Gena Parker
Leadership Expert and “Natural Born Salesperson”
Why Book This Exclusive Speaker
In her keynote, “Natural-Born Salesperson,” Gena ignites salespeople, managers, and executives with a child-like fervor to live into their profession’s true potential. As an introverted art major who wound up calling on 3,000 doors per summer selling educational materials, Gena was a self-professed “reluctant salesperson.” She personally underwent the same transformation she now infuses in her audience, beginning with the realization that trying to avoid being salesy creates a tepid, ineffective salesperson. As an energizing keynote speaker, Gena helps her audience hone their skills and re-kindle the passion needed to increase their sales and achieve their goals.

In Gena’s Natural-Born Salesperson keynote, your audience will uncover key strategies to correct prevalent sales myths and significantly enhance their sales performance. Many of us are acutely aware of the negative stereotypes clouding the world of sales.(I would use this, “In an attempt to counteract these negative perceptions…” OR this, “This stigma can be so pervasive that it leads…” not both) many sales professionals (to) adopt(ing) weak, ineffective language and a passive approach to engaging their prospects and clients. Unfortunately, these well-intentioned efforts often backfire, leaving sales professionals feeling unproductive, frustrated, and confused. Ironically, it’s not salespeople who pay the highest price for a tepid sales approach – it’s your prospects. Gena highlights the rarely acknowledged truth: HOW choosing to sell from fear and failing to sell from conviction costs prospects dearly.
By addressing and overcoming these self-limiting beliefs, sales professionals can transform their approach, leading to more successful interactions and improved results.
