Information Access Drives Modern Sales feat. Tom Trush
Beyond 7 Figures: Build, Scale, Profit
Learn how to fix your sales team's low closing rate with the seven-hour content system modern buyers demand Your struggling sales team isn't the problem - they're being handed leads that aren't even close to ready to buy, then blamed when those leads don't convert. The brutal truth is that modern buyers now consume an average of seven hours of content and take 211 days to make a B2B purchasing decision, yet most companies are still pushing their sales teams to close deals within 48 hours of first contact. This fundamental mismatch is killing conversion rates and trapping founders back into...

info_outlineLearn how giving value first creates predictable revenue growth
Add Value First Money Follows - that's the simple rule most business owners have backwards. They think about what they can get instead of what they can give, and that's why they stay stuck. In this episode, I brought on Ramon Ray because his energy is amazing, but more importantly, he figured out something most people miss: you make money based on how much you help others. We talk about the real meaning behind Darwin's "survival of the fittest" - spoiler alert, it's not what you think - and why hanging around more successful people creates steady growth. Ramon and I break down how to create your own chances instead of waiting to be invited, and why building systems that grow beats working harder every single time.
Ramon Ray is exactly the kind of business owner I love talking with - he doesn't wait for permission, he makes his own luck. This guy has built and sold many companies, recently got a job as Bitdefender's small business rep, and here's how he did it: he walked right up to them after speaking at their event and basically made his own job. That's the kind of thinking that separates million-dollar business owners from everyone else. Ramon wrote "Celebrity CEO" and has been on major TV shows, but what I respect most is how he treats relationships - it's never just about business, always about helping first. And now that he's a grandfather to little Ezra, you can bet he's thinking about what he's building and the lessons he'll teach about creating steady success.
KEY TAKEAWAYS:
- How to build revenue-generating relationships by starting every interaction asking what's happening in their personal life and how you can add value instead of leading with your pitch.
- What to do when opportunities don't come to you by creating your own table and walking up to decision-makers to pitch roles that don't exist yet like Ramon did with Bitdefender.
- How to accelerate your business growth by surrounding yourself with people operating at higher temperatures who naturally pull you up instead of those who drag you down to their comfort level.
- What separates seven-figure businesses from the rest by building scalable systems and hiring people to expand the business with you so you're not trapped in daily operations.
- When to take action on opportunities by getting comfortable being uncomfortable and moving immediately without perfect strategy because breakthrough moments require instant response.
- What to focus on instead of just services by delivering measurable outcomes and business impact since AI is commoditizing results but can't automate true transformation.
- How authentic networking creates predictable revenue by approaching relationships with genuine intent to help first so opportunities emerge naturally without forced transactions.
- When business gets tough and you want to quit by showing up and executing anyway because someone loses if you don't win and consistency during lows separates successful entrepreneurs.
