San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) September 05, 2013 Advanced Marketing Concepts (Admarco) principal, Mark Gibson, joins Mike Bosworth Leadership as an Affiliate and hosts first Story Seekers Open Workshop in Carmel CA.
Mike Bosworth is a familiar name to millions of salespeople through his books and training courses, including; “Solution Selling” published nearly 30 years ago, "Customer Centric Selling" published in 2004, and his most recent work; "What Great Salespeople Do."
In 2013, he founded Mike Bosworth Leadership, where he provides Story Seekers™ workshops and executive coaching through a network of affiliates to help people learn to use the power of story and connective listening to build trust and influence change in others.
Mark Gibson has been working with sales and marketing leaders for the past 10 years to help create messaging clarity to attract and engage prospective customers on websites and in conversation with salespeople.
“After reading What Great Salespeople Do, I recognized the potential of storytelling to connect with buyers and contacted Mike,” explained Mark Gibson. “Two big problems in selling today are; i. salespeople have become facilitators in a buying process over which they exercise little control, ii. salespeople have fewer “at-bat” opportunities to engage buyers.”
“Most salespeople are good talkers, but have yet to become great listeners. Story Seekers story telling and story tending workshops and skill development provide a foundation to improve skill and to connect emotionally with buyers, colleagues and loved-ones,” he added.
"We are excited to have Mark Gibson joining our affiliate team. He has the perfect background and skill-set, having been a successful salesperson, consultant and sales trainer,” Mike Bosworth said. "Mark's experience in the technology business is both broad and global, and being based on the West Coast will be a huge asset to Mike Bosworth Leadership to address the increasing demand for our StorySeekers workshops and training," continued Bosworth.
We are holding our first Bay Area Open Story Seekers Workshop in Carmel, CA on 8-10 October and it should be of interest to salespeople, sales managers and leaders who seek to connect and influence others without using their authority. http://www.tinyurl.com/story-seekers-open
