Introduction What if the true cost of customer acquisition isn't just your ad spend or sales funnel, but how you, the founder or leader, show up and speak? In this episode of Predictable B2B Success, we sit down with Dia Bondi, a renowned leadership communications expert, author of "Ask Like an Auctioneer," and coach to top CEOs and founders for over two decades. Known for helping ambitious professionals amplify their impact, Dia Bondi reveals why most leaders unknowingly undermine business growth by neglecting their distinct voices and how cultivating that voice can shift the economics of customer acquisition, partnership, and deal-making. We explore why most B2B founders default to safe, vanilla communication, how that quiets their leadership in high-stakes moments, and what actionable frameworks they can use to stand out, reduce paid acquisition costs, and win trust faster. Dia Bondi reveals the secrets behind her Platform Map framework, how to ask strategically without leaving value on the table, and why tolerating your own power might be the least-talked-about growth lever for founders. If you've ever wondered why your story isn't landing, or your personal brand feels invisible, this conversation will challenge, equip, and inspire you to make your voice your business's most valuable asset. Some topics we explore in this episode include: Leadership Voice as a Strategic Tool: The importance of founders cultivating a distinct leadership voice to accelerate customer acquisition and growth.The Platform Map Framework: Dia Bondi's four-part framework (purpose platform, provenance, point of view & playbook, principles) for clarifying and operationalizing authentic leadership voices.Auctioneering to Communications Coaching: How Dia Bondi layered auctioneering insights into her leadership coaching.Voice vs. Paid Customer Acquisition: The impact of leadership voice on reducing dependency and costs associated with paid channels.Founders' Communication Blind Spots: Why many leaders default to generic, safe messaging instead of leveraging bold perspectives.Attributes of Powerful Communicators: Six traits Dia Bondi identifies, including being bold, strategic, and prepared.Boldness in Content and Perspective: Encouraging leaders to embrace risk and share strong viewpoints rather than just safe, agreeable content.Self-Diagnosis and Feedback: Practical ways for leaders to assess and refine the impact of their voice through experimentation and observation.Getting Useful Feedback: Methods like the spiral feedback framework can help gather actionable input on how others experience your leadership voice.AI, Authenticity, and Content Differentiation: How to use AI tools without losing uniqueness by training them on your Platform Map-derived voice.And much, much more…

A Clare auctioneer says housing stock falling to "critical levels" has led to a historic drop-off in the number of property transactions. The latest data from the Central Statistics Office shows the volume of sales in Clare fell by 20% to 37 in the month of the February which was the lowest figure for any single month in the county since May 2012. The average price of a home meanwhile surged by 20% to €326,000 when compared to the same month last year. Diarmuid McMahon of Sherry Fitzgerald McMahon in Ennis has been telling Clare FM's Seán Lyons it's difficult to see the situation resolving itself for at last a few years.

Growing a property management business often starts out exciting. More properties, a bigger team, strong results. But as the business grows, so does the responsibility. There are more decisions to make, more people relying on you, and less room to step away. And that becomes even harder when you're also trying to be present for your family.In this episode, we explore what happens when a business keeps growing but the structure doesn't keep up. We also talk about how small changes in leadership, systems, and mindset can completely transform how your business feels to run, both at work and at home.I'm joined by Rebecca Halton, CEO, Licensee and Auctioneer at the helm of one of WA's top-performing LJ Hooker offices and the number one Property Management Business in the LJ Hooker network across Australia. Bec shares her incredible journey growing the business in Perth from around 400 to 4,000 properties under management.She gives us a behind-the-scenes look at what growth really felt like. From the pressure of doing too much herself, to the impact it had on family life, and the game-changing decisions that helped her build a business that runs smoothly without needing her in every part of it.“You don't just wake up with freedom. You have to design it, and you have to know exactly what you're building towards” - Rebecca HaltonWe cover:How Bec grew an LJ Hooker property management business from around 400 to 4,000 properties under management and why the business had to operate very differently as it scaledWhat Bec learned once the rent roll reached size, including the reality of losing 20–30 properties every month through sales and landlords exitingWhy bringing in new managements doesn't automatically mean growth, and how the numbers can be misleading if you don't understand what's leavingHow many new managements Bec's business needs each month just to stay the same size and why that was a turning point in how she thought about growthWhy one business development manager is never enough in a large rent roll, and how relying on one person limits business growthHow Bec structured business development across a team inside an LJ Hooker network to support a growing rent rollWhat it looked like when Bec was personally running sales, property management, finance, HR, and payroll and why that model eventually brokeHow motherhood, family life, and burnout forced Bec to redesign the business so it no longer relied on her being across everything and support her life long termKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate
This week on From the Pasture with Hired Hand, we sit down with Shawn Sayre of S-A Longhorns in Brookfield, Missouri—a name you know both from the sale ring and the pasture. Shawn shares how S-A Longhorns began in 2011, the same year he and Alyson were married, and how their program carries forward a family legacy that started in 1978 when his father founded the B&C Longhorn Sale—a sale the Sayres still run today.We talk herd vision—why S-A prioritizes black-and-white Longhorns, how they pair proven genetics with conformation, horn, and eye appeal, and what day-to-day decisions keep the program consistent. Shawn also pulls back the curtain on Sayre Auction—from Longhorn sales to land, commercial, real estate, machinery, and estate auctions—and how that experience informs both buyer confidence and seller results. It's equal parts family history, breeder strategy, and auction craft from one of the breed's most familiar voices.S-A Longhorns: https://www.s-alonghorns.com/Send us a text From the Pasture with Hired Hand:Hired Hand Websites (@hiredhandwebsites): https://hiredhandsoftware.comHired Hand Live (@hiredhandlive): https://hiredhandlive.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/hiredhandwebsites/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HiredHandSoftwareTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@hiredhandwebsitesNewsletter: https://www.hiredhandsoftware.com/resources/stay-informed

