An interactive, fun & insightful session for leaders who need to sell ideas, products, services & influence others powerfully
About this Event

Are you:

  • A business leader who wants to sell your products or services with more ease & confidence; or
  • A business leader who wants to influence & get a "yes!" to your ideas more often than not
  • A sales leader with integrity, who wants your team to love sales & get great at it;

If you agree with any or all of the below, then this free interactive workshop is for you:

  • I understand the importance of influencing people rather than forcing them - and I'd like to get better at influencing
  • I understand that the game of sales has changed - and sales people need to be strategic and smart about selling.
  • I know that people these days don't want to just be sold to, they want products and services that solve their problems & make a real difference in their lives
  • I know if my business or department is to succeed, my team and I need to get comfortable with - and very good at - sales
  • I do have products and services that make a positive impact on people's lives - I want to get them out there to more people
  • I know that the days of the dishonest sales-person (who'll even lie to get a sale) are gone. I'm interested in authentic, effective selling

// Selling your solutions helps your clients / customers solve their problems: without the product or service to help them, our customers/ clients don't get the change they seek


// A year from now you'll be glad you started today" How do you want your business/ department or career to look like come September 2026 ? Come and learn with like-minded professionals who want to enhance how they influence, sell and make an impact in the world


// Your facilitator & teacher: This free interactive session is facilitated by accredited Leadership, wellbeing & business coach Cece Ojany-Bekhor (she/her). Cece is the Director & Coach at The Main Protagonist Coaching - a coaching & training practice that began 11+ years ago


What will you learn in this fresh, interactive & insightful session?

Using fun exercises and teaching by Coach Cece, you will learn how to:

  • deepen your understanding of what selling & influencing actually are - so that you can be better prepared to sell
  • better understand what makes others open to being influenced by you, and thus buy your ideas, products / services
  • organise your thinking & your communication so that you share your offer compellingly - whether verbally or written
  • get clarity on the deeper problems your products/ services really solve (it's often not what you think) - and thus sell more effectively
  • handle rejection (getting a "no") and keep moving forward with confidence
  • how to be resilient, enjoy sales and influencing no matter how many rejections you get
  • deeply understand how succesfully selling solves problems - and that's what makes sales fun and essential

// 2 helpful notes: (1) this event is open to all genders and leaders from different industries (2) bring a notepad and pen to jot down your insights

"Met Cece for the first time during a corporate team training, and even a year later, I still find myself applying so much of what we discussed—both at work and in my personal life. That alone speaks volumes about the impact she drives.What really stands out about Cece is her ability to keep you fully engaged.She’s not just exceptional at what she does—she’s also a great listener who tailors her approach to fit both individual and team needs. Truly a game-changer!" ~Samuel

She is a wonderful coach and great sounding board - always empathetic and excellent at reframing experiences and perspectives productively. Her extensive experience working with a diverse group of leaders enables her to put things in context and identify patterns in a way that allows her to tease out relevant lessons without flattening your unique experience. I recommend her as a leadership coach without reservation." ~Aparupa
