Dissolve Resistance and Increase your Influence with Clients September 23, 2011

Have you ever hit the wall with a client? Many of us have found ourselves surprised and confused when a client doesn't take our advice. You may have found yourself asking, "Why would a client pay good money for my services and then reject my guidance?" or "Where do I go from here?" or "Where did I go wrong?"

What are the causes of resistance in client engagements? How do you identify resistance? How can you avoid triggering resistance in the first place?

Dr. Rick Kirschner, star speaker and top-selling author, joins us from Ashland, Oregon, for the September BACN meeting to answer these questions. He's developed an original model of motivation and a positive approach to persuasion that will help you hone in on your client's perspective and have the impact you're striving for.

* Identify and understand what motivates your client.
* Take your client through progressive steps toward change.
* Increase your influence in your client engagements through the "Seven Signals of Persuasion".
