"Selling is.. Just a Conversation"

Hugh Gyton


Selling is Just a conversation

Do you find some people easier to talk with than others?

Can some people just ‘get your back up’ without really trying?

Struggling to get engagement from your team?

Even when you put all your best conversational skills to use you will still find some people easier to talk to than others. It’s simply because of your respective conversational M.O.D.E..  Just like our personalities, some conversational M.O.D.E.’s are compatible and some clash.  Some people are easy to build rapport with and some are more challenging.

With every conversation being an opportunity to improve,damage or maintain your relationship it is imperative to know how to get the best result every time.  The Conversation Game is a FUN and interactive way to gain an understanding of how we personally communicate and the impact our M.O.D.E. of conversation has on others.

What will you learn?

  • what your M.O.D.E. of conversation is
  • how to read other people’s M.O.D.E.
  • the ability to‘flex’ your M.O.D.E. to leverage the best result you can from the conversation
  • practical, immediately implementable techniques to get better results from every conversation

Whether it is; with our children, business colleagues, clients, friends, or even ourselves - the conversations we choose to have are fundamental to our success in life.  Hugh is a thought leader in getting people comfortable in controlling conversations that matter, building trust, and ultimately experiencing more out of life.  

Adaptable to any situation, Hugh Gyton is a dynamic, articulate and creative conversation coach.  
Professional and polished from 30 years experience running businesses in three Continents of
the globe, his enthusiasm, quick- thinking and innovation will guarantee you more money and
results from every conversation. Success is Just a conversationTM.

"Kickstart Your 2010! - 4 simple steps to kickstart your year"

Brian Maguire

4 Simple Steps to Kickstart your Year!

Did you have a great year in 2009 or was it a little ordinary?
Was last year your best year yet – or did you hang on by the tips of your fingers?
Did you slide into Christmas at full speed, champagne in hand singing “Oh what a Year” – or did you crawl into Christmas weary and worn out wondering would you ever get the breakthrough, gasping “oh What a year”?

Do you know it doesn’t really matter!
2010 is a brand new year and you can use the lessons from last year – uplifting OR challenging, to Kickstart Your Year and give you juice and passion and momentum for this year.

•    If it was your best year yet, 2010 can be even better,
•    If it was one of your worst, 2010 can be your best yet.
•    And if it was ok or so-so, 2010 can be the year it really took off.

What’s in it for You (WIIFY)?
•    A powerful list of First Steps you can take this week to get you going
•    Some unique insight on how to make momentum work for you
•    A list of the 2/3 major lessons learned from last year
•    "The mind is not a vessel to be filled but a fire to be kindled." Brian will help you light a fire of passion, enthusiasm and drive to take you through 2010 like never before!

Karin Slade

Tuesday 12th January 2010

Karin Slade is kick starting the new year with the “Clean Sweep”. Karin has been using and encourages others to use this program regularly.  The clean sweep is a personal diagnostic and a tune-up for your life.

Are you ready to clean up your life?

The Clean Sweep Program is a checklist of 100 items which, when completed, give one complete personal freedom. These 100 items are grouped in 4 areas of life with 25 in each group: Physical Environment, Well-being, Money and Relationships. These 4 areas are the cornerstone for a strong and healthy life and the program helps a person to clean up, restore and polish virtually every aspect of your life.

Warning - Do You Realize How Much Clutter,
Unfinished Projects, Business Bottlenecks and Other Nagging
Issues Could Be Costing You?

You Could Be Losing Hundreds of
Thousands of Dollars in Lost Productivity,
Wasted Time, Late Payment Fees and Even
Lost Clients and Sales!

Solution? Take our free Clean Sweep Challenge at Northern Beaches Business Swap this week!
 
Dear Swapper….

Does any of this sound familiar?

• You’ve recently acquired a new computer. In all your excitement, it didn’t dawn on you that you have over twelve downloaded software upgrades you now have to track down to get your entire system working on your new computer. You also have hundreds of email addresses that now need to be set up properly in your new Microsoft Outlook.
Cost: Not having these tools set up is costing you tons of time and frustration. Getting annoyed is draining your energy. After awhile you realise you’ve spent hours running around in circles getting nothing accomplished.
-----------------------------------------------
• You've lost the battle with clutter. There are stacks of papers all over your office. Bills are getting lost because you don’t have time to file them. You need a warranty card from six months earlier and can’t find it anywhere. New clients and orders are getting lost, which isn't good for the bottom line. The big problem is you don’t have time to slow down and get things cleaned up.
Cost: You’ve spent way too much time looking for missing items, lost financial opportunities, extra banking fees, etc. You may have lost a client or prospect due to lack of organisation.
-----------------------------------------------
• There's a dent on your car. Every time you see that dent you feel annoyed. You remember (again) backing out of the shopping center when a hidden pole jumped out and hit your car. You then think to yourself, “I really have to get that dent fixed.” You think through the steps of: get a quote from the smash repairers, rent a car, and take car in to get fixed. Not to mention what the cost is going to do to your bank account.
Cost: This situation is an energy drain. Energy is seeping out towards an unresolved issue and is costing you by putting you in an annoyed mood. One thing leads to another and you have a pile of emotionally disturbing thoughts trailing through your head.
-----------------------------------------------
• You have a list a mile long of projects you have started and not finished. Of course you have already identified that they are good money makers and deserve your attention. You started in good faith but half way through you realised that you are missing some data, need a website or had to wait on someone else. Six months later these projects are still sitting there, distracting you, calling out to get finished and start making money.
Cost: Incomplete projects drain you, cause you to get distracted and overall become a sense of anxiety. Too much of this gives you a headache or a sick feeling that can only be overcome with a long dose of Oprah and a bucket of ice cream.
-----------------------------------------------

If it does, then I don't want you to feel bad. Instead I want you to get excited. Because we have the solution…. See you Tuesday!
