Who is Wendy Harris?

 

She’s a Growth Communication Coach & Trainer who has been picking up the phone for 35+ years.

She loves showing clients how much fun it is talking to strangers because that’s where your new business is!

 

You will hear her listeners call her WendyWoo. She has also been dubbed ‘The Queen of Conversation’ by Followers.

Wendy is your host on the award nominated podcast where she speaks with business leaders on the topic of Making Conversations Count and that one conversation that changed everything for them.

She is also the Best-Selling Author of the “Making Conversations Count – How to sell over the phone” book and has built her business reputation through her telemarketing training company WAG Associates.

Wendy LOVES conversations. So much so, it’s her career. Wendy has worked in the sales and communication industry for over 35 years, and has been spending her time training others to make their conversations count since 2005.

Wendy has rebranded from WAG and dedicates her relationship building through Making Conversations Count. She thrives from speaking to people from all walks of life.

It has become clear since the conception of the show that Wendy’s natural ability to get people talking has lead to a wider audience of listeners than the entrepreneurs it was created for.

Business owners alike are eager to hear the insights shared by every guest.

With hand picked experts sharing their own ‘How to’ win in business, it doesn’t always have to be their given topic of expertise either and can be mindset, money or health or all of the above.

Every guest brings a fresh perspective and leaves listeners inspired to take action.

Why is Wendy’s podcast so important to her?

She’s On A Mission to Arm Aspiring Entrepreneurs with How to’s

The podcast show is the perfect opportunity to capitalise on the wide network of professional business relationships Wendy has built over her career, and record stories with the aim to help aspiring entrepreneurs.

It’s not always simple finding the answers to questions you’re not sure to ask, is it?

Each guest brings a unique take on their specialist topic, opening up the conversation naturally to share both successes and failures. The podcast is run alongside her successful training business and enables Wendy to show that sales of any nature (or results) can be fun when it’s with the right people, for the right reason at the right time.

Highlighting the importance of conversation and communication in the show, Wendy has clear and infectious excitement towards teasing out these stories.

Being an entrepreneur is a leap of faith, daunting and not for the faint-hearted. But by hearing other people’s stories, Wendy hopes to reduce that fear. By sharing the moments we fear as a failure before a breakthrough we can truly help others. This show makes success stories more accessible.

Knowing that business leaders who are now at the top of their game lead real, human lives, with regret, knock-backs, and joy along the way is an encouragement to do it yourself.

Every episode leaves listeners with at minimum of one ‘How to’ encouraging people to make a start but don’t be surprised if you take lots of notes as guests turn on their masterclass mode.

 

Wendy’s Reasoning: Why host a Podcast?

 

Wendy is a professional conversationalist, a podcast seemed a natural step.

The show is based on asking each guest to bring with them a memory of one conversation that created a pivotal moment for them. Whether that’s their personal life or career, it’s something that has influenced a change to help them get to where they are today.

This is an opportunity to record and share influential conversations for others to listen to and take in. It’s also a really fun way to get to know Wendy if you’re considering using a trainer for your team. Wendy wanted to create a podcast that gave her the opportunity to talk to business-leaders from all industries and learn about their lives first-hand, whilst making it ‘work’!

Love what you do & you’ll never work a day!

Wendy’s inquisitive nature makes for a great interviewer, asking the right questions to delve deep. The magic in these conversations is that every guest shares their pivotal conversation LIVE.

Guests are specifically asked not to reveal this element before they record – it leads to fascinating conversations on the most surprising topics. No subject is taboo and we are extremely proud to be trusted with these conversations.
