Leave your commentIn this powerful episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Tom Burton and Brandon Lee are joined by Alice Heiman, a strategic sales advisor to CEOs and host of Sales Talk for CEOs. Together, they explore a critical yet often overlooked truth: CEOs must be active participants in driving sales strategy, visibility, and culture within their companies.Far from being a back-office role, the CEO today is the face, voice, and momentum behind successful sales organizations especially in founder-led and early-growth companies. Alice shares rich insights and real-world examples on how CEOs either drive growth or unknowingly prevent it.The CEO as a Sales Driver, Not Just a Visionary CEOs must be involved in sales not just setting targets, but also shaping the narrative, supporting the team, and building credibility in the marketplace.Visibility is Vital CEOs who are absent from public view are losing deals before they even start. Being accessible and sharing insights humanizes the brand and draws in top talent and prospects.Stop Selling Like a Founder Many CEOs fail because they expect salespeople to sell like them. Alice explains why founder-led sales needs to evolve and how to create scalable processes that work for your team.Outdated Playbooks Are Hurting Sales The 2009 “Predictable Revenue” model doesn't hold up in a modern, buyer-first world. Alice encourages a fresh, audience-centric approach built on relationships and relevance.A New Go-To-Market Mindset CEOs need to focus on sustainable growth. That means investing in demand generation, customer journey mapping, and a real GTM strategy not just adding more salespeople.Modern selling isn't just the job of the sales team, it's a company-wide responsibility that starts at the top.If you're a CEO still hiding behind spreadsheets and silence, this episode will challenge you to show up, speak out, and open the doors only you can open.

Leave your commentIn Episode 136 of Mastering Modern Selling, Brandon Lee, Tom Burton, and Carson Heady welcome back a show favorite Larry Long Jr, CEO and Chief Energy Officer of LLJR Enterprises. Larry doesn't hold back. With a mix of energy, humor, and real talk, he calls on sellers and leaders to ditch outdated habits and build something that actually works today.This episode hits hard on what it really takes to stand out in a world that's constantly moving: owning your calendar, taking daily reps, and showing up with intention. Larry's philosophy is simple: get clear on your purpose, stay committed, and don't wait around for perfect conditions.Sales Has Changed, Stop Acting Like It Hasn't “There's still dinosaurs out there, but they're extinct.” Larry doesn't mince words. If you're still relying on tactics from 2014, you're behind. Making 1,000 calls a day hoping something lands isn't a strategy, it's noise. Buyers have changed, and sellers need to catch up.Forget ‘Safe', Start Being Seen “Your content is not creating trust.” That was Brandon's mic drop, and Larry doubled down. Polished, lifeless messaging isn't helping anyone. The people you're trying to reach want something real. Share your story, talk about your journey, and be someone worth believing in.Worry Isn't the Problem, Inaction Is Larry says it straight: a little worry is healthy if it gets you moving. But if you're stuck worrying without action, that's on you. It's not about being flashy, it's about doing the work. “Let me see your calendar. Who are you meeting? What are you learning?”Success Comes from Reps, Not Excuses “You've got to get the reps in.” Larry's sports background shines through as he reminds us that success isn't random. It's about repetition, accountability, and small steps done daily. Want results? Stop hoping and start practicing.The JOLT Effect – Jump On Life Today Larry's signature mindset is captured in one word: JOLT - Jump On Life Today. Why? Because waiting is a trap. “Tomorrow is not promised.” Whether it's getting healthy for your family or building a sales rhythm that works, it starts with taking real action now.This episode is a wake-up call for every seller who's coasting or playing it safe. Larry reminds us: the path to being unstoppable starts with ownership. Don't wait for motivation. Don't wait for the market to shift. Build your discipline. Practice with purpose. And show up differently every single day. Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!

