THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Sale's solutions are what make the business world thrive. The client has a problem and we fix it, our goods or services are delivered, outcomes are achieved and everybody wins. In a lot of cases however these are only partial wins. Problems and issues are a bit like icebergs – there is a lot more going on below the surface than can be spotted from the captain's bridge. The salesperson's role is to go after the whole iceberg and not just the obvious bit floating above the waterline. The standard sales interview is based on two models comprising the outer circles surrounding a bull's-eye. The extreme periphery is the “telling is selling” model. This ensures the salesperson does most of the talking. The client is subjected to a constant bombardment of features, until they either buy, die or retreat. The second model, the inner circle adjoining the bull's-eye, is the solution model of providing outcomes that best serve the client, based on what the client has understood is their problem. The latter is a much better tool and is in pristine condition because so few salespeople use it. The rapid fire of features at the client, rarely provides success because of the randomness of the proffering of alternatives. Welcome to the “toss enough mud at the wall and some is bound to stick” School of Sales. Aligning the fix with the client need in the solution model is the mark of the semi-professional. There is nothing wrong with this model but what are the rock star sales masters doing? They are zipping up their wetsuits and diving into the icy water under the iceberg, inspecting things closely and really understanding the full scope of the situation. They are on a mission to try and find what nobody else is seeing. Their ability to deliver previously unseen, unconsidered insights is pure gold for clients. Mentally picture our big red bull's-eye at the center of a series of concentric circles. Stating the features of a product or service is the first level, the very outer circle. Our solutions constructed around what the client knows already is the next inner circle. The highest level is providing solutions for problems that the client isn't even aware of yet. A truly magical client statement would be: “Oh, I hadn't thought of that or allowed for it!”. Think about your own experience. Anytime we have been a buyer and have uttered those words to ourselves, as a result of insight from the salesperson, we have experienced a major breakthrough in our world view. Now that is the bull's-eye we want right there. The salesperson who can provide that type of perspective, alerting clients to over-the-horizon issues, provides such value that they quickly become the client's trusted business partner. Be it in archery or business, hitting the bull's-eye is no easy matter. Insight can't be plucked from the air at will. Plumbing one's experiences, sorting and sifting for corresponding relevancies and then diving deeply into the client's world looking for alignment are the skills required. In a way, ignorance is an advantage. Paraphrasing Peter Drucker, our success can come by asking a lot of “stupid” questions. A salesperson has an outside perspective, untainted and pure. There is no inner veil obscuring the view, no preconceived notions or ironclad assumptions clouding judgment. Counter intuitively, the fact that we don't know, what we don't know, becomes our strength. Ignorance allows us to question orthodoxy in a way that insiders can't because of inertia, group think, company culture or the internal politics of the organization. When salespeople serve numerous clients, be it in the same industry or across industries, they pick up vital strategic and tactical commercial intelligence. Researching various client's problems, experiences, triumphs and disasters is valuable – but only if you know how to process the detail. In all of our companies, we can only see clearly what we are doing ourselves. We all exemplify that Japanese saying: “the frog in the well does not know the ocean”. Everything is too familiar and so we don't ever question everyday normality. We don't have the opportunity to peak behind the curtain and look into what our competitors are doing. It is also very rare for company personnel to do study tours of totally unrelated businesses. If we classified industries alphabetically, in a standard business setting, representatives from A and Z would rarely meet, let alone get to trade ideas and experiences. Salespeople however are floating around businesses and therefore able to know many wells and oceans. The ability to select and apply one particularly successful thing in a different context is a commercially valuable skill. How can salespeople get that skill? Some ways salespeople can provide over-the-horizon value include being highly observant. Take what you have seen working elsewhere for one client, in a different company or industry and then apply it for your current client. Sounds rather easy doesn't it. The reality is pressured salespeople miss much, record little, remember less and blag their way through most of their client meetings. Let's all slow down, listen, think, and then innovate. The answers are often right there, but we miss out because we are too busy and not looking for them. Another way to get that skill is to do practical research. Based on what you already know, build up a point of view on an industry, check it against what your clients are telling you (or conduct company surveys). Delve into nascent potential problems, arrive at your hypothesis and be the first mover. The real time insight garnered from this type of activity, allows salespeople to become rockstars in the business world. They are providing “take it to the bank” added value for the buyer. We won't always be able to conjure up a bull's-eye. However, in trying to do so, our aspirations, general direction and thinking will be correct. Our kokorogamae (心構え) or true intention will be on track. By comparison, our competitors will lag well behind, still waffling on about features or playing detective interrogating clients. We have to move on to a higher dimension, where clients seek us out. They do so because they recognize the value of what we offer. In sales, the inner-most circle, the big red bull's-eye, leads straight to the winner's circle and that is where we must be. Let's make “insight” our springboard to success. Action Steps Look for what is working for one client to apply to clients in another industry Keep good records of insights so you can deploy them when needed Don't be afraid to ask “stupid” questions Look for every opportunity to differentiate yourself by providing unmatched value through insights

