Shawn Karol Sandy

“Wow! I cannot wait to get back to the office to try out these new tools and methods!” – VP of Sales at Online Recruiting Organization

Maintaining the Status Quo is a gift TO YOUR COMPETITORS. Hearing the same old feel good, “rah-rah” speech will NOT produce new results or help you put distance between you and your competitors – who are all looking to chip away at your customers.

What you CAN do, is innovate and differentiate. Work to profoundly understand and connect with your customers AND Ignite the fire within your sales and ops teams. Fuel your talent with inspiring and forward-thinking strategies. Humor, fun, entertainment, activity, contextual examples, and applicable actions are why people remember Shawn as the highlight of any event.

We’ve designed incredibly interactive and “unexpected” keynotes and breakout sessions. Audiences that attend Shawn’s sessions are seeing remarkable improvement and rapid adoption (because the takeaways are “sticky and memorable”).

As a speaker, Shawn aims to move, compel, and inspire. She’s entertaining and personally relevant in a way that leads to changed behavior, practiced habits, improved skills, and ultimately, MORE PROFITABLE SALES!

Okay, maybe you’re not a boat person. Think about it this way – would you only inflate ONE tire on your vehicle? How inefficient is that?!?

BECOMING BADASS: BRAVE BETTY'S GUIDE TO TAKING RISKS

Getting what you want means taking risks. As women, we’ve been told our entire lives to “Be careful, play it safe, don’t do that or climb that – you could fall down, you could get hurt.”

We’ve been conditioned to see challenges through fearful filters. 

How do we challenge and change those intuitive reactions after decades of conditioning?

What Our Clients and Audiences Say . . .

  • After working with Shawn, our team had immediately applicable and useable processes to widen our prospect base and increase our funding pipeline. Even more effective was her approach to confidence building by working with real life examples and scenarios to coach our Development Department through a challenging transition time. I highly recommend partnering with Shawn and her team to implement sales strategies, train new employees, evaluate current sales staff performance and build an overall successful sales or fundraising department.

  • Shawn Sandy has a true gift of coaching and connecting with the audience. I first experienced Shawn’s power of connecting during her presentation at a women’s conference, the message she was delivering was on target and has forever motivated me to function on a higher level as a woman of influence. I was so moved by her ability to connect with the audience that I raved about her for weeks to the head of my department, knowing that Shawn was the person who could provide the coaching that our management team so desperately wanted and needed I was relentless in requesting that we bring her in to the next quarterly manager’s meeting. A few months later Shawn was in front of my team challenging them to be better managers and leaders. The group was so impressed by the session that we brought her back a second time!

  • After one hour of strategy to secure sponsors and donors for this new music ensemble, listening to [Shawn’s] voice and her tone as a business woman, she gave me the tools and the confidence to go for it! I hit our goal and raised $10,000 in just 4 weeks!
