Meet Barbara, a struggling CEO who can't seem to get her company's marketing off the ground. She knows her new product offer is good and how it will help clients. She can communicate about it with her team with fluidity and ease.

Her new mentor calls it a ""Silver Bullet,"" the one thing that will succeed when all other business negotiations fail. When it helps her to land a client meeting with her dream prospect, she realizes this technique is not merely about consulting skills. She realizes she has a secret weapon for closing the sale.

Whether you run a small business, are looking to attract others to a mission, or are seeking premiere public speaking gigs, this engaging fable will help you create momentum for your message and build the impact you know you're meant to have.

Find out how one sentence can turn your dream client into a ""yes""-and your message into a movement.
