Program: You know the old British proverb: You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. Don’t try to make the horse drink. Try to make it thirsty. As professionals engaged daily in purchasing and negotiating, how can you persuade the key stakeholders in your company, negotiate with outside suppliers, and create thirst for what you are recommending? Practical tips in this presentation include 1. The presentation model developed recently for Boeing supply managers by the speaker called NORAD, which focuses on 5 questions involving needs, objectives, resources, analysis, and decisions.
2. Three powerful e-mail techniques for writing messages that connect with the reader immediately, create thirst, and invite positive responses.
3. Speaking and voice techniques that let you sound as decisive, confident, and persuasive as anyone you’ve ever heard on radio or television.
An illustrated handout with practical tips included will be provided for all who attend this event.
