Podcast appearances and mentions of Andy Paul

Is AI revolutionizing sales, or is it simply accentuating poor practices from the past? Join us for a conversation with sales expert Andy Paul as we tackle this question head-on. Discover why focusing solely on building your sales pipeline might be missing the bigger picture, and learn how genuine selling skills can make the difference.  Andy and Mark unravel the dilemma of low win rates and explore the true competitor every salesperson faces: the customer's inclination to make no decision at all. Together, we question if AI truly benefits the salesperson or leaves the customer behind, and we highlight guiding buyers towards informed decisions and transformational change.

Welcome back, everyone! I sat down with my new friend Daniel Wedman, the head of special situations at Sopris Capital. We delved into a variety of topics, focusing on the dynamic world of Bitcoin and crypto investments, and the evolving landscape of capital markets.Daniel's Career JourneyDaniel shared his fascinating career trajectory, starting from his early days at Citigroup on a special situations team, to his roles at SL Green and Wheelock Street Capital. His journey into the crypto world began as a side hobby of mining Bitcoin, which eventually led him to join Galaxy Digital's Bitcoin mining team.Sopris Capital and Investment StrategiesAt Sopris Capital, Daniel initially joined to build out the real estate arm but soon found himself pitching innovative investment ideas to Andy Paul, the open-minded founder. One notable strategy involved an ASIC arbitrage, where they imported ASICs from Asia, mined Bitcoin while waiting for them to sell, and then sold them at a premium.Bitcoin ATMsWe discussed the lucrative business of Bitcoin ATMs, which Daniel stumbled upon through a meetup in New York. Sopris Capital started with 50 machines in Canada and expanded to 200 in the U.S., with plans for further growth. Daniel highlighted the strong cash-on-cash returns and the significant market potential, especially among the underbanked.Stranded Energy and Bitcoin MiningDaniel explained the concept of stranded energy and how Bitcoin mining can utilize cheap, otherwise wasted energy sources. He shared an example of a curtailed wind energy project in West Texas, where they built a data center to mine Bitcoin using cheap wind energy.Economic Shifts and Investment OpportunitiesWe touched on the broader economic shifts and how they create opportunities for agile and flexible investors. Daniel emphasized the importance of reading the tea leaves and understanding the second and third-order consequences of policies aimed at helping working-class Americans.Compliance and Industry MaturationThe conversation also covered the increasing compliance requirements in the Bitcoin ATM industry and how this is leading to consolidation, with smaller players being acquired or going dark. Daniel sees this as a positive development, signaling the maturation of the industry.Future of Energy and ComputeDaniel shared insights from his time at Galaxy Digital, emphasizing the critical role of energy in the future of digital networks and compute. He expressed optimism about breakthroughs in energy technology, which could unlock a new era of innovation.Closing ThoughtsIt was a pleasure having Daniel Wedman on the show. His deep knowledge and innovative approach to crypto investments provided valuable insights for our listeners. As always, major changes in the world present opportunities for those who are prepared to adapt and innovate.Thank you for tuning in to The Charlie Shrem Show.

 In this episode, Brandon Lee, and Carson Heady are joined by Andy Paul, a renowned sales strategist and the author of Sell Without Selling Out. With decades of experience across tech and startup sales, Andy shares actionable insights on why the sales industry needs to move away from outdated approaches and focus on buyer-centric practices. The False Promise of Sales Tools:Andy discusses the misplaced focus on sales tools that prioritize quantity over meaningful engagement.He highlights how this approach has led to declining win rates across industries, where many companies accept mediocrity instead of striving for consistent success.Shifting the Sales Narrative:Successful selling isn't about pitching, pushing, or persuading—it's about helping buyers make decisions that address their needs and challenges.Andy urges sellers to move beyond “discovery calls” and instead help buyers define their goals, identify opportunities, and envision results.The Four Pillars of Buyer Progress:Sellers should focus on ensuring every interaction helps the buyer move forward. Andy outlines four questions to keep sellers on track:What does the buyer need from us now?How will we provide this help?How does this assistance address their concerns?What steps will they take next as a result?Fostering a Culture of Success:Andy criticizes the normalization of low win rates in many sales cultures, calling it a “culture of losing.”He stresses the importance of instilling confidence in sellers to aim higher, make smarter choices, and focus on winning more often than losing.Building Authentic Connections Online:Andy emphasizes the importance of sellers and leaders building trust through genuine, personalized content.Buyers want to engage with professionals who demonstrate expertise and provide insights before a sales meeting even begins.Andy Paul's thought-provoking perspective on modern sales challenges the status quo, encouraging sellers to focus on their customers' success rather than simply pushing products. By fostering genuine relationships and focusing on progress-driven interactions, sales teams can elevate their effectiveness and create meaningful outcomes for buyers.  Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!

