Buying Facilitation® and Sales: the dynamic duo
| |
| Sales is a great model for understanding need, discovering problems, and introducing/placing solutions.
Buying Facilitation® is a great model for helping buyers navigate their behind-the-scenes political and relationship issues that must achieve buy-in before they get consensus to purchase a solution – you know, that mysterious stuff buyers go through privately while we sit and wait for them to buy.
By using both two models consecutively, selling and buying becomes a very different experience than the one we are accustomed to: the timing is different, the skills are different, the outcomes are different, the relationship is different and the competitive and money factors fade away. |

Is Something Weighing You Down?
| |
| In any professional relationship, issues inevitably arise from time to time that have the potential to create tension and conflict. It’s not the issues themselves that are the main cause for relationship breakdown but how you go about resolving them. Many of us struggle to effectively speak up about the issues that cause feelings of resent, frustration or downright anger, with the end result that what isn’t talked out gets acted out … in cheap shots, innuendos, moodiness or the “silent treatment," but these things often worsen the problem. |

Seeking Sales Answers - Beware The Charlatans!
| |
| Sales is a challenging and demanding business and any person who chooses sales, even as a last resort, is making a tough decision to depend almost entirely on his/her own efforts, pride and willingness to practice long enough to succeed. Predictably many salespeople seek inspiration, motivation, advice and skills to meet career challenges. There is plenty of advice available and much is useful and productive, but beware there are charlatans lurking in the weeds. They are principally recognisable by their exaggerated claims: "Come to our 1 day seminar and you too will become a sales superstar", "Attend my seminar and you will be able to sell anything to anybody any time" |

Young Men Struggle with WorkLife Balance Too
| |
| Is it true that women are the only ones in the workplace struggling to maintain a healthy work-life balance? It might seem so because women are traditionally viewed as the caregivers, childminders, and home-makers. Trying to balance all of those roles with the demands of work can truly prove overwhelming, even for the most adept multi-tasker. However, recent research would suggest that men - young men in particular - are also at risk for increased stress due to struggling with work-life balance. |

Career Bliss: Happily Ever Now What?
| |
| Trying to find the ideal job is like trying to find the ideal mate. Mr. Right may sound good on paper but off of it, his issues coupled with yours may overflow a newsstand. So what do you do?
1) Decide quickly based on the first few meetings that "he's just not that into you" or vice versa and keep looking OR
2) Date him to determine if the good outweighs the bad. If it does, make the most of it. If it doesn't, leave a bit wiser OR 3) Settle into an unsatisfying relationship because you feel it is safer than searching for someone else, or identifying what you want and pursuing it. So you redirect your discontent by focusing on your mate's issues, to avoid focusing on your own...believing that "treading water" in a bad relationship is favorable than swimming towards something better. |

Relationship = to relate with a significant other person lovingly everyday.
| |
| Look at it as a verb "to relate with a significant other person lovingly everyday" not a noun. It is a verb – continuous – you are in a relationship for as log as you are relating with this person. And if you are doing it so lovingly then you are in a goooood relationship!
Whose responsibility is a relationship?
50-50?
80-20?
In my opinion, each partner has to give 100% in order for a relationship to work.
A real loving relationship is a partnership of mutual support and mutual pleasure and mutual respect.
