The Science of Starting Sales Conversations workshop will be held on 15 October 2026 at Leeds Trinity University. This free session aims to help new business owners initiate sales conversations effectively without being pushy.
For many new business owners, initiating sales conversations can feel uncomfortable, let us show you the right way to do it successfully
For many business owners, initiating sales conversations can feel uncomfortable. In an effort to secure business quickly, it is easy to default to aggressive, high-pressure outreach - which often ends up pushing prospective clients away.
In this interactive 45-minute session, sales trainer Paul Kilby reveals the subtle psychology behind opening commercial dialogues that build immediate trust. You will discover how to spark genuine interest, replace pushy scripts with natural curiosity, and avoid the common pitfalls that stall early-stage sales.
What you will learn:
Why aggressive selling backfires - and the psychological shift to use instead
How to craft conversation starters that get prospects talking freely
The key steps to guide early curiosity into a meaningful business opportunity
About Brighter Thinking Ltd: Brighter Thinking Ltd is a Leeds-based Sales Training and Leadership Consultancy that helps business owners and sales professionals ethically win more business using applied neuroscience and proven persuasive psychology.
