on display.

Now when guests come to the gym they see the gym has a sense of humor about taking care of ourselves. 

When we laugh at something our resistance to it is reduced. 

That's why when you make your audience smile or laugh during your presentation their restance to you and your ideas are reduced. 

This is especially helpful in a sales presentation when you want your audience's resistance to head towards zero. 

Gyms are full of resistance machines to make us stronger. 

The great news is great humor reduces resistance....and makes our message stronger too. 🏋‍♀️ 📈

These insane phones. 

As babies 👶 we all had a pacifier in our mouths for our first year. 

Now we have a phone 📱 in our face all day long.   

Whether we're speaking to a group of people, a classroom, or one on one, these phones have become the #1 distraction we all face. 

We've never witnessed in real time an obsession like this take over our life and everyone’s lives all around us.

If you're a presenter you have to deliver more feel good dopamine than people's phones do. 

Otherwise they'll start craving their phone's dopamine rush. 

This is one of the most useful benefits of the world's first curated cartoon search engine I built so that you have lots of delicious dopamine to consider adding to your presentation to counter people's #1 dopamine dealer.📱

Here is an 8 cartoon sampler to whet your dopamine appetite.  https://lnkd.in/g7Hm6kyn

Offering better dopamine than what's on people's phone is the ticket 🎫 to their full attention and a presentation win! 🙂

It's Funny Friday! 😅 

Why not treat yourself out to dinner tonight? 🥘 

Sure it's more fun to have dinner for two. 🧡 

But sometimes it's just a party of one. 🤗 

Enjoy your night out. 😅

Maybe nix the Hawaiian Shirt. 🏖️
