Talk Your Business:
How To Make More and Better Sales Right Away
Speaker: Dick Davies, Sales Lab Incorporated

I'm always an enthusiastic member of Dick Davies' audience. He's an informed, informative, energetic, talented, opinionated, motivating, funny, frequent, loud speaker, not to mention a vastly experienced and successful salesman. I can't think of a better person from whom to learn basic and advanced ways of crafting and delivering powerful messages. And isn't that what sales is all about?

—Gabe Goldberg, President, Computers and Publishing, Inc.


At this interactive workshop you will learn how to say what you want—the way people want to hear it. In an hour and a half you will learn (1) what to say, (2) how to say it, and (3) when to say it to have your audience agreeing they want to do what you want them to do. Why work hard when you can work smart?

If you have not yet attended "Talk Your Business," you are in for a treat!

Speaker: Dick Davies' Web site says he is "a loud and frequent speaker," so it must be true. He has been president of Sales Lab, Incorporated, for 25 years.

Dick recently launched a new Web site at http://www.Planphoria.com. It's a Web 2.0 WordPress blog with repurposed content from his old Sales Lab site, content on disruptive innovation, Web 2.0 video tutorials, and the essay "Reads, Feeds, and Blogs."

Dick Davies has had key roles in the adoption of cellular phones, the Navy/Marine Corps intranet, and COBOL.
