Body language sales training
1.5 hour training with outstanding FiBAN member.
Niko Visuri — a world-class trainer for business who blends performancewith business impact.
His style is energetic, engaging, humorous, yet strictlyprofessional. Imagine yourself in a sales meeting: in one version, your voice, bodylanguage, eye contact, and expressions act like a magnet,
building instanttrust. In the other, your signals are flat and unconvincing. The difference isn’t subtle — it’s the gap between convincing and being convincing.
