Montai Magic... The Professional's Secret Weapon!

(customised for insurance agents... Michael will customise for your business and your people)
Discipline #1 The Discipline of Perpetually Learning

In this discipline we examine what the professional Life Agent needs to focus on, ON GOING RE-EDUCATION. Today, any agent NOT using Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software or Sales Force Automation (SFA) is going to be run over in productivity by the agents who ARE using these tools. We also discuss 4 kinds of agents and ask them which describes the professional and which group do they fall into. (Thought provoking.) In this discipline, I have a female volunteer (pre-selected) to come on stage with me. I teach her two karate punches and have a bit of fun with her.

Discipline #2 The Discipline of Flexibility

Every agent needs to be flexible today in thinking, approach, openness to change, flexible with changes in Old Mutual (commissions, policies, cutbacks, add-ons, etc.) Here the entire group stands and does a toe touch exercise. We relate, as a metaphor, physical flexibility to mental flexibility.

Discipline #3 The Discipline of Distraction

Many negative types we encounter, in the office and prospects who reject what we propose, can drain the agents enthusiasm to sell. Here is a way, using martial arts principles, to distract these negative types, getting them off of negativity and on to positivity. Again, I use a female volunteer, teaching her a karate yell on stage. The group loves this.

Discipline #4 The Discipline of Being Natural

Sales has to come from the heart. When we become bored, uninspired, sales suffer. Either change your attitude or change your job. Many people say it looks greener in the other pasture. I share with them, that's because they use more manure! The greenest pasture is probably right where we are at. We need to plan ourselves in as better seeds, cultivate and bloom, blossom and grow where we are planted as professionals. My third volunteer, a 125 KG male is unsuccessfully picked up from behind, the wrong way. Now, using the RIGHT way, he's hoisted up on my shoulder and I run around the stage with him. This demonstrates when you do it the natural way, the way from your heart, it's EASY.

Discipline #5 The Discipline of Intent

Raw motivation. Do it like your life depends upon it. A couple of powerful personal stories make this most serious point come through loud and clear.

Discipline #6 The Discipline of Understanding

Understanding what you are in this business for, what a spouse is doing in a relationship, what our purpose in life is gives us perpetual motivation. Working for the wrong reasons can hold back our productivity and cause us to lose the things and people we hold most dear through a lack of focus. Here, my last volunteer, the largest male you can find, chokes me around the throat with two hands. You cannot muscle your way out. Understanding the true purpose is to get him to LET GO, you can find a number of ways of escaping easily. (Eyes, nose, groin, etc.) It's a bit of fun with a man possessing a sense of humour. Again, it's a metaphor to help us internalize the message.

Having completed the 6 disciplines, we now highlight 6 barriers to our success. Each “barrier” is condensed to a word, stenciled on a one inch by 6 inch by 12 inch pine board. These boards are stacked on two supporting bricks, one at a time as I discuss each barrier.

Barrier #1 The Lack of a Consistent Written Plan

Barrier # 2 Improper Time Management

Barrier #3 STRESS!
(In this barrier, every person is given a stress stone to take back with them as a permanent reminder of the session. The message, “Three purposes behind the stone: 1) Stone the speaker if you don't like what you hear. (They laugh) 2) Use it as a “worry stone”, rubbing on it under times of stress and pressure. 3) It is not an ordinary stone. It comes for the island of Japan. It is called Mihama Koishi. Mihama is the town it comes from and Koishi simply means “pebble.” The stone has not been polished by anyone but by washing up on the shores of Japan for centuries, the abuse, bombardment of the waves makes it a highly polished thing of beauty. Keep it with you as a gift from me to remind yourself, the next time you feel abused, bombarded or harassed by the people, places and things in YOUR environment, that's what makes YOU highly polished and someone of even greater beauty and value. Never EVER, lose sight of that value. You are far too important for that.”

Barrier #4 Fitness
Barrier #5 Change
Barrier #6 Fear

Having discussed these barriers, a quick energy gaining review and I take my hand and 24 years of martial arts experience (it will be 25 years in September), and break ALL 6 BOARDS AT ONCE! As the wood flies all over the stage, I leave them with, now go out and break through your own barriers. May the Montai, the disciplines, work a little magic, in your own life!
