A relatable sales podcast for your weekly dose of sanity. Sales advice, self-help, and business talk fun times.
Have you ever felt like everyone around you is succeeding and you are falling behind? Then you probably are in major need of hearing about the Sling-Shot Method. We discovered this two weeks ago and knew that we needed to share this mentality with you!
This week we welcome back an old guest who is about to open her first salon in Louisville! Kayleigh Irene has "literally" built a salon during the hardest economical year in recent memory and is here to tell us her do's, don't's, and why is was so important for her to hire local.
Life has a funny way of kicking you when you're down. Today we take an honest and in depth look at how to get back up when life knocks you down. And don't worry, there's no toxic positivity here.
After a brief holiday hiatus, we are back to discuss the pros and cons of living a goal-based life vs a value-based life. This idea was brought to us from a viral video that discussed why focusing on concrete goals like, "I want to lose 40 pounds" or "I want to make $1 million" can turn into depression and anxiety swiftly, if this is all a person chooses to focus on. While value-based life tends to focus on the *way* you want to live. Such as, "I want to be compassionate" and "I want to be kind to every stranger I meet." So sit back, relax, and listen to us talk about goals and values.
2020 is hard. For some, the holidays are going to be even harder. But fear not, we've made a list that we've gathered from specialists to give you some insight on how to make these next two months a bit easier. Enjoy!
While we sit and reflect on this year as we transition into the holiday season, a lot of us have gone through some rough times. What we have found to be most beneficial at easing our sorrows is to change the conversation from what we can do for ourselves, into what we can do for others.
We have all been taught tactics in sales that have worked for us for quite some time. But, some of these tactics have become too recognizable by well-informed and privy decision makers. One of these tactics is the all powerful "assuming the sale". Well, frankly, we hate this tactic and today we are explaining why.
This week, we brought in one of Chelsea's new hires and team members to talk about her transition into sales, why she chose sales, and what she has learned in her first few weeks on the job at Unifirst!
Having a healthy disagreement that turns into conflict resolution is a crucial skill set. Today we delve into the do's, don'ts and examples of how to argue effectively and productively. Aka how to argue like a boss.
We've all been there. You're in your final meeting with a Decision Maker. You've worked your butt off putting together the best deal of your life and then BAM! You are hit with the worst phrase known to a salesperson, "Well, [redacted] says they can do it for less". It's infuriating. You know you're the best service they can get, but still you are having pushback. In today's episode we are going to go over how to stand your ground and seal the deal without sacrificing your money!
Have you ever been scared to do something that might have a huge pay off? Well, it's time to catch a case of the F-It's and shoot your shot in this week's episode! It is spooky season after all...
Recently, we have been seeing different articles about how some of the most successful people in the world swear by mantras. So of course, this week we wanted delve into the world of mantras and talk to one of Louisville's finest, Maggie Amos. Maggie is a full time social worker and seasoned tarot card reader. We spoke with her about how she uses mantras in her social work cases to change thoughts into becoming healthier habits. You can find Maggie on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/tarotbymaggieamos
This week, we are not only celebrating Chelsea's birthday, but are also setting you up for an in-depth look at next week's episode covering the power of Mantras. Get hyped and prepare yourselves, because next week is going to be a doozie!
Do you feel like sometimes a client or boss is taking advantage of your kindess or willing to help? Have you ever felt really guilty over asking someone to do something for you? We've both felt this way at some point or another, but have only recently started to recognize it. Today we go over some tactics and reminders on how to ask for a favor in a respectful way and how to set boundaries when people ask you for one.
During the ups and downs and stresses that life throws at you, some people have a really fun yet really terrible coping mechanism: throwing themselves into a million projects. You have the best of intentions. You want to use your abilities to help others or to help yourself or to gain experience in a project you've never tried before. The idea seems great in the moment and then the day arrives and there is no way you are going to complete every task you've set for yourself. You're in a pickle. You're going to either go insane or compromise and give 10% to 10 projects instead of 100% to one. In this episode we talk about why we subconsciously do this and how we can train ourselves to stop.
Yes, we talk about emotions a lot on the show, but have we mentioned therapy? Want a way to improve your life personally and professionally? Guess what, it's called therapy!
LISTEN UP FIVES A TEN IS SPEAKING. But seriously, listening is an important skill that we don't talk about enough. It seems simple: listen, learn, respond. Easy! But somehow, our self-absorbs brains get in the way and we figure out how to talk waaaay too much during a conversation. Sometimes we don't even me to overtake a conversation, but our excitement and nerves and willingness to solve a problem can hinder our ability to really hear what the other person is saying. Today we dissected how to get out of our own heads and actively listen to your potential client, boss, or new hire.

