Many business owners and professionals feel uncomfortable with traditional sales approaches that rely on pressure, persuasion tactics or manipulation. Yet selling is essential if a business is to grow, serve customers well and remain sustainable. Ethical selling offers a better way.

In this session, Richard Palmer will explore how sales can be done with respect, integrity and responsibility, without compromising relationships or personal values. Drawing on the principles from his book The Ethical Sales Handbook, Richard will show how ethical selling is not only more authentic, but also more effective in building long term trust and collaboration with customers.

Join us to learn how to:

– approach sales conversations with confidence
– qualify and help the right customers
– and create outcomes that feel fair and positive for everyone involved

This practical session is ideal for anyone who wants to grow their business while staying true to their values.