You don't have to buy cool new technology, discover the latest marketing trend, or do anything grandiose to get big gains in your law firm. All of those things fall under “shiny object syndrome.” You're chasing the next big thing to get tons of new clients and dramatically increase your profits. The truth is, none of that works. Shiny objects won't get you the growth you're desiring–small consistent changes will. This happens through compounding growth. Today, we are going to talk all about compounding growth. Throughout the episode, you'll learn why making small continuous improvements usually beats out big “swing for the fence” changes, how to avoid shiny objects, and how to decide on the one new thing you'll focus on at a time. Show Highlights: What the compound effect is. Why you need to track your metrics to see change. How to start tracking metrics simply. Why you need to avoid shiny objects and how to do it. Why you should only focus on one new thing at a time in your firm. How small changes can lead to the biggest gains. Subscribe and Review We'd appreciate you subscribing to this podcast and leaving an Apple Podcasts review. Reviews help others discover and learn what Law Firm Next is all about. It only takes a second and helps us out a lot! Supporting Resources: Follow us on Twitter Follow us on Instagram Follow us on Facebook Book a Consultation at GNGF The Compound Effect Episode 57 Episode 61 Action Steps: Look at what you are doing now. Do you have measurements in place that you can work to improve? For example: Intake process How many leads are turning into consultations? How many leads are turning into clients? Digital marketing Number of leads from online marketing efforts Are sessions increasing? Are your ranking and visibility increasing? What is the conversion rate of visitors to your website to those that become leads? Utilization of your team Number of hours available to work billable work Number of hours being billed Pick a couple of measurements that you would like to improve this year and identify one or two things you can test to try to improve one of those measurements. Has the number of visits to your website gone up a lot but your conversion rate has dipped a little? There are a lot of little things you could improve in this case. Would you like more leads turning into consultations? Maybe you can increase the frequency of times you are following up with a lead or add text messaging to your follow-up. Listen to our podcast and you'll hear a lot of ideas that can help you take your firm to the next level. Pick only one item to work on for now. Take these small improvement items and pick one or two to work on in the next 90 days. After 90 days, measure, identify some other improvements, and repeat. *** Episode Credits If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Emerald City Productions.

Did they stay or did they go? That is the question we have been asking over the past couple of episodes. What this boils down to is whether or not we make a sale. Our purpose with this series is to increase those odds in your firm. This week, we want to hone in on the area of follow-up. You might be the kind of attorney who, like Melanie, has tried the “sticky note system” for follow-up. The truth is, that doesn't work. Follow-up just doesn't happen with that kind of system. Instead, we want to automate our follow-up process. We want to make the best use of software and delegation to streamline our follow-up and increase our chances of making that sale. This is important because, without follow-up, you're leaving it up to the client to remember you and take action. Show Highlights: How to automate follow-up. How to provide value with your follow-up. How to build workflows that prompt your team to follow up. Best practices for post-representation. How much follow-up is too much. How to get an engagement agreement and collect money. What to do when you must decline representation. Subscribe and Review We'd appreciate you subscribing to this podcast and leaving an Apple Podcasts review. Reviews help others discover and learn what Law Firm Next is all about. It only takes a second and helps us out a lot! ACTION STEPS: Look at how you're currently doing intake and add one extra step, a follow-up email that someone on your team sends out if we don't get the engagement letter back in two days. Bonus: if your intake already has a lot of follow-ups built-in, take a look at the work you do during your representation and find a place there to add a follow-up step Add one automation to your current intake. If you're not using digital signatures, start there. If you are, find someone on your team to figure out or outsource creating templates in your software to automatically create your engagement letters. Write an email declining representation (or find one you've used in the past), add a link to the local bar association or another attorney referral resource, and give it to someone on your team to send out each time you decline representation. *** Episode Credits If you like this podcast and are thinking of creating your own, consider talking to my producer, Emerald City Productions.

