  • The Situation
    We’re always selling.
    Neuroeconomics is the interdisciplinary study of human decision making in three domains – cognitive psychology, neuroscience and behavioral economics. By understanding fundamental principles from this field, the speaker has been able to produce an 82% win-rate in an industry where 30 – 35% is the norm. This talk will provide a brief introduction to three easily understood and quickly applied techniques that can help you significantly increase your own win rate.
  • Intended Outcome
    Increased probability your offers to both internal colleagues and external customers will be accepted.
    We have used this framework in, what is arguably, one of the most arm’s length industries – government sales – to achieve an 82% win rate where 30 – 35% is the norm.kollage-von-ha--nden-mit-verschiedenen-wa--hrungen--konzept-crowdfunding
