Selling Is The Heart Of Your Company

Every day I make sure I find time to read and research. It’s an investment that keeps on paying. Today, I was exploring some of the some of the ideas I have gleaned from reading Joe Vitale, one of my favourite authors on influential language and copywriting. He has some wonderful ideas on using keywords in Blogs like this one to attract more traffic and I stumbled upon this article about Sales and Sales Training. Written 2 years ago by Grant Cardone in the Huffington Post it is more relevant today than ever. The gist of it is “The individual and organization’s survival is dependent upon the organization’s ability to sell products despite the economy.” Here, here Grant Cardone you smart thinking man you. I couldn’t have said it better myself… so I won’t. Here is the link: http://huff.to/SQdiM. Have fun today and do great things.

Presenation is at the Core of Dan’s Success

As I was setting up the room for the event yesterday, I recognised Dan as I passed the water cooler and immediately recalled him as a delegate at a prior Gravitas & Personal Impact event. “Come and meet my boss” said Dan, full of enthusiasm and energy, “… she already knows about you and TALENTStream”. Helen stood up and shook my hand and immediately told me the story of Dan’s amazing performance at a presentation he did to a large group of key stakeholders and senior managers… “I don’t know what you did to him but he was amazing, he walked and talked as if he owned the stage and he went down a storm, this is a new Dan” enthused Helen. Dan smiled, slightly embarassed by the open praise and reminded me of how nervous he was about the imminent presentation while he was at the training. I congratulated him on his achievement and recognised a level of confidence I hadn’t seen in him before. The transition was complete and he knew that he had been noticed and was driving his profile and value higher in the business. Time was pressing and we parted promising to stay in touch.

Intrigued by the success story, last night I looked back at my notes from the event and saw that Dan had delivered an outstanding performance in the 2-8-20 activity in our 1-Hour Presentation Workshop that is part of the Gravitas event. In the activity Dan simply learnt to hold a conversation as if it was 1 on 1 over a coffee while moving through various audiences of differing sizes and behaviours. This conversational style is at the core of confident delivery and is easy to learn and use. Dan commented at the time that this had changed his approach to audiences and he immediately leapt in confidence.

Dan had obviously taken the leap with his learning to the stage on the day he delivered what his boss called “Amazing” and at that moment, his confidence and contribution grew and with it his Gravitas and Personal Impact. It is fabulous to meet delegates who have used their learning so well, who feel the benefits themselves and deliver even more value to their business. Good job Dan. Do great things.
