Blowing Your Own Horn: How to Sell Yourself and Anything Else

Based on Carole Hyatt's book "The Woman's Selling Game", the first woman's book to make the bestseller charts. Published in five different languages, this program has changed the lives of innumerable women.

Whether your employees are looking for new responsibilities or techniques on how to get their ideas across more effectively, the old axiom “the squeaky wheel gets the grease” has new, contemporary meaning. If they are like most people, blowing their own horn doesn’t come easily. They may feel that their accomplishments should stand on their own. Sooner or later, no matter who they are or what they do, they will have to sell their ideas and, ultimately, themselves to their supervisor, management, or customers.

This Workshop or Keynote is based on Carole Hyatt’s best seller, The Women’s Selling Game: How to Sell Yourself & Anything Else. After fourteen editions in the U.S., the book is currently a top seller in Japan.

• Are you content with “Maybe” answers?
• Do you know what to say in the first minute of an internal presentation or sales call?
• Do you know how to get appointments with the people you want to see?
• Do you know how to sell when the product is “you”?
• Do some personalities make you feel uncomfortable?
• Are you intimidated when you have to ask for something for yourself?
