The Price of Influence

The Real Currency of Progress

In business, influence works much like pricing. Before anyone will ‘buy’ into an idea, they need to understand its value. In this session, Claire draws powerful parallels between the process of pricing a product and the process of gaining buy-in for ideas. She takes audiences through the same disciplined steps used by pricing professionals — from identifying the right customer and uncovering their real problems, to articulating value in a way that resonates and drives commitment.

Influence isn’t luck, persuasion, or charm. It’s a structured process. By thinking like a strategist, not a persuader, professionals can shift from hoping for agreement to earning it — creating genuine alignment that lasts.
