  • #8 Trainers notes: explain Voice - tone, pitch, pace, volume and clarity on the phone Activity - I am the voice of AAPT – state of mind Key Words - Match and mirror key words and representational systems
  • #9 Trainers notes: explain Did you know that we have 4 languages in English – and that we are dominate in one. Refer back to the “map” and highlight that we receive events through senses – Audio, Visual, Kinesthetic & Ad, from that information we express that in our behaviour through V, A, K, Ad. For selling all relates back to words that reflects the buyers map of the world – how much more powerful are we going to be if we can communicate in the buyers language.
