Once upon a time there was a wise old man who lived in a small, remote village. Like most wise old men, he had some not so wise folks that wanted to prove him wrong. In fact, there was a young man who devised a scheme to publicly shame the old man.
He captured a small bird from a nearby tree and quickly approached the old man.
Holding the bird behind his back he challenged the old man by saying “Tell me wise old man; is the bird alive or is it dead?” His plan was flawless because if the old man said alive, he would kill it and if he said dead he would release the bird. Both scenarios would surely prove the old man a fool.
The old man confidently pondered the situation and then calmly said “The answer lies in your hands”
As corny as this story is, I’d like to think that the wise old man’s answer pertains to you as well.
The answer lies in our hands when it comes to . . .
The level and quality of the activity we choose to apply to achieve our business and personal goals.
The answer lies in our hands with regard to our attitude.
The answer lies in our hands with regard to how we choose to respond to our challenges and setbacks.
The answer lies in our hands with regard to how we choose to treat those around us.
How we choose to balance family and business
And even . . .
Allowing ourselves to be vulnerable enough to ask for “Help!”
Newsflash;
The answer lies in our hands;
It has always been there!
Perhaps It’s Time???
I am NOT your typical coach!
I work with my clients in a very different way than traditional coaches!
A traditional coach will ask you lots of questions, and lead you on a path of self-discovery – while providing you with very little of what experts refer to as “answers!”
By the time people reach out to me, they have lots of questions of their own and could sure use some answers. That’s why I created a very different coaching format.
Here’s what our time together would look like:
- We’ll start off with a quick update from you. I’ll want to know what you’ve been up to, what’s challenging you, opportunities you’re in front of, etc so we can brainstorm.
- Next, we’re going to have some accountability by reviewing the action items from our last session.
- We’ll then dive right into either a sales lesson I’ve prepared for you or brainstorming a challenge or opportunity you’re facing.
- We’ll conclude the session with you telling me what you feel your action items should be. My job is to make sure you aren’t babying yourself while at the same time, aren’t working yourself into an early grave!
- Each session is approximately 45 minutes.
And YES, I coach sales leadership on everything from hiring sales rock stars, onboarding them, training them, coaching them, how to have killer sales team meetings, creating a performance culture, etc!
Between Sessions
- I’ll ask you to email me an update on your progress. You’ll receive feedback and additional email support. Our relationship will always extend beyond that time when the proverbial “meter is running.”
You’ll also receive occasional reinforcement emails, content, etc., from me.
What Makes Me Unique
For starters, I’m not one of these reps who sold for like 15 minutes and decided to get out and do something “safer,” I’ve been actively selling for 30+ years.
And I’m not someone who only cares about his paycheck turning the other way while you slack.
I recognize that no matter how great a training event might be, there needs to be a reinforcement component in order for training to ‘stick!’
In my program, we work – and you’re going to sweat.
I take my job as your coach seriously and I insist you take your time with me seriously too.
Not ready to make that kind of commitment?
Then stop here and do some soul searching!
