Business Development Solutions For Complex High Ticket Sales by Tom 'Bald Dog' Varjan

Sales, Marketing And Business Development Coaching For Senior Managers and Executives To Bring Out The Best In Their People...

As a result of repeating certain behaviours, your people become more and more proficient at that specific behaviour. That leads to an endless cycle of limited success and competency. But there is no innovation. New ideas are not tried, or even if tried don't do as well as the existing behaviours because of the disparity between the two. We can easily call this situation the success incest. It is just like real incest, and the more successful we think we are, the more we are trapped in this downward spiral.

While consulting works on how you do what you do, coaching works more on the Who? (you are) and then integrates it into the What? (you do) and How? (you do it). That makes it certain that your business becomes an extension of your personal values, and your personal goals and business objectives synergistically support each other. Without coaching, the results consulting delivers are often something like doing plastic surgery without after-surgery counselling, during which the counsellor helps the patient to come to terms with the changes.

It is a myth that successful people do it all alone. They surround themselves with coaches, mentors and advisors, that is, objective, unbiased outsiders.

While consulting creates measurable improvements and tangible results, coaching is about changing people's habits, beliefs and behaviours to assist them to accept, adopt and adapt the newly developed strategies, tactics, systems and methodologies. It is about invoking people's true abilities, and pulling them beyond their self-imposed "I do my best" limitations.

To avoid this self-limiting situation, I coach senior managers and executives to help them to fully integrate new bottom-line improvements into their overall working habits. For example, as a result of charging higher fees, you can spend more interacting with your people and help them to be even more effective in their work. You have time to demonstrate that you actually care about them.

We have all heard that in order to find what you are looking for you have to be at the right place at the right time. There is one more factor: You must be the right person at the right place at the right time. Ideally, business is about joy, freedom and expression. To change your results, you have to change your behaviour; to change your behaviour, you have to change your thinking; to change your thinking you have to examine your motives. What are yours? What is the legacy you are building?

So, if you want to create a conducive culture in the business development department, in which your people are naturally aspired and inspired to do their best work every time, as opposed to merely coming in to put in time and pick up their paycheques, then follow the link and read my On Becoming A Client document. Relax, there is no obligation here. This package helps you to define whether or not there is a sound financial justification to initiate the engagement.
