Premise
Digital devices have opened up the world to us but sadly with it highly distracted minds have become the norm. Are our children maximizing the use of digital technology to build character, confidence and capability? We invite you to Join us online daily to enhance communication skills and more. The goal of our learning circle is to build personal confidence through practice.
Description
When children learn to express their opinions, they will develop into independent thinkers and problem solvers. Good communication skills therefore proved a foundation for our future success.
OPINION WRITING + DAILY PRACTICE + DIGITAL LITERACY = SUCCESS
• Writing is the foundation of communication. Our voice is activated while writing. This helps build a strong base for our speaking skills
• Opinions do matter! Voicing them builds our confidence. The strength of articulation, relevancy, creativity, solution-ing adds weight to our opinions
• Daily practice is needed to build strong habits and hone-in our skills
• Digital literacy is a critical skill needed to navigate and succeed in today's digital economy
CHALLENGES

Sales Enablement Consultant helping sales performance improvement
Are you a Senior Business Leader or Owner in Sales or Business Development, Sales Training, Sales Effectiveness, Sales Enablement, Sales Solutions, Learning & Development, HR or Marketing who is involved in your organization's revenue generation strategy?
A recent research by Sales Executive Council showed that the driver that contributed to the greatest customer loyalty was "purchase experience" (53%). Unfortunately, Forrester's online survey pointed out that only 1 in every 7 sales visits usually live up to the expectations of the buying executives. It's more astonishing to find out that 88% of the salespeople are very prepared to talk about their own company and products and only 29% of sales professionals understand about the customer's business and problems.
This has led to a significant decrease of spending to less than 20%. While there is an increase in competition and the global economic climate is very challenging, that poor "purchase experience" resulted in even lower win rate and ultimately created more obstacles for sustainable growth.
Despite these stern statistics, Senior Business Leader or Owner like you can leverage on a systematic sales performance improvement approach to help your team to create a unique "purchase experience" for the customers, increase the win rate and "fast-forward" customers' decision making process.
As the Founder of Sales Blueprint, I've helped thousands of top Executives to significantly accelerate sales and marketing growth through blended learning with sustainable behavioural change.
We have a great passion for sales performance improvement. We also love to empower sales professionals and challenge their thoughts in reaching a "shared understanding" with the clients.
I hope I can be a good resource to you. Scroll down to the "publications" to locate the eBook link to discover the 7 costly mistakes 80% of the sales people make that is costing companies hundreds of thousands of dollars.
