Smart Talk Session to Explore the Science of Selling

April 21, 2014--(Philadelphia, PA) Is selling an art or a science? On April 24, tech sales expert Richard Geise will share his experience in developing formulas for sales success at a Smart Talk session focused on the Science of Selling. The program will run from 8:30 – 10 a.m. at Quorum at the University City Science Center, 3711 Market Street, Suite 800, Philadelphia. The Science of Selling will explore how early-stage companies can obtain truthful and accurate responses from prospects; handle "think it overs" while avoiding unpaid consulting; and why prospects might say they love it, but don't buy. Geise will also discuss the significant impact an effective sales process can have on both deal flow and gaining insights into customers and products. Geise has 25-plus years building sales teams and processes for a wide range of companies from IBM to internet startups. The Smart Talk session will also feature a case study from Robert Hart, Ph.D., co-founder and president of Science Center resident Optofluidics, on how his company has implemented Geise’s formula in their sales strategy.
