Do you know the business rules game?

“There’s three parts of every business and if you fail in any one of the three, you’re going to be out of business.

One of them is the fulfillment part.

You have to deliver, produce whatever it is you’re selling.

And your ability to do that will dictate whether you stay in business.

So that’s why one of the eight unbreakable rules is your business plan.

What is it going to take to attract customers, sell the customers and then provide what it is you have agreed to?

And then what is the service end on the back end?

Is there a warranty, customer service, et cetera? You got to cover all of it. Thing is just that’s great and that’s important, but that just gets the ball rolling.

Now we got to play the game.” – Sean Castrina, Making Conversations Count – December 2022

Wendy Harris Making Conversations Count Podcast

What can I tell you about me?! I'm very good at getting other people to talk about themselves. Having been in the sales arena for over 3 decades, my skillset has developed to enable others to introduce their services to other businesses. Talking about myself always feels odd.

But here goes. I've made over 2 million phone calls in my career, helped 1000's people pick up the phone and have better conversations which has leaked into life in general, I've created billions of £££'s in opportunities to do business.

I love nothing more than listening to other people's stories and gently guiding people to share their insights with others.

Whenever I'm in training it's always interactive and fun. I truly believe we learn by being involved.

It's why I started my podcast, to share these stories and be helpful to the business community. I also wrote a book with many of my training exercises in it for those starting out as the demands of your cash flow when you get going mean there's often a wheel not oiled as it should be.

For me, conversations is where it all happens.
