MEERKAT SELLING
Imagine if you filmed thousands of retail sales professionals in close-up action, and studied their technique. What could you learn if you could view the nuances of sucessful selling, time and again on film, replaying key moments from secretly recorded mystery-shop evaluations?
That's precisely what Nick has done over 8 years in preparation for MEERKAT SELLING.
This book explains what it is to become a True Professional in big-ticket retailing. Nick distils the best (and worst) elements from the sales behaviours of big-ticket sales professionals in the worlds most prestigious brands, and presents an easy-to-recall sales model that really works.

| NDK CHANGE WORKSHOPS |

This one day event helps people to feel more positive about change. Our mantra is "The best thing about the past is that it is over!" 
Our approach is to provide a series of experiential learning activities that illustrate the influence of personal state and the 'frames' that we put around circumstances and situations. Techniques and thinking skills drawn from our clinical backgrounds in counselling and therapy provide hugely valuable tools for dealing with uncertainty. By introducing new ways of addressing the personal fears and anxieties that we all have from time to time, Nick Drake-Knight and his team provide resources that can be used equally effectively at work, or at home!

We are passionate about the quality of young people’s education. We know from our clinical backgrounds that the suggestions given to young people in everyday language can have massive impact on their self-image and self-worth. Language patterns that empower create great opportunities for youngsters – sadly, all too often teachers, advisers, carers and (especially) parents get it horribly wrong in the use of suggestion. By understanding some simple rules of linguistic suggestion educationalists can learn to empower their students in way they previously thought impossible...find out more »
