KEYNOTE: Ask Like an Auctioneer
Dia Bondi
Learn to think like an auctioneer so you can Ask Like an Auctioneer and never leave money or opportunity on the table again, ever. When we ask, we aim low. We ask for what we think we can reasonably get because we’re afraid to risk demanding too much and end up with nothing at all. The result? We leave money and opportunity on the table.
This session is for ambitious professionals who are serious about having an impact inside organizations. Learn to Ask Like an Auctioneer and you’ll never leave any money or opportunity on the table again.
