In 1995 Mike Shelah got his first sales job. In this weekly podcast Mike will share funny, educational and sometimes scary stories from his experience as a sales professional. No marketing, no sales pitch here. Just a guy telling his story.
Prospects can be very nice, they can be real grade A jerks and they can be everything in between. Today, I have experienced the spectrum.
A few words about my personal life, my son Mikey and how autism has impacted our family plus some of the work I do to contribute.
Here is a lil dose of positivity to wrap up your work week or simply pick you up if you are feeling down.
Your words and your body language matter. Besides, you never know when someone will answer the phone.
Because the alternative is dead people or living ones that don't update their social media.
When it comes to sales, these two words are often used interchangeably, but they are VERY different.
Just how “valuable” is what you sell? How much of that is up to you?
It's the name of the game, right?
Former boss. Current friend and mentor
A great conversation with my good friend Dom about his book, his podcast and our mutual love of Toastmasters and how valuable it can be for a sales professional.
Let's wrap this up! Aaaaand what's in store for 2024 (nice lil rhyme there for ya).
A good friend, a brilliant trainer, a sales expert, a leadership specialist and so much more. Enjoy.
After a solo episode earlier this week I caught up with my friend Doug, the VP of Sales & Marketing. This one is good nerdy fun for sales people everywhere.

True story, someone actually called me arrogant. How shall I continue?
Body language, what to say when someone lies and micro expressions. Added bonus, lots of books to read.
Call it whatever you like, “Paying your dues” you have to have a benchmark or goal you work todays on a daily weekly and monthly basis. Plus, some fun nuggets about LinkedIn.
Warning it gets a bit personal and heavy in this episode.
Yes! I said it, in my 25+ years in sales never have I experienced such a valuable training on how to be a better sales professional. And! Broccoli.
Cold calls, emails, street canvassing, mailers, all of these were not asked for. How dare you call on a place of business and try to help them?!
