Your What's Up in WeChat

Your What’s Up is a short description of what you stand for, not what you do. This is different from your name, which tells people what you do or who you are. We know in life people may not remember your name, who you are or what you do. But you stand for people will remember for life. Thus it is important to describe what you stand for in your WeChat Whats’Up. Most people do not set up their Whats’s Up, as they did not realize that when people search for you in WeChat, your Whats’up will be seen immediately. The following are good Whats’ up: Wise quotes or quotes that reflect your positioning eg Mobile Number Change Life Your company’s name, website, email and mobile number  A short message that invites people to add you as their friend on WeChat, like ‘Like to add you on WeChat so that we can expand our network and know the right people' A Short question that prompts people to interact with you, like ‘Do you know that your mobile number can make you sick?'

This article was originally published at Inspire Beats. I’ve always been a fan of the Art of War. The Art of War has been around for thousands of years and I’ve applied its strategies to anything that I do in life. This includes marketing, entrepreneurship, sales, and just life in general. The Art of War is broken down into 13 intensive chapters. Even though it might just sound like a simple war strategy book, every single chapter could be applied to closing deals and increasing sales. Let’s take a quick look at each chapter and how it can be applied to a sales team at a rapidly growing startup. Detail assessment and planning The first chapter talks about detail assessment and planning. The chapter explores the five fundamental factors (the Way, seasons, terrain, leadership and management) and seven elements that determine the outcomes of military engagements. By thinking, assessing and comparing these points, a commander can calculate his chances of victory. Whether yo...

Training that Leaves An Impact

Training that has high value is one that leaves a deep impact on the trainee long after the training is completed. To have impact the training must hit the trainee right on the head, there must be an instant 'ah ha' exclamation and the feeling must be right. You cannot fake an impact, and you definitely can tell a fake impact from a real one. Some trainers, in their bid to make an impact, do certain things that have the opposite effect. Instead of leaving an impact on the trainees, they leave a bad impression on them. The wrong things that these trainers do include making assumptions, forcing answers for questions and going all out to please them with too many jokes, games and too little content.  In my experience since training over 13,131 people in 16 countries (from 1996), there are 5 steps for the training to have an impact on the trainees: Like.  Trainees must like the trainer, that's why the trainer must greet and smile when they first enco...

Before you get depressed as a Trainer and wondered what went wrong, why not listen further to the feedback? I said, "Since you said 'nothing much', that means there is something that you learnt.  Could you share with me so that we can help others in future?" There are 5 things that he learnt but dare not shared with me in the open, they are as follows: They learnt about themselves, like who they are as a person with fears, hopes and dreams.  In our training we get everyone to do the impossible : cut a piece of wood with just a piece of A4 paper They learnt that other companies are worse than them , that their bosses are not so bad after all. This is achieved when I shared with them my experience in training over 13,131 people since 2001 in 16 countries They learnt that commercial movies video clips are very educational too.  When I playe...

Your Mobile Your Life

As you know, we can read a person with just his mobile number. This is from the school of Digital Energetics 数字能量学. This school states that all digits have energy. Based on a string of digits in a person's mobile phone number, we can read a person like a book in 6 categories of his life: personality, career, wealth, health, relationships and family and benefactors. Digital Energetics is pretty accurate as you can verify it anytime anywhere. Just give me a mobile number of a person that you know very well and I will do a reading of this number within 3 minutes. You can always feedback to me on its accuracy. My email is andythecoach@gmail.com. Based on my experience of reading mobile numbers since June 2019, my accuracy is 70% to 90%。 This is not because I am smart or possess some magic. I just follow a system of science. Why is Digital Energetics So Accurate? Is it based on some fengshui or some Chinese old school of thought? Well, this system originates from the a...
