Details of the next Brummie Forum     Tuesday 29th June   12 – 2pm   Grosvenor Casino    Birmingham Five Ways(Originally Posted by Nina Slingsby on LinkedIn and copied here)

The sales section of this year’s presentations is now well under way and having so far covered who and how to target, along with targeting specific markets in June we will cover more in-depth sales techniques.

We will be joined by Marian Hubble who will focus on Success in Business with NLP. This will include steps to maximising sales, overcoming challenges and being the best you can.

Barry Mapp will follow with a presentation on “Mind Mapping in the Sales Process”.

Mind Mapping has been described as the Swiss Army Knife for the Brain because it is so useful for many different brain activities and tasks. In this session Barry outlines what Mind Mapping is (and it isn’t “spider diagrams”!) and then shares examples of the usefulness of the technique in assisting the Sales Process.

We meet at 12pm for a light lunch and networking followed by our speakers and your chance to ask questions and find out how to increase sales in your business. Event charge of £10 payable on the day but please call Karen on 0121 631 3535 or email sm_gc-birmingham@rank.com to confirm your attendance to this forum and feel free to invite along friends and colleagues to this popular networking event.

All graphical mapping techniques do better than lists. The rules of Mind Mapping enable more information to be summarised on the paper space than is possible with other graphic techniques. More efficient use of the paper space with less clutter is a key USP for Mind Mapping over other graphical mapping techniquesSo how good is each technique at seeing the big picture, key points and detail?Lists 1/10Spider Diagrams 5/10Concept Bubble Diagrams 5/10Mind Maps 9/10

Hierarchy is Good for Learning, Bad for Leadership

Hierarchy – Good for Learning, Bad for LeadershipThe brain loves to make new connections. New connections are of course new associations. When associations are random in nature they are easily misplaced (in the brain as well as in your filing cabinet) and thus easily forgotten.Therefore as far as learning and remembering are concerned ‘ordered’ associations [...]

Hierarchy – Good for Learning, Bad for LeadershipThe brain loves to make new connections. New connections are of course new associations. When associations are random in nature they are easily misplaced (in the brain as well as in your filing cabinet) and thus easily forgotten.Therefore as far as learning and remembering are concerned ‘ordered’ associations are best. Hierarchical ordering of associations is the way the brain can most quickly absorb and retrieve information.A hierarchical arrangement of ideas allows the brain to quickly move between different levels of meaning. To quickly ‘zoom out’ to the big picture or to zoom in to a component or detail.The most effective tool for helping us to pre-order or re-order any new and existing associations is the Mind Map (by the way NOT spider diagrams) basically because one of the ‘rules’ of Mind Mapping is to order information in this highly effective hierarchical way.If you live in the UK and you want to learn how to be more effective as a learner, check out my Mind Mapping and other workshops hereHierarchy is however bad for business because it leads to ‘command and control’ mentality (see here)
