RELATIONSHIP SELLING

Men and women who sell for a living say they admire a speaker who respects their role in the business world, offers a refreshing view of the sales mystique, provides useful information, and does it in a style that educates, intrigues and amuses.

Robert Fellows is that speaker. He has demonstrated his creativity with such companies as Pacific Gas & Electric, 3M, Motorola, and IBM. His rapport with his audience builds minute by minute throughout performances based on more than 25 years as a professional entertainer.

Drawing on his background as a professional stage illusionist, he demonstrates how salespeople can be fooled by common assumptions. He involves the entire audience in an exercise testifying to the power of suggestion, then suggests how they can apply the power to their own purposes. His segment on building relationships through informed choice inspires sales professionals to become counselors and consultants to their clients.
