During his 33 years in business David has seen time and again the dramatic differences in outcome between people who step up to the plate and take charge as opposed to those who continue to do exactly as they were taught when they were told to ’trust” the system.For most of his career, David has worked as a consultant helping Realtors, Insurance agents and other solopreneurs to become better at relationship-based marketing. Over the years David realized that the key to success wasn't learning some new closing techniques or buying some highly touted and expensive Internet lead generation software. Rather, it all came back to learning how to connect in a genuine way with new prospects and existing customers.Never has it been truer that "people buy from people they like"Sadly, most sales professionals have no idea that they can dramatically increase their closing ratio with an easy to learn a skill called, "empathetic communications".Empathetic communications are based on providing information to your prospect in the way that they are most comfortable with receiving it, processing it and making a buying decision.This is accomplished by understanding their unique personality.David established HERO Conversations to help sales professionals and small business owners to quickly acquire one of the most valuable skills possible, Rich, deep and meaningful conversations with those you care the most about, your spouse or significant other, your children, family members, and your close friends. David is also an accomplished public speaker and his style is reminiscent of your favorite warm and friendly College Professor. He takes what can be technical subjects and breaks them down into simple digestible learning blocks enabling his listeners to easily apply their new knowledge.https://www.heroconversations.com/positively-charged
