A successful sales kickoff should do more than motivate your sales team for a day. It should give them fresh ideas they can use when they’re back in front of customers and prospects. That’s where humor comes in!
Sales kickoff keynote speaker Jan McInnis brings a different approach to sales communication. In her Finding the Funny in Communication keynote, she shows sales professionals how to use appropriate humor to get people listening, make conversations more engaging, and create stronger connections with customers. This isn’t about teaching your salespeople to tell jokes. It’s about giving them practical ways to use humor naturally in everyday business situations.
With more than 25 years of experience as a keynote speaker, comedian, and professional comedy writer, Jan combines a high-energy presentation with useful techniques that sales teams can start using immediately. She also customizes her keynote to reflect your company’s audience, goals, and communication challenges.
“I can’t thank you enough for joining us last week and sharing some much-needed laughs and insight with us. We had amazing feedback, and the group loved the idea of incorporating humor into their everyday conversations with customers. This year we are really focusing on getting back to the basics with our customers and finding that human connection again and I think your keynote really set us in the right direction to achieve that. Folks are still talking about it!”
