Time is a construct of humans. There is no such thing as time. Time is a framework created by people to make sense of their existence. Humans wake and make choices as to how spend their waking moments and even when and how long to sleep. The task humans choose determine the quality of their life. Yet humans squander their waking moments, breaths, and heartbeats on tasks that do not serve them or provide the outcomes their desire personally and professionally. In this session, we will explore time and task management since the passage of time is defined by your choices and your choices determine your results and life experience. Your choices and your peoples’ choices at work determine the success of your business. Task management will determine your quality of life and standard of living, and the standard of excellence and existence for your business.

Sales/Selling is a myth. People choose to buy, or they choose not to buy. The choice is always theirs to make. Attempting to sell people typically yields a lot of hysterical hyperactivity with marginal and inconsistent results, company revenue and personal income, which in turn yields emotional ups and downs for salespeople and business owners.

People + Process = Performance: To eliminate erratic performance results, you will learn a value of executing a process in which you are no longer selling, closing, and overcoming objections. You will change your focus to guide the customer to choose how they want to proceed through a process of engaging, educating, investigating, exploring, sharing, empowering, consideration, discovery, and allowing the freedom of choice to yield a better customer experience and greater performance results.

We will do a deep dive on each step of the process so you can understand the importance of shifting from selling to the natural evolution of discovery.
