It was October 2010. I’d recently qualified as an NLP Practitioner, hypnotherapist and coach. And always one to want to do things “properly”, I’d registered my business as a sole trader and set up a business bank account – after all I needed somewhere to pay in that £60 I got from my first ever paying client! Incredibly that was…

I recorded this video at the end of a month I spent living and working in Perth, Australia last year. I wrote and recorded it sitting next to the pool outside an Italian style villa in the Perth hills – the day after I went for a walk and bumped into a kangaroo! I felt inspired to record this video…

As I shared in last weeks video about Business Models, over the past couple of years I’ve had a big shift in my own business model, moving from a high-ticket mentoring programme to a low monthly investment membership community.

If you’re anything like me, then building a business you love will be really important to you.

I might be at risk of showing my age with this one… but do you remember Zippy from Rainbow? Poor old Zippy, he had a zip instead of lips so when he went “on and on” talking too much his friends would just grab one end of the zip and pull it round to shut him up! Do you need…

I’ve just got back from Canada where I attended an implementation workshop with my own business mentor. The theme of the workshop is “Love on your List” – all about nurturing your community. During the workshop we worked on a plan for creating 12 months of content which was so useful that I thought I’d share it with you in…

At the time you are watching this, it’s be the the last working week before Christmas here at Selling from the Heart HQ. From 14th December we close the office for the whole of the Christmas period, until Monday 7th January. We’ll be putting the “out of office” on the inbox and the phone service, and going off to have…

Today I’m talking about something that we used to talk about a lot back in the days of my corporate sales career – the importance of keeping your potential client inside your “sales bubble.” Watch the video below or scroll down to read the blog. What is “staying in the sales bubble”? Here’s how to think about this: When your…

A recent buying experience has prompted me to talk about something today, something that isn’t strictly part of the sales process, but instead it’s something that happens afterwards – and is more important than you might realise. It’s the importance of handling rejection gracefully. Watch the video below or scroll down to read the blog. The importance of handling rejection…

Almost every time I come to be on the buying end of a transaction, I get valuable lessons and reminders about the sales process that I know are useful to share with you. But not always. What I find is that when a sales process is good it feels comfortable and seamless and I walk away from the call with…