It's the beginning of a new year, which means new ideas, new goals, new directions. And maybe it means new approaches to building your business or ministry. This week, I'm kicking off the Business Builders series. We start makin strategic investments in your work in the areas of coaching, memberships, and training events. You've probably been looking ahead at the new year, setting goals and making plans. If this is the year you are committed to taking things to the next level, this Business Builders series is for you. But wait … you might be saying “I'm a ministry, or a writer, or a podcast … not a business … I don't have any plans to sell products or become a business.” Well, here's an extra tip for you … if you'll treat your ministry, writing, or podcast LIKE a business, it will grow faster and you'll have the opportunity to share your passionate message with more people. So I think there is a lot here for you in these business-building principles. In this episode, I want to focus on coaching-related investments because I've seen that this is one area where people often put off spending money. My favorite example of coaching in the Bible is the relationship between Moses and his father-in-law, Jethro. In Exodus, chapter 8. Jethro looked over the situation and quickly knew that Moses needed help. He laid out a simple plan for Moses to delegate the tasks to other trusted men, so he could spend time on the big things related to accomplishing their mission.What is coaching?Coaching is basically when someone shares what they know to help you get where you want to go. When do you need a coach?When you have reached the end of what you know or can do on your own.When you need help making decisions.When you feel stuck and overwhelmed.Tips for choosing a coach.Know your own objectives.Make sure your coach is qualified in the area you need help and teaching at your level. Understand how they will communicate with you. Make sure you can afford it.ACTION STEPS:Look over your needs and goals for this year and decide what type of coaching support will help you move the needle to success. I have openings in my one-on-one accountability coaching and my Move Forward Mastermind group coaching program.

The Cutting Edge Japan Business Show By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Cold calling always creates a debate amongst the sales community. Some say it has seen it's day, others defend it as part of the sales resource bank for getting leads. I don't think anyone suggests it has a high rate of success. Yet, there are occasions when we need to call someone we have never spoken to before and who has never heard of us. Why would we be doing that? We may have spun the spider into action. The spider is a metaphor for when you have success with a client in one industry or industry sector and you believe you can have success with other similar companies. Often the problems you discover from talking to one client are probably common for other companies in the same industry. Say you are talking to a Five star hotel and they have a problem with turnover. The chances are that many other Five star hotels have the same issue. If you have a solution that fixes the problem for this client of yours, then why not help out the other hotels suffering the same problem. So, like a spider with its web, you branch out to the other hotels and bring them into your ecosystem of solutions. Or, you may have run out of leads. Maybe your marketing efforts are not proving very fruitful and the lead flow is a bit dismal. There are a number of industry and association directories which list the key people in those organisations. You know who you want to speak with and that is a great starting point for making a cold call. Now there are many difficulties with cold calling, so let's deal with the most problematic. This is when you only have a company name and want to talk to a decision-maker. You are not even sure of which section you need. You are forced to navigate your way through the company's phone system. In Japan, the task of taking incoming calls is allocated to the lowest person on the totem pole. Usually, the youngest, newest female in the administration section. Her job is to get rid of pesky salespeople. Which are the pesky ones? They are all those salespeople who are cold calling the company trying to waste the time of her bosses. She knows she will get scolded if she makes that transfer to her boss and the boss doesn't like it. In this case, we need a really powerful credibility statement that will be a hook to get us transferred to the boss. We cannot be vague. We need to be authoritative, commanding and confident in our voice quality. We need to create the impression that if she doesn't transfer this call right now, then the company is really going to miss out on something that will fundamentally change their business. When you have that spider's web of insight, you are able to pin point the pain point of their business and that can be a great door opener for us. Even when we know the name of the person, we can get ourselves into trouble. I was coaching a Japanese salesperson recently and asked where was the breakdown point in her sales approach. She mentioned cold calling and being unable to engage with the decision maker. I suggested some role play to get an idea of her approach. Shock, horror, gasp. It was horrible. She began her conversation with the weakest, most lacking in confidence voice you can imagine. A voice that was begging for relegation to the garbage heap of failed cold callers. I was sitting there thinking, “no wonder you can't get through”. We need to consider the psychology of the youngest female answering the phone. In their company she is a nobody. She has no great knowledge of the boss's business, because she is so many layers removed. When a call comes in and sounds timid and lacking in conviction, then it is an open invitation to get rid of them. However, an unknown caller might also be a good buddy of the boss, an important client, someone the boss just met or some big shot from another firm. She can only judge that by how they speak with her. If she is talked to like a junior and told to get the boss on the line right now, she will probably make that transfer. Probably the call will be transferred to the boss's assistant, so that is always a fail safe action for a very junior person in the company. They have relinquished all responsibility at that point and they can go back to stamping documents or whatever. When we get to the assistant, we need that credibility statement to be on fire. It has to be a well designed strong hook, to convince them that we should speak to the boss. The impression is if we don't, then the company will be missing out on a fantastic game changing, really rocking it opportunity. We need some key points about who we are, why we are calling, what we have found from hearing the needs of similar companies and the excellent results we achieved for those companies. We then suggest that, “maybe we could do the same for your company, so please transfer me now, so I can explain how we do that”. This has to be delivered in a silky smooth massively confident way, with no voice hesitations, stumbles or umming and ahhing. Action Steps Look for spider opportunities to parlay your knowledge from one client to a potential client Study industry or association directories for target clients you can serve and for whom you have a great solution Prepare your credibility statement as a hook to get the person taking the call to transfer you to the boss. If you know the person's name, then ask for it with all the authority of the boss's best buddy and be rather brusque in your manner, implying you are not there to take any nonsense from underlings
Searching for a job is stressful and anxiety inducing. When the job search is not voluntary, additional pressure is added and urgency and fear is heightened. Now, add on economic uncertainty or a worldwide crisis, such as a pandemic, and the process becomes even more difficult to navigate.

