Think & Act Differently with Sales Academy

It's all about the people right!? Until it isn't or for some sadly it never was. Yet it is and it should always be. People are the rock bed of everything good, so let's discuss how important they are to you and what relationships really mean to you & your business. #business #coaching businesscoaching #sales #salesacademy #salesforce #people #relationships #bethedifference

Ever had that... ? At times, you are the best version of you, you can be. Yet at times, you are the polar opposite to that! At times we are our own worst enemy. At times we are our greatest champion & cheerleader. At times, we don't need or want anything or anyone. At times, we cannot do it or be it on our own! I get it. I hope you do too. #realtalk #drseuss #selftalk #reflection #suicidep...

An even better question, perhaps, is what does significance or 'being of significance' mean to you? Let's put it another way. Do you ever question your value, your worth, your purpose? This is what we mean. Are you being of service, making a difference, having an impact. However you describe it, there is a deep rooted desire in all of us to be significant in some area. Have a think abo...

A tri-factor (is that a word or term) of things came together in conversations and listening to & reading books of late, and that is around the pursuit of happiness and the unhappiness that accompanies this. But why?  Is it that we are never satisfied? Could it be that always seeking more, leads to emptiness and a lack of fulfilment or is it that a tri factor of our values, our happiness...

I was gifted this phrase, in a conversation with an old colleague, sorry a previous colleague! (easy to read that wrong) After reconnecting on the work front for the first time since probably 2009 it was brilliant to catch up on old times, share stories, explore each others journey since those corporate days, and during the conversation I asked him, what triggered you to get in touch.  And he...

OMG am I tired of the 'grey brigade' (no not the oldies, but the old ways of thinking and behaving that come with that title). You know, the 'they' crowd!    There was a line in a song from the 80's by Snap, called "Rhythm is a Dancer" and in that line, this guy says:  "I'm a serious as cancer, when I say rhythm is a dancer'   That line always stuck with me from my teens, and l...

Vulnerability is not an easy door to walk through! What a friggin understatement and at 4am this morning, I got that reminder full volume in my own head! A raw and personal musing, but one I hope helps you, if you are feeling this. We don't live in Disneyworld, right!? #realtalk #selftalk #vulnerability #development #coaching #life #starttheconversation #grateful

'Is this a love story, or a one night stand?'   An interesting yet important topic that we discuss in our latest musing. And don't be misled by the title, there is depth here if you are willing to explore it!   #bethedifference #sales #business #training #coaching #salesacademy

Do you know the difference for you? Do you know the hidden risk of pleasure seeking?   Let's explore it and unpack it a bit and see how it lands for you.    #musing #podcast #business #life #mindset #salesacademy #dopamine #addiction #betterhabits

I may go a little Samuel L Jackson here, but this is important.    Chalk those lines. Re chalk them, because they become unclear Re chalk those motherf*cking lines because others will walk over them!   I feel this is an important musing to share, a topic that regularly shows up with adults, who for whatever reason. Life getting busy, changes in relationships and working groups, cust...

What a fab topic to discuss and haven't we discussed it in many different ways as part of the Sales Academy Family, our Tribe, our community of business owners and leaders.    But for you, does or should LOVE exist in business?  How do you feel about even the word being introduced and discussed in business?    Let us know your thoughts?    #salesacademy #sales #m...

Screw the To Do's! Be the To Be's! Tired of writing to do lists and then not fulfilling you? Find To do's a little bit like an overbearing authority that you've created yourself that you know have to complete tasks for your grown up imaginary friend! I did. So I walked, I reflected, I meditated, I slept on it and I got in the shower (my nighttime meditation, anchors me to the shower in the morning...

Some people we meet have no awareness right? But what about the ones who claim to have awareness?    I'm talking coaches, trainers, therapists, people who work with people, and have a decent level of understanding of human beings and behaviours. they know this stuff, or they should, as it is 'their industry', people are 'their thing'.   So why is it that we so often see people in th...

Have you ever tried to reason with the unreasonable? How did that work out? Do you find that it is always other people or situations that are unreasonable? How can we evaluate? How can we come at this differently? What is required to get a better aligned outcome? Enjoy this one...love to hear your thoughts. Get in touch.  #Business #Life #musings #podcast #vlogs #mindset #behaviour #ownership...

Wow... that one hit like a brick. The awesome Frank Lampard in his second interview for the podcast show "The High Performance Podcast" which you can find here and I highly recommend it to anyone and everyone...subscribe to it and pop it on when you run, drive or even clean the house or DIY!  Episode link: https://open.spotify.com/episode/3TP9g1QGT0ejuz9RTDWX4d?si=QSXpyO8VS4-ApsuEb-V9Ng...

Interesting topic for todays musing and one that I can honestly say, rears its head fairly regularly in conversations with lots of good human beings... Let me know what comes up for you when you listen to this one! Feel free to pop in a comment or drop us a message. #realtalk #musings #podcast #business #SalesAcademy #sales #coaching #coach #coaches #coachinglife #mirror #life

What a crazy title for a podcast episode, from a sales training company, right! Wrong! You may think that, however, I challenge you to listen in and understand fully what we mean by this.  For too many years, sales and sales training has been about tips, tricks, gimmicks, techniques - (omg even the words make me cringe!) delivered in one day workshops that tick a box for 'support and developm...

We are all control freaks!  Whether we like it not, it's a reality that we grow into if we choose the continual personal development path.  Our need for control is a part of survival, part of growth, part of life! The varying degrees to how we allow our desire for control, to effect our lives and the lives of others around us, varies between people.  So we need it, it's positive, it...

Interesting musing today.... One of self reflection, together with the deeper understanding and separation of 'we are not what we choose to do' and yet 'we can become who we choose to be'. There is no guarantee that who we are becoming and what we are choosing are good things.  It doesn't mean we are not deserving of love!  think about it... #life #business #love #choices #ownership #ext...

Three simple swim lanes, for you to map out your lead generation ideas and give you the best opportunity to organise and structure the logical process behind the emotional decision making that is a 'buying process'.  Notice I said, buying process not selling process, because, all sales is about understanding and implementing good buying processes for your audience, your prospects, your custom...

A simple and yet powerful principle to carry forward and review regularly in your business.  All three are important and normally, one effects the other, but are you considering all three when you need to.  Take a listen.    #business #education #focus #mindset #businessprinciples #coach #coaching #businessowner #businesscoach

Ever had this...where something has happened, that literally took up ten seconds of your time, ten minutes maybe, and you chose to hold onto it all day and allowed it to ruin your day!   That is a choice, and our superpower (or one of them!) is choice!    If the subject today resonate with you and you want to learn how to deal with this stuff better, I can highly recommend Angie Hay...

Let's see if the 'judgers' get involved and comment without listening or engaging in the content!  OK so the title may be a little provocative in its title, but the reality is very much one of choice. I would love to hear your thoughts, views and how you utilised speaking as part of your marketing mix.  #business #speaking #marketing #professionalspeaking #motivationalspeaker #sales #opp...

I can't believe I reached my mid 40's before I had heard of this, but what a simple and yet powerful principle, used in sport, that applies in all aspects of life.  Do you know the acronym for BIG? A term used in rugby coaching and training, a simple and powerful principle we can all apply. #coaching #training #principles #performance #musings

'Not all plans, go to plan!'  In military terms 'A plan fails at the first contact with the enemy'   Two things I heard Bear Grylls say in an interview recently that resonated with me.   We talk about plans all the time, it's part of the business DNA, however, we are sensible to the approach that a plan isn't fixed and rigid, it's fluid, it's evolving, it changes!   W...