Have you ever found yourself being frustrated with someone because they aren't matching your speed? Maybe they aren't communicating with you the way you communicate with them? Maybe the way they do something as simple as load the dishwasher is driving you insane?

Since everything in our world is a little out of the norm, we thought we'd make an episode that was also a little out of the norm. This week we discuss one of our favorite topics; true crime! We realized that most of the things we learn from listening to these cases can be applied to many social, emotional, and professional situations. I promise we make some valid points.
This week we decided to revisit a subject that we all need a refresh on: STAYING MOTIVATED. How do you do it? How do you start? How do you keep a good mindset when you aren't? On this episode we run through a list of things that have helped us and kept us going during the roughest times.
We recently came across an article that discussed the "Death of the Girlboss" and why the phrase is becoming more and more less common. On this episode we discuss our thoughts on why the word has taken on such a negative connotation. Read the article that inspired this episode here --> https://gen.medium.com/the-end-of-the-girlboss-is-nigh-4591dec34ed8
With everything going on in the world, we felt that this was the right time to bring up something that we are all guilty of: emotional suppression. Emotional suppression happens when you start to ignore your feelings and instead of dealing with them. In this episode, we discuss the warning signs, the typical traits, and different ways you can start to feel and feel better!

We are a podcast dedicated to empowering others in all aspects of business by having conversations and learning from other people's successes. In our first episode, we breakdown what is to come this year and go a little in depth into making (of course) sales easier.
The holidays are typically the slow season for a lot of companies, but that doesn't give us an excuse to slow down. Today, Leigh and Chelsea discuss different ideas on how to get the most out of the slow season and make sure that it doesn't comprise your progress or wallet!
In a world where we are constantly bombarded with the "hustle hard" lifestyle, sometimes it's really important to take the time to relax, reassess, and reset.
Comparing yourself to other people can be an unhealthy, negative habit. It can lead to depression, the feeling of imposter syndrome, or insane feelings of anxiety. But, what if we started looking at comparison as a way to better ourselves and to set goals? In this episode, we discuss how to take a negative feeling of jealousy and turn it into motivation and a celebration of other's achievements.
We all need a little help from time to time. Whether it's asking a sales leader to help you close an account or asking for help during the start of something new. In this episode we go through different examples of how we've humbled ourselves and asked for help when it's needed.
Sometimes bad things happen. Bad things that aren't like, stubbing your toe or forgetting your car keys or not getting the right Amazon order. Bad things like, being betrayed by a close friend, losing a job you're passionate about, or being broken up with in a horrendous way. After ample time of letting yourself being sad, upset, and every other emotion under the sun, it's time to be real and let that sh*t go. In our most honest and real episode yet, we delve into how we have personally found forgiveness and have moved on from terrible situations in our lives. Enjoy!
Setting an intention and setting a goal can be similar in certain ways, but ultimately these two actions are as different as the day is long! This is something that we have struggled with in the past, so we figured one of you have struggled with it too. In this episode, we go through what it means to set a goal vs setting an intention, plus concrete examples of both. Enjoy!

Issues of self-confidence, stress, and negative thinking can have an affect on even the most successful person. We hope these tips will serve as little reminders that none of us are perfect and all of us are capable!
