"What if every conversation you had was a great one? Sometimes, that promising lead turns out to be a bust. That first date doesn't lead to a second. The sales pitch fails to land the client. But what if they could? What if you knew the steps to "set up" each conversation to increase the likelihood that you connect, engage and win? Welcome to Speak Easy.
