Just about everyone who is in business wants to do better; they want more sales, more customers, a bigger market share, more profit, more highly motivated employees, better customer satisfaction.  There is pressure to perform, even as the economy begins, slowly, to improve that pressure is still there.   So how can you get the edge to stay ahead?  A very successful finance director that I once worked for told me that the most valuable resource in any business is management time.  Twenty years on and running a couple of businesses myself I now completely understand how important that advice was and still is.  If you can make better use of your time, if you can be more effective day to day and if you can help those who work for you to do the same then I guess that would be really valuable to you.  As an NLP Trainer, neuro-linguistic programming has codified this in an unsalable format for people, so that even busy and pressured business people can integrate the knowledge and skills that they get through NLP techniques to improve both their personal and their business success.

So how can NLP Training help you and your business; well here is a little taster for you.

·         You can understand how people think and produce behaviour through the NLP Communication model.  NLP offers a comprehensive understanding of how people filter the information about their environment that they take on board through their 5 senses.  The model then demonstrates how they process the data to produce certain patterns or behaviours.  Knowing all of this can then help guide you on how to present information to others also making you aware of how you produce your own behaviours, identify patterns and recognise how these are perceived by others.

·         NLP teaches you about beliefs and how they can help or hinder your business.  Whenever I am training or coaching within an organisation limiting and negative beliefs are always part of the bigger problem.  The most successful people in business live their lives and careers holding empowering/positive beliefs about themselves.  What would happen to you if you removed your own limiting beliefs, and created new inspiring beliefs which served you well for the future?  What does that future look like now?

·         NLP also teaches people how to build to rapport; how to have solid and long term lasting relationship with customers, employees, colleagues and suppliers.  It also demonstrates how you can examine people’s conscious and unconscious behaviours, with improved sensory acuity and the support of eye patterns.  Identifying these NLP skills can provide you with a much better appreciation of the impact your communication has on others.

·         Most people, particularly in business tend to use language without thinking about it.  Imagine having conscious control over your language; what I mean by this is you have the ability to listen, question, reframe and influence with precision – have perfect communication to achieve the very best results.

·         In business you are always selling something, be it an idea, a budget, a product or a service; NLP teaches a tried and tested sales process.  A bit like sales you are always negotiating in business; NLP techniques can show you how to get more sophisticated in your negotiation rather than just splitting it down the middle.

I know from experience that using NLP in business is essential.  Don’t get left behind if you’re not learning about NLP to improve your business, I bet that your competitors are doing it to improve theirs.
