\n\nSpeaker: \; Bryan McDonald
\nTopic: Games Prospects &\; Buyers Play
\n\nWhat You Will Learn:
\n\n \;
\n\n\n
You'\;re good at what you do. Really good. So why does selling feel like such a grind?
\n\n
You leave conversations that felt promising and never hear back. You spend time (and energy) with people who take your thinking and disappear. You'\;ve lowered your price for clients you probably shouldn'\;t have taken in the first place. And somewhere in the back of your mind\, you keep wondering if there'\;s a version of this where it doesn'\;t feel so hard.
\n\n
There is.
\n\n
Most sellers assume the problem is their pitch\, their follow-up\, or their pricing. So they tweak the script. They try a new CRM. They take a sales course that teaches tactics that feel completely wrong for who they are.
\n\n
None of it sticks - because they'\;re solving the wrong problem.
\n\n
In Games Prospects &\; Buyers Play\, we'\;re going to have an honest conversation about what'\;s actually driving the frustration. We'\;ll get into the psychology behind why prospects ghost\, stall\, take your free advice\, and disappear - and more importantly\, what you can do differently starting with your very next conversation.
\n\n
This isn'\;t another session about closing techniques or follow-up scripts. It'\;s about understanding the game that'\;s being played\, so you can stop playing the one that'\;s costing you.
\n\n
If you'\;ve ever said "\;I just wish I had better clients\,"\; this is worth attending.
\n\n
What You'\;ll Learn When You Attend:
\n\n
\n - Why good prospects go quiet (and it'\;s not what you think) \;
\n - The real cost of chasing the wrong conversations \;
\n - What separates the prospects who convert from the ones who don'\;t I
\n - A different way to think about your pipeline conversations \;
\n
\n
Along the way\, you&rsquo\;ll also have chances to win prizes courtesy of our 2026 Title Sponsor\, Raymond Chevrolet Kia! Join us Wednesday\, November 18 at 11:30 am at Raymond Kia of Antioch for lunch\, connections\, and learn from how to improve your sales. If you have special dietary needs\, please list on comment section on \;registration. \;
\nMembers only &bull\; $20 per person &bull\; Advance registration required by November 13. \; \;Cancellations must be made by the Friday prior to the event. No-shows will be invoiced. \;Join fellow Chamber members for conversation\, connections\, and insight.