Angela talks with Dani Dotterosa, a Benefit Auctioneer and gala fundraising consultant, about how to turn stressful nonprofit and school events into high-ROI fundraisers. Dani explains why you should treat your gala like the Super Bowl, how to separate "offense" (fundraising strategy) from "defense" (event logistics), and why ambiguity kills volunteer engagement and donations. She shares practical tips for getting better auction items, motivating busy parents and volunteers, setting budgets for first-time events, and building a "pure profit iceberg" with sponsors, matches, and paddle raisers. Dani also gives a peek into her unique background in iridology and how she creatively donates iris-reading parties to boost gala revenue. Learn more at her website AuctionsByDani.com!

Guest: Dia Bondi Guest Bio: Dia Bondi is a Communications Catalyst for high-impact people. In her private coaching and programs, she works with C-level leaders, VC-backed founders, and ambitious professionals, helping them find their voice and lead with it. Her workshops and talks are hosted by corporations including Quartz, Salesforce, Google's X-team, and Dropbox. In global sport, she helped Rio de Janeiro secure the 2016 Summer Olympics. After attending auctioneering school for fun, she translated the techniques she learned into a program that prepares ambitious professionals, and especially women, to ask for more and leave nothing on the table, called Ask Like an Auctioneer. She's been featured on CNBC Make It, Forbes, and Fast Company. Her book, Ask Like an Auctioneer: How to Ask for More and Get It, is available now. Key Points: Dia's Backstory & Career Path Started her career in fitness, where she loved helping people feel powerful and embodied. Then, transitioned into training and development (professional development) after college. She discovered her passion for storytelling and communication while observing a workshop for finance leaders. Dia founded Dia Bondy Communications in 2009 to help leaders and VC-backed founders communicate effectively in high-stakes moments. "Ask Like an Auctioneer" Concept Inspired by her side work as a fundraising auctioneer. The key principle: ask big enough to get a “no”, because a “no” signals you've reached the upper limit of what's possible. In business, people often limit their asks based on what they think they can get, leaving money and opportunity on the table. Instead of selling to the first yes, push further to uncover maximum value. Overcoming Fear of Asking Fear of rejection keeps people from asking boldly. Many assume rejection damages relationships, but often it doesn't. Leaders should teach teams that discomfort (the Zofo—Zone of Freaking Out) is a signal of courage and potential growth. Reframe rejection: it's information about value, not a judgment of personal worth. Lessons from Auctioneering for Business & Sales · Price = a reflection of value, not worth. The same item can sell for vastly different amounts depending on the audience. · Know your “reserve.” Like an auctioneer's minimum acceptable price, know your bottom line before asking. · People are irrational. Decisions are often emotional, even in data-driven environments—so storytelling is critical. Four Types of Asks That Drive Growth 1. Money – dollars, budgets, contracts. 2. Influence – visibility, access to networks, platforming yourself. 3. Authority – positioning yourself to make important decisions. 4. Balance – aligning deals and clients with the kind of work you actually want. Why People Struggle with Asking Fear of rejection. Lack of clarity on what to ask for and when to ask. Sometimes people make asks that are too small, too vague, or to the wrong audience. Framework for a Strategic Ask (first 4 of 6 steps) Define your main concrete goal. Identify the next big move toward that goal. Determine the ask that advances that move. Ensure the ask is big enough to risk rejection. Storytelling Framework: “Blocker Buster” What your audience wants. What's blocking them from achieving it? How do you remove the blockers? Your ask (to move them forward). Big Takeaways Asking boldly is a skill that can be learned. The most powerful ask live in the Zofo—the zone of freaking out. Rejection is not failure; it's valuable feedback about what the other side values. Asking strategically, with courage and clarity, maximizes opportunities for growth, influence, and alignment.

