    Buying Signs: A New ‘Look’ at Selling

    Bill Acheson’s first keynote speech is called “Buying Signs: A New ‘Look’ at Selling.” In it, he examines how skills associated with rapport, personal power, and deception come into play whenever prospects or clients meet face-to-face with sales professionals.

    Rapport Building

    A look at Rapport Building includes how to approach sales prospects, as well as the differences in approaching men, women, and couples. Learn the five styles of handshakes and how to differentiate both conscious and subconscious nonverbal cues. (This segment is also done as a standalone keynote presentation.)

    Personal Power

    In discussing Personal Power, we learn how we communicate through body language, including how people use time, space, appearance, posture, gesture, voice, facial expression, eye contact, touch, silence, and even smell to communicate messages about personal power. (This segment is also done as a standalone keynote presentation.)

    Identifying Deception

    Deception is a conscious act that tends to create involuntary physiological responses on the part of the speaker, providing an opportunity to determine when we are being deceived. As a rule, the bigger the lie, the easier it is to detect, if you know what to look for. (This segment is also done as a standalone keynote presentation.)

    The Hidden Message

    In “Nonverbal Communication: The Hidden Message,” Bill Acheson examines how professionals deal with each other on a day-to-day basis and the impact that understanding nonverbal communication can have to enhance their effectiveness.

    Learn how we communicate both emotional and relationship messages through body language. “The Hidden Message” examines professional and social settings to learn how people use time, space, appearance, posture, gesture, voice, facial expression, eye contact, touch, silence, and even smell to communicate both conscious and subconscious messages. Special attention is given to gender differences and how they may account for some forms of misunderstanding.