Leave your commentWhat if your next sales hire wasn't human?In this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Isabella Bedoya, Co-CEO of Infinite AI, shares how sales teams are evolving by bringing AI “employees” into the mix. We go beyond the hype to explore practical use cases, ethical concerns, and the new skills sales pros must master to stay competitive in this AI-enabled landscape.Whether you're curious, cautious, or already experimenting with AI, this episode will help you think more strategically about the future of your sales team.1. AI Employees Are Not Just Chatbots Isabella defines AI employees as task-performing agents embedded in workflows, not just tools you prompt, but systems that take action automatically across SMS, email, calls, and CRM. Think of them as digital team members handling your follow-ups, reactivations, and more.2. Sales Reps Won't Be Replaced, But They Will Be Repositioned AI handles the mundane and repetitive. Human reps move into strategist roles managing AI workflows, handling complex objections, and owning the emotional intelligence required to close.3. Scaling Outreach Without Scaling Headcount Instead of hiring more SDRs or BDRs, companies are using AI to nurture leads, qualify opportunities, and schedule demos. It's not theory, it's happening now, and Isabella walks us through real-world use cases like post-trade-show follow-ups and digital sales assistants.4. Trust Isn't Lost, It's Rebuilt Through Value AI can build trust when it delivers consistently valuable, fast responses. If it's trained well, it may outperform junior reps. Still, Isabella emphasizes that closing deals and earning emotional buy-in remains a human function for now.5. New Role of the Seller: Coach, Manager, Strategist Sales pros will soon manage a team of AI agents, much like GMs in “Moneyball.” The skills to build prompts, tweak workflows, and analyze data will be key differentiators. Coaching AI and being coached by it will become a real scenario in sales teams.The rise of AI employees in sales isn't about replacing talent, it's about redeploying it. As Isabella says, the reps who win will be the ones who embrace these tools, build systems, and create more space for the kind of selling only humans can do.Sales isn't going away. It's getting smarter. Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!

Talking Crow with Brandon Lee. Featuring an actual on set account of the events that took his life.

“Buildings Burn, People Die, But Real Love is Forever!”We're closing out April Showers in unforgettable fashion—with a rain-drenched, emotionally charged 90s classic that's also one of Henrique's all-time favorite films. Join Henrique and David as they descend into the stormy streets of Detroit for a tale of loss, vengeance, and gothic heroism in 1994's The Crow. Directed by Alex Proyas and starring Brandon Lee, Michael Wincott, and Ernie Hudson, this supernatural action film tells the story of musician Eric Draven, who returns from the grave exactly one year after he and his fiancée were murdered—to seek justice as the vengeful spirit known only as The Crow.

Send us a textIn this powerhouse episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Brandon Lee, Tom Burton, and Carson Heady are joined by JD Miller, a seasoned sales executive turned private equity advisor. With six successful exits under his belt, JD brings a rare blend of operational insight and boardroom savvy. The discussion centers on how private equity firms evaluate and scale their portfolio companies—especially in the sales and marketing domains—and what sales leaders can do today to thrive in that high-expectation environment.Repeatability Is the Foundation of Scale JD highlights that scaling isn't just about hiring more reps, it's about implementing repeatable, measurable systems. When transitioning from a founder-led sales model to a broader team, companies need to get critical knowledge out of leaders' heads and into structured playbooks. This is essential when growing from five sellers to two hundred. Without repeatable processes, scale isn't sustainable.Sales Leadership Must Be Fluent in Data Today's top CROs are expected to lead with data. Whether through deep CRM analysis, conversation intelligence, or funnel metrics, modern sales leaders need to understand how to break down growth targets into tactical, trackable levers. JD emphasized the need for CROs to either personally embrace analytics or work closely with RevOps to translate insights into strategy.“SMarketing”: Sales and Marketing as a Single Engine JD introduced the concept of "SMarketing", a true merger of sales and marketing into one go-to-market function. He shared real-world examples of aligning revenue goals with both teams' activities and discussed how metrics like sales velocity can guide joint decision-making.Bi-weekly check-ins and shared accountability are critical to keeping both teams rowing in the same direction.Messaging for the Modern Buyer Buyers today expect a well-informed, highly personalized approach. JD stressed the importance of showing up with a point of view rooted in research, data, and empathy. In a volatile economy, messaging must pivot from “growth at all costs” to helping buyers reduce risk and improve efficiency. Sales and marketing alignment ensures these themes are consistent across every touchpoint.Performance Plans: Tools for Growth, Not Punishment In JD's view, performance improvement plans should be part of every employee's journey, not a disciplinary action. He advocates for quarterly development conversations that blend short-term performance goals with long-term career aspirations. JD Miller's episode is a masterclass in bridging strategy and execution in modern selling. Whether you're a CRO in a high-growth startup, a founder looking for investment, or a marketer working closely with sales, the principles JD shares can redefine how you scale. By focusing on repeatable systems, cross-functional alignment, and buyer-centric messaging, you can transform your sales motion into an engine that attracts not only customers, but also investors.

