The Neuroscientist Patrick Renvoisé On How To Manage and Win A Zoom Sales Meeting

Zoom sales meetingFace-to-face vs. a virtual sales meeting. Some things remain the same and somethings radically change. This podcast is all about how to understand how the brain works in a Zoom sales meeting, presentations or any other Zoomish thing.

You will hear about what works including the concept of primacy and recency. As in what people actually remember. Important learning here.

This is one that you should stay for till the last few minutes. I made an avoidable podcasting mistake that acts as a decent learning moment. For me, and you.

This is number 4 in my series on Zoom sales calls and it delves into the science. This is, if I say so myself, a must listen to interview.

#2 In The Advertising Stories Series On Virtual Pitching.

I interviewed Linda Lane Gonzalez, CEO of Miami’s Viva Multicultural agency on how to win a virtual pitch. I mean, how she won a new dating app client. Linda and her team combined the art of  Zoom + love + hooking up + a very smart advertising agency + video + influencers + consumer interviews + keeping the ball rolling down the virtual field to wow and win a new client.

This is a how-to get past not being in the same room BUT still exciting the dating app client and winning. Ah, love.

advertising agency presentationAdvertising Agency Search Consultant Lisa Colantuono of AAR Partners On How To Win The Virtual Pitch.

Some people who have read my book, “The Levitan Pitch. Buy This Book. Win More Pitches.” have asked me how to present in the virtual world. Well, I am going to a bunch of experts to help me help y’all to win your next virtual advertising agency presentation and pitch.

First in what will be a multi-part series is a fantastic interview with the very experienced pitch consultant and, good for us, loquacious Lisa Colantuono of AAR Partners. Lisa covers many aspects of virtual selling. This might just be the most compelling interview I have done on Advertising Stories.

Lisa discusses how to manage what she calls the virtual “Brady Bunch” room; how to be human; body language management; what to do in advance of the session; how to create creative differentiation; backgrounds; and even, oh no, how to use online presentation tools like Powerpoint.

Bottom line? Just give this interview about how to run a virtual advertising agency pitch a listen. HEY —- Listen to this interview. Win more pitches.

Note, this is the first in my series on how to run a virtual presentation. Interviews with agency owners who’ve won virtual presentations to a brainiac neuroscientist’s perspective on making friends in the online sales world are coming. Stay tuned.

How To Be The Best Global Advertising Agency

By Leave a Comment

Want To Run A Global Advertising Agency Out Of Only One Office?

London Advertising, the crazily awarded global advertising agency (like being called the Agency Of The Year by The Drum year upon year) allowed its CEO Michael Moszynski to be interviewed by me right here on Advertising Stories. It helps that we worked together while having a few pints at Saatchi London in the way back. It also helps London Advertising that Michael’s Creative Director partner Alan Jarvie kicks butt as well.

Here are lessons on how to be distinctive; the value of the single-minded branded big idea; how to spend 25 years growing the massive Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group (and making it one of, if not the, most revered hospitality brands); how London advertises itself and how it kicks global / multi-office behemoths like WPP via one focussed office in London. Mantra = much more effective advertising for less. Not a bad sales pitch.

Really, there is not much more that I can say other than listen up. There are multiple teachable moments for any digital or “full service” advertising agency in this podcast. Pass it on to your mates.
