Volker's Newsletter - October Edition

Volker's Newsletter - October Edition

Hello,

*** Subscribe to my newsletter at?www.balluederpartners.com/newsletter ?***

As you can see, we are making some changes to our newsletter. A few people have said that this is really 'Volker's Newsletter' and this is how it should be. My personal blurb and update, about my company of course, my services, and my view of the world. And that's why a lot of you are reading it. Thank you for your ongoing support and feedback. Please save [email protected] to your safe sender list. We are also a bit later this month to avoid half term.

And before you read the quote at the end of the newsletter: I do love autumn. Another quote by Sarah Addison Allen says “It looked like the world was covered in a cobbler crust of brown sugar and cinnamon.” Going out in the cold autumn air for a run or walk, enjoying the crisp air, warmed by the low setting sun. Coming home to a wood fire, enjoying a glass of red wine and stroking the dog....what's not to like?

Let‘s talk about the podcast first: Man Up / Man Down hosts a live podcast and event on the 28th of November in Brighton. Tickets can be bought on Eventbrite and we would really welcome you spreading the word and of course attending the live event. We have a comedian and top class speakers lined up, getting middle aged men to talk and discuss their needs.

I go into London less regularly, and I enjoy the amount of work I am getting done by not commuting. I do miss the social aspect though and I make sure to get plenty of 'IRL human time' in too. As a matter of fact, I just signed a local client!

I won a couple of new clients over the past few months. My focus is really on smaller clients who are a lot of fun to work with. And hopefully, some of the bigger contracts in the pipeline which I am really keen on will come through too. They would define my direction and what I enjoy doing for hopefully a few months if not years into the future. Fingers crossed!

As always, if you know of anyone needing help with their sales approach, coaching their sales team, or just to sense check some of the commercial work they are doing, please point them my way.

Another thing I would like people to try is the following link: https://tryastral.com/@ballueder - this is a collection of my Stories of Success podcasts and book, searchable for any keyword thanks to ChatGPT. For those of you interested, please provide me with feedback if something like that is useful or not.

And another bit of news: You must all know, due to my wife's Scottish roots, we are in love with Scotland ??. I mean, I have been since my arrival in the UK in 2001. Having said that, we finally got ourselves a lodge and holiday home in Aviemore. If you are interested in spending some time in Scotland, whether in the winter to ski or summer to hike/mountain bike, just let us know. You can look at availability via booking.com ,?AirBnB or feel free to reach out directly to book ([email protected] ).?

That's all for October, the weather has turned in the UK, and it's time to get the log burner on more often.?

Enjoy autumn and speak soon,

Volker
