Neurohumorist and TEDx speaker Karyn Buxman will take you on a life- changing journey of humor and hope.

You don’t need to use humor in sales...unless you want to be successful! Any salesperson worth his or her salt knows humor is an important sales skill. But knowing it and doing it well can be the difference in closing that sale—or not. Neuroscience reveals that “Logic tells, but emotion sells.” Humor is a fast, simple and cost-effective route to the emotions. When used strategically, humor helps the seller break down objections, hold the buyer’s attention, open the buyer’s mind, increase the seller’s likability, and strengthen rapport. When used incorrectly... well, don’t go there. Instead, join neurohumorist Karyn Buxman and laugh all the way to the bank.
