If you want to succeed at business acquisition, you need the right mindset as well as the right knowledge and strategies. By levelling up your mindset and adopting a new way of thinking, you can change how you see yourself and how others see you, to do bigger deals, more frequently.

At the last Dealmakers Retreat, executive coach Vicki Espin revealed how to develop a ‘game-changer’ mindset to stand out and attract opportunities. In this episode of the Business Buying Strategies podcast, you can listen to highlights from the presentation, including an exercise to write a professional brand statement to attract dealmaking opportunities to you.

Here are the key highlights:

• How Vicki became a coach and started working with Jonathan
• What is a game-changer?
• Your most important relationship in life
• Understanding ‘Moments of Truth”
• Your current performance = your potential minus your interference
• Why your thoughts matter
• Why you create everything twice
• Why you need a professional brand statement
• Do you pass the CEO lift test?
• Your top signature strengths

Here is what you will discover…

• What is a game-changer mindset and why you need to adopt a new way of thinking to shift where you are right now

• Why the most important relationship you have in your life is with yourself 

• Why you need to figure out what you want people to say about you when you’re not “in the room”

• Why nothing in your life changes unless you do this ONE thing

• Why you need to pay attention to your emotional intelligence to close more deals

• The No.1 thing that nearly every conversation about personal brand completely ignores (that you can use to your advantage)

• The secret to crafting a compelling personal brand statement (it’s not just through practice)

• Why your non-verbal behaviour counts for far more than you may realise 

• How to use a scoring system to continually improve your brand statement (or any pitch or presentation document)
