Are facilitators just salespeople in disguise? We’re not on commission, we’re not driven by a desired outcome, we don’t have a product, and nor are we in a numbers game… and yet, the longer I spoke to Alan Versteeg this week, the more I realised just how much we have in common.

And if you still don’t believe me, Alan is here to change your mind - after all, this is where he shines! Alan has been selling perspectives to people for many, many years, inviting them in to  realise new ideas - rather like that of a facilitator.

Learn how Alan masters the influence of persuasion, how he’s perfected the art of authenticity to build trust, and why he believes the buy-in of a group is actually your secret sales pitch.

Find out about:

  • The intersection of facilitation and sales: from trust to perception and psychology
  • Alan’s 26-year sales experience in selling perspectives
  • Why leaders need to master buy-in if they are to inspire new perspectives
  • The importance of appealing to someone’s values - not their ideals
  • The 6 Ps of persuasion
