Every meaningful connection begins with a conversation.
Conversations have the power to inspire, engage-and even entertain. From late night talk show hosts to award-winning podcasters, great conversationalists can move an audience to laughter or tears, action or stillness, and always keep the crowd wanting more. And so can you.

In the “Speak Easy” keynote and/or workshop, master connector, professional speaker and podcaster Lou Diamond drills down into the methods and strategies used by renowned interviewers and hosts, and shows you how to transform every conversation you have into an opportunity to connect, engage, and win in business and in life.

Through action items, exercises, tools, and real-life case studies, Lou arms you with the tactics and skills you need to prepare for, maximize, and drive a great conversation with a prospect, colleague, client, or partner.

Whether you’re a salesperson, entrepreneur, manager, or even in show business, Speak Easy is your essential playbook to unlocking the unlimited potential that lies in every conversation.

Some of the outputs and takeaways include:

• Learn what the real goal of a conversation should be
• How to kick-start a conversation
• Keep your conversations fun and engaging
• How to skillfully move a conversation to a “Call To Action”
• Set the stage for more conversations

Before & After:
Thrive believes that in client relations, the groundwork made ‘before the pitch’ and the ongoing efforts established ‘after the close’ far outweigh the importance of delivering sales pitch or presentation. Thrive designed the ‘Before & After’ workshop to address and focus on these very skills.

The program is divided into two equal sessions. ‘Before’ is designed to help participants improve how they network, prospect and build connections to expedite the sales process and maximize the opportunities they have in their pipeline. ‘After’ is all about client retention. Attendees work on how to retain the clients they work so hard to get, how to build great relationships and to grow business year after year with every client.

Before the Pitch:
This program is designed to help your audience improve how they network, prospect and build connections to expedite the sales process and maximize the opportunities they have. Much like sports, or any kind of performance or competition, preparation is key. Your audience will discover the kind of communication tools needed in today’s environment to get ready before they even walk in the door.

After the Close:
This program is critical for client retention! Your audience will discover:

• How to retain the clients they work so hard to get
• How to build the relationships so the clients not only come back because their problems are solved, but because of the relationship
• What actions and communications they should engage in to solidify client relationships.
