CT: Leverage Customer and Employee Emotions to Drive Productivity, Sales and Profits

It’s no longer safe to stay  comfortable.

Today’s “New Normal” has upended the competitive landscape and made clear the dangers of playing it safe. Driving increased sales and profits demands a transformational mindset.

Did you know 70% of all decisions are based on emotions and intangible criteria? Every interaction you have with your employees and customers requires insight into what really drives their attitudes and behavior. Emotions don’t cease to exist because they’re ignored. But all too often people resist revealing what you need to know most. 

How do you avoid the right answers to the wrong questions? How do you identify what change is truly required to meet the needs of your clients and employees? And how do you overcome the resistance that inevitably comes with shifting away from the status quo? Susan Vogel will discuss the pitfalls of ineffective communications and asking predictable questions based on internal assumptions or beliefs. She will share the brain science behind how we need to communicate to overcome resistance and identify crucial behavioral goals. Susan will demonstrate how asking unexpected questions helps facilitate candid and revealing responses. When asked the unexpected, there are no ready answers. Instead this approach provides a more authentic understanding of the emotional triggers management can use to capitalize on organizational and marketing opportunities.

Join fellow CEO Trustees for a lively business discussion for cocktails and seasonal, locally sourced hors d'oeuvres from Chef Genee Habinsky of Herbaceous Catering Company at Serendipity Labs.
