Section 1 - Weekly Update

Another week has flown by and another couple of offers made but no more heads of terms signed just yet. In sales, success is often measured by numbers and statistics such as appointments made, presentations given, and leads called. While these metrics are important for evaluating progress, they do not guarantee sales. The key takeaway is that possession of opportunities doesn't automatically lead to wins.

The message is not to discredit the value of these metrics but to inspire and uplift struggling salespeople. Success in sales is indeed a numbers game, and it's possible to win it. If your closing ratio is low, you need more chances, which means more outreach and more attempts to reach decision-makers.

The analogy of possession in a game highlights that having opportunities is just the beginning; it's crucial to capitalise on them. If you're struggling to reach decision-makers, consider revising your approach. If closing deals is the issue, focus on presenting your product or service passionately and engaging decision-makers with a compelling vision of their experience.

Sales is not an exact science, but continuous analysis and improvement of your sales process are essential. Embrace questions, both about your lead outreach and your closing techniques. By evaluating your strengths and weaknesses, you can make the necessary adjustments to improve your performance in the sales game.

In summary, sales is a numbers game that can be won by examining your processes, adapting your strategies, and never giving up. It's about continually striving to maximise your potential and make the most of the opportunities that come your way.

You’ll find a great book to aid this process and one which helped me a lot in the expert section below.

Section 3 - Property Deals by Paul Langsahw

Numerous seasoned property investors, myself included, who specialize in the Public Rented Sector, are currently exercising caution and observing from the sidelines due to the uncertainties surrounding the new Renters Reform Bill in England.

My investment journey has largely revolved around the social housing sector, primarily because of the societal benefits it offers and its reputation for providing a stable income stream. Given the prevailing uncertainties, I was thrilled to discover an enticing opportunity within the Social Housing Investment sphere, orchestrated by the reputable Big Roar Company.

These opportunities are presented in tranches, and I have recently secured a position in one. However, it's important to note that they are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis, and historically, they tend to be quickly subscribed.

The entry point is exceptionally accessible, requiring just £25,000 for a 60-month commitment. In return, investors can expect a fixed return of 14.8% per annum, amounting to a remarkable 74% over the course of five years.

The investment structure incorporates monthly payments, which encompass both interest and capital returns. This means that your capital is steadily repaid on a monthly basis, alongside the accrued return. In essence, your total payout after 60 months will reach £43,500 (£25,000 principal plus £18,500 in returns).

Here are some key advantages of this investment opportunity:

- Government Backing: This investment enjoys the support of government funding.

- Partnerships with Leading Providers: The initiative collaborates with the most prominent social housing providers in the UK.

- Ethical and Proven Model: It aligns with an ethical cause and has been rigorously tested, providing investors with confidence.

- Attractive Fixed Returns: Offering a compelling and fixed annual return rate of 14.8%.

- Monthly Capital Repayment: Investors receive their capital back on a monthly basis from the outset.

- Passive Income: This investment offers a hands-off approach, providing a passive income stream.

- Resilience: It's built to withstand crises, recessions, and pandemics, making it a robust investment choice.

To secure your allocation, you can receive a Reservation Form and pay a refundable reservation fee of £5,000. Act swiftly to seize this opportunity, as these investments tend to be in high demand.

Section 4 - Alternative Investment World with Lee Smith

Lee’s keeping simple this week with one word …… OIL!

Oil has been considered a viable investment option for several reasons:

1. Global Demand: Oil is a fundamental commodity with a consistently high global demand. It is a critical source of energy for transportation, industrial processes, and heating, making it an essential part of modern life.

2. Diversification: Investing in oil can provide diversification benefits to an investment portfolio. It often has a low correlation with traditional financial assets like stocks and bonds, which means that oil investments can help spread risk.

3. Inflation Hedge: Oil has historically acted as a hedge against inflation. When the general price level rises, the price of oil tends to rise as well, helping to protect the real value of investments.

4. Supply and Demand Dynamics: Oil prices are influenced by supply and demand dynamics. Geopolitical events, production cuts, and changes in global economic conditions can lead to fluctuations in oil prices, creating opportunities for investors to profit.

5. Income Generation: Some oil investments, such as oil stocks and certain types of bonds, can generate regular income in the form of dividends or interest payments. This income can be appealing to income-oriented investors.

6. Resource Scarcity: Oil is a finite resource, and as reserves are depleted over time, its value may increase. This scarcity can potentially drive up the long-term price of oil.

However, it's essential to consider the potential downsides and risks associated with oil investments:

Section 5 - Expert Corner (Definitely worth a read)

In a world inundated with sales books on getting to yes, this book recommends just the opposite, focusing on how increasing your failure rate can greatly accelerate your movement toward ultimate success.

Go for No! chronicles four days in the life of fictional character Eric Bratton, a call-reluctant copier salesman who wakes up one morning to find himself in a strange house with no idea of how he got there. But this house doesn't belong to just anyone! It belongs to him...a wildly successful, 10-years-in-the-future version of the person he could become if he learns to overcome his self-limiting beliefs and overcome his fear of failure.

Through the dialogue of the two main characters, the authors have fashioned an entertaining story to present the key concepts essential to sales success. Listeners learn:

• What it takes to outperform 92 percent of the world's salespeople

• That failing and failure are two very different things

• Why it's important to celebrate success and failure

• How to get past failures quickly and move on

• That the most empowering word in the world is not yes...it's NO!

Written to be intentionally short and to the point, Go for No! is a quick, fun listen with valuable lessons that can change the way you think, sell, and live!
