    Outline

    Strategic Move 1: Language Mastery – Speak Their Words, Win Their Trust Influence starts with connection. Learn how to adapt your language to resonate with CEOs, students, or creatives by shifting communication styles without losing authenticity. Discover how small adjustments in phrasing and tone can open doors, strengthen rapport, and convert conversations into opportunities that otherwise would have been lost. Strategic Move 2: Value First – Give Before You Ask For Anything Stop leading with a pitch. Influence grows by creating value first — whether through introductions, insights, or simple acts of service. Learn how Chris built opportunities by consistently giving, and how this simple shift positions you as indispensable. Value-first thinking makes people trust, remember, and refer you naturally. Strategic Move 3: Perspective Reset – Reframe Challenges Into Growth Opportunities Your perspective shapes your results. Learn to view obstacles as stepping stones, rejection as redirection, and setbacks as preparation for breakthroughs. This mindset helps leaders and sales professionals sustain momentum in difficult markets, build resilience, and inspire confidence — creating an influence that extends beyond sales into leadership.
