About this event

Join us for an insightful event with the Professional Speaking Association featuring Carol Benton, who will deliver a powerful talk on mastering the art of connecting with your audience and converting conversations into sales.

Many companies and speakers excel at what they do, but they often struggle to turn their expertise into paying clients. The challenge lies in speaking their audience’s language. In this talk, Carol Benton will delve into the two languages in business — “What” and “So What” — and explain why prospective customers are only interested in the “So What.”

Carol will break down the three essential components of a successful “So What” message:

Connect: How to engage with your audience and make them want to listen.
Convince: Techniques to demonstrate that you can solve their problems.
Convert: Strategies to turn interested prospects into paying clients.

Using real-life stories from her 35+ years of experience, Carol will offer practical tips and guidance to help you refine your message, ensuring it resonates with your audience and leads to meaningful results.

  • Professional speakers
  • Trainers and coaches
