In a busy work environment, it’s easy to get so caught up in tactics and everything that needs to be done that you forget about your individual mindset and the collective culture of your organization. But these human elements are the very things that separate the average from the extraordinary.

In this engaging, practical keynote program, Scott will show you how to:

THINK like a high performer. Take control of your brain to ensure your mindset is an asset to the organization, not a detriment.

Shift from upselling to upserving so you can increase your average ticket size while meeting the customer’s needs at a more intuitive level