In this episode, Brandon Lee, founder of Fist Bump and seasoned entrepreneur, shares how modern buyers have changed—and why your sales approach should too. Discover why traditional outreach is failing, how to lead with value through content, and how to build trust before asking for a meeting. From lessons learned through failure to insights on authentic LinkedIn engagement, Brandon breaks down what it really means to make sales social in today's world.

The Crow for a long time was considered a property that was untouchable. The tragedy of Brandon Lee's passing during the making of the 1994 film immortalized his portrayal for fans. Although there was zero interest in the property being formally rebooted—there were three sequels and a TV show—the studio soldiered on. They even ignored all the signs that it probably wasn't meant to be. The Crow's path back to the big screen saw multiple directors sign on and off, and a myriad of lead actors come and go. By the time it finally happened in 2024, the fans couldn't even be bothered to hate watch it. The Crow, with a box office around $24 million, was one of the bigger flops of the year. This despite having a rather modest budget of just $50 million. Reviews were just as scathing. Critics made it clear The Crow was better off staying dead this time around, excoriating it with a 21% on Rotten Tomatoes. Now, sit back, free your soul with a Grateful Dead Juicy Pale Ale from Dogfish Head, and quench your thirst for vengeance! The Thunderous Wizard, Chumpzilla, and Bling Blake are looking for the exit in this weird purgatory warehouse! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – True love never dies!

Send us a textIn this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Brandon Lee and Tom Burton explore the evolving world of sales and marketing in 2025. They focus on the strategies that are truly working in today's fast-changing landscape and provide actionable insights on how businesses can thrive. From content strategy to social selling and the importance of patience, this episode is packed with thought-provoking ideas for sales professionals.Patience in Sales and Content StrategyIn an era where instant gratification is the norm, Brandon and Tom emphasize the importance of patience. Consistency in content production and strategic engagement is essential for long-term sales success. Sales success doesn't happen overnight. Consistent, value-driven content and outreach, especially on platforms like LinkedIn, build relationships that will pay off down the line​.The Importance of Authentic ContentOne of the most significant shifts in content marketing is moving away from self-promotional messaging to authentic, educational, and human-centered content. Both Brandon and Tom stress that creating content that shares real-life experiences, teaches valuable lessons, and offers insights is far more effective than traditional sales pitches​.Social Media Strategy: Evolving with LinkedInLinkedIn continues to be a critical platform for B2B sales, but success requires more than just posting regularly. Brandon highlights that engagement with others' posts, especially with meaningful comments, plays a crucial role in increasing visibility and positioning yourself as a thought leader. Live Events and Podcasts as Trust BuildersTom shares his experience with podcasts and live shows, especially in niche industries like manufacturing and wholesale distribution. These platforms have proven to build trust and establish authority, even if they don't immediately generate sales. The real power lies in educating and nurturing relationships over time. The more you share and contribute to the community, the more likely you are to be seen as a trusted advisor when the time comes for the prospect to make a decision​.The Shift from Sales Pitches to Educational ConversationsBoth hosts highlight the shift in how buyers view vendors. The focus is no longer on selling products but on educating potential clients and positioning yourself as a partner who helps solve their problems. This transition, however, requires patience and a long-term mindset​.As we head deeper into 2025, the key to success lies in building meaningful relationships, whether through social media, live events, or thoughtful content. Patience, authenticity, and a focus on educating rather than selling will set businesses apart. As Brandon and Tom show, modern selling isn't about immediate returns, it's about laying the foundation for future growth.If you want to be our next guest and share your insights, book your preferred date from this link Be Our Next Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!

What better time for a crossover than a comic book adaptation? This week, Graham is joined by Andrew and Mick, the two hosts of Behold!, to examine the 2024 remake of James O'Barr's cult comic The Crow. Famously the source for a 1994 film starring Brandon Lee, that star's on-set death sparked rumours that the property was cursed, rumours that can only have increased once people saw this.Entering Pop Screen's airspace thanks to its decision to cast FKA Twigs as the hero's doomed love Shelly, the trio discuss her music and acting as well as the largely-ignored wider Crow mythology, the puzzlingly miscast films of Rupert Sanders, Bill Skarsgard's strengths and limitations as a leading man and the film's unexpected debts to Paddington 2.

Send us a textWe remember loving this movie in the 90s. As kids, this movie was serious kick-ass awesomeness. It may have been the best comic book movie of the 90s! Sure the bar was low but that doesn't change the fact that we remember a dark and bruting look, a 90s grunge soundtrack, a whose who of bad guy actors, and unfortunately a career-defining and final performance from Brandon Lee. If this movie is not as good as we remember we just might go goth and brude in our rooms for a week writing awful gloom poetry with the volume on our ghetto blaster turned up. All the way up.Do You Remember Liking This Movie?

