Duration 1 Days 6 CPD hours Time management training most often begins with setting goals. These goals are recorded and may be broken down into a project, an action plan, or a simple task list. Activities are then rated based on urgency and importance, priorities assigned, and deadlines set. This process results in a plan with a task list or calendar of activities. Routine and recurring tasks are often given less focus to free time to work on tasks that contribute to important goals. This entire process is supported by a skill set that should include personal motivation, delegation skills, organization tools, and crisis management. 1 - GETTING STARTED * Icebreaker * Housekeeping Items * The Parking Lot * Workshop Objectives 2 - SETTING SMART GOALS * The Three P?s * The SMART Way * Prioritizing Your Goals * Visualization 3 - PRIORITIZING YOUR TIME * The 80/20 Rule * The Urgent/Important Matrix * Being Assertive 4 - PLANNING WISELY * Creating Your Productivity Journal * Maximizing the Power of Your Productivity Journal * The Glass Jar: Rocks, Pebbles, Sand, and Water * Chunk, Block, and Tackle * Ready, Fire, Aim! 5 - TACKLING PROCRASTINATION * Why We Procrastinate * Nine Ways to Overcome Procrastination * Eat That Frog! 6 - CRISIS MANAGEMENT * When the Storm Hits * Creating a Plan * Executing the Plan * Lessons Learned 7 - ORGANIZING YOUR WORKSPACE * De-Clutter * Managing Workflow * Dealing with E-mail * Using Calendars * 8 - DELEGATING MADE EASY * When to Delegate * To Whom Should You Delegate? * How Should You Delegate? * Keeping Control * The Importance of Full Acceptance 9 - SETTING A RITUAL * What is a Ritual? * Ritualizing Sleep, Meals, and Exercise * Example Rituals * Using Rituals to Maximize Time 10 - MEETING MANAGEMENT * Deciding if a Meeting is Necessary * Using the PAT Approach * Building the Agenda * Keeping Things on Track * Making Sure the Meeting Was Worthwhile 11 - ALTERNATIVES TO MEETINGS * Instant Messaging and Chat Rooms * Teleconferencing * E-mail Lists and Online Groups * Collaboration Applications 12 - WRAPPING UP * Words from the Wise * Review of Parking Lot * Lessons Learned * Completion of Action Plans and Evaluations ADDITIONAL COURSE DETAILS: Nexus Humans Time Management training program is a workshop that presents an invigorating mix of sessions, lessons, and masterclasses meticulously crafted to propel your learning expedition forward.

Sales and trade exist because people need and are looking for that which is better than what they have. Sometimes, they don’t even know that they have a need. The critical piece of this process is “connecting the dots.” We must demonstrate that we have listened respectfully, and, as experts, show how the needs are tied directly to our answer. Just because they have a need and we have a solution doesn’t mean that it’s a guaranteed sale. Connecting their needs to our solution is precisely what the Sales Presentation Skills class is all about. Outcomes – Participants will be able to: * Research and understand each unique customer to demonstrate expertise; * Conduct productive meetings to discover useful information to formulate the most effective solution(s); * Propose plans that are fully aligned with the target’s situation and needs; * Increase abilities to engage and motivate the prospect/client through compelling presentations; * Convey emotional intelligence enthusiasm and sincerity to get client buy-in; * Strengthen professionalism through dynamic story-telling, elevating the level of rapport; and * Create positive messages even from negative, modeling a problem-solving, can-do attitude for the audience.   Online Format—Sales Presentation Skills is a 4-hour interactive virtual class.
