Catching the Wild Stakeholder

Live Webinar – March 28th, 2013 11:00 am – 12:00pm EDT
Duration: 1 Hour 1 Category C PDU – Free PDU
Presenter: Journyx Inc.

If you’re trying to sell to internal (within your organization) or external stakeholders (paying customers, government, influencers, etc.), they can vanish just when you thought they would be supportive and say “Yes”. This happens even if they’ve “bought” before. It might seem like a mystery or like there’s little you can do to know it’s happening or prevent it.

Start with understanding their “Buying Continuumâ„¢”. Just as you have a stakeholder agreement or customer sales process, every one of them is a “buyer” with their own “buying” process.

Learn how to use it to your advantage!
Capture more of those “wild” stakeholders
Who could be getting away …

Jan will also discuss how to recognize the “Platinum Profile Stakeholdersâ„¢” that you really can’t afford to lose.

Bring examples to discuss.
Walk away with actions to take.
