When you are typing, tweeting or texting, how persuasive are you?
As a salesperson, you are obviously great at communicating in person, so what is it about having a screen that makes it so challenging to achieve clear communication? How can you translate how you really are in an authentic way so that it’s reflected behind the screen? And when you have a screen blocking what makes you so effective at what you do, how can you ensure that you are being heard?
These are likely just some of the countless questions you—as a sales professional—have contemplated as you try to connect with potential customers online.
Meet Erin Gargan, CEO of Socialite Agency, an award-winning social media firm, and one of the featured Game Changers keynote speakers at the upcoming NAHB International Builders’ Show™ (IBS). She understands what’s at stake when you are able to figure out how to communicate authentically online, because she’s lived it. She discovered a pattern that improved her ability to influence from behind the screen forever, and with that shift she was able to take her business from survival mode to having big names like Hitachi, ABC-Disney and The Oscars as clients.
Erin will present her digital persuasion insights at one of the Game Changers keynote presentations at this year’s Builders’ Show. Here’s what you can expect from her session.
