The Art Of A Sales Conversation: How To Create Powerful Sales Conversations
Submitted as: Zenith Training and Development
A sales coaching client recently asked me how to create better sales conversations. And I put it back to him with a question "What is your current strategy?" I always want to know somebody's starting point. To which he replied "I have three questions to ask my client at the beginning of a meeting."

Networking Your Way Through Six Degrees Of Separation: The Power Of Business Networking
Submitted as: Zenith Training and Development
In the early 90s, a film called Six Degrees of Separation built its story around the idea that we are all separated by six degrees from everybody else on the whole planet. Everybody is an open door into another world and knows the people you are looking to meet or companies you want to work with. Everybody is connected on this planet by a trail of only six people, whether you are famous or not.
