Mastering Ethical Persuasion: Peter McLaughlin on NLP and Sales for Solopreneurs
[Legacy post: Small Business Talent] My guest on the podcast today, Peter McLaughlin, is a salesman at heart. In his 25-year career he’s run the gamut, from serving as Sales and Marketing Director for a Wall Street publisher, to selling to the C-suite in the technology and healthcare sector, to his current role as a business-to-business sales trainer, speaker, coach and consultant.
One of factors that sets Peter apart from other sales experts is his deep knowledge of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), direct and indirect language patterns and hypnosis. He’s been studying the principles and practice of subconscious influence since his certification as a hypnotherapist almost a decade ago. It was this education and his subsequent work as a hypnotherapy practitioner that led him to combine the skills of two worlds that rarely, if ever, intersect – sales and subconscious persuasion.
In 2013, Peter wrote Becoming the Customer: Empathy, Influence and Closing the Sale, a fascinating book that we’ll be discussing today. In his role as owner of BTC Sales Development Peter leads sales trainings on the theoretical underpinnings and the practical techniques described in his book.
Peter’s unique approach to sales training and coaching helps his clients to master the human-to-human aspect of effective selling. Of course, that’s vital to all of us as self-employed professionals — so don’t miss this interview — scroll down to the Podcast Player and listen now!
