		<description><![CDATA[People are self-centered more than not.
Everyone’s favorite subject is themselves; whether they admit it or not.
And as such, each and every person is in the &#8220;sales&#8221; business.
Those who are truly successful at marketing, promoting, and persuading [anything] understand one key distinction:
!! Whatever you do or produce has to make people feel something about themselves to get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s not about how good you are; it&#8217;s about how good of a communicator you are.
Example:
Many remember the 80&#8217;s rock bands Poison and Ratt. Like most of this era&#8217;s glam-metal groups, these two bands are often better known for their hair styles and lifestyles, rather than their music. Love them, hate them, or just plain don&#8217;t care, these [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[One of the first things I teach my new students is the &#8220;a little, a lot&#8221; rule.
I suggest reading their college textbooks a little, a lot. Read small amounts frequently. The reasoning is simple: to stay focused, to remain productive, and to retain more.
I believe this philosophy also applies to the larger palette of life.
Here are 5 favorite &#8221;a little, a lot&#8221; suggestions to be [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Why is illusionist Criss Angel so successful? Why do you know his name? It&#8217;s not because he does neat magic tricks.
The answer: Persuasion.
Criss Angel is a master persuader.
- He persuaded many others to believe in him and his vision.
- He persuaded his family and friends to not only support, but to finance his vision in the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Neuro-linguistic programming or NLP is a therapy system pioneered in the 1970&#8217;s by Richard Bandler and John Grinder. NLP teaches people to become more self-aware and to become better communicators while simultaneously changing their patterns of mental and emotional behavior. In other words: begin to think different; begin to act different.
After studying several prominent and successful psychotherapists, Bandler and [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard it said &#8220;it&#8217;s not what you say; it&#8217;s how you say it.&#8221;
I disagree. Focusing only on the &#8220;how&#8221; you say things leaves out other very important components to successful communication.
I believe it&#8217;s WHAT you say, and HOW you say it, and WHEN/WHERE you say it, and IF you say it (at all).
To be most effective, good communicators [...]]]></description>

Like I preach incessantly in my classrooms&#8230;
Communication is King!
Get great at it, in all ways, always.

Clean the ego out of the ears.
True listening cannot exist without the listener being silent&#8230; not only verbally silent, but mentally silent. Not speaking is much easier than turning the mind off momentarily [...]]]></description>

Communication → Influence → Persuasion → Sales
