<p><strong>Keynote Speech: </strong><strong>The Key To Sales Mastery: Understanding Why And How People Buy</strong></p>
<p>Today, the basic dynamic of the sales process has changed.  Sales are no more primarily about selling products.</p>
<p>Rather, it is about building trust and working with prospects collaboratively to solve problems.</p>
<p>Drawing on Samurai Business Group&#8217;s newly released book,<strong><em> &#8220;Put the WIN back in your </em></strong></p>
<p><strong><em>SALES&#8221;</em></strong>, master sales trainer Bob Lambert  will outline a fundamentally different approach to <strong><em> </em></strong></p>
<p>selling based on scientific research into human perception, <span id="more-102"></span>motivation and behavior.</p>
<p>Using science-based decision models and real-world case studies, Lambert will reveal ways to</p>
<p>develop long-lasting relationships with customers.  He will discuss how to build such relationships</p>
<p>by increasing your understanding of what is important to them and providing them what they really</p>
<p>want. Through that process, you can create credibility and trust, changing their perception of you</p>
<p>from a vendor to a valuable resource and trusted asset.</p>
