The right kind of humor is connecting tissue between buyer and seller.

- An approach to start more and have easier conversations
- See for yourself in the video on the right. 🙂
Companies I've worked with:
Most sales pros sell stuff they've never used...to people whose jobs they've never had...in industries they've never worked.
This leads to:
- Long ramp time for new reps
- Poor understanding of target personas
- Poor understanding of the problems you solve and impacts of not solving them
- Reps lacking confidence
- Reps struggling to build rapport
- Forgettable messaging and outreach
- An inability to cut through the noise
- Ineffective top-of-funnel efforts
- Siloed sales and marketing efforts
- Weak written, verbal communication skills
- Poor buyer experience
I help sellers & marketers craft & communicate key ideas in a way that buyers understand and remember.
I share a framework that gives sellers and marketers:
A deeper understanding of your target buyer
Each prospect is a "micro-audience". We’ll map out who your ideal buyer is, what they’re trying to achieve, how they’re measured, and what impacts their emotions.
Deeper insight into problems you solve for them
Great salespeople need to be part therapist, part business consultant. In breakout groups, your team will thoroughly unpack the problems you solve for your buyers and detail how your solutions impact them, their stakeholders, and their emotions.
Memorable messaging & an approach to start more, have easier conversations
With enhanced insights into our buyer and how they're impacted by problems we solve for them, we'll undertake a creative process to transform them into messaging that roasts your prospect’s pain, gets them saying “that’s funny because it’s true”, and explore ways to repurpose & exploit the message.
This is NOT:
About making sales reps funny
Our objective isn't to turn your team into a wisecracking pack of Seinfelds.
This is about using a process comedy writers' use as a vehicle for sales enablement, and using and the byproduct of our efforts to help sellers earn more attention, build more trust.
An improv workshop
Improv is about creating unscripted moments that cannot be re-created.
This is about creating more recreateable moments that sellers
A sales methodology
This is a complement to your current sales methodology - not a substitute for it.
No methodology can overcome poor business acumen and the inability to start and have meaningful conversations with prospects.
This process prepares reps to have both.
Powerchord struggled to:
- Engage visitors at their trade show booth
- Educate visitors on the hyper-specific problems they solve
- Generate ROI on their trade show spend
