Salespeople are infamous for making others feel bad.They cold call complete strangers to judge their business decisions and make them feel sorry and stupid for choosing their current provider. They feed on every negative emotion to get the only thing that matters: the sale. They treat their prospects like numbers, instead of living, breathing people.Unsurprisingly, people find salespeople annoying, pushy, and rude. Nobody likes them, and nobody likes buying from them.People buy from peopleThe only way to connect with your prospect is to act like a person instead of a salesperson, and treat them like a person instead of a sale.Like you, your prospects have emotions, which are often overlooked by salespeople who use old world techniques like sales scripts and automated messages. By addressing these human emot
Whilst the very best coaches have undertaken independently accredited training and or have years of experience with clients, new self-assessment questionnaires are coming available which is evolving coaching into a far more focused activity. And that is to the benefit of coach/client relationships for the following reasons:- Key Areas Results from assessments enable the coach and client to understand key areas for development and the client can then choose which will be most beneficial.Focus Assessments focus the coaching conversation on where it best adds value both to the individual and the organisation.Build on Success As well as areas when underperformance might be an issue, strengths are also identified and can be utilised to improve areas needing attention.

Let’s say we take the parallel cases of Steve and Sally. Steve and Sally were both assigned the same task in different departments: find a team building activity for the afternoon that fits their budget. Each manager added the only other condition: “it should be fun”.
But once Steve and Sally began to dig into the options they realized that their groups could do everything from shoot paintballs at each other, do a scavenger hunt, solve crimes, scale walls and climb ropes courses, go kayaking or canoeing, ride horses or cook a four-course meal. How would they decide?
Steve, hoping to make a choice that would please his boss, thought that since his manager liked golf, and since the golf course nearby had a nice restaurant, this would make a good afternoon outing. His group could play some holes, have dinner and awar
There is a saying that goes something like:"If you want to keep getting what you are getting, keep doing what you are doing?This means you don't make any changes to your business model and therefore can expect the same results as the previous year.If you want to improve your business you need to set doable goals.Here are 8 steps how to achieve your business goals in 2007.1.

Managers in the non-profit, association and business worlds need to persuade outside audiences with the greatest impact on their operations to their way of thinking. And then move those external stakeholders to take actions that help their departments, divisions or subsidiaries succeed.But that takes a very special plan, one that delivers results far beyond simple publicity placements.I’m talking about a blueprint, say, like this one that lets you broaden your public relations field of fire, putting its primary focus where it belongs, on your unit’s key external stakeholder behaviors: “People act on their own perception of the facts before them, which leads to predictable behaviors about which something can be done. When we create, change or reinforce that opinion by reaching, persuading and moving-to-desired- action the very people

I stumbled onto an online donnybrook at one of those entrepreneurs’ online discussion boards yesterday. And I just had to smile. People were going just nuts about whether a business plan is needed, what a business plan even is, who should write the plan, and other assorted topics.But before I repeat the comments I shared, let me just say that as a CPA with many business clients in the Seattle area I've done a bunch of business planning, have covered the subjects in books I've written like the super-sized version of QuickBooks for Dummies, and also covered the subject rather extensively in my book MBA's Guide to Microsoft Excel (which was used at several big business schools.)With that as background, let me share a handful of thoughts.Not All Business Plans Are EqualSo here’s a first thought. People often mean different thing

Have you been struggling to reach your goals and achieve the level of success you desire and deserve? Then use my Get CLEAR Process to get the results you want.Clear the Clutter. The first step in the process is to eliminate the clutter that takes up physical and mental space in your life. Your goal is to make room for your future by getting rid of the excess "stuff" that creates chaos in your surroundings and clogs your mind with overwhelm.To accomplish this, you'll want to first select an area to work on—whether that's your desk, your home office, or some other space that's in disarray—and then implement a sorting strategy to 1) throw away things you don't use or need; 2) give away or recycle items that someone else can use; and 3) place in file folders paperwork and other documents you need, and place in containers your tools of the tr
Sally realized that with so many choices she needed more information. She downloaded a team building planner’s resource guide at www.iloveteambuilding.com. This guide helped her clarify her group’s objectives. She went back to her manager with a few key questions:
“What is the number one reason that we are holding a team building session?”
“Are there any additional reasons?”
“Who will be participating in this team building session?
“What do we want them to get out of it?”
“What did we like about our last team building session and what didn’t work?”
Asking these questions got Sally more detailed feedback. Sally’s manager Sarah reflected that the department had recently been through a stressful period where everyone had worked long hours. Inter-office tensions had mounted and while they’d pulled through okay, she felt that that some of the group’s easy camaraderie had been compromised under the pr
