Ok, so you're "creative" and not into sales. Best-selling author, speaker and sales expert Renee Walkup, President of SalesPEAK, will help you tap into your Inner Account Exec and make it rain sales!

  1. Find and warm up leads -- then, convert them into sales
  2. Develop your own unique sales mojo
  3. Engage your prospects to generate excitement
  4. Work with gatekeepers so that they let you "in the gate"
  5. Grow your business exponentially (through referrals, upselling, sharing latest projects/results with other clients, etc.)
  6. Close, all along the way, on commitments that move the sale forward

Bring your top sales questions/challenges and your checkbook! Renee will be signing and selling copies of her newest book, SELLING TO ANYONE OVER THE PHONE, before and after the meeting.

About Renee P. Walkup

Professional speaker, trainer and author Renee Walkup may have established herself as an artist but felt she didn’t have any talent -- so she began her career selling, instead.

In fact, she’s been selling all her life. Nine years ago, she founded SalesPEAK, Inc. here in Atlanta. Her clients range from Charles Schwab to Turner Broadcasting, Outward Bound, ING, Hewlett-Packard and Nestlé. In addition, Renee works with many small businesses and entrepreneurs on growing their sales. A guest on numerous radio and TV programs, Renee’s reputation is known nationwide. She is a contributing author for six books, and her newest book, SELLING TO ANYONE OVER THE PHONE, now in its second edition, has sold over 35,000 copies.

Renee has spoken to the Freelance Forum a number of times and always loves to come back to our wonderful artistic energy!