Having conducted two major job searches during the financial crisis in 2009/10 after being laid off, she personally knows how daunting the job search process can be. Through her own experience, she developed a system for job searching that prioritizes the best return for your investments of time, brain power, and energy. You may remember Melissa from a few episodes back where we discussed job security (and lack of) in depth so I was thrilled to bring her back on to get deep on action planning your next job search.In this episode we cover:Polishing up your application materialsHow to go about finding a job that fits your criteriaNetwork leveragingActually launching your searchLanding the jobAnd so much more!ACTION STEPS: Look at your network and contact one person and let them know that you're starting your search/in the midst of your search/will be searching soon and make sure they know or remember you.

You can learn from anythingI can’t tell you how many times I’ve learned a lesson from the weirdest places. It’s like the Karate Kid movies where Mr. Miyagi is making Daniel do weird things like wash the windows and floors, yet he derives a lesson from these tasks.I think the weirdest situation that ever taught me a lesson was when I was sitting on a log in Georgia. I was at Fort Benning at basic training in 2012, looking at my friend, Reyes. I learned that no matter how bad life gets, you can bounce back.Look at all experiences as a lesson to be learned. Flat tire? Learn patience and preparedness. Broke? Learn your lesson about spending too much. ACTION STEPS – Look at a struggle or high in your life and find a lesson buried in it.

The Cutting Edge Japan Business Show By Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Smart people in sales are a problem. They have expansive brains, intellectual curiousity and strategic depth. They are quick to spot the big picture solutions for clients. Internally they are a system police, fantastic on urging the fixing of the sales structures and suggesting necessary improvements. With Excel macro skills to burn, they can transform a simple spreadsheet information capture into a formidable machine. They are not what we need in the sale's team. We need “good hustle” from our salespeople. Not “hustle” in the sense of tricking clients into arrangements to secure a big commission or a fat bonus. “Good hustle” is about focus on getting commitments from buyers to proceed, that will benefit the buyer, because it will improve their business. This is usually not about long-term massive interventions but about the practical improvements that can be executed quickly, that produce an immediate outcome. Getting the client to that point of agreement requires energy, lots of energy. That energy is needed to make the phone calls to follow up on leads which come through to the website, from advertising, ad word campaigns, social media outreach etc. Also, contacting potential clients we have met at networking events, seeking referral clients and selecting prospective clients to be contacted through cold calling. This is not exciting work. It is less thrilling than working at the 30,000 foot level, overviewing vast swaths of client territory. What is needed is the exact opposite – meet, propose, meet, follow up, meet, gain commitment, follow up, follow up and further follow up. This is down and dirty in the trenches, just digging, digging, and more digging. Dull “grunts” in the sales army are not much help either. Clients need more consulting skills from salespeople than ever before and that requires intelligence, analytic ability and clarity. Smart people have these attributes in full, but they tend to become bored with the “grunt” aspect of sales. Digging the trench is not as exciting as planning the complete reworking of the client's revenue producing systems. The reality though is we need smart people who can hustle. They are motivated to serve the client and are equally motivated to sift through a lot of potential clients, until they find a good match for the client need with their company's services. As we say in sales, “you have to kiss a lot of toads before you find the handsome prince or beautiful princess”. Finding and developing motivated toad kissers is not that easy. Smart people love to work on complex problems. Companies have the same problems with their engineers. They have to give them a diet of complex problems to keep them mentally stimulated and engaged. Smart salespeople are the same. The issue though for leaders is that everyone is pretty busy already. Holding salespeople's hands is usually outside the sales leader's job description. Sales demands a huge amount of internal motivation and hustle energy. You cannot inject the latter into staff; they have to produce it themselves. Dilettante as a descriptor has come to have a pejorative nuance to it, but it does describe a lot of smart people in sales. They are cultivating an area of interest in sales without the real commitment. The real commitment includes doing all the dull digging and toad kissing required to find and satisfy clients. They often feel that is boring and below them. They typically seek the big transaction, the killer deal that breaks all the records. They want to start at the top and work their way up from there. This is why they are a problem for leaders and why