Hi Jonathan

NLP is another good tool to add to your sales skills set toolbox!

It covers how people think, what their preferences are and how to inflluence them.

Don’t become an NLP junkie though. Use the elements of it that work and are not manipulative which some elements of it can be.

Look specifically at:

FUTURE PACING
META PROGRAMMES
INTERNAL REPRESENTATION SYSTEMS

Those 3 areas will have a big impact on your selling!

Thanks again for your commens Jonathan!

Sean

Sean
Following your comments I do beleive Derren Brown would make an excellent salesman however he has added skillsets which allow him to entertain and no doubt he enjoys that more than the salesman day in day out life!
After being in sales for some 21 years (blimey) I have started with a new company and for the first time heard about NLP (which I think I will study)

Do you have any thoughts you could share about this??

I have a corporate sales background selling B2B communications and solutions
Look forward to hearing from you maybe?

I think he wouldnt be a good sales person because he is 90% showmanship and for some clients this would be a real turn off.

Some of his tricks and strategies would work however.

Maybe he should come out with a book called SALES TRICKS FOR THE MIND! As your blog title suggests!

You do a great job Sean – I can’t believe the quality of some of the tips that you give away to us for free.

Cheers!
