In this session recording from EXPO 2022 you'll learn 7 Secrets of body language to help you increase your sales

The meeting went great. Both homeowners were there, engaged, picked their colors, their finish, when they wanted to start, all of it. Then at the end, they said, "We need to think about it."

Wait, what?! What just happened, this looked like a sale and a new job!

What happened is you missed a key tell in the body language of one of them during the meeting, something that if noticed and addressed, would have taken the meeting from where it ended, to a closed sale. But how do you know, how would you have known?

Join best-selling sales author, keynote speaker, and in-home sales expert, Allan Langer, as he discusses the incredible importance of paying attention to body language during a presentation. From fake smiles to leg crossing to scratching a nose, everything happening in front of you with a potential customer is a clue into how they're feeling and what you need to do to understand what their bodies are saying. Which in turn, will help you understand what to do to ultimately sell more jobs.

Jason is a trusted thought leader in the contractor community, and his ideas are starting to turn heads across industries and businesses grappling with the labor shortage and searching for ways to create a company culture that supercharges team effectiveness.

Hiring a bookkeeper gives you more time to focus on your business.

Have a streamlined marketing strategy.

In this episode of the PaintEd Podcast, Torlando Hakes talks to Matt Kuyper founder and co-owner with his wife Maggie of Harpeth Painting. We explore the world of commercial painting and learn how to expand your company so that commercial success is certain!

The majority of commercial painters have completed an apprenticeship that lasts a few years, trade school, or on-the-job training. The challenging job of persistent, focused marketing is often neglected by painters. To close the transaction, you must contact each person on your list by phone, email, and—most importantly—in person. Obtaining business contracts requires a sustained marketing effort rather than a single phone contact or email.