they can burn up a lot of management time. Keeping them on track away from shiny objects, glitter and bright lights takes up time which could be better spent elsewhere. It is a dilemma – balancing the needs of smart people with the reality that unglamorous work is the core basis for sales success. If we get it wrong, we pay a double penalty – they don't produce fast enough and when they leave in frustration, we have to start again and find their replacement. Time, money and stress are all required, which in fact are additional elements we shouldn't have to be bothered with. So when selecting sales people for the team, it is absolutely necessary that we find that right balance between big strategic thinking and “good hustle”, between macro and micro skill sets and between textbook smart and street smart. Action Steps Look for salespeople with a good dose of street smarts about them Ask questions about sales back office systems and see if their eyes light up Check that their work habits include lots of unexciting “grunt” activity

When we think about why we want to lose weight, we have to ask ourselves a few questions. The first is why are we overweight? This is actually a question that very few of us have really answered for ourselves. Most of us put it out of our mind, try to wear the clothes that hide the extra weight, and chalk it up to an excuse such as menopause or getting older. But if we want to get to goal weight, we really need to answer the question, with an accurate answer, of why we are overweight. The only reason that any of us are overweight is that we eat more food than our body needs. We can say we have a slow metabolism, or it’s menopause, or our hormones but it’s because we eat more than our body needs. So then the question becomes, “why” do we do that. We have to dig deeper. In fact, I recommend you ask yourself why about “7 times” to get to the real answer. I’ll give you my answers 1. Why am I overweight -> Because I eat too much. 2. Why do I eat too much? -> Because I go out to eat a lot. 3. Why does going out to eat a lot lead to eating too much? -> I avoid making sensible choices when I am out. 4. Why do I avoid making sensible choices when eating out? -> I don’t want to deprive myself. 5. Why don’t you want to deprive yourself-> I feel deprived in other areas of my life and get my pleasure from this. (or why would I feel deprived?-> Am I always supposed to eat all the things when eating out?) 6. Why do I feel deprived in other areas of my life?-> I don’t make an effort to reward myself. How do I deprive myself? 7. How can you reward yourself so that I no longer feel deprived -> What actions steps can I take to reward myself? ACTION STEPs: Look in local art center brochure for an art class that would be enjoyable. Aim for 1 hour of downtime per day doing fun, non-eating work related activities. Unfortunately, one of the major reasons many of us overeat, which really has nothing to do with us, is our environment. Food companies make money when we buy their product and many have become like cigarette companies used to be, strategically planning to make their products as irresistible and addictive as possible to get us to buy their product, with little concern for our health. We have processed foods all around us, and marketed to us, and these have caused obesity rates and chronic disease to skyrocket. It’s actually the blight of our modern age, and will cripple and bankrupt us if we are not careful. It may be too late to avoid those outcomes in terms of public health in fact. But that’s a discussion for another time. What I wanted to talk about in this video was everything that is INTERNAL to us. Here’s how the usual path of weight loss goes: 1. We find a new plan or approach, for example BestShape50. 2. We are all excited and start losing weight. 3. Then a couple of different things will happen. a. Because we are not eating as much, we start feeling emotions that we don’t typically feel because we have been stuffing them down with food. OR b. Our life will throw a random problem at us that we will use as an excuse to go off track OR c. We do everything we should and our body adapts to weight loss, we stall and we tell ourselves nothing works. Instead of making a few additional tweaks, we go back to our old eating patterns and put back on any weight we lost. Weight loss is really tricky!! No? What we need to focus on with BestShape50 or any lifelong weight loss plan is to make our life so enjoyable and fulfilling that we do not need to use food (or anything else to escape it). First we must allow rather than resist our negative feelings without eating off plan. We can’t expect to be happy and joyous all the time. In fact, about 50% of the time we can expect positive emotions, and the other 50% will be negative. So, that’s step 1, allowing, feeling and living with our emotions as they occur without overeating or going off plan. The second thing that is “internal”, although it doesn’t seem like it, is that life throws “problems” at us. Some of these problems are of our own making and some are not. Whether we caused our problems or not, we need to not be victims. Something may or may not be our fault, but everything in our life is our responsibility of how we look at it and what we choose to make it mean. Join the next BestShape50 FREE 7-Day Challenge!

