How many of us are dissatisfied with where we are in our lives but don’t know where to start to making changes?

We accept our reality as if it’s permanent. As sales professionals we are regularly in situations where we face rejection, prospects deny us a chance to present our value prop or buyer's choose a different partner

Some take this personally, some make it their identity and some allow it to take over their thoughts and beliefs influencing future calls. Leading to a perpetual cycle of Fear, uncertainty and doubt.

Tune in to my conversation Justin Michael, Founder of Justin Michael Method (JMM), Executive coach 4x best selling author with his most recent book Attraction Selling, a new age book that fuses The Law of Attraction with Selling.

Justin shares how these techniques worked for him by literally attracting the law of attraction in to his life, which changed his worldview forever. His techniques helped him land his first tech sales role doubling the offer of previous companies, presented many synchronistic experiences in his path with music/ manifestation, encounters with Jack Canfield, Rhonda Byrne and many others.

Justin shares how he applies his mindfulness practices in to the B2B selling world and the extraordinary results he experienced personally as well as his clients.

His commitment and passion of leading in service is palatable. He lives in gratitude and empathy for his audience. Visualizing the positive outcome he will help his clients deliver on. Shifting his energy, thoughts and vision in to what he wants for his future. Vibrating at high frequency.

Attraction Selling presents a unique approach to sales and life in general. It is a topic that is very close to me and one I have been practicing for over 15 years.

If you are ready to make a shift, visualize the outcome you want, create affirmations that align with it and prime your brain in a relaxed receptive alpha state, I invite you to tune in to our conversation.

It will be transformative, I guarantee it.

How many of us play sports now or played in high school or college? Perhaps your kids play?
How often are you driving them or did you get driven to practice? Quite often.

We had a rule in volleyball, if you missed practice you didn’t start the next game.
There was so much emphasis on practice.
Why is Sales any different?

A time to learn and apply new skills, put them together in a game situation.
Prepare you emotionally and physically for game day.

Why do we show up to calls, demo’s, meetings without practice?

✅Learning what story to share and at what point makes most sense
✅Anticipate the likely objection that will come up
✅Prepare some questions to get to the root of the objection

In the moment, when emotions are high we most likely won’t do this if we haven’t done deliberate practice.
Tune in to our episode today where Jonathan Mahan Co-Founder of The Practice Lab, breaks apart the various components that go in to effective roleplaying.

Jonathan shares tactical tips we can put in to practice immediately and a great give away at the end.
Tune in and change the game!
