The Sales Mindset How we can, and should all be salespeople
There are many misconceptions around the nature of sales and what it takes to be a salesperson. These misconceptions can prevent salespeople, or people who have some sales responsibility from achieving their ‘sales’ potential or even ‘selling' in the first place.
This empowering session dispels many sales myths including the concept of the ‘natural salesperson’, demonstrating that attitudes are often more important than attributes, and that the skills we lack can be developed through the right kind of practice.
It also explores attitudes to sales and reframes sales as a virtuous pursuit that brings potential value to clients. More than anything it examines why people fail to achieve sales outcomes - how they get in their own way, and how to remove these obstacles

Building Confidence and shifting your Emotional State
Many people believe that their emotional state is entirely dictated by external factors over which they have no control. For example, how often do we hear people say, ‘You make me angry/happy/sad’? In the workplace many develop and unconscious strategies that affect their emotional state and significantly affect their performance; typical examples include making telephone calls – particularly cold calls – and presenting or speaking in public.
This empowering session shows delegates how to take control of their emotional state, shifting to the best possible state to achieve highly successful outcomes at work and at home.