Tune into another episode of ON MY POD hosted by Diego Tinoco with one of the stars from COBRA KAI - Brandon Lee aka KWON as he talks about booking the hit Netflix series & the journey it took getting there.

Haunted by the legacy of his superstar father. Haunted by an old family curse. Brandon Lee tried to outrun his past, but it came after him all the same. It was said that his father, Bruce Lee, was taken by that family curse at just 32 years old. And that it then followed Brandon, when he was 28, to the set of The Crow, a cross between a superhero blockbuster and a brooding art film that was all goth. The shoot was plagued by injury, electrocution, storms, fires, and car crashes – and culminated in tragedy when a prop gun fired a real bullet.

Send us a textIn this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, hosts Brandon Lee and Carson Heady are joined by special guest Anthony Iannarino to explore how to successfully navigate the changing B2B sales landscape. They discuss why traditional outreach methods are failing, how buyers' expectations have shifted, and what sales professionals must do to build real connections that drive results.1. The Evolution of the Buyer's JourneyBuyers no longer rely on salespeople for information; they are well-researched before engaging.Salespeople must focus on building unique relationships and offering value that cannot be easily found online.2. Why Cold Outreach is Becoming IneffectiveTraditional cold calls and mass email outreach are becoming less effective because buyers are overwhelmed with unsolicited messages.Instead of pitch-based messaging, sales professionals should prioritize relationship-building through social selling and thought leadership.3. The Power of Personal Branding and Social SellingPosting relevant content and engaging on LinkedIn can help salespeople build credibility and stay top of mind with prospects.A well-placed social media post, personal story, or insightful comment can open doors that traditional cold outreach cannot.4. Creating Strategic Value in Sales ConversationsThe best salespeople create value by deeply understanding the buyer's business and offering insights, rather than focusing on their own company's strengths.The "Four Levels of Value in Sales" framework suggests that sellers should move beyond product features and focus on delivering strategic outcomes.5. How to Crack the Code of Modern B2B SalesStop Selling, Start Helping: Salespeople should focus on facilitating the buyer's decision-making process rather than forcing a sale.Introduce and Connect Decision-Makers: Providing introductions to key players within and outside the buyer's industry builds trust and influence.Use Insights to Guide Buyers: Rather than pitching, sales professionals should bring valuable insights to the table, showing buyers what they might be missing.Adapt to Buyer Behavior: By leveraging social selling, community engagement, and digital platforms, salespeople can meet buyers where they are rather than forcing outdated outreach methods.The key to modern B2B sales lies in adapting to the way buyers make decisions today. The old-school approach of persistent cold calling and aggressive pitching is losing its effectiveness. Instead, success comes from creating meaningful connections, understanding what truly matters to buyers, and positioning oneself as a valuable resource. By focusing on trust, insights, and strategic collaboration, sales professionals can crack the code of modern selling and build long-term relationships that Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!

In this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Brandon Lee, Carson Heady, and Tom Burton discuss the importance of the Digital CEO—a modern-day executive who actively engages on LinkedIn and other digital platforms to build trust, credibility, and relationships. The conversation dives into why today's CEOs can no longer afford to remain invisible and why being digitally present is a core job responsibility for leaders in 2025 and beyond.1. The CEO as a Brand EvangelistA CEO's presence on LinkedIn is not about self-promotion, but about showcasing company culture, vision, and values.Companies with digitally active CEOs are viewed as more trustworthy and attract better talent and clients.2. LinkedIn Is a Business Necessity, Not an OptionLinkedIn is no longer just for job seekers—it's the world's leading business networking platform.CEOs and other C-suite executives who fail to engage digitally risk losing relevance and missing key relationship-building opportunities.The organic reach on LinkedIn is still strong compared to other platforms where paid advertising dominates.3. What Should a CEO Be Posting?CEOs should not just talk about themselves or their company's products.Instead, they should share:Industry insights and observationsCompany culture, successes, and behind-the-scenes momentsEngaging stories about customers, employees, and the journey of leadershipRegular, authentic content builds a CEO's credibility and strengthens their company's brand.4. The Time & Resource Commitment for CEOsMany CEOs resist social media due to time constraints, but a strong strategy can be executed in under an hour a week.Options include:Hosting a live show or podcast to generate content effortlesslyEngaging briefly but meaningfully with followers and industry discussions.The investment in time and resources is minimal compared to the return in brand trust, sales opportunities, and talent attraction.5. Shouldn't Marketing Handle This?Marketing plays a critical role, but nothing replaces the credibility of a CEO's personal voice.The best approach is a collaboration—CEOs share their thoughts, and marketing amplifies them through various channels.Live shows, interviews, and consistent engagement make content creation easy without requiring extensive preparation.The conversation makes it clear: in 2025, a CEO's digital presence is non-negotiable. Being active on LinkedIn and other platforms is not just about marketing, it's about leadership, credibility, and visibility in the modern business world. Companies whose executives embrace this shift will have stronger brands, better talent pipelines, and more engaged customers.

