    How to get the "big picture “by focusing on overall client outcomes rather than individual product (commodity or transactional) sales.

    The session will focus on these disciplines:

    • Probing to Determine Your Customer's Needs
    • Asking the Right Questions
    • Offering a Campaign or Continuity Program to Deliver the Outcome 
    • Building a Program or Campaign 
    • Price, Bidding & Competition 
    • Billing for Your Time 
    • Protecting Your Ideas 
    • Why discover more about Customer Needs? 
    • Why understand the concept of Outcome Selling vs. Product Selling? 
    • Understand the Outcome = Understand the Campaign 
    • Talk to the “economic buyer” or decision maker

    Virtually every major media outlet, from The New York Times to Vogue, now highlights stories celebrating merch. Why? “Merch madness” has entered a new era, where brand expression and personal identity create a bold opportunity for those who understand the cultural zeitgeist and learn to seize its power and use it effectively. As merch pros, if we prepare for this opportunity, we can reshape our selling positions and our businesses to reap extraordinary benefits now and in the future. Join Bobby Lehew as he shares examples from the world's best merch stories –from Johnnie Walker to A24 to Glossier and Apple– and learn how these brands embrace merch to cut through the noise of distraction to impact their fans who matter most.

    You’ll learn:
    1.How younger buyers now think about merch
    2.How the world now views merch and why that new perspective matters
    3.How fan-fueled engagement has radically reshaped the merch experience
    4.Why merch is the OG of social impact marketing
    5.How to think bolder, better, and bigger about the opportunities in 2024
    6.The #1 differentiator that will help you position your business to win
