Become a Champion Communicator Through Online Coaching

BILL LAMPTON’S ONLINE COACHING PROGRAM—

“CHAMPION COMMUNICATORS”

Daniel Webster, one of America’s greatest statesmen and speakers, said:

“If I were to lose all of my possessions except one, I would save the power of communication, for by it I soon would regain all of the rest.”

Do you agree? Is "the power of communication" that powerful?

YOUR COMMUNICATION FANTASIES
To answer. . .think for a minute of what you have dreamed of accomplishing professionally. Examples of your optimistic daydreams:

Your interviewing aptitude gets you that prestigious job you want, though you are one of 200 applicants, with only five candidates reaching the interview stage.

Your sales savvy helps you outsell the rest of the sales team for an entire year. You ask the best questions, give convincing answers, and support your message with appropriate nonverbal communication.

Your writing talent enables your proposal to win the biggest contract ever for your company.

Your forceful speaking takes you to prominent civic leadership posts in your community, resulting in publicity, friendships, and meeting new prospects. You speak with poise and persuasive ability.

Your keen listening keeps morale high among your employees. They trust you enough to share their problems and candid recommendations, without fear of reprisals.

Your negotiating ability allows you to resolve conflicts before they damage your organization severely.

Yes, the ability to communicate could very well be that one asset you’d want to keep, as Webster suggested, if you had to face a choice of which possession to hold tight to.

Now let me ask. . .since communication is the springboard for your success, what are you doing to keep on developing your communication skills?

Anything regular, disciplined, systematic, part of a structured plan, sure-to-happen?

Probably not. Most likely, your improvement is haphazard, do-it-when-you-can. Some months you make progress, but most other months you put your energy elsewhere.

Well, this is where I come in. I want to enrich your communication talent!

Not now and then, not just once a quarter—but averaging once every week. That's right--I'll e-mail you 52 or more valuable training messages annually.

How does that happen? Simple: You select me as your Online Communication Coach.

“Won’t work,” you’re thinking. “I live in Idaho” or “My office is in Toronto.” Or even: “Check with me, Bill, next time you’re going to be in London, and we’ll arrange a coaching session.” Or “Forget it—there’s little chance you’ll travel to Glasgow or Quito.”

So you decide, “Good as the idea sounds, the distance between us makes your coaching impractical.”

Yet who said anything about a coach having to be present with you? Remember, around 1996 this electronic marvel called the Internet appeared. With it, e-mail emerged. And we’ve become pretty accustomed to online learning.

In fact, through a variety of technologies—including Skype,the internationally popular online phone/video system—I can communicate personally with you wherever you are.

That’s why I am offering you a slot in my new online coaching program, which is titled:

Champion Communicators

Your big advantage: Even though we may never sit down together for a face-to-face coaching session, I will coach you through “distance learning.” Regardless of your location, you will enjoy the same potential results my in-person coaching clients receive.

Bob Burg Tells Why He Wrote The Go-Giver

INTERVIEW WITH BOB BURG

Shortly after reading Bob Burg's new book--The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea, co-authored by John David Mann--I enjoyed the privilege of interviewing Bob. Many of you know Bob through his other books, such as the bestselling Endless Referrals and Winning Without Intimidation. Reading this interview will help you grasp the book's purpose.

Q: Why did you write The Go-Giver? Was there a special message you wanted to get across to ambitious people, one they weren't getting so compellingly elsewhere?

BURG: The purpose of the book was to shift a "consciousness premise" which says there is some kind of exclusivity between benefiting others and benefiting oneself. There isn't. And, the premise of this book is that shifting one's focus from getting to giving (meaning constantly and consistently adding value to people's lives) is not only a nice way to live life. . .but a very profitable way as well.

Q: You have established an enviable reputation in the nonfiction arena, so why did you select a fiction format this time around?

BURG: Thank you for your kind compliment. The reason we decided to make this a short "parable/fable" instead of the usual "how-to" is because it seemed as though his message was made to be communicated in the form of a really fun to read story. The cool part--I think--is the surprise ending. And I totally credit the great storytelling to John David Mann. He not only is a hugely successful entrepreneur but a genius as a writer. The fact that it's such a fun read means that people will be more likely to absorb the message and read the book a second and third time.

Q: In your work with many corporate leaders, do you find real life examples of the characters you portray in The Go-Giver?

BURG: All the time. And, it was such a great feeling when, as we were sending the unpublished manuscript out to some of the top authors and business leaders around for their feedback and critique, they continually commented with words such as, "Yes, this is how it's done" and "Thank you, Bob and John, for finally sharing what the successful people already know and others don't want to believe." It really served as a terrific form of validation. And, of course, John and I, in comparing our own experiences, have both witnessed these traits in the many successful people we've had the pleasure to know and work with.