What is your hormonal hierarchy and how can you modify, adjust, and strategize your nutrition and your workouts based on it? Naturopathic and functional medicine doctor, Dr. Brooke Kalanick talks all about hormonal hierarchy, PCOS and lifestyle strategies for optimizing hormonal health. You can find all the info and links about this episode at https://holisticwellness.ca/episode56. Topics Discussed in this Episode: PCOS Hormonal hierarchy Lifestyle and nutrition strategies for women with PCOS The role that histamine plays on female hormones The best workout approach that women can take for optimizing their hormonal health How kale isn’t going to be the fixer of all things Key Takeaways: For the most part, if you’re showing up with irregular periods, cysts on your ovaries, insulin resistance or elevated androgens, those are all going to be signs that can help point you towards a PCOS diagnosis. Inflammation is an underlying root cause for PCOS, so all women with PCOS should really be looking to manage all sources of inflammation. If you’ve ramped up your training too much, one way to know that you’re overdoing it is if your ACES (appetite, cravings, energy, and sleep) are out of balance. If your appetite goes up, your cravings go up, your energy goes down or your sleep changes, you’re probably exacerbating cortisol with your training and you want to back that down. Some classic signs of overtraining can be represented by the acronym RAMP, which stands for reluctance to train, achiness or excessive soreness, moodiness, and puffiness. Action Steps: Look into managing all your possible sources of inflammation. Figure out your unique carb tolerance. Dr. Brooke said: “It’s just unfortunate that women don’t understand how their hormones are talking to them. All day long we’re getting biofeedback from our hormones, especially insulin and cortisol… so it’s really important to tune in to their signals.” “Exercise is powerful medicine and I really think we can use it for healing, but it is a very quick way to burn yourself out, to create a lot of inflammation or oxidative stress and make those delicate hormone issues worse.” Thanks for listening!

The thyroid tends to be at the root of so many health issues for so many women. What triggers these thyroid disorders and how can we fix these underlying problems? Today we continue the thyroid conversation with functional medicine practitioner Dr. Becky Campbell as she talks about her book, The 30-Day Thyroid Reset Plan, and how we can use it to heal our body for life. Visit https://holisticwellness.ca/podcast for the complete show notes of every podcast episode. Topics Discussed in this Episode: The seven different triggers that make us sick and how they’re related to our thyroid What tests to take to check your gut health What can cause HPA axis imbalances The DUTCH test and other lab tests that you should ask for from your doctor How vitamin deficiencies can impact your thyroid, Hashimoto’s, and your hormones overall Heavy metal testing and detoxifying The optimal diet for supporting thyroid health and Hashimoto’s Key Takeaways: Gaining weight out of nowhere without having changed your diet or your exercise is a really big sign that there is something is wrong with your health. The thing with thyroid issues is you have to really look and see all the different things that could be triggering it and to address all of them. 90% to 97% of hypothyroidism is Hashimoto’s, which is actually an immune system issue, and most of the immune system is located in the gut. A lot of thyroid patients have nutrient deficiencies and these can be tied to gut infections, especially SIBO (small intestine bacteria overgrowth). You don’t have to have one symptom in your gut to have a gut infection. The Paleo diet works very well in supporting thyroid health. The liver is one of the most nutrient-dense food there is. Action Steps: Look at your gut health. Check for yeast overgrowth, bacteria imbalances, low stomach acid, SIBO, leaky gut, etc. With any vitamin or mineral that you need, try to get it with food first before you resort to any vitamin or mineral supplement. If you have a mercury filling that you want to be removed, make sure that they are safely removed by a bio dentist. Use safer beauty products and household cleaning products. Use essential oils instead of perfumes. Dr. Becky Campbell said: “I don’t know one person who doesn’t have some form of stress. I mean, even if it’s not emotional stress, it could be physical stress. So that really plays a role in what our thyroid is doing. The thyroid and the adrenal glands run really hand in hand.” “So many people really don’t realize the deep impact that the chemicals in our beauty products have on our hormone levels… Not only are they hurting themselves but they’re actually hurting everyone around them, too.” Thanks for listening!

What if you are a soul seeker and you’re with someone who’s not? How do you deal with that? Whether you find yourself in this scenario now or at some point in the future, let’s delve deep and see what this could mean for you in your life. Visit http://thetruthaboutliving.com/podcast/ for complete show notes of every podcast episode Topics Discussed in this Episode: How to deal with being in a relationship with someone who’s at the other end of the spectrum from what you are What happens when you’re on the opposite end of the spectrum in a relationship Tips on how to deal with your own idea of ‘what should be’ The things that shape who we are How not to fall into a state of feeling better than someone else because your path is more worthy Key Takeaways: As you’re with someone over a period of time, there are things about you that change, grow, and evolve, and yet there things about you that stay the same. We always think that we’re going to be the happiest if we are with someone who has the same perspectives that we have, but it doesn’t