"Sales." Some people think it's a 4-letter word, and it was no different for Joyce, starting out. In fact, she stayed in a position she had outgrown for over a year because of her apprehension when it came to sales. When she did decide to go for it, she became intimidated and confused by the idea of sales and marketing, and ended up going through all sorts of programs, reading a number of books, and listening to a variety of experts on the topic.

"Sales." Some people think it's a 4-letter word, and it was no different for Joyce, starting out. In fact, she stayed in a position she had outgrown for over a year because of her apprehension when it came to sales. When she did decide to go for it, she became intimidated and confused by the idea of sales and marketing, and ended up going through all sorts of programs, reading a number of books, and listening to a variety of experts on the topic. It seemed like the experts had conflicting ideas! At the height of her frustration, she started to recognize sales for what it really is.

Sales is something we all engage in every day, whether it's getting kids to eat vegetables, inviting someone on a date, or even persuading our parents to let us have something as children. It's an opportunity to help someone resolve a problem or achieve a goal. And it's a way to offer a contribution doing what, hopefully, you love to do and are passionate about. When you are passionate about what you do, or at least why you are doing it, people will naturally want to work with you. And Joyce is passionate about helping people with sales and marketing, but not just traditional sales and marketing - she specializes in EMPOWERING sales and marketing.

Empowering sales and marketing is that which leaves all parties feeling empowered and respected. Imagine a sales process where you and the client gain clarity. That clarity creates a better sense of expectations, reducing the possibility of conflict, errors, or misunderstandings, and increasing satisfaction. Not every person you meet will be an ideal client for you, and part of Joyce's empowered sales and marketing process helps you identify who is, and how to make the most of your time with people, even if that means going for a "No" or "Not yet."

Joyce trains and consults on all parts of the universal sales cycle, helping clients sleep better at night while being more productive and efficient in increasing revenue during the day. But what makes her unique (okay, ONE of the things...) is the fact that she uses an eclectic set of skills, including scientifically created techniques applied with artistry, compassion, and humor, to put clients at ease with sales and marketing and help them take action they feel good about. Naturally, that creates better results.

  I've never met Joyce, but I've seen her in action . . . in the sense that she's embraced the opportunity to be a committed member of this community. Not all have done that. joyce has. So, if you want or need what Joyce does, all things being equal, I'd go with Joyce -- she's the 'real thing' and that . . . is very rare.   [less]
