This 90-minute seminar will provide insights and best practices for marketers to develop sales messaging that will help salespeople be more effective in convincing prospects to change and choose their products. Attendees will specifically learn how to establish a buying vision that loosens the status quo by creating messages that spur action, developing their distinct point of view and delivering it in a high-impact way.

"I am very excited about Tim's upcoming MarketingProfs seminar," said Matthew Grant, Ph.D., managing editor for MarketingProfs. "He is an engaging speaker with a wealth of industry experience and I believe his approach can help our audience improve their marketing messages and work more effectively with their sales teams."

With more than 20 years of marketing and sales experience, Riesterer is the author of the best-selling books "Customer Message Management" and "Conversations That Win The Complex Sale," which focus on improving market-ready messages and providing tools that marketers and salespeople can use to create a compelling story that wins more deals.

"Recent research has found that 53 percent of purchase decisions are made based on sales conversations, which are more influential than price, brand and product quality combined," said Riesterer. "This has serious implications for marketing and messaging efforts. To improve sales conversations, marketers need to provide salespeople with the story and skills needed at the most difficult points in the customer buying cycle."
