During that crucial face-to-face sales presentation meeting, ask for the deal and then SHUT UP. Many sales people ramble through a pitch then don’t actually ask for the deal and those that do often talk themselves out of the deal.

Right then, another of our occasional detours away from the main themes of the MeetingWorld site, albeit with the focus on meetings, and in this instance, a strange one. The title gives you some idea:
Meetings with Remarkable Men: All and everything. 2nd Series""” target=”_blank”>Meetings With Remarkable Men Gurdjieff introduces us to some of the companions he encountered in his travels to the most remote regions of Central Asia. With colorful episodes from his adventures, he brings to life the story of his own relentless search for a real and universal knowledge. The book can be read as a colorful narrative or psychological autobiography, but the meaning of its contents can be better appreciated in relation to the expositions of his previously published ideas.”

The best definition of consensus we’ve come across to date:

“Consensus brings together the best from everyone’s ideas. This ensures that all opinions, ideas and concerns are taken into account. Decisions are reached in a dialogue between equals, who take each other seriously and who recognise each other’s equal rights. Because, in consensus, we all actively agree to the final decision we’re much more committed to turning it into reality.”

Okay, okay – yes what follows here is a bit ‘off the wall’ or ‘left field’ – but the title and product description intrigued me. Admittedly this isn’t the type of meeting I’d usually focus on at MeetingWorld but hey, nothing wrong with a detour is there? No of curse there isn’t. And so . . .

Supernatural: Meetings with the Ancient Teachers of Mankind""” target=”_blank”>Graham Hancock investigates the origins of consciousness with reference to the work of David Lewis-Williams and his theory of the neuropsychological origins of cave art. It also goes further in proposing that those worlds and entities encountered in shamanic visions are not mere hallucinations but very real and that altered states are the means to gain entry to them.”

“Meetings are effective because the written word only carries 7% of the true meaning and feeling. Meetings are better than telephone conferences because only 38% of the meaning and feeling is carried in the way that things are said. The other 55% of the meaning and feeling is carried in facial expression and non-verbal signals. That’s why meetings are so useful.”
