“Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman, not the attitude of the prospect.” – William Clement Stone. Whether you work for a company or own your own business, sales are a key component to the business growing and scaling. So how can we grow without working 100 hours per week? Scaling doesn’t mean you have to do everything. Automation helps us, as does time management skills. So, what are some strategies for scaling a business? I'm glad you asked!

“Social media is about the people. Not about your business. Provide for the people, and the people will provide for you.” – Matt Goulart, Over the past four decades, sales haven’t changed much, yet it has changed significantly because of the many social media platforms we have to reach our potential customers easily. LinkedIn is one of the best for my work, but navigating algorithms and fighting through the noise is still challenging. So, how do we gain more traction and reach our ideal client? I'm glad you asked.

“People buy from people they know, like and trust. At the start of building a relationship with your buyer the only thing you can shoot for is ’Trust’. Building trust has to be very obvious from the very first contact you make with your buyer or you kill any chance of starting a dialogue.”- Michael deGroot. Sales have been my life for over four decades; I have lived by a code where sales for me means selling from love, care, and respect. In short, it means selling by building trust and earning the client's loyalty. At the core, it is never about me; it’s always about the client and how I can support and help.
Today, my guest and I will discuss several "big ideas" that will help you develop strong, trust-based relationships with your prospects/customers, enabling you to sell more in the long run by selling less.

The purpose of business is to create customers who create customers. - Shiv Singh. When I search for the perfect quote for each show, I often reflect on my own sales career. I love it when a quote hits home because I have proven that the idea behind it works.
Today, this quote landed for me because I have lived off referrals and generated so much passive income through the years due to referrals from existing clients or people who have gotten to know me within my network. The key to developing a stream of referrals is to first prove yourself and build the know-like-trust factor!

“It’s no longer about interrupting, pitching, and closing. It is about listening, diagnosing, and prescribing.” - Mark Roberge. Lately, I feel like many sales trainers and consultants speak about building deep-rooted, transparent relationships as if this is a new concept in sales.
I remember 40 years ago, when I started my sales career in the financial service industry, there was a lot of pitching and pushing with little interest in the person, family, or organization being sold to. It made me sick to my stomach that this type of bad selling was happening around me.
I still see some of this same behavior, except now buyers can do a ton of research, read reviews, and buy from a place of more confidence due to their research.
So, what's changed in sales today, and how do we close more deals quicker in this transparent world where the customer has researched everything? I'm glad you asked!

“Business decision-makers love online video because it gives them the most amount of information in the shortest amount of time.”– Robert Weiss. I think many of you have heard my story about starting my podcast using audio only. Then, one day, my producer shared that she felt I should use video, too. My response was not pretty…lol! I said to her, “You’re crazy, and that’s never happening.” Well, a few days later, I agreed to start using video.
Why did I agree so quickly? Well, because her reasoning was sound. She shared that the more people saw and heard me and got a vibe of who I am and how I roll, the more apt they would be to follow my podcast. This would quickly build the know-like-trust factor, generating more leads and, ultimately, more sales.
Here's the funny thing: People started to say yes more quickly during sales conversations; they started following me on LinkedIn and other social media, and when I asked how they found me, the answer was always, "I saw you or heard you on my podcast or as a guest on another podcast. "As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. So, is video your next step in generating more sales?

“Don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.” — John D. Rockefeller. The most significant areas where I see salespeople and sales teams drop the ball are at the beginning and end of the sales process.
Step 1 is preparation at the beginning of the sales process. To put this in perspective, when we are doing our external business development efforts, 90% of successful BD is preparation. Yes, 90%. What I see with the teams I work with is that they feel so busy that they forfeit prep time and go out and wing it.
In a recent survey - 82% of decision-makers (prospective clients) feel that the salespeople they deal with must prepare for the sales calls and show up ill-prepared. Interestingly, we cannot afford to show up unprepared and skip the extra work beforehand. When we prepare, the process accelerates, the prospect or client is more likely to say yes, and we feel a surge of confidence. It's like a flow of energy that makes everything seem effortless.
Let me share what I feel should be prepared before any sales conversations or efforts occur.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." – Maya Angelou. Whenever I hear this quote, I am reminded that marketing is step 1 in making a sale but will not make the dales for you. To be relevant and top of mind to prospects and clients alike, we must have stellar communication skills and a clear sales process. Marketing gets the client interested, and the conversation and relationships will help you make the sale more quickly. Both resources are needed and work together; if you have a clear marketing and sales plan combined, you have a better chance of winning the game and serving your clients well.

AI has the uncanny ability to tease out things about the consumer you might never think about.” – Ryan Bezenek. I have been intrigued by ChatGPT since I heard about it years ago.

