Want To Be A Sigma Sage®?
Health and Well-beingSynopsis
Many sales professionals struggle not because they lack effort, but because they operate without awareness of how their thoughts, emotions, and habits influence decisions. Poor judgment under pressure affects customer interactions, outcomes, and long-term growth. This session introduces the Sigma Sage approach, equipping participants with basic tools to understand the mechanics of life, live in an engaged manner, and function with greater awareness. By cultivating independence, self-reliance, wisdom, and reflection, participants learn how to make clearer decisions, respond more effectively to customers, and strengthen resilience. The session focuses on building internal alignment so external results become more consistent and sustainable.
Target Audience
Sales professionals who struggle with decision-making and customer interactions Sales professionals seeking greater awareness, resilience, and relationship effectiveness
Key Benefits
Decisions improve with awareness: Participants understand that sound decisions come from awareness, reflection, and self-regulation rather than impulsive reactions or pressure-driven choices. Calmer and more grounded: Participants feel more centred and confident, knowing they can respond thoughtfully instead of reacting emotionally when facing customers or challenges. Engage customers with intention: Participants apply self-awareness and reflective thinking to improve how they communicate, decide, and build relationships with customers.

How To Sell High Ticket Services And Products
Sales, Marketing and Customer ExperienceSynopsis
Selling high-ticket services and products requires more than persuasion. It demands the right mindset, a deep understanding of client behaviour, and a structured conversion process. Many sales professionals struggle not because they lack effort, but because they lack clarity on how clients buy, how value is perceived, and how trust is built before price is discussed. This session breaks down the high-ticket sales process into practical, actionable components. Participants explore the client buying journey, the theory of consumption, and the role of personal branding and social media in conversion. The result is a clearer, more confident approach to engaging prospects and closing higher-value sales.
Target Audience
Financial Advisors seeking to sell higher-value products and services more consistently Sales leaders looking to equip their teams with high-ticket sales capability and mindset
Key Benefits
High-ticket sales require value-based positioning: Participants realise that high-ticket success comes from mindset, clarity, and authority rather than pressure or volume-based selling. Confidence in engaging high-value prospects: Participants feel more assured engaging premium clients, understanding how to communicate value and handle objections calmly. Apply conversion tools and engagement methods: Participants use social media, branding strategies, and structured conversations to improve engagement and closing effectiveness.

How to Generate Endless Leads with the ‘Omni-Tribe’ Strategy

These tribes organically evolve into sources of trust, referrals, and recurring business.

Based on research in emotional intelligence and psychological safety, this keynote is a must-attend for leaders committed to building healthier, more resilient, and higher-performing workplace cultures.
