Aside from being billion dollar companies, what do the following organisations all have in common?
– Uber

These companies were built on platforms: two-sided markets that are revolutionizing the way we do business. As digital networks increase in ubiquity, businesses that do a better job of harnessing the power of the platform will win. An indispensable guide, Platform Revolution charts out the brilliant future of platforms and reveals how they will irrevocably alter the lives and careers of millions.

- Do you find your sales difficult?
- Do you procrastinate about sending that introduction to a new organisation? Reluctant to make a follow up call to your customer on the proposal you sent? But for most people, their biggest challenge with sales is mastering their their own psychology. However when you are aligned with the right sales mindset and activities, your sales will increase as a natural consequence…
At the highest level of professional sport, there is very little difference between the physical prowess of each athlete.
We will cover the following:
- Sales Misconceptions
- How to “Manage your own Psychology” in Sales
- Case Studies and Examples you can action today
Research for this presentation is based on the following:
- To Sell is Human Daniel Pink
