Learn Speak Teach Episode #91 with Michael Oliver.If you’re a salesperson, you may have seen similarities between the popular sales method by Jeremy Miner,, NEPQ (Neuro-Emotional Persuasion Questions), and the “How to Sell Network Marketing” book by Michael Oliver. In fact, NEPQ is actually a reworded version of Michael’s “Natural Selling” methodology, of which he’s been teaching for decades.Michael Oliver is an internationally renowned sales trainer, coach, and best-selling author with over 40 years of experience in the sales industry. Michael is also the founder of Natural Selling Sales Training, which helps salespeople learn how to sell the way people buy.Through his course “Natural Selling: The Art & Science Of Selling With Integrity,” Michael offers a step-by-step blueprint to double sales without rejection or objections.Michael’s approach to sales — the Natural Selling Conversational Dialogue — emphasizes genuine rapport and self-persuasion. Michael seamlessly blends ancient communication philosophies with modern strategies, championing authenticity in every transaction.In this episode, Michael talks about the origin of Natural Selling, its development, principles, and how it became a thing. Michael also touches upon how Jeremy Miner’s NEPQ framework is a carbon copy of the Natural Selling principles and questioning techniques that Michael developed. Michael taught Jeremy around 17 years ago, and Jeremy even left him a testimonial on his website, Natural Selling.Watch the episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/cCJUmDQPMeYDuring this episode, you will learn about:[01:20] Episode Glimpse[01:44] Power of dialogue in selling[03:05] Michael’s bio -[03:45] Michael’s experience training with Deepak Chopra [07:40] Michael’s framework for selling[09:12] The five principles of natural selling[11:08] The purpose of a business[12:20] The idea of self-influence in buying[15:29] Jeremy Miner’s NEPQ is a copy of Michael’s How to Sell Network Marketing[17:35] Michael wrote the book over 20 years ago[18:13] The essential element that Jeremy’s NEPQ lacks[20:16] The importance of detachment[24:06] Key frameworks of natural selling that make it successful[24:34] The most important stage of selling[27:54] 5 questions to reveal a customer’s emotional buying blueprint[31:45] Importance of integrity and congruence in sales[37:55] How to connect with MichaelLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/naturalselling/ [40:13] Integrating detachment into daily life[42:39] Wrap-upKey Takeaways:  • The whole idea of sales is no longer about selling. It is about helping the other person buy it. ~Michael Oliver [07:43] • The foundation of selling is based on philosophy, not on technique. ~Michael Oliver [08:19]• Selling is allowing the customers to influence themselves to buy. ~Michael Oliver [12:43]• Set up the communication to show that you’re not there to persuade them to do something they don’t want, and you’re not going to take a lot of time.

Cultivating healthy resilience involves understanding the connection between our beliefs, emotions, and physical responses. We are subconsciously guided by our emotions in our daily lives because our beliefs give rise to our emotions, which, in turn, produce physical symptoms. These symptoms can either halt our progress or propel us toward the life we truly desire.In this insightful episode, Ben Albert sits down with Jennifer Watson, a former D1 athlete, All-American turned healer, and high-performance coach. Jennifer has transformed from battling depression to becoming an integrative physical therapist, TEDx speaker, and international coach.Jennifer shares invaluable insights on what you need to know before taking a leap and how to cultivate healthy resilience. Moreover, she addresses how to recognize when you are in the weeds and the steps you should take to make a change.Furthermore, she introduces a unique approach to self-discovery – the 5-sense step, which will help you clarify the things you want for success in your life.Watch the full episode on Youtube: https://youtu.be/xWiEovYJ8eYQuote Of The Day: “Sometimes you have to take a leap and build your wings on the way down.” ~Jennifer Watson Timestamp:[01:23] Episode #93 of Soul Purpose Leadership Podcast w/ Ben Albert[02:11] A quick bio of our guest, Jennifer Watson[03:13] Quote of the day: “Sometimes you have to take a leap and build your wings on the way down.” ~Jennifer Watson [03:46] Example of the leaps Jennifer has taken in her life[06:08] What you need to know before taking a leap[08:20] How to remain resilient after taking a leap[11:12] How do you recognize when you are in the weeds, and what steps should you take to make a change?[16:35] Jennifer’s podcast: https://www.jenniferwatsonleadership.com/podcast[16:57] Episode #93 of Soul Purpose Leadership Podcast w/ Ben Albert[17:15] Connect and learn more from Jennifer WatsonLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jennifer-watson-6b08b9121/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thejenniferwatson/[18:43] The 5-sense step to start getting used to what your body enjoys[19:11] Integration assignmentKey Takeaways:  • “Sometimes you have to take a leap and build your wings on the way down.” ~Jennifer Watson [03:13]• There is something bigger out there meant for us, and when we take that leap, it begins to configure for us. [05:32]      • We are subconsciously guided by our emotions because our beliefs give rise to our emotions, and these emotions produce physical symptoms. These symptoms can either stop us in our tracks, prompting us to revert to what we know or move us forward into the life we truly desire. [08:44] • “Emotions are energy, just like food is energy.” ~Jennifer Watson [15:21]Integration Assignment: Practice the 5-sense step: Take a moment to reflect on what you like to listen to, see, taste, smell, and feel. Pay attention to where you feel it, how you experience it, and describe your body because that’s your body saying yes, which is the final sixth sense of intuition. This will help you clarify the things you want for success in your life.People Mentioned and Other Resources:1.
