Why CharismaQ

Greater Productivity

Increased Engagement

Better Sales Outcomes

"Best executive presence training I've seen so far - great for this virtual time. It was so much more than "this is how to do a Zoom call". CharismaQ helped our team prepare to be "live" for virtual meetings, to consider the message being delivered and to deliver the content in the best way. A true blend of science and art."

Amy - AVP, Customer Experience National Insurance Carrier

"The ability to be confident on camera/video in combination with the challenges of technology is a game changer for me. I know it will take some time, but I also know I'm not alone. I'm excited to learn more and develop these critical skills."

"We need more from the Charisma Q team. I hope this is part of the national sales meeting. This is the type of thing we should be spending valuable time on, some of the executives need this training. Thank you!"

Our Solutions

We work to uncover the inner charismatic genius in everyone. We do this by offering a number of solutions including:

Our Components

Authenticity

You have to be true to who you are. Your gender, your ethnicity, your story, and your personal brand are all key to connecting with others.
We help teams build and deliver their personal core values – because let’s face it – everyone can spot a phony!

Message Alignment

No doubt your company has spent thousands of dollars creating a brand, a vision, and key marketing messages. Now it’s time to put your money where your mouth is – your customer-facing teams. The CharismaQ platform evaluation makes sure your team can say your mission with confidence.

Empathy

Your team’s ability to understand what your buyer is thinking, feeling and doing – is powerful. Everyone wants to be heard. Unfortunately, 87% of buyers don’t think the seller understands their needs.

First Impression

Your team only has seconds to impress your customers. Research studies show we all make surprisingly accurate assessments of a person’s abilities with our first interactions. How would you rate the way your team dresses, their grooming, their posture, their handshakes, and their body language?

Confidence

True confidence comes from inside. High performers boost their confidence by preparing, practicing, and building upon their past successes. The CharismaQ coaching and communications platform allows our members to track their prep and practice time leading to more confidence and greater win rates.

Delivery

Your vocal quality, your volume, your pace, your enunciation, and your choice of words separates you from the competition. Over-using fillers words and phrases such as “like, you know, ah, so, kinda” doesn’t build buyer trust. Our mission is to build a world of confident communicators.
