WELCOME TO XFACTOREDGE

X  Factor (n): unknown element that gives those who possess it an undeniable edge.

Do you need a competitive edge?

Do you need more sales?

Does your team have the X Factor?

You will experience the X Factor in your own life when you align with principles much more powerful than yourself.

EKS Workshop

We have two choices when we encounter a principle: 1) align with it; or, 2) ignore it to our peril.

Take the principle of gravity: we can align with it– build a hydroelectric dam, start a skydiving company, build a ski resort, etc.–or we can ignore it to our peril and fall off a cliff. Gravity doesn’t change. Our respect and alignment (or not) with the principle is the only thing that changes.

Principles govern relationships and the ability to influence others, too. They, like gravity, are ancient and timeless. And we have the same choice: align or ignore.

When you align with timeless principles of influence that are just as real and as powerful as gravity, instead of being careless with them – watch out – as you will experience massive forces pushing you to where you want to go.

You don’t have to be pushy, dishonest, and manipulative to influence others. In fact, the less pushy, more honest, and more aligned with the Golden Rule you are, the more influence you will have.

The Key to the Gate: Principles and Techniques to Get Past GateKeepers to the Decision Maker

Recently featured on Forbes, his new book, The Key to the Gate: Principles and Techniques to Get Past Gatekeepers to the Decision Maker, has sold internationally.

Success in these “sales” approaches comes through impressing key decision makers. Unlike many sales books that focus on what to do once you have an appointment to sell, The Key to the Gate addresses how to get the initial appointment and offers proven methods for getting through to the decision makers. Influence isn’t always where you expect, and The Key to the Gate presents specific principles and techniques that can work wonders in getting you the appointment.

EksAyn discussed real actions and techniques that were not just fluffy ideas, they were down to earth, real things that I could see myself using in my daily negotiations. It was refreshing to have an instructor with so much to teach me, but feel like he was just a friend sharing some tips. I would recommend this … to anyone wanting to be a better salesman and negotiator.