Ever wondered what an auctioneering school could teach you about leadership communication? In this conversation with Dia Bondi, communications catalyst and author of "Ask Like an Auctioneer," Cam and Otis explore the fascinating connection between the rapid-fire world of auctions and the strategic art of asking for what you want."You're basically learning to sell something in a minute and a half," Dia explains about her auctioneering training, revealing how this condensed transaction moment contains powerful lessons for business leaders. From the illusion of fast-talking (it's actually about breath manipulation) to the courage required to "show up big in big moments," Dia breaks down what makes truly clutch communicators effective.What makes this episode especially compelling is Dia's formula for making strategic asks. She outlines a four-part approach that moves beyond simply stating what you want to creating a compelling case that removes blockers and drives results. As she puts it, the best communicators "know who to ask, when to ask it, and what to ask for. And they're not low-balling themselves ever."Whether you're looking to improve your leadership communication, make more effective requests, or simply understand the psychology behind powerful asking, this conversation offers practical wisdom that might just have you stepping into your own "zone of freaking out" (ZOFO) – where the real growth happens.Dia's exclusive link for 10x Your Team listeners: https://www.diabondi.com/coMore About Dia:Dia Bondi is an expert in Leadership Communications, with two decades of experience coaching top CEOs, VC-backed founders, and innovators to speak powerfully and amplify their impact.

I'm absolutely thrilled to share this conversation with the brilliant Dia Bondi - someone I deeply respect, admire, and have the absolute best time with. Dia is not only the author of "Ask Like an Auctioneer" but also one of the most courageous and bold leadership communication experts I know, helping transformational leaders find their voice and make big decisions. In this deeply personal conversation, Dia takes us back to her roots growing up in Sonoma County in a family of small business owners, where she learned early lessons about entrepreneurship from watching her dad leave his job to start a construction company with the philosophy "don't buy a dump truck till you need a dump truck." What strikes me most about Dia's story is how she's always followed her instincts - from that visceral reaction in a corporate interview that told her she couldn't work in a cubicle, to spending a year and a half discovering what she truly wanted to do, to eventually building a thriving leadership communications business that has generated million-dollar payouts. Dia shares candidly about how she and her husband have approached money as business partners from day one, reading books like "The Millionaire Next Door" to create a shared operating system around spending and saving. She reveals how she made money "unimportant" for years due to family stories about the dangers of wealth, and how she gradually learned to value her work appropriately and participate in the upside she creates for clients. This conversation is packed with tactical insights about transitioning from corporate work to entrepreneurship, pricing your services, and building wealth while keeping your cost of living intentionally low to protect what matters most - your time, energy, and freedom.

Have you ever hesitated to hit send on a proposal… or avoided following up because you dreaded hearing “no”? If that's you, you're not alone—and this episode is your permission slip to stop letting rejection hold you back. Lisa McGuire sits down with Andrea Waltz, co-author of the bestselling book Go for No, to flip the script on rejection and give you a radical new way to approach your goals. Andrea shares her personal journey of growing up in a world that taught her to stay quiet and avoid asking for what she wanted—only to discover that “no” wasn't something to fear, but a necessary step to success. In this episode, you'll learn how to build your rejection muscle, set goals for how many times you hear no (yes, seriously), and why authenticity—not perfection—is your biggest business asset. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just getting started, this conversation will help you overcome your fear of rejection and start embracing the path to yes. “Yes is the destination, but no is how you get there.” – Andrea Waltz Key Takeaways Rejection is not personal—it's data and direction. “No” goals help gamify outreach and remove fear. Your mindset around failure determines your resilience. Authenticity leads to deeper business connections. Most people don't fail; they simply stop too soon. Silence on social media is often misread as rejection—keep showing up. Entrepreneurs and sales professionals need different “rejection recovery” tactics. Vulnerable, honest asks create trust and better responses. You grow through rejection—not around it. Resources Go for No by Andrea Waltz & Richard Fenton – A business fable about reframing rejection to find success. The Aladdin Factor by Jack Canfield & Mark Victor Hansen – A book that teaches the power of asking. Sandler Sales System – A proven framework that encourages asking tough questions and embracing no early. Sell Well B2B Sales Conference – A values-aligned event for purpose-driven sales professionals. Ask Like an Auctioneer by Dia Bondi – Encourages bold asking to find your limits and maximize results.