mean that in order to have maximum harmony in your life that you should really be the same. It’s actually interesting to be with someone who sees things differently. It’s a part of being human to want to be right and to want other people to agree with us. And our need to be understood and our need for agreement can be amplified in a relationship. But the more enlightened we are, the less we need other people’s agreement or validation. We tend to let our ego come into this space that was meant to be pure love and presence and acceptance. And sometimes we use our difference in spirituality as an excuse for unhappiness and as barriers in our relationships. The simple act of noticing when the ego comes in is transformative. When you bring awareness into what you’re actually doing or saying or thinking, you begin to see a shift and find that you have this ability to hit a pause button. You ultimately know what is the best relationship for you. If your relationship is at a point where you feel that there’s just so much misalignment and nothing is in harmony, then you know the choices you have to make around that. But you can’t demand that someone be like you or do the things that you do. To demand what you think is the right way to be and demand that your partner do what you do is really off-track from what it means to honor their holiness, to see them as pure presence and pure love, and to embrace them and accept them for who they are and what they believe in or don’t believe in, in their own path. Action Steps: Look past appearances. Look past arguments. Look past preferences that you don’t agree with. Look past faults and flaws. Look past all of the things that make up our humanness and know that the person you’re in a relationship with is of God. Allow some grace into your relationship and honor their path. Offer presence, love, and non-judgment to your partner, no matter what their belief system is. Allow yourself to see the good that can come from different perspectives. Ask yourself this question: Are you holding your happiness hostage or allowing someone else to hold your happiness hostage because they’re not doing the exact same thing, the exact same time, in the exact same way? Thank you for listening! Quotes: “If we’re talking about true enlightenment here or true awakening, I think we have to let the ego really take a back seat and not allow the ego to intervene in what we think of as pure spiritual pursuits.” “It doesn’t mean that because one person is having a spiritual awakening that instantly everyone should be having the same spiritual experience. There is a grander plan. There is a bird’s-eye view of things that we’re not able to see. We can only see from our own perspective.” Resource Mentioned: Jim Carrey on “Awakening” - YouTube Video A Course in Miracles You’ll See It When You Believe It by Wayne Dyer More from Bridgett Tulloh: Get $50 off the Life Breakthrough Masterclass: http://TheTruthAboutLiving.com/lifebreakthrough Book your Breakthrough Coaching Session at www.TheTruthAboutLiving.com/private-coaching Get the course: The Divine Way of Manifesting - 5 Simple Steps http://the-truth-about-living.teachable.com/p/the-divine-way-to-manifesting/ Watch & Subscribe on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgW0B8eytH3KK7RUi6o-7uA
Samantha Meis started MistoBox, a coffee subscription business, while still in college. They launched in 2012 with a Kickstarter project, appeared on Shark Tank, made a deal with Mark Cuban and have gone on to generate over $2.7M in sales last year. In this episode you will learn: How they came up with the idea for MistoBox and how they got things off the ground [01:40] How they launched a Kickstarter project for their business [03:10] How they got their first 100 customers [04:10] How they advertised and promoted their Kickstarter program [05:09] What their experience was like with Shark Tank and how it’s worked with signing up Mark Cuban [05:52] How they were able to leverage the traffic brought by Shark Tank [09:49] What were their next steps after Shark Tank [10:27] How they got customer feedback and implemented changes to their product [13:31] What were the things they did really well and the things they had to overcome to raise their revenue [16:22] How they continued to drive new sign-ups [19:01] What they did to reach out to press outlets and get featured [21:31] How they were able to build their email list [22:33] How they provide value and put offers in front of people [24:18] How they figured out what the best pricing was for their product [26:18] Key Takeaways: When it comes to product-based businesses, a Kickstarter pre-order model could work well for you. The longer a customer stays around and is a part of your customer base, the faster your base is going to grow. When it comes to making your product so good that people want to talk about it, it all comes down to expectations. Action Steps: Look at the behavior of customers instead of what they say they want. Always tap into the customer experience by talking to and surveying your customers. Make your product so good that people want to talk about it and tell their friends. Set realistic expectations for your customers and then overperform. Find your story, the one that tells how your company is unique, and then reach out to high-impact and aligned press outlets. Hire the right people - people that are self-motivated, that can stay on track without needing a significant amount of oversight, and that can function socially without being around people 24/7. Samantha says: “Do whatever you can to make a compelling case for your business.” “As a subscription business, retention is a function of growth.” More from Samantha Meis: Samantha’s Website Samantha’s Twitter Samantha’s Instagram MistoBox Resources mentioned: DojoMojo Harvard Business Review Slack Asana Sponsor link 14-day Free Trial to LeadQuizzes Thank you for listening!

