“The future does not equal the Past”

This is a great affirmation and can be very liberating. How often do we feel that if something has not worked in the past it will continue to be the same in the future. And deep down we know this not to be true as there is so much contrary evidence if only we are open to it. Again it is back to one of my previous bloggs, about where you focus your attention. Begin to change the focus of your attention and ask different questions such as "How could this work". It is then that suddenly things can ...

Alexander and the Terrible Horrible no good very Bad Day!

A year after I set up my business in 2000, My key client at the time sent me out to Sydney Australia to do some very successful training and coaching for their sales people. When I was leaving one of the sales people gave me a copy of "Alexander and the Terrible horrible very bad day" book for my children as a memento of my visit to Australia. My children still to this day absolutely love this book as a bed time story! Alexander's day starts off badly and just continues that way, is there someth...

Mrs Doubtfire

We all sat down as a family and watched probably for the third time the very entertaining film with Robin Williams -Mrs Doubtfire. In his roles in the film Robin Willimas has a brilliant ability to vary all the elements of voice delivery, accent, tone, energy, volume etc and produce some extroadinary impact on the listener. When you are on the phone how much can you vary your voice or even in a face to face meeting to have the desired effect? When you have a great call or meeting that goes your ...

Did You see “Phone Rage” last week on Channel 4?

I watched with great interest the programme on Channel Four last week about Call centres under the title "Phone Rage". Like everyone, I have experienced some of the frustration of the customers they interviewed who were going round and round in circles with a problem that never seemed to be resolved. Whenever this happens now,I leave the call centre path and seek out the real decision-makers or management who have some real power to do something about my problem. I will never forget when my mot...

“The Ultimate Sales Machine”

Chet's Holmes book is a great read! There are some great strategies in it. I particular like his emphasis around the discipline and the importance of making your calls regularly, he says every sales person should be doing at least 2.5 hours daily of New business development cold calling and above all tracking their progress. For me his strategy around time management has helped me enormously;  He  says, identify the 6 most important things you want to achieve during the working day and then work...
