Coping With Stage Fright
When you are asked to speak in front of a group – whether it is six people or hundreds of people do, you get nervous? If you answered yes, you are in good company. Stage fright is a normal, natural reaction and even helpful – once you learn to use it to your advantage instead of your destruction.

Ready Aim Fire How to Professionally End Your Working Relationship with a Client
One of the most predictable, sure fire ways to get a room full of professionals and business owners to sweat is discussing the firing of a client who drives them crazy. Some clients cost more than they could ever pay them in fees. We have all had these types of clients. Professionals and business owners sweat over this, as do most business people, because it is a painful situation that we will do anything in our power to avoid.

Don’t freeze when it comes to cold calling
Cold calling. Two words that even the most hardened of sales professionals dread. They say more people are afraid of public speaking than anything else but the idea of telephoning a person you’ve never met, and somehow “persuading” them to buy something from you, leaves many business owners in a cold sweat.
Lesson #4: Use Failure As A Catalyst for Success
“Luck is a dividend of sweat,” said Kroc. “The more you sweat, the luckier you get.” Despite all his hard work, Kroc was not always a lucky man. From his early days in starting up McDonald’s to even after the chain was a well-established global presence, Kroc experienced his fair share of failures. He was not immune to disappointment; what set Kroc apart from his competitors, however, was how he learned from his failures and bounced back.

Publishing Your Prices – the Sequel
In "Get Over Yourself and Publish Your Prices Already," I satirized the notion that prices are something you only disclose when the prospect out and out asks for them, usually as he breaks into a cold sweat. Some people applauded me, and some blatantly disagreed. Perhaps I should clarify my position: Who are we the business owners to tell prospects how and when they get to know the price?

Sales Training London: Why I Plan to Fail Often and You Might Too
If you've ever wondered why you're failing in sales, why you struggle to get customers to buy form you, why you get beaten up on price, your competition steal business from under your nose, if you find yourself giving away your best ideas ... for free and your prospects no longer have a reason to pay you for your services, this article will probably feel familiar.

Warm Up to Cold Calling
Cold calling: For many of us, the word "cold" is the key. Just the thought of picking up the phone sends a chill up our spines. Unfortunately, if we approach cold calling with an attitude of negativity, we’ll communicate that attitude to the prospect.

6 Proven Ways to Conquer Your Fear of Public Speaking
Cicero, renown world speaker and philosopher said, "I turn pale at the outset of a speech, and quake in every limb and in all my soul." Read Exodus to learn about Moses' fear of public speaking. John Dryden described his fear of public speaking this way, "Whenever I speak a cold sweat trickles down all over my limbs as if I were dissolving in water." I know how it feels to have running stomach, sleepless nights and disappointed audience.

What approach should I take when cold calling?
I encourage people to cold-call by coming from a place of 'contribution' first; I call this approach 'buying-in'. In highly resistant sales executions, like cold-calling, you have to buy-in before you can successfully sell-in because the mass of cold-callers that have gone before you, have trained your customers to ignore you.
Are You Stalling Due To Fear?
We’ve all experienced fear in our lives. Most of it though is not beneficial to us. I know you’ve had this feeling…It starts in the pit of your stomach, you feel a little queasy, you start to notice your hands shaking a little and maybe you’re breaking into a cold sweat. Fear is overcoming you. How do you know? You decide to not go ahead with whatever it is you were doing when it started and you start to feel a little better. Fear got it’s way and you stopped the exciting new venture you were about to leap into.
The More You Sweat, The Less You "Sweat"
You've heard that wonderful expression, "Don't sweat the small stuff... and it's all small stuff!" In fact, I'm pretty sure some writer has made a boatload of money with little books bearing similarly-worded titles. But the fact is, if you own a business - or if your leadership mission is a challenging, "entrepreneurial" one - you have to sweat the small stuff. It often seems as though your business and mission depend on it....
