Simon Sinek: [How Great Leaders Inspire Action](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qp0HIF3SfI4)** This talk if from back in 2009 but still rings true today. Simon speaks about why some companies and leaders can inspire. Answering the question about how knowing the "Why" can change the way individuals lead. **2. Amy Cuddy: [Your Body Language May Shape Who You Are](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ks-_Mh1QhMc)** This talk, while not directly about sales, focuses on the idea that body language affects your ability to feel confident. This idea can make a huge difference in your ability to be a great sales leader. Amy argues that if you can make fake it, you can become it.   **3. Eddie Obeng: [Smart Failure for a Fast-Changing World](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EjSuaeVfE9I)** Eddie's energy is incredibly infectious, and that alone should motivate most individuals. Eddie hi-lights how the world is changing more quickly than humans can comprehend. If you are struggling to understand productivity in this fast-paced world you want to hear him speak about the three significant changes we need to understand better.    **4. Ernesto Sirolli: [Want to Help Someone? Shut Up and Listen!](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chXsLtHqfdM&t=304s)** As salespeople, we often want to talk about our product and how great it is, but to be a brilliant salesperson you need to listen. Ernesto speaks primarily about aid and aid workers, but his talk smoothly glides into one of the most fundamental principles known to man, listening.  **5. Sheena Iyengar: [How to Make Choosing Easier](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pq5jnM1C-A&t)** Have you ever heard the term analysis paralysis? The idea is that you have way too much information to be able to make a decision. Sheena discusses how this problem can hurt your sales.

Her four principles to making choosing easier can make your sales higher. - - - [mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/5-ted-talks-for-sales-professionals%20&body=Check%20out%20https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/5-ted-talks-for-sales-professionals](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/5-ted-talks-for-sales-professionals%20&body=Check%20out%20https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/5-ted-talks-for-sales-professionals) - ### Services - [Kavaliro](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/kavaliro) - [Blog](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/blog) - [Staffing](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/staffing-2) - [Orlando](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/orlando-2) - [recruiting](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/recruiting) - [employment](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/employment) - [charlotte](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/charlotte) - [Community](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/community) - [Business](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/business) - [Tampa](https://blog.kavaliro.com/blog/topic/tampa) ### Sign up for our Newsletter Corporate Headquarters 12612 Challenger Pkwy Suite 400 Orlando, FL 32836 [407.243.6006](tel:407.243.6006) - Services - [Workforce Solutions](https://www.kavaliro.com/service/workforce-solutions/) - [Government, Defense & National Security](https://www.kavaliro.com/service/government/) - [Managed IT Services](https://www.kavaliro.com/service/it-services/) - [Project Services](https://www.kavaliro.com/service/project-services/) - [Salesforce](https://www.kavaliro.com/service/salesforce/) - Careers - [Job Board](https://jobs.kavaliro.com/) - [Working at Kavaliro](https://www.kavaliro.com/working-at-kavaliro/) - About - [Meet Kavaliro](https://www.kavaliro.com/meet-kavaliro/) - [Blog](https://www.kavaliro.com/blog/) - [Culture](https://www.kavaliro.com/culture/) - [Press & Awards](https://www.kavaliro.com/press-and-awards/) - [Locations](https://www.kavaliro.com/contact/) - [Contact](https://www.kavaliro.com/contact/) - [Privacy](https://www.kavaliro.com/privacy) - [EOE](https://www.kavaliro.com/eoe) - [Drug-Free](https://www.kavaliro.com/drug-free) - [FMSDC](https://www.kavaliro.com/fmsdc)
