From a worldly perspective, businesses are formed to provide for the economic security of the folks who own and work in that business. Since food and shelter are basic needs, a business, to be viable, must meet those needs. And it does that by providing goods and services for money. Money then becomes one of the keys to any business. But that is just the beginning of the benefits that derive from a business run on the Biblical model. ************************************************************************** Dave Kahle's goal is to provide sales leaders and small businesspeople with practical actionable ideas that can make an immediate impact on your sales performance.

Here's a very commonly held, and incredibly bad Idea: Real ministry is only done under the auspices of established religion. This message—that real ministry is only done under the auspices of established religion -- is implicit on so many levels that it is almost impossible to be a churchgoer and not absorb this idea. Church buildings are often referred to as “God's house;” pastors are often imbued with some special authority, and giving to the local church is held up as a prerequisite for the Christian life. All these together combine to send the message that “real ministry” is only done under the auspices of the established institution. The problem with it is twofold: first, it is not biblical, and second, the impact of believing it is devastating. **************************************************************** Dave Kahle's goal is to provide sales leaders and small businesspeople with practical actionable ideas that can make an immediate impact on your sales performance.

The world is filled with marketplace Christians who are content with a shallow Christian presence in their business, afraid of the consequences of a more visible, deeper approach. But what if the benefits far outweighed any discomfort that might come from stepping out and more visibly embracing Christianity in the marketplace? What if that which we would gain so far outweighs our small sense of temporary discomfort that we would look back on it down the road a bit and reflect, “I should have done that years ago.” In this podcast, I unpack the second of those responses by digging into the sense of divine purpose that comes with a more visible commitment to our relationship with Christ in the marketplace. ********************************************************************* Dave Kahle's goal is to provide sales leaders and small businesspeople with practical actionable ideas that can make an immediate impact on your sales performance.

For many Christian professionals and businesspeople, the prospect of practicing our faith in the marketplace is overwhelming. It's easy to remain paralyzed in the face of so many things calling for our time and attention. In the face of overwhelming number of choices, most marketplace Christians default to what's comfortable and familiar – which is to focus on worldly success in business and give up on having an impact for the Kingdom. In order to break through this inertia, here are two little things you can do. These are small acts that get you started and moving on the right path.

There is a certain power and attractiveness that accrues to those folks who take a stand and publicly express it. That's called leadership, and the world is full of people looking for a leader. There is something compelling about a person who is committed to a cause that is bigger than just himself, who has the courage to declare that commitment not only for himself but on behalf of those in his sphere of influence, and to do so publicly for anyone who wants to hear it. The impact can be incalculable -- spreading across geographies and dripping down into several generations. Our foundational documents – the Vision, Mission and Values statements we create for our businesses provide an ideal venue for expressing such a commitment. ************************************************************************ Dave Kahle's goal is to provide sales leaders and small businesspeople with practical actionable ideas that can make an immediate impact on your sales performance.

Work—and by extension, business—is so important to God that he has created “works” for each of us to do, and he prepared them way in advance of our being ready to do them. Just as he gave Adam the task of naming the animals and then worked with him on that task, so he gives each of us tasks to do and works with us to do them. It is how he designed his creation to operate. While we are familiar with the grand movements of God and the great stories that describe them, we have missed one of the underlying truths: that the primary way God works with man is through our labor and the businesses that emerge from it. ************************************************************************* Dave Kahle's goal is to provide sales leaders and small businesspeople with practical actionable ideas that can make an immediate impact on your sales performance.

Over my career as a sales expert, I've personally and contractually worked with over 500 sales organizations. I've learned some things. Here's one: Very few chief sales officers have a good handle on the economics of the sales force. And very few entrepreneurs think about the economics of a sales system. Almost everyone can tell you what the amounts of the various categories on a P&L statement indicate. So, sales salaries, expenses, advertising costs, etc. are readily at hand. However, very few decision makers dig deeper. And that means that significant information is never uncovered, and decisions are made on the basis of superficial, and often flawed, information. Let's dig deeper. Dave Kahle is a B2B sales expert, and a Christian Business thought leader.
