About the conference

According to research, as much as 70-80% of business growth comes from existing customers. Where is the secret to effective relationship management with them? In the brain - of our customers and salespeople! Did you know that it is the brain's reactions that determine customers' purchasing decisions? Everything we do is a consequence of electrical and chemical signals in the brain. By knowing these mechanisms, you can guide the sales conversation in such a way as to inspire greater trust and accelerate purchase.

The latest discoveries in neuroscience and neuropsychology allow salespeople to communicate more effectively with customers by tailoring the message and communication strategy to the individual and the situation. By understanding how the brain makes decisions and perceives certain stimuli, salespeople will select effective arguments, "whip up" customer fears and build relationships based on trust.
