What the talk is about

Every deal has one meeting where the room goes cold. Hard Rooms is about that meeting: opening with the buyer's question instead of the pitch, checking you were understood before you move on, and what to do in the minute after somebody says no.

What your audience leaves with

  • Open with their question, not your deck

    A first five minutes that earns the next twenty-five, rehearsed live with volunteers from the room.

  • The three-minute teach-back

    The check good teachers use to know a point landed, adapted for a negotiation and a renewal call.

  • When the room goes cold

    Four sentences for the minute after a no, and how to tell a real objection from a tired one.
