SUMMARY:SMART Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Emotional Intelligence (EQ) \nWhat would other people who are close to you say about you? How aware are you of your emotions and how you come across to others? How aware are you of other people’s feelings? How well do you manage your emotions and behavior? Emotional intelligence (EQ) is the ability to be aware of and manage your own emotions as well as the emotions of others. EQ is a greater predictor of success in life than IQ. Improving one’s emotional intelligence is an ongoing process. \nIn this half-day program\, Emmie Brown will discuss the basics of cognitive psychology\, in\nparticular\, how the human brain processes stimuli. Then\, we will deep-dive into the 4 parts of emotional intelligence with tangible techniques to improve your self-awareness\, social awareness\, self-management\, and social management. You will leave this session: \n• Equipped with the tools to help you remove your blind spots\n• Better able to have empathy for others\n• Empowered with the ability to change your most hard-wired habits\n• Aware of what you can change and what you must accept \nFacilitated by Emmie Brown of Southwestern Speakers & Training.  \n\n\n	SMART-2022.pdf	(1085 downloads	)

SUMMARY:Sandler Sales Training
DESCRIPTION:Hundreds of our members who have attended the CSC sales training programs have experienced significant improvements in their close rates\, improved competitive messaging and shortened sales cycles. Why? Because this highly rated program focuses on shifting the mindset of your sales team into tactical selling that actually works! \nCommon Framework\nThe message is geared for the new sales reps\, but is an equally important refresher for tenured reps and managers.

You’ll gain a foundation for a consistent\, transparent sales process\, which will enable you to align your teams to effectively execute strategies for closing more business. \nActual Sales Scenarios of Rental Situations\nWhen you participate in this workshop\, you will work with real\, live sales situations that challenge you and your organization. Participants put what they are learning to an immediate test. \nTakeaway’s\n• Learn how to stand out and be more effective than your larger competitors.\n• Learn the psychology of decisions and how prospects actually buy.\n• Practice personal experiences using training techniques.\n• Gain control of the selling process in a way that your prospect feels comfortably in control.\n• Learn the absolute “key” to sales success…it’s not all what you know.\n• Learn how to be on ‘your system’\, not the prospect’s system.\n• Learn how to sell today and educate tomorrow.\n• Position ‘the sale’ by being refreshingly ‘direct’ and separate yourself from the competition.\n• Develop a personal growth plan and accountability system. \n\n\n	Agenda.pdf	(1127 downloads	)
