Selling for non Salespeople

Each day technically brilliant and smart people are hired to do great things in their jobs. But then comes the dreaded sales part, when they are expected to hit those KPIs and targets, without having been taught how. An IT Consultant at a consulting firm may have all the necessary skills to analyze how computer systems work within a company. But do they have the necessary skills to negotiate a deal once they make it to partner? A recruitment consultant may have the people skills but needs to know how to pick up the phone and market their job seeker. Or an entrepreneur who just quit a secure job and has to go out and hustle.

This is not your typical sales coaching training where it just teaches you sales techniques but digs deeper into the core issue, which all starts with mindset. We teach you psychological and NLP techniques in how to deal with rejection, resilience and develop the mindset to set you up for success. As well as all the sales and communication techniques which will drive growth, whether it's through your own business or KPIs at work.

This 30-day online program was designed specifically for those who are not your typical sales people but may have to sell, build relationships or influence as part of their job.

WHO WE WORK WITH
Management Consultants, Mortgage Brokers, Real Estate Agents, Recruiters, Financial Advisors, Accountants, Entrepreneurs, Case Managers, Consultants, IT Personnel, Engineers, Bankers, Stock Brokers, C-suite execs, Lawyers, Partners, and anyone who needs to sell themselves, idea, people, services, or products to others.

But most importantly, we don’t believe in knowledge collection, but implementation and results.

I write about people's pain ► Father of 4 ► INFJ

After recognizing my path was leading me away from God and my highest potential, I knew I had to make a change or risk losing a full life lived.

In August of 2017, on the heels of a painful second divorce, loss of a child, and multiple job losses, I decided to walk away from a toxic work environment and 26 years of working for others across multiple industries.  
 
As a father of 4, I walked away with NO job in hand.  
 
I answered a call to take His hand, get out of the boat, walk on water, and help others achieve their own breakthrough.  
 
The day I walked away back in 2017, I began looking for a new opportunity on LinkedIn.  I had written more than 2000+ journals about my life, losses I had endured, and subsequent learnings in tandem.  
 
As a result, I began to share those with the LinkedIn community.  
 
The rest is history.....,

Words of wisdom:  The 💙 can be fickle.  So, don’t follow it. Lead it.

This is a post out of desperation. I have exactly 2 weeks left to secure employment before I have zero income. if anybody has any leads on anything please reach out.

I am looking for something in the private investigator field or operations management. I’m great at administrative work. I am looking for remote or hybrid but I am open to all.

🤍 God is attracted to the poor. 

🤍 God is attracted to mourning.  

🤍 God is attracted to the low in spirit. 

🤍 God is attracted to the sick of heart. 

🤍 God is attracted to open hands to Heaven. 

And like water, His Grace flows to the lowest of places. 

For me, this isn’t empirical even though He made/makes and keeps His promises. 

Instead, it is just something of Faith for me handed down from my mother who loves her children, handed down to her, and so on. 

And Faith?

Faith is the hand that takes, like a child in absolute trust and rest. 

Does this mean we can do whatever whenever?  Not really. 

Instead, it means no matter of our stuff or stuffs, we can’t EVER out-sin the love He has for one of His greatest and most cherished ideas:  us.

He is RISEN!

A recent study by Brunel University in the UK suggests that individuals who frequently share gym selfies and post about their workouts may be dealing with psychological challenges. 

The study found that those who regularly post updates about their workouts are primarily motivated by showcasing their physical appearance or the dedication they put into maintaining it. 

This fixation on appearance and attractiveness is identified as a trait of narcissism. 

The study also elaborates that "narcissists more frequently updated about their achievements, which was motivated by their need for attention and validation from the Facebook community."

Questions to expose toxicity in job interviews:

“How does the company respond when team members routinely work beyond working hours?”

“What are the “small wins” in this role and how are they encouraged?”

“Which leadership qualities do you value the most?”

“What’s the process to resolve peer to peer disagreement or conflict?”

“The last best internal idea: what was it, how was it implemented, what were the outcomes, and how are more of the same fostered?”

What would you add?

Which is more important?

Sometimes an 80% "we are moving forward" imperfect plan is better than a 40, 50, 60% stuck in paralysis, "we are not moving forward.....this will one day be a perfect and I will look like a hero 🦸‍♀️ 🦸” plan.

Posts with “I don’t know who needs to hear this…..”


Are arrogant at best, disingenuous at worst. 

YES YOU DO know who needs to “hear this!”

Truth is, you think or want everyone to “hear this” because you think your brilliant enough to preface like that. 

You think you are the first person to think or post it AND we were all waiting for you and your moment. 

Takeaway?

Clever marketing tricks are tired and usually just condescend to your audience. 

💯

Most problems aren’t “complex.”

At least some common problems aren’t as complex as some people want them to be. 

So, when someone tells you “it’s more complex” than the position you took/take, especially when yours is empirically supported, rest assured you are probably engaging with someone who may sense a gap in their own understanding, yet not realize it. 

This is especially true when they didn’t or don’t even affirm or acknowledge what your said or say. 

And usually, not always, it’s time to walk if not 🏃🏼. 

It’s time to walk because the person I’m describing is perhaps too insecure to consider other ideas beyond their internal or social media applauded echo chamber. 

Perhaps they are desperate to validate their position, education, intelligence, or life in general. 

Who knows?

But when someone condescends with “it’s more complex than that,” you just learned something about them.

Riddhi Patel threatened the Bakersfield City Council with going to their houses and ending their lives.

But I think she was a little surprised they arrested her.

At the time, I think she had her little antenna up and thought:

“Well, the radical pro-Hamas can take over the Golden Gate Bridge. The Bay Bridge doesn't do anything. They can go into a law deans private home at Berkeley and shout him down. The trans people drove out Judge Duncan. If you're Jewish, you have to hide in the library at Cooper Union. We took over the Manhattan Bridge at one point. We can do anything, and nothing happens.”

“So when they didn't listen to my little petition about Israel, divest, and defund, I decided to tell them what I think: we're going to your house to permanently hurt you.”

Well, that's a direct threat to public officials.

While she has all of DEI's baggage, the Asian American chairwoman of the Bakersfield City Council, to her credit, said, “Nope! That's a threat. Be gone!”

So, they arrested her, and now she's looking at multiple felonies.

For each one, it can mean YEARS in PRISON.

She's 28, and suddenly, she cries, “This isn't fair. I can't believe you do this.”

The point?

All of these people are elites. For all of their protestations as social justice warriors, guess what?

They aren’t. They're careerists and grifters. But they're terrified of getting a felony on their record, being deported, or losing their student visa.

This shows how it just takes ONE brave person, and their entire fake facade crashes.

We're starting to see some of this with the Columbia president. She testified, and they thought they tried to embarrass her with an anti-Semitic, pro-Hamas demonstration.

So she thought, "They're breaking the law and violating our statutes. Arrest them."

Once that takes place, all of these people who get in your face when you walk across campus and yell at you, who wear costumes or Antifa garb, any deterrence exposes how they are just careerists. They're upper-middle-class and DEI-entitled children.

They feel they can say and do anything they want,

NOW, all of a sudden, a few voices in the wilderness said, “No, you are threatening civilization and order, and we're going to arrest you."

These entitled "academics" are not like those before them who shrugged, "screw you, arrest me, I don't care.”

Nope!

They're fragile little hothouse plants.
And she's one, so she's reduced to tears.

What did she think those people in the council felt like when she got up there and said, “We're going to come to your house, and we're going to m@$8er you.”

They didn't know what capabilities she did or didn't have.

Now, all of a sudden, we're supposed to think, “Oh, she's crying. We're sorry. We know you didn't mean it. You get to go back to your nonprofit, call us names, and do it again next week.”

Maybe there's some sanity and a ray of sunlight in this fog of madness that we've seen.
