Beale’s Podcast

This month podcast is with Trevor Wilkins on Sales and Influence. Trevor runs Holis Associates and is one of the best sales and influence trainers I know.

He believes that really top sales people have two key sets of behaviours: the first is about personal behaviours, the second about working to a tight sales system or process.

Personal Behaviours include fearlessness, determination and integrity.

Process Behaviours are about have a defined process around every stage of the sales process, and about never wasting time – that is, if you’re not going to get a result, move on.

You can listen to the podcast from: Trevor Wilkins on Sales and Influence, and read the transcript from: Trevor Wilkins Sales and Influence Transcript.

Linchpin – Are You Indispensable?

‘Linchpin: Are You Indispensable?’ is Seth Godin’s latest publication and my favourite of his books so far.

The premise is that with the continual outsourcing of traditional ‘white collar’ jobs and tasks (which has a lot further to go), one of the ‘success factors’ for a career is becoming a ‘linchpin’ where you invent, lead, connect others, and continue to create order out of chaos.

Here is a list that leads to being indispensable:

  • Providing a unique interface between members of your organisation
  • Delivering unique creativity
  • Managing complex situations
  • Leading customers
  • Inspiring staff
  • Providing deep subject knowledge
  • Possessing a unique talent
I find Seth a great ‘ideas’ person: he won’t give you a process or a route to get there – but he will create a vision and maybe wake us up to the fact that what we’re doing now may not lead to the success we want.

I suggest the fearlessness, determination and integrity mentioned by Trevor (above) in the context of selling apply equally to being a Linchpin.

NLP Video: NLP Resources

To find out more about favourite NLP resources, watch and listen to a short video where I show Liam Beale some of the best NLP books and DVD’s. Just click on this video link: NLP Resources.

Coaching Network: Business Development

We’re recently added details of our business development coaching offer to the ExecCoach.net site. Whether you’re currently looking for a business development coach or not, if you’re interested in business development, you may find our business development checklist useful.

Again I’d be very interested in talking to anyone who is looking for coaching services (or who buys coaching services) who would be prepared to input to our future strategy. And of course I’d be delighted to talk to anyone who is looking for an executive or business coach now!

Definition of the Month: Transderivational Search

Transderivational search means the act of locating through meaning(s) which may not be explicit in a surface structure.

For example, when anyone says something to us, we have to unconsciously search for all the possible meanings to understand it. Some of these secondary meanings may have a strong impact on us although we’re consciously unaware of them.

You can see more definitions by following this link: NLP Training: Glossary A-Z

And Finally

As always, thank you for reading this. Spend a few moments thinking about which emotional and physical states will be most useful to you next month, and later on find yourself, without any effort, accessing them as they’re useful to you.

Remember it’s your unique experiences that contribute to the wisdom of the world.