Have you ever tried looking at life through the eyes of a child? When you do, you find yourself looking at a world that’s very interesting and at the same time very simple, and you begin to see things that are in fact our natural instincts and natural drives. Today, I will talk about a little story that relates to this thing called life and what it means for us as adults. 7 Key Takeaways When you are born into this world, if you allow your natural tendencies to take place, you’re going to enjoy a challenge. So many times in life, we want things to be simple, and it could be easy to go down a path of not wanting to be challenged, but at the same time, there’s something within us that wants a challenge. Challenge is possibly a part of what we’re here to experience. If all we ever did is pick the straight path in life, it’s just not as fulfilling. Maybe there are areas of your life where either you subconsciously chose challenge in certain aspects of your life or your soul chose it before you were born, or you consciously, actively chose certain challenges. By watching children and what they naturally gravitate towards, we can begin to see this desire for challenge play out in our lives and maybe even uncover it a bit in ourselves. If we’re here for self-exploration, we have to be curious about what it’s like to go off the path and face the challenge that awaits us there. Quotes “I don’t believe we incarnated here on this planet to just walk a straight path on the pavement all the time.” “If you stay on the path all the time, the experience of life itself is diminished.” Action Steps Look at the experiences you’ve had thus far and ask yourself: Do you believe that it’s something that perhaps you chose before your incarnated? If you didn’t choose it, do you believe that there’s anything good that could possibly come from what you’ve experienced? What about the experiences that were good or challenging or fulfilling? And what are you planning for your future? If what comes around the corner feels like something you didn’t quite choose, what do you think about that? Can you find joy in these experiences? Watch a child play. Watch a child’s natural tendencies and inclinations and realize that the challenge, the fun, the experiences, the explorations that they are seeking are within you as well. Plan some experiences for yourself. Realize the immense power that you have in your life to choose your next experience because you are aware.

THE Sales Japan Series by Dale Carnegie Training Tokyo, Japan
Clueless Cold Calling In Japan Cold calling always creates a debate amongst the sales community. Some say it has seen it's day, others defend it as part of the sales resource bank for getting leads. I don't think anyone suggests it has a high rate of success. Yet, there are occasions when we need to call someone we have never spoken to before and who has never heard of us. Why would we be doing that? We may have observed the spider in action. The spider is a metaphor for when you have success with a client in one industry or industry sector and you believe you can have success with other similar companies. Often the problems you discover from talking to one client are probably common for other companies in the same industry. Say you are talking to a 5 star hotel and they have a problem with turnover. The chances are that many other 5 star hotels have the same issue. If you have a solution that fixes the problem for this client of yours, then why not help out the other hotels suffering the same problem. So like a spider with its web, you branch out to the other hotels and bring them into you ecosystem of solutions. Or, you may have run out of leads. Maybe your marketing efforts are not proving very fruitful and the lead flow is a bit dismal. There are a number of industry and association directories which list the key people in those organisations. You know who you want to speak with and that is a great starting point for making a cold call. Now there are many difficulties with cold calling, so let's deal with the most problematic. This is when you only have a company name and want to talk to a decision-maker. You are not even sure of which section you need. You are forced to navigate your way through the company's phone system. In Japan, the task of taking incoming calls is allocated to the lowest person on the totem pole. Usually, the youngest female in the administration section. Her job is to get rid of pesky salespeople. Which are the pesky ones? They are all salespeople who are cold calling the company trying to waste the time of her bosses. In this case, we need a really powerful credibility statement that will be a hook to get us transferred to the boss. We cannot be vague. We need to be authoritative, commanding and confident in our voice quality. We need to create the impression that if she doesn't transfer this call right now, then the company is really going to miss out on something that will fundamentally change their business. When you have that spider's web of insight, you are able to pin point the pain point of their business and that can be a great door opener for us. Even when we know the name of the person, we can get ourselves into trouble. I was coaching a Japanese salesperson recently and asked where was the breakdown point in her sales approach. She mentioned cold calling and being unable to engage with the decision maker. I suggested some role play to get an idea of her approach. Shock, horror, gasp. It was horrible. She began her conversation with the weakest, most lacking in confidence voice you can imagine. A voice that was begging for relegation to the garbage heap of failed cold callers. I was sitting there thinking, “no wonder you can't get through”. We need to consider the psychology of the youngest female answering the phone. In their company she is a nobody. She has no great knowledge of the bosses business, because she is so many layers removed. When a call comes in and sounds timid and lacking in conviction, then it is a guide to get rid of them. However, an unknown caller might also be a good buddy of the boss, an important client, someone the boss just met or some big shot from another firm. She can only judge that by how they speak with her. If she is talked to like a junior, and told to get the boss on the line right now, she will make that transfer. Probably the call will be transferred to the boss's assistant, so that is always a fail safe action for a very junior person in the company. They have relinquished all responsibility at that point and they can go back to stamping documents or whatever. When we get to the assistant, we need that credibility statement. It has to be a well designed strong hook, to convince her that we should speak to the boss. The impression is if we don't, then the company will be missing out on a fantastic game changing, really rocking opportunity. Action Steps Look for spider opportunities to parlay your knowledge from one client to a potential client Study industry or association directories for target clients you can serve and for whom you have a great solution Prepare your credibility statement as a hook to get the person taking the call to transfer you to the boss. If you know the person's name, then ask for it with all the authority of the boss's best buddy and be rather brusque in your manner, implying you are not there to take any nonsense from underlings Engaged employees are self-motivated. The self-motivated are inspired. Inspired staff grow your business but are you inspiring them? We teach leaders and organisations how to inspire their people. Want to know how we do that?
