Know Yourself - Then Learn About Others

Personal Branding is a useful tool, to help you promote yourself, no matter what industry you are in. It is a promise of what you do, and how you do it. The person / people you are dealing with want to know about you before they will entertain listening to what product or service you have to offer, and this is particularly important for sales people, and we all have to sell or promote sometimes. Personal Branding is a way of discovering who you are, it is like holding a mirror to yourself and pulling out the good points, so you focus on those then eliminate the others. You will be able to understand what you have to offer and why that is important to your colleagues, clients, contacts. Its a process that leads to action. To find out how this all works, you might like to look at the books section on this site. Here you will find 'a Useful Guide to Personal Branding' a workbook, with tool kit and on line questions that both you and people who will find your brand important can answer. The site feeds back your assessments. What better investment is there than in yourself? How can you claim to do anything well, if you do not know who you are and how you are doing?

Do Sales People Need Personal Brands?

Personal brands are all about YOU! What you stand for, how different you are, and how you are going to do business. They create the frame for you to do business. Without knowing who you are - your 'personal brand' - how can you present anything else? Article at www.modernselling.com front page, on why sales people do need a personal brand before attempting sales.

'A Useful Guide to Personal Branding' is written for everyone who wants to start their own business, improve their status with clients or their employers. As well as all the information in the guide, there is an exercise section at the end of each chapter and a toolkit too. Its available from the book section here.

Do let me know what you think of the article and whether you would like an article on your site, or magazine.

R U Doing what you really want?

How many of us are really where we want to be?
Are you? What about your career, life, relationships? How often do you think about doing something else or additional to what you are doing now?

All of this resistance creates conflict within us, which you may think doesn't notice but it does. Your body holds all the burdens from this, and over time it will do something that you do not like, e.g. pain in the shoulder, twinge in the knee, or arms less flexible, and we hurt our hands, it goes on....

To help you move on from this behaviour and break through your patterns, I with a colleague am running a training workshop on the Monday 18th July in Central London.

Imagine if you were able to get more of what you want just by changing your body language. Yes by changing how your walk, how you stand, what you do with your arms, you will begin to make changes. There are guaranteed immediate movements that will reposition you in life. We mix it in with some NLP and some care and attention for each delegate. Generally we take 7 people at a time, so you get the most from the sessions.

Imagine if you could have at least one of the things you want. By changing your body language you change your situation and your mind, which has the most amazing results.

Just £100 + vat for the day, inclusive of 3 x cds on body language and a voucher for your friends pre the day.
On the day payments are £150 + vat.
