More Than A Few Words
If you’re like me, you’ve started lots of things that you hoped would become habits. You run at them full bore for a little while and then you lose steam. That start and stop is natural, but it doesn’t have to be.
In this episode, Wendy Harris shares tips to make your new habits a permanent part of your routine. The first step is to start with one thing. Making too many changes at once is overwhelming and not sustainable, so start with one new behavior and do it every day.
Scale Her Up
Wendy Harris from Making Conversations Count is with Dr Brenda Hector on the podcast. We talk about conversing with customers, and telemarketing, as well as her story of becoming an entrepreneur, and how she balances running her business and living her life.
ProcureSmart[er]
The world of hospitality is where Wendy’s communication skills were first formed and has stood her in good stead for the many synergies with cold calling and lead generation training she now delivers. As you will hear in this episode with Dr Sharron Koch, we talk about how timing can be the biggest stumbling block to building relationships. This podcast, ProcureSmart[er]: Humans of Hospitality specialises in conversations around hospitality and its challenges.
