Neen’s Keynote Topics

Attention Pays™ – Elevating Experiences to Accelerate Results 

To get the results you want, you need to get the attention of your potential clients. Too often, we see attention as a transaction, or something to trade. The truth is, it’s much more complex than that. When it comes to building connections and long-term loyalty, attention is not a luxury, it’s a necessity

To really get the attention and buy-in of your team and clients, you need to appeal to them on three different levels: personal, professional, and global. 

Neen James has designed a professional methodology to make it easier to leverage all three, helping individuals and organizations to be more deliberate about the choices they make and the actions they take. 

The result? With the gift of your attention, you’ll see increased profitability, productivity, and accountability within your organization — you’ll develop luxurious, memorable experiences for your clients, gaining their loyalty and advocacy. 

You’ll learn:

  • Why we get attention wrong (and how to get it right)
  • The three types of attention and how to master each 
  • Strategies to design your environment for elevated attention and focus
  • How to show attention to every client so they understand everyone deserves to be treated with luxury
  • A simple framework to elevate every sales conversation and articulate your value

Luxury Pays: How to get the attention of the luxury mindset that’s right for your brand

In the world of luxury sales, it’s tempting for brands to focus on the products and services themselves. For some, the word luxury means indulgent and unnecessary, and for others it’s everyday and an essential. 

What if we told you that luxury isn’t about expensive things—it’s about experiences? That everyone deserves to be treated with luxury? And every experience can be elevated by speaking to and adopting a luxury mindset?

We can all agree that the most luxurious experiences are rooted in the attention paid to creating them — the details and personal touches that show someone that you understand them. The gift of attention can elevate every experience, and makes people feel more connected to you and your brand. When it comes to building connections and long-term loyalty, attention is not a luxury, it’s a necessity.

Join sales and leadership strategist Neen James as she uses her proven systems of attention and her proprietary research on the luxury buyer mindset to help you create exceptional experiences that pay the right attention to clients and guests, capturing not only their business, but their long term advocacy as well. 

Neen will help you: 

  • Develop a luxury attention mindset for teams that elevates every client interaction
  • Appeal to luxury consumers in their own unique language
  • Leverage your assets to best communicate to consumers
  • Understand the unique opportunities that encourage customers to pay for exclusivity
