Purchasing Agents have always told salespeople that they go with the lowest price. When he asks them why they do this, they always tell him the same thing. "Because it works on every other salesperson until we met you."

Problems with Hiring the Turncoat

How To Have A Highly Productive Team
Before you start complaining that your team are causing you headaches and not performing the way you want, take a look at yourself first. Gary who runs a plumbing business has 5 staff. He was always complaining that they were lazy, didn't use their initiative and would take advantage of him. We had Gary fill in our 'Productivity and Leadership Profile'. This process allows each team member to anonymously answer questions about how they see Gary in many areas including his leadership abilities, communication, organisation, etc. The process also allows Gary to answer the same questions on how he sees himself.

How To Write A Brilliant Speech In Under 5 Minutes
The boss’s phone rings. You happen to be passing and you pick it up. “Is Gary there?” “No, he’s not around” “Well, it’s Andrea here, the HR Director and Gary is due to present his department’s roles and responsibilities to the new Graduates in 30 minutes. Can you hunt him down? Otherwise, I need someone else to stand in for him. Ring me back in 5 minutes and tell me what’s going on” The phone goes dead. You don’t know where Gary is. Panic and fear set in.
5 Timestealers You Must Avoid
Gary has a business, employing 7 staff. When he contacted me he was at a point where the stress from his business was so bad, that he would constantly wake up 3 or 4 times a night worried about everything ...his cash flow, staff, lack of clients and the affect all this was having on his personal well-being and family life. He didn't use a diary, had no way of planning and kept everything 'in his head'.Often his staff were idle because he hadn't spent time training them. That ensured the work didn't get done therefore causing Gary to lose clients.

Thought Leadership interview with Gary Bertwistle
Gary Bertwistle is one of Australia's foremost thought leaders on creativity. In 2001 Gary designed and built The Ideas Vault, Australia's first ever dedicated creative space, designed specifically for the generation of better ideas. In early 2007 Gary self-published his first book entitled 'The Keys to Creativity'. Gary's second book 'Who Stole my Mojo?', was released in June 2008. In June 2009, 'What Made You Think of That?' was published and Gary's latest book, 'The Vibe', has just been published. I interviewed him about his views on thought leadership. It is long but only because he has some great insights to share and has been abundant with his advice in this regard. This is what he had to say:

Is a climate of perpetual discounting limiting choice and eroding our quality of life?
Gerry Harvey, (Harvey Norman) was recently bemoaning the culture of discounting in our retail sector. He was saying that retailers had lost the plot and didn’t know how to sell real value anymore. He said they had fallen foul of a culture of constant discounting as the only way to attract customers, which was tantamount to business disaster and a degradation of the retail sector. I happen to agree with Gerry in this instance. He went further by saying that retailers were failing to find out what customers really wanted and what they really valued. He said retailers weren’t offering choice – a range of options of different value and therefore were not selling.

Gary explains what up-selling is and how you can implement it in your business.
