Hi Houston,
I apologize for taking so long to get back to you... I've had your post on mind and trying to decide how I wanted to respond. So, while you haven't heard from me, you've been on my mind.
I want to say, I like that you want to understand buying facilitation. I think it's the best thing since sliced bread. I've read Sharon Drew's books, Sales on the Line, Buying Facilitation, and her ebook. I have studied them very closely. I knew I had a feel for buying facilitation but I just couldn't wrap my mind around it completely. After all of that, I came to this conclusion: The only way I'm ever going to wrap my own mind around it is to learn it from someone who knows how to do it. Have you ever come across something that you really don't understand until you are taught how to do it? Because of the nature of buying facilitation, I don't think I'll ever truely understand it until I learn to do it. I'm saving my money so I can get the training. My question is: What do you need to get to the place where you are ready for coaching to learn buying facilitation? Is it more examples... money... the fear of investing time to learn something new? Do you really believe that it will make you more successful?
I feel "inadequate" to give examples of buying facilitation. I, too, don't have my mind fully wrapped around it. But I know enough to know that I want the training... I know enough to see how brilliant it is and that I want nothing more, at this point in my life, than to learn buying facilitation so that I can become more of who I am.
As far as other parts of life this could apply to: any leadership position or where one person helps another to make decisions. These are only my thoughts... but I wonder how a parent could use the ideas of decision facilitation / buying facilitation to help their children... or how principles of schools can help teachers... or bosses help employees... presidents of companies to help those below them to make their best decisions... the list is "endless".
