Naughty Bits and Michael Port on Donny Deutsch
By Lee Ann | July 2, 2008
A mentor of mine, Michael Port, author of Book Yourself Solid, Beyond Booked Solid and The Contrarian Effect was on Donny Deutsch’s The Big Idea last night. The theme of the program was about selling – with an underlying theme that was a call back to Monty Python’s naughty bits. But, I get ahead of myself.
Michael handled himself well and managed to get some great content in at the beginning of the program when it was himself and two women, Lisa Scott and Kendra Robinson. Michael also looked pretty good on TV, (he’s single, darn, I’m not – but I digress) Donny was his usual rapid fire question self and even though the panel grew even larger when Dave Lakhani joined the group – Donny kept control. Michael held is own, getting noticed to be on camera to add his opinions in and be heard – great job with that Michael. Then…Janine Driver, an expert on body language joined the panel and
she actually managed to use the words naughty bits multiple times relevant to the topic of the program. Janine’s point was that you should keep your naughty bits open to the person you’re talking to, not open as in naked, open as in not covered by arms or other body parts. She talked about Donny’s naughty bits, Michael’s naughty bits and the naughty bits of the rest of the panel.
Michael, I don’t know how you managed to keep a straight face. I was cracking up at home.
So, after the program, I wrote a congratulatory message on Michael’s Facebook wall and wouldn’t you know, true to form – Michael replied, he walks his talk when it comes to building relationships in the sales process. Lesson to anyone who wants to sell anything to anyone…
Build relationships and keep your naughty bits open.
