		<itunes:summary>I am a big fan of Frank Furness. He is an international speaker and trainer in sales and is currently working in over 48 countries. Frank specialises in new business generation and the use of technology in generating leads. I regularly quote Frankrsquo;s saying that cold calling is the price you pay for not doing enough lead generation activity in other areas. In this recording Frank reveals 17 strategies for lead generation including some of the things you can do with online technology.

Frank puts the reason why people struggle to generate enough leads down to the fact that they typically only follow one or two strategies. They are also more focused on sales than lead generation. According to Frank, you can have the best sales technique in the world but if you do not get in front of enough of the right prospects then you will struggle. Conversely, you can be an amateur at sales and yet if you do enough prospecting then someone is likely to buy from you. Sure, work on your technique but  once you have got leads coming in.

If you only listen to one audio on this site then make it this one! Frank provides a wealth of information and lots of references to free resources. I have to say that it is one of my favourite recordings and I will be listening to it myself several times to make sure that I am doing all 17 strategies. 

You may want to listen to this more than once. If you get a chance then take notes. Although it is delivered in an easy to digest fashion it is packed with practical ideas.

		<itunes:summary>How realistic are your goals? If you diligently follow the SMART formula for setting goals then your goals are just not big enough!! That is the conclusion that Accidental Salesmanreg; interviewee David Hyner of Stretch Development came to after interviewing over 100 top achievers who are all creating amazing levels of success. In this recording I interview David on the 5 step model which he developed by boiling down all the wisdom generated from his research into an easy to follow process he calls 'The Massive Goal Principle'.

In my own words the five steps are:
Step 1 ndash; Set a big fat hairy goal!!
Step 2 ndash; Research your goal and break down into tasks
Step 3 ndash; Prioritise tasks and integrate into your daily calendar
Step 4 ndash; Take action!
Step 5 ndash; Never give up  (Keep on keeping on!)

I first met David on a trek in Peru. He was talking about his research and I thought I knew what he was talking about because it all seemed so simple. It was only after I had been on his workshop and explored the mindset behind the 5 steps that I understood how profound the insights were. By listening to this audio you will begin to understand the power of the 5 step model and how to take it from theory into action. It will get you thinking bigger and give you a structure for turning your big fat hairy goals into tangible results. 

Each time I listen to it I fired up all over again!! I challenge you to follow Davidrsquo;s insights and not get inspired! Once you have listened to this audio I promise you that you will never settle for realistic goals again! 

You may want to listen to this more than once. If you get a chance then take notes. Although it is delivered in an easy to digest fashion it is packed with practical ideas.
