Julie's Genius
Tech to Connect

“Heads down” conversation is the new normal. From text messages to video voicemail, our ability to connect with others on a personal level is being challenged every single day by sheer distance.
Our knee jerk reaction is to REJECT THE TECH and demand more real, in-person interactions. But what if our ability to communicate meaningfully with others isn’t degrading but is instead EVOLVING?
The way we interact with others – especially in business – is at a tipping point. We can either stay shackled to the old ways of doing business or embrace progress, meeting our colleagues and customers where they already are.
By getting creative, being informed, and embracing new technology, you’ll be more connected to the people you serve.
At the end of this session you will:
- Understand why those cat videos are so addictive and what that means for your own on-screen messages
- Leverage the three dynamic dimensions of communication to make your messages irresistible
- Be ready to experience, practice, and scale your new found communication expertise with Julie's top app recommendations
Merit's Mastery
Build Trust in a Virtual World

Handshakes and coffee meet ups are so 2019. Yes, in-person meetings still happen, but you can’t rely on being in the same space to develop business relationships in 2020 and beyond..
Virtual meetings are here to stay, and that’s a good thing… once you understand the principles of building trust virtually. It takes more than understanding the functions of your meeting platform.
The way we establish rapport and trust on a virtual platform is a new skill that sales professionals didn’t need in the past and won’t be able to do without moving into the future. Your ability to do so will be a key differentiator in the marketplace.
By using the principles of rapport you used successfully in-person and adapting the to a virtual environment, you’ll build trust virtually.
At the end of this session you will:
- Have clarity regarding which offers are appropriate or not in these challenging times
- Build your action plan of 5 specific things you can do right now whether or not it is appropriate for you to continue selling
- Exactly what to say when you are not sure of what to say to engage or initiate sales conversations
