People Over Process: Exposing the Hidden Killer That’s Costing You Sales
In this engaging, story-driven session led by Ryan Taft, you’ll discover how rigid, process-first selling is quietly driving today’s buyers away—and what to do instead. Using real-world stories, mystery shop insights, and humor, we’ll reveal how scripted pitches and robotic sales processes undermine trust and connection, even on strong teams. You’ll learn how to rebalance structure with authenticity, rewrite sales scripts to sound human, and avoid hidden process pitfalls without abandoning your framework. Walk away with a practical playbook to boost conversions, build stronger relationships, and put the person—not the process—back at the center of selling.