In this engaging 'debate', Dan Sixsmith hosts Andy Paul and Frank Perkins to explore the complexities of sales methodologies, the importance of individuality in sales, and the evolving landscape of buyer-seller interactions. They discuss the balance between following a sales process and allowing for personal expression, the significance of understanding buyer needs, and the role of curiosity and business acumen in achieving sales success. The conversation emphasizes the need for sales professionals to adapt and think critically, moving beyond rigid processes to foster genuine connections with buyers. Takeaways Sales is fundamentally an individual pursuit, and processes should not suppress individuality. Curiosity is essential for sales success; it drives meaningful conversations. Understanding buyer needs is crucial; sellers must help buyers make decisions. Sales processes are helpful for beginners but should not limit growth. Pain and opportunity are both important in sales discussions; balance is key. Business acumen is vital for sales professionals to navigate buyer decisions. Sales enablement should focus on developing human skills, not just sales techniques. The human element in sales is critical; relationships matter more than processes. Sales success often comes from those who can think critically and adapt to situations. Sales professionals should embrace experimentation to improve their skills.

Andy also highlights the importance of asking the right questions and being creative in sales. He shares his own journey in sales and the lessons he learned along the way. Takeaways Selling is a human-to-human business, and the fundamentals of sales have not changed despite advancements in technology. Sellers should focus on understanding buyers' priorities and helping them make informed decisions rather than solely trying to persuade them to buy. The low win rates in sales are a result of sellers not paying enough attention to the buyer's experience and not differentiating themselves effectively. Responsiveness and creating a positive buyer experience are key factors in winning deals and building rapport with buyers. First impressions and perceptions are crucial in sales, and sellers need to make a strong initial connection with buyers to stand out in a crowded market. Understanding the true productivity of a seller is crucial for sales managers to identify areas for improvement and enable their team to be more effective. Sellers should focus on providing value and helping buyers make progress in their decision-making process.

Join Ryan in part 2 of his conversation with podcaster Andy Paul as they explore the pros and cons of AI in sales. They discuss new use cases for AI and share transformative examples for revenue growth. Andy provides interesting ideas around the challenges of AI adoption, the importance of helping buyers make decisions, and the need for thoughtful application of technology in sales processes. Join 2,500+ readers getting weekly practical guidance to scale themselves and their companies using Artificial Intelligence and Revenue Cheat Codes.   Explore becoming Superhuman here: https://superhumanrevenue.beehiiv.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS AI is currently being used primarily to automate repetitive tasks, but there's untapped potential in helping buyers make decisions. Despite technological advancements, B2B selling productivity may have decreased over the past 20-25 years due to misuse of technology. The focus on using AI for building pipeline may be misguided; the real issue is often not knowing how to win deals and help buyers make decisions. AI can be used to rapidly condense annual reports and customize information for more relevant first appointments with potential clients. Many salespeople fail to understand company pressures and industry-specific problems beyond their own offerings, which AI can help address. Thoughtfulness and curiosity are superpowers in sales, but current sales processes may be training these qualities out of sellers. The goal of sales interactions should shift from "discovering" information to helping buyers define what they want to achieve. High win rates are crucial for efficiency; a team with a 50% win rate needs to do significantly less selling than one with a 20% win rate. BEST MOMENTS "We need to have thoughtful people who are looking at the problem from the right perspective "Pipeline is the siren song that's going to cure all for companies. That's what most folks are attracted to." "If we're gonna make the decision to actually sell to this person, actually bring this opportunity into our pipeline, we should win it. It's that simple." "Thoughtfulness is definitely a superpower. I agree with you on that, man. And I think like one, one other one that I'm seeing that's... is curiosity as well, right?" "We're training curiosity out of our sellers and saying that this is the way they should act when really we want the opposite."

Join 2,500+ readers getting weekly practical guidance to scale themselves and their companies using Artificial Intelligence and Revenue Cheat Codes.   Explore becoming Superhuman here: https://superhumanrevenue.beehiiv.com/ KEY TAKEAWAYS Consistency is crucial in podcasting. Train your audience to expect your content at regular intervals to build a loyal following. Focus on creating high-quality, engaging content that keeps listeners coming back for more. The size of your audience isn't as important as having the right audience. Target your content to your ideal listeners. Prepare thoroughly for interviews and don't hesitate to challenge guests' ideas to create more engaging conversations. Podcasting can be an excellent tool for prospecting and reaching your target audience. Being thoughtful and developing a perspective on your circumstances can set you apart in sales and business. Success in sales often comes down to being human-first, building relationships, and genuinely helping customers make decisions. The key traits for success in sales are connection, curiosity, understanding, and generosity. BEST MOMENTS "I was inspired to start this podcast... I heard John Lee Dumas speak... And I was thinking, well, yeah, that sounds like a fun way to create content that people will find valuable." "Consistency, I think, is really the thing that I keep coming back to... you're trying to sort of train the audience that you are going to be there at a certain time or a certain point in time every week." "For me, over all the years that I've been doing this, my focus has always been, is I'm going to be as prepared as I can be overprepared for every conversation." "We're one person throughout our entire lives, you know, as we are in our life, we are in sales and, you know, if we show up interested in other people, if we show up and are curious about things that are important to them, we make a real effort to understand them, if we're willing to give of ourselves to help them achieve what's important to them, we'll succeed." "The only reason somebody talks to you as a salesperson these days is because they need your help."
