How To Think Like A Client, Not Like A Professional

Whether at a prospect or at a client, sooner or later we are likely to run into someone who is wired differently than we are.

Our speaker will be Bill Harnen, who is an expert at helping people understand how human behavior will enhance their success in communicating with clients.

This talk teaches people the four different types of personality styles of human behavior. It gives the audience a better understanding of how to talk to prospects at the client's level of communication.
