112) Andy Bounds - How to communicate better and cause impact

Today’s conversation is with Andy Bounds. Andy was awarded the title Britain’s Sales Trainer of the Year, and is an expert in communication to help businesses and individuals achieve more. Andy has worked in 40+ countries, with some of the world's largest and most famous companies, as well as for Governments, professional bodies and business experts. His core belief is “AFTERs drive everything. It's not what you say that counts. It’s what people do differently AFTER you’ve said it.” Inevitably in this conversation, we learn how to communicate better, sell more, and be more successful. That’s a pretty good set of achievements in my book. Key areas that we discuss include what communications we need to stop, how to replace wasteful communication, and communicating clearly by taking the other party’s perspective into account. You will also find out about how Andy cut his working week to 4 days while growing his business, and how you can implement some of the same measures in your business or career. This episode mainly focuses on improving the impact of our communication and getting the most from our time, but I do sneak in some sales related questions which Andy shares his expertise on.
