À propos de ce contenu audio

 Can you believe that small moments of trust and safety matter more than any sales technique? In this second of two parts with Mike Mears, we shift the focus directly into sales, leadership, and the psychology behind real influence. We explore what Mike has learned throughout his career, including why one-way communication fails and how dialogue reveals what leaders often miss. The discussion quickly moves into how assumptions quietly damage sales performance, why curiosity consistently outperforms pressure, and how traits can shape success in sales. As the episode continues, we get into the path of safety, trust, clarity, and challenge, plus why skipping any step undermines everything that follows. We unpack social pain, how easily it's triggered, and why the brain remembers it longer than physical injury. Mike explains why trust is fragile, how consistency outweighs charisma, and how even small facial expressions can create lasting damage. Mike leaves us by talking about how steady course correction beats dramatic intervention when it comes to motivating teams and driving growth. Topics covered during this episode include: How short, focused messaging followed by dialogue creates stronger organizational alignment.What employee involvement reveals about decision-making, ownership, and long-term performance.How leadership behaviours directly influence sales environments.Why making assumptions about sales performance shortcuts understanding and limits improvement.How curiosity functions as a skill that can be developed rather than a fixed trait.What safety, trust, clarity, and challenge look like as a natural psychological sequence.How unfairness, exclusion, or uncertainty can instantly derail productive sales conversations.The importance of avoiding unintentional social pain in everyday customer interactions.How small gestures, consistency, and "free gifts" establish psychological safety and trust.What reciprocity reveals about human behaviour across psychology and anthropology.Why trust depends on credibility, reliability, intimacy, and minimized self-interest.How subtle facial expressions can damage trust long after the moment passes.Why visual storytelling and metaphors make messages more memorable. Uncover the unseen forces influencing trust, motivation, and performance in this episode!
