Applied to Leadership
Today’s times underscore a vital reality every leader must embrace: influence is the cornerstone of leadership. The Rapid Influence Formula offers a practical, values-driven approach to quickly and effectively developing influence.
Leadership guru John C. Maxwell says, “Leadership is influence – nothing more, nothing less.” Gilan agrees, adding, “A leader without influence is like a magnet that’s lost its power. It may look the part, but has no ability to move anything.”
The potential of this keynote in the context of leadership is immense because it offers a clear and replicable process to enhance trust, credibility, and support – key factors that are not just the pillars of influence but also the very bedrock of effective leadership.
Leaders often find themselves navigating rapidly changing landscapes and facing significant challenges that require swift action and decision-making. In these situations, having a readily deployable formula for influence becomes an invaluable tool in any leader’s toolkit.
Applied to Sales
At the heart of any sales transaction lies influence, and mastering it can lead to impressive results. The Rapid Influence Formula provides actionable techniques that can be immediately implemented, boosting sales impact right away.
It’s about accelerating influence, not waiting for it to develop slowly over time. This speed is critical in today’s fast-paced market where competition is rife.
Learning this formula allows salespeople to navigate the intricate dynamics of the sales process with more confidence and effectiveness. It fosters a more impactful presence, influencing potential clients swiftly and positively, and driving sales results that were once considered unattainable.
This is an indispensable tool for any salesperson wishing to significantly up their game.
Applied to Self-Influence
The application of the Rapid Influence Formula goes beyond just influencing others, it can also be used for self-influence, which is the ability to create sustained self-motivation and high performance.
By understanding and applying the three components of the formula to your own mind, you can establish self-trust, self-credibility, and self-support.
Once you establish self-influence with the Rapid Influence Formula, you’ll take confident action towards your goals, make effective decisions, and add longevity to your levels of motivation, energy, and focus.
Break Free from the Chains of Fixed Mindsets
Your mindset is like a pair of glasses you wear all the time. It’s how you interpret everything in the world – good and bad, easy and tough, worthy or waste-of-time. It’s like a filter for your brain that colours your experiences.
Differing mindsets is why two people often perceive and react to the same situation in completely different ways. That’s why the latest research suggests that mindset is the most crucial attribute for developing high performance.
As your mindset evolves, your thinking, learning, and behaviours naturally improve because you’re perceiving and responding to situations more effectively.
Through the filter of a growth mindset, you see challenges and setbacks as opportunities rather than roadblocks. This changes the perception of change and uncertainty into exciting opportunities to grow, cultivating a culture of innovation, adaptability, and continual learning.
In this talk, Gilan blends riveting stories and case studies, backed up with peer-reviewed psychology, frameworks, and actionable advice. This session promises to inspire and unlock your potential to grow.
Suitable and customizable for these audiences:
- Leaders of all levels
- Sales force and support functions
- Company-wide events
- Clients and other external audiences
Applied to Leadership
The way we perceive and react to situations is a product of our mindset. Having the right mindset is especially critical for leaders because their decisions don’t just impact themselves, but the entire team or organization.
That said, a growth mindset isn’t something that leaders should simply adopt for themselves. It’s something they need to foster throughout their organization.
In this way, they create an environment where everyone in the organization can grow, enable individuals to reach their full potential, and improve the collective capabilities of their teams.
Without cultivating a growth mindset in its leaders, an organization’s potential for innovation, adaptability, and consistently high-performance, remains fixed, spelling disaster in today’s business landscape.
Applied to Sales
The impact of mindset on sales performance is profound. Renowned American author, Zig Ziglar said, “Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman – not the attitude of the prospect.” That’s why, adopting a proactive, growth mindset can lead to transformative results, placing the power of influence firmly back in the hands of the salesperson.
In sales, the way you see your customers, your products, and how you sell is shaped by your mindset. Just like in a game, it affects how you react to winning and losing, getting better or not seeing improvement.
Salespeople who experience this session strengthen their belief that they can grow and improve with each experience, and are more likely to see every sales call or meeting as a chance to learn. If a customer says no, they don’t see it as a failure, but rather as helpful advice to get better. This makes them more flexible and able to deal with different types of customers and situations.
Ultimately, our mindset holds the key to our growth potential in the field of sales. It unlocks extraordinary potential by fostering resilience, innovation, and continual improvement.