“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” – John F. Kennedy. Recently, I have been working with several banks across the US. In Step 2 of my sales process, I teach how to authentically and organically build rapport with clients and prospects and at networking events. I created a template and am working on another AI tool (more to come on that in the future) that I share with the people in the class to create a dynamic Value Statement to use in various venues and situations.
At the top of the worksheet, I ask everyone to write some fun facts about themselves and then fun facts about their organization. Most people find this exercise challenging to share fun facts about themselves and ultimately create a VS that is predominately about the organization because we are taught how to play small and how not to brag or appear arrogant.
The reality is that a strong Value Statement should reflect the cool and unique things about you. People do business with people they know, like, and trust, yet we give that power by bragging about our organization.

Connie's motivational quote today is by – Ben Bernanke, "The ultimate purpose of economics, of course, is to understand and promote the enhancement of well-being." When I was in college many years ago, I double majored in Economics and Finance. Yes, you can call me a dork!
Even though I was unsure of what I wanted to be when I grew up and I knew that finance and economics were two important topics that I needed to understand to support my future business career.
Fast forward 40 years and understanding these two huge topics has served me well. I am excited about my conversation today, with my guest expert, Hunter Hastings. We are not going to have a boring conversation about economics. We are going to dive in and discuss a business’s brand, the secret of value creation, and economics in business.

My motivational quote for today is by – R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr. “Let's stop believing that our differences make us superior or inferior to one another. A diverse mix of voices leads to better discussions, decisions, and outcomes for everyone.” - R. Roosevelt Thomas, Jr.
I love this quote and find its relevance extremely timely in today’s divided world. My opinion is right; yours is wrong, which is an awful approach to communication and collaboration. Diverse thinking creates friction, which is a really good thing! This is where conflict resolution happens, allowing for innovations and combined thinking, which helps us end up in a better place than we started. The reality is that we all have our opinions based on our filters and perspectives, which are actually very limited. This means that most of life happens in the grey areas where diversity and collaboration can create practical and valuable change. Yet, many avoid the grey area so that they can be right.

“Taking initiative pays off. It is hard to visualize someone as a leader if she is always waiting to be told what to do.” – Sheryl Sandberg. I have shared the Gallup Global Workplace Surveys about employee engagement at work over the years. Well, a new study just came out, and it’s not good! The study shows that 33 percent of American workers describe their work experience as meaningful or engaging. Let that sink in for a moment—77% are not engaged!
I want to break this down even further. This translates to approximately 107 million working Americans who describe themselves as “unengaged.” Additionally, 17 percent of all US workers describe themselves as “actively disengaged.” That’s 22 million workers. Gallup estimates the global cost of disengagement at work to be 9 percent of the world’s GDP. Since the global GDP is about $100 trillion, the lost opportunity cost is around $9 trillion.
Before I introduce my guest, I would like to share with you one more perspective on these results. What does this say about the human cost? What’s the human impact of decades of unengaging work for 107 million Americans? According to Gallup’s 2024 survey, 41 percent of all US workers report experiencing “a lot of stress at work.” So now we are talking about unengaging and stressful work.
If you are a leader and don’t know where your organization’s employees fall within this study, you may want to take notes and see what can be done to change this landslide.

“The sale most often goes to the most interested party.” – Steve Chandler. Being interested and curious about what our clients need today and in the future is critical to our sales success. So, how do we show that we care, are curious, and are interested in helping our ideal client? One way is to use resources available to us to spotlight our genius, experience, and level of care. One resource that I see either underused or not used correctly is LinkedIn.
It's a powerful resource; too many people use it, and it comes across as icky and pushy.

“The confidence you have going into the sales call will determine the level of profit you have coming out.” – Mark Hunter. Being in sales for many decades, I have had my share of prospecting wows.

During today’s show, my guest and I will unpack the challenge of Sales Call Reluctance and the emotional hesitation to prospect and promote. We’ll dive into the top 5 of the 16 types of Call reluctance and discuss the techniques to prospect confidently and consistently. After today’s show, you will be inspired to get your “ask” in gear.

“The secret to change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” - Socrates. To make your email marketing efforts successful, one of the major components is building your list. Essentially, we are always doing two things: fueling our email marketing “machine” with leads and working to improve the conversion rate of our machine (through improving our messaging and leaning into relationship-based marketing messages). One of the more common ways to fill your list is through having a lead magnet.
I truly enjoy having marketing experts on my show; sales and marketing are very different. Since I’m no expert in Marketing strategies, I always learn a tip or two or three from my guests on this topic. Lead generation is critical for keeping our pipelines full so we can continue to connect and help our ideal clients using an effective sales process. Leads come in, and if our sales process aligns with our marketing message, sales come out.