Q. Do you expect The Go-Giver to have any impact on what business schools teach during the next decade?

BURG: Great question. Difficult to say. I believe that--to the degree this book is embraced, first by individuals and then small groups and organizations and then, hopefully, larger and larger organizations and business--this can cause a definite shift, first in understanding and then in action. Remember, though, the message in this book is not particularly new; the very successful people are already operating as Go-Givers; what we're looking to do is to bring this way of doing business to the masses. Will the business schools begin teaching this? I don't know; personally, I'd love to see it as required reading in business schools. Then again, I'd like to date Cindy Crawford and that hasn't happened yet.

Q: What would be the most desirable result you could achieve among readers of The Go-Giver?

BURG: Perhaps the most desirable for me in the short term is simply to know that it made a significant difference in someone's life. We're already hearing from people who say that immediately after reading it their attitude changed and that soon after, their success level began to change. I love that. I absolutely love that. Long term; hey, I've always been a big thinker, so doing my part to perhaps cause a shift in Universal Consciousness with regards to this aspect works for me.

Solve Your E-mail Problems--Now!

ARE YOU READY TO SOLVE THOSE PESKY,
CREDIBILITY-SMASHING E-MAIL PROBLEMS?

You know the problems I’m referring to. . . .

--Joe from the sales department e-mails you and refers to his
“attached weekly report.” Oops. . .there’s no attachment.

--Elizabeth e-mails you, including a link to “an
important, relevant article you’ll want to read.” Alas, the
link is no longer active.

--Darlene sends you an e-mail she intended to send to
Audrey, her supervisor. Even worse, the e-mail talks
unfavorably about you.

--Art sends an e-mail that shares the latest joke he has picked
up on the Internet. You notice that he includes your e-mail
address in the TO section, along with those of twenty of his friends,
who now have your e-mail address without your consent.

Until now, you didn’t have a solution.

Sure, you told employees they were making e-mail mistakes. Yet you had nothing in writing to explain the problem, and to remind them what to do next time.

The result? The same problems mentioned above kept
happening. And others, too.

--Dorena sent Bill an e-mail, summarizing his performance appraisal the previous day. Bill became angrier than he was during the appraisal. Reprimands in writing carry far more impact than when issued face-to-face.

--Juan created an office stir by sending romantic messages to Consuela, two or three times daily. “I put in so much time here,” he reasoned, “that I can use the computer for my personal needs for just a few minutes. I still get my work done, just like always.”

Now, you do have a solution to these and dozens of other e-mail problems.

Really? That’s terrific. What is it? Where do I get it?

The answers:

What: Dr. Bill Lampton’s new e-book, “Excellent E-mailing: 55 Tips
for Cyberspace Success”

Where: Available as an e-book on Bill’s Web site shopping cart:
http://www.championshipcommunication.com/store/index.htm

Well, I’d like to hear what other professional people say
about this e-book before I place my order.

That’s understandable. So let’s check on comments from experts.

Addresses and solves every major e-mail problem
I've looked over your e-mail tips and thought they were all really good! I can't think of anything you left out and you had many that I had never really considered, but made so much sense.
Anita Bruzzese, Syndicated Newspaper Columnist and author of 45 Things You Do That Drive Your Boss Crazy. . .And How to Avoid Them.
www.45things.com

Advice is clear and practical
“A great compilation of common sense guidance on effective emailing and communication in general; Bill has a knack for offering very clear and practical advice for people and companies trying to improve the effectiveness of their internal and external communication”
Steven Freund, General Manager, The Ritz-Carlton Lodge, Reynolds Plantation http://www.ritzcarlton.com/en/Properties/ReynoldsPlantation/Default.htm

Even veteran email users can learn from this E-Book.

NOTE: Watch Terry's one-minute video testimonial:

Emphasizes the courtesy that’s essential for business success
"It's unfortunate that ever-metastasizing email has now become the technology without manners. Respected business-types who hew faithfully to Emily Post's dictates at the dining table will think nothing of behaving like boors when it's time to sit down at the keyboard. Thankfully, Bill Lampton has packaged this nifty set of 55 email commandments to remind us that the accepted rules of civilized social intercourse translate with equal force to online correspondence."
Alf Nucifora, Nucifora Consulting Group

Gives you the “winner’s edge” when you e-mail someone
"When you are face-to-face with someone, you can instantly see if you've made a mistake, ask what's wrong, and make amends. Send a horrible e-mail, and you may never realize the harm you've done to your career or your company. By applying Bill Lampton's 55 Tips for Cyberspace Success, you'll have the winner's edge instead by avoiding mistakes when you e-mail."
Donald Mitchell, management consultant, author of The Ultimate Competitive Advantage and other leading business books.
http://www.mitchellandco.com

Shows us how to make sure the message has the right “tone”
“This is a very comprehensive list. My biggest comment was addressed already which is read the email fully after writing and make sure the “tone” is what you intend. The worse thing about email is that sometimes tone is difficult to grasp. An email you meant to come across one way could come across different from what was intended.”
