Do You Have Your Black Belt in Selling?

Bill Cole, MS, MA

What's a Mental Game Coach?
Bill Cole, MS, MA
There are many types of mind coaches, mental trainers, psychology
consultants and therapists. How can you choose the right
mind practitioner? To find out, read
this article.
Meet Bill Cole, Your Expert Sales Coach
Here is a quick snapshot of how
Bill can help you as your sales coach.
The bottom line?
You want to build more sales confidence, make a positive
impact and sell yourself, your ideas, services and products
to people.
Bill is a sales coach, trainer and speaker. Here is a testimonial
from an organization that brought him in to train their
people:
"Thank you so much or sharing your
wonderful program with the Sales Success Series participants.
You were a huge hit with the group and I was thoroughly
impressed--you are a great representative of the speaking
and training profession."
Roseann Sullivan
Co-Director
San Leandro Chamber of Commerce Sales Success Series
William B. Cole Consultants founder and CEO Bill
Cole, MS, MA is an internationally and nationally recognized peak
performance mind coach. He is a Wall Of Fame Honoree, an award-winning
scholar-athlete and has coached at the highest levels of major-league
pro sports, big-time college athletics and corporate America.
Bill writes a monthly column on sales for the national financial
trade magazine Transaction World. These columns and Bill's
other 300 articles on selling and business have appeared around
the world countless times.
He's been interviewed about selling in the major media, notably
in Sales and Marketing Management magazine, on the topic
of "Coaching 'A' Players". Here's how the article, titled
"Too Good To Ignore" quoted Bill:
"A players are different from the B's
and C's. They are highly motivated by money, and because
of that they drive themselves mercilessly. Bill Cole, founder
and CEO of William B. Cole Consultants, a sales training company based
in San Jose, California, says salespeople 'are the athletes
of the business world. They have to take the punishment.'
But the A players are, in particular, 'risk-takers, thrill-seekers.'
They're basically unbalanced, he says, with little or no
outside life.
'B's do other things to get strokes. They might play a musical
instrument, or when they come home from work their dogs
will lick their faces,' Cole says. Not the A's. They're
in their managers' faces every day looking for approval."
Bill has been in leadership positions
in many organizations and has hired, managed and developed sales
people for years. His speaking and consulting to businesses and
corporations of all types gives him perspective on the various
ways sales business is conducted. One of Bill's strengths as a
sales coach is that he comes at it from a studied, scholarly perspective.
He is a deep, analytical thinker and coach, one who can help people
devise creative solutions to their sales and career issues.
Bill created, developed and presents his popular workshop/seminar,
The Mental Game of Selling, to address the needs
of sales professionals who desire:
Deeper and sharper focus when selling.
The ability to overcome the inevitable speed bumps in sales.
The skills to handle call reluctance and stage fright.
Better ways to handle the paradox of success.
Cutting edge information on rapport-building and client management.
A powerful mental readiness/psyching up system.
Improvement in their persuasion and influencing skills.
And, perhaps most important of all to
sales professionals, Bill teaches the science and art of...
"Your Mental Game Of Selling
program is a fresh, creative approach to the sales game
that obviously has years of practical wisdom behind it.
This is exactly the kind of high-level, yet street-smart
psychology of selling course that sales professionals need.
Your program was excellent, and you hit a perfect bullseye
by teaching us the mental skills our people need to help
them perform at higher levels in their stressful and challenging
workdays. This will motivate them tremendously in their
sales careers. I can see why you are known as an expert
in the psychology of achievement and success. You delivered
one of the most unique, on-target and immediately-helpful
sales training programs we have seen in a long time. We
will stay in close touch about bringing you back soon."

Sales Presentations Are Like Miniature Speeches
Every sales situation is a speech, a presentation.
No matter if you are on the phone, one-on-one, selling to a group
or making a team presentation, you are giving a speech. These
sales situations are very much like a speech, requiring a powerful
opening, meaningful content and a memorable closing.
You have to know how to anticipate and handle all objections,
tough questions and any other type of curve-ball thrown your way.
Bill will help you craft smart answers to the toughest questions
anyone can throw at you, and develop a series of sales modules
that help you stay on track and keep you delivering the goods.
Bill knows how to help you do that very thing. He travels regularly
on the pro speaking circuit giving keynotes, workshops and seminars,
speaking at state and national conventions, corporate events and
for professional groups. His one-hour keynote fee is $4,500. He
was a member of the Board of Directors of the National Speakers
Association (Northern California) for two years. For seven years
he appeared in the honor rolls of Who's Who In Professional Speaking.
He is a speech coach to professional speakers, business speakers,
sales professionals and everyday folks who just want to give a
good speech and not break out in a sweat. Bill was the head speech
writer and presentation coach to famed Silicon Valley SnapTrack
CEO Steve Poizner, who is ranked in the top six of all-time valley
CEO's, since selling his company for $1 billion.
Poizner ran for the State Assembly in California in 2004 and was
one of a handful of politicians who were endorsed by "The California
Governator", Arnold Schwarzenegger. Bill crafted the content and
staging for Poizner's speeches, debates, TV and radio spots and
other appearances. Steve Poizner had this to say about Bill's
presentation consultation:
"Bill, thank you for your excellent writing,
coaching and guidance with my speeches and presentations.
Your help was invaluable in my political campaign."
Bill has also been engaged as the Speechwriter
and Presentation Coach to Steve Poizner in his new role as the
California State Insurance Commissioner. Learn more at the California
State Insurance Commissioner's web site.

from your sessions and techniques to re-energize for a new

"SPECTACULAR!! The session was HIGH impact,
DEEPLY thought-provoking and INTENSELY informational...It
was EXCELLENT!!"
Paul Hulme
Founder/President/Owner of Alain Pinel Realtors
Largest Independent Real Estate Firm in the Western United
States
"Some of the enthusiastic endorsements
from our participants included: 'You were a huge hit with
the group', 'I was thoroughly impressed' , 'It was great!',
'Great program!', 'I wanted the program to go all day!'
and 'You did a fabulous job!'. The evaluations were fantastically
positive and there were 20 requests for more information
about his services and programs. That's quite a response!
Bill knows how to connect with people -- and how to teach
others to do that. He gets right to the core of what people
in sales need and gives them immediate bottom-line value.
I highly recommend Bill Cole to any group that wants to
learn from an authority in peak performance, especially
in selling and in golf. Bill is a real gem!"
