Keynote Topics
What turns customers on more than realising that you are fully committed to driving their outcomes? This highly engaging keynote focuses on the mindset and skill sets necessary to be a highly persuasive seller that your clients cannot live without.
Today’s buyers are frazzled, fickle and frustrated. Just like you and I. How do you capture the attention of already overwhelmed consumers?
This practical and highly engaging session will have the penny dropping and the lightbulbs illuminating as your salespeople learn what a “typical day in the life of your customer” looks like.
According to Forrester Research 89% of sales conversations are considered a waste of time, and 60% of qualified opportunities end in no decision. We lose more deals to status quo than any other competitor. In this fast paced Keynote Shelley will teach your salespeople how they can CRUSH THE QUO.

In 2011 I moved from Port Elizabeth to Johannesburg after being head hunted by Raizcorp to mentor over 60 companies in their portfolio,
But I always knew that I was destined for business, I left the safety-net of full time employment in 2012 when I founded my speaking business, Shelley Walters Inc, followed by The Sales Counsel (Pty) Ltd in 2016.
I am incredibly privileged to travel all over the world to speak to a variety of audiences. and I am also honoured to be able to represent South Africa as a panelist in the annual international Women in Sales Awards in Europe.
