Love in Business and Sales with Connie Whitman (Episode 232)
Changing The Sales Game
"Never look down on anybody unless you're helping them up." - Jesse Jackson Check Out These Highlights: I chose this quote because I feel that corporate America has decided to step on people to get ROI for shareholders. I know, cynical, right? I have felt this shift in the past year, specifically. I am not sure if many CEOs are looking to cash out with huge bonuses when they retire in the next couple of years or if the executives, AKA part of the human race, have decided to be a bunch of jerks. So what prompted this solo show? I had a meeting the other day with Mark Jones, the CEO...

Secrets to Building and Scaling Sales and Business with Borja Cuan (Episode 231)
Changing The Sales Game
"The only way of finding the limits of the possible is by going beyond them into the impossible." – Arthur C. Clarke Check Out These Highlights: I love this quote because it reminds me of Olympic athletes who hold records, and then once that record is broken, it seems that several others come forward and break it yet again. Once what seemed impossible becomes possible, we take the blinders off and see what is truly possible, not just what we think is likely based on past performance only. About Borja Cuan: Borja joined the performance advertising industry in 1998 and has built a...

The Secret to Pre-Sold Clients with AJ Vassar (Episode 230)
Changing The Sales Game
“Don’t be afraid to give up the good to go for the great.” – John D. Rockefeller Check Out These Highlights: This is one of my favorite quotes. When things are going well, we generally don’t make any changes because everything is good. When things get bad, we stop and assess what changes may be needed to navigate the challenging situation. So good is the real enemy of becoming great. So what habits or systems do you need to evaluate to help you become your greatest self, so you generate more sales with less work while building lifelong profitable relationships? ...

Marketing Plan for Guaranteed Outcomes with Lori Turner-Wilson (Episode 229)
Changing The Sales Game
“A man who stops advertising to save money is like a man who stops the clock to save time.” – Henry Ford Check Out These Highlights: Sales and marketing are married. We need marketing to generate opportunities and leads that drive sales conversations and revenue. This quote resonated with me: often, we cut budgets instead of reviewing how to refine the marketing campaigns we are putting out that actually generate revenue and positive results. I see it all too often where businesses accept that marketing is this mysterious, unpredictable expense, but it doesn’t...

Bringing LOVE to Work and Business with Kevin Hancock (Episode 227)
Changing The Sales Game
“The way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement.” – Charles Schwab In business, and more specifically in sales, I believe that selling and communicating from a place of love, care, and respect is vital for attracting the right people to your team and creating advocates for you and your business. There is so much information and training on leadership, yet we are losing ground regarding appreciation and encouragement for our employees. Through conversations with colleagues, friends, and my own family, I see this lack of appreciation in different...

Why You’re Not Hitting Your Goals with Dawn Ledet (Episode 224)
Changing The Sales Game
“I never lose. I either win or learn.” – Nelson Mandela Check Out These Highlights: I believe that we never truly lose if we learn something from a loss, whether it's not meeting a goal or a negative experience. We need to trust ourselves, which isn’t always easy. One of the problems today is that decision fatigue and strategy overload keep high achievers stuck and cause them to question themselves. You used to be motivated and successful, but now you feel stalled—like no matter how many strategies you try, you can’t seem to get over this hump. ...

“If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough.” – Albert Einstein
Check Out These Highlights:
I speak for a living. Whether in front of an audience or a team of employees at one of my banks. If I can’t take complex ideas, thoughts, or circumstances and make them easy to understand, I will not generate a return on investment for my clients.
