Wouldn't it be just great to attract high quality clients without really having to go through that whole rigmarole of "selling"?

"Debunking the myths behind how to influence people"
HSBC has teamed up with Chris Davidson of Active Presence Limited and leading law firm Lees Lloyd Whitley to create this special value-packed evening for the bank's highly valued clients based in and around Manchester. Chris is a dynamic inspirational speaker, award winning author and business motivator. He speaks internationally and has helped leaders from organisations such as Ernst & Young, the Bank of England and the Virgin group of companies develop their own highly persuasive communication styles. He is a Fellow of the Professional Speakers Association and past President of the North West Chapter.
Chris will talk about the importance of imagery in communication and persuasion and will also focus on the work of Dr Robert Cialdini, whose book "Influence: The Psychology of Persuasion" is the gold standard for works in this arena.
Leading North West law firm, Lees Lloyd Whitley, will also present some simple, highly effective tips on:
