Everything about today’s marketplace is different – your customers, competition, technology, and employees. In a world that has changed so drastically, doesn’t it make sense that you need a new approach to how you sell, how you lead, how you grow your organization?

Sales strategist, leadership expert, Certified Speaking Professional, and award-winning author, Meridith Elliott Powell wants today’s businesses to stop viewing uncertainty as something that prevents them from being successful. This is why her virtual programs, leadership coaching, online courses, and keynote presentations leverage her 9 step formula for making uncertainty your company’s strategic advantage™.

So you can stop letting unpredictability be an obstacle to your success, and start embracing today’s uncertainty to to drive your organization’s growth and achieve phenomenal results.

A couple of years ago Meridith became obsessed with the word uncertainty and how we as business owners react so negatively to the word. She wanted to discover why so many of us let unpredictability become an obstacle to our success, so she started on a journey to find business leaders and organizations that had learned how to turn uncertainty into their strategic advantage.

She was able to uncover a wealth of knowledge. Meridith discovered several companies that have managed to survive a wide range of adversity.

From economic downturns and depressions, world wars, and even a global pandemic these organizations were able to create powerful growth opportunities from their uncertain times.

Through exhaustively researching these amazing organizations Meridith was able to find several common threads each of these success stories shared. And, she compiled what she learned into her 9 step formula for making uncertainty your company’s strategic advantage.

This formula works and Meridith Elliot Powell wants to share it with you. So contact Preferred Speakers today so that you can start leveraging today’s uncertainty and get on track to make this the best year ever.

SALES REDEFINED: DOMINATE, DIFFERENTIATE, DELIVER 

You followed all the rules. You’ve read all the books. You’ve implemented all the strategies. And still growing your branch, building your practice is a constant challenge. A challenge to get above the white noise. A challenge to stand out from the competition. A challenge to get to the decision maker. And a challenge to get the deal to close.

Why? Because sales has gone through a major disruption. If you’re still using traditional techniques, then you’re making sales so much harder than it has to be. To succeed, you need to evolve. You need to transform how you attract clients – build your reputation – engage with the marketplace – and get results.

Testimonials:

Meridith was an awesome keynote speaker for our annual summit. She brought energy and excitement to close out our day. So many speakers discuss concepts with no real road map. What differentiates Meridith is that she offers specific exercises to turn uncertainty into a competitive advantage. All of our associates are eagerly awaiting her next book that is soon to be released. I would highly recommend her for any company looking for a motivational speaker that offers a real game plan.
