Communications 101

In describing today’s accelerating changes, the media fire blips of unrelated information at us. Experts bury us under mountains of narrowly specialized monographs. Popular forecasters present lists of unrelated trends, without any model to show us their interconnections or the forces likely to reverse them. As a result, change itself comes to be seen as anarchic,  even lunatic.   Alvin Toffler

By answering eight key communication questions, this insightful presentation provides communications considerations that can make a difference for those seeking to effectively close “the last three feet” with their audience.

Key questions addressed in this presentation include:

• How does one change/maintain behavior?
• How many contacts are typically required to “close a deal”?
• How do clients best receive information?
• How do clients best retain information?
• How important is providing “proof points”?
• How do our minds work?
• How does order of entry effect market share?
• Where are clients on the innovation adoption curve?