Un'icona del doppiaggio, una voce che è diventata leggenda e un volto che il cinema, il teatro e la televisione italiana conoscono bene. Ebbene sì, Luca Ward è passato dal BSMT. Ha prestato la sua voce a personaggi indimenticabili come Neo in Matrix, il Gladiatore di Russell Crowe, Samuel L. Jackson in Pulp Fiction e Brandon Lee ne Il Corvo. Ma Luca non si è fermato dietro al microfono: ha lavorato tanto in teatro, in TV ha conquistato il pubblico recitando in fiction di successo come Elisa di Rivombrosa, e in radio la sua voce continua ad essere una certezza da più di trent'anni. Una chiacchierata intensa e autentica, in cui abbiamo parlato di come la voce possa diventare uno strumento di potere ed emozione, del dietro le quinte del mondo del doppiaggio e di una storia di passione, sacrificio e resilienza, fatta di grandi successi e momenti difficili che hanno reso Luca Ward l'uomo e il professionista che è oggi.

Welcome to Episode #11 of the 4ever in Electric Dreams & CONFESSIONS OF A CURLY MIND co-production - Supple & Lean | A Geekcast. Presented by Imran Mirza from London, UK, and Vahé Vishapakagh Koshayan from Melbourne, Australia, for this episode the duo delve into all things related to 'The Crow'. With origins from James O'Barr's 1989 comic book series 'The Crow', the impassioned piece of work spawned its first on-screen iteration with the Alex Proyas-helmed movie in 1994. Starring the dearly departed Brandon Lee in a career-defining performance, the film went on to achieve cult status and has been revered since its release now 31 years ago. Following the 1994 original, subsequent entries within the franchise were marked by 'The Crow: City of Angels' (1996), 'The Crow: Salvation' (2000) and 'The Crow: Wicked Prayer' (2005) with neither generating favourable reviews or the money required to really justify the iteration that would follow. 'The Crow: Stairway to Heaven' - the 1998 TV series - perhaps generated the most favourable reviews but didn't get the chance to continue their story with the planned second season which never came to fruition; yet more Crows followed with a mix of the stories recounting the forlorn tragedy of the ill-fated lovers Eric Draven and Shelly Webster amongst others who were wronged by the harsh cruelty of an unjust life. The 30 year milestone has been marked by the release of the latest iteration of the vengeful vigilante, this time with Rupert Sanders in the director's chair leading a cast of Bill Skarsgård, FKA Twigs and Danny Huston. With Vahé and Imran both long-time fans of the 1994 original, the time seemed right to have a lengthy chat about their affections for Proyas' masterpiece, delve into the comics for the first time and revisit the sequels and reboots in an incredibly expansive conversation into James O'Barr's incredible world. The show today features original music from Supple & Lean featuring Shelly Draven with 'Your Dark Path'. www.4everinelectricdreams.com/ Emanating from London, UK, the 4ever in Electric Dreams website and podcast network is designed to help us celebrate the things we loved growing up and the things that continue to excite and inspire us today.

In this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Lee Salz, sales strategist and author, joins Tom Burton and Brandon Lee to discuss the importance of a structured sales playbook. He challenges the belief that hiring "great salespeople" is enough, emphasizing that success depends on having the right system, not just talent. Without a structured playbook, even top performers can struggle.Lee shares a framework for building a custom sales playbook, helping organizations reduce chaos, improve consistency, and drive scalable sales success.1. The Myth of "Great Salespeople"Talent alone isn't enough—sales success requires structure.Companies often lose sales due to inconsistency, not lack of skill.2. The Four Foundational Elements of a Custom Sales Playbooka. Decision Influencer AnalysisSales teams must understand who their buyers are and what keeps them up at night.Using tools like AI, reps can research their prospect's goals, challenges, and priorities to create more relevant outreach.b. Competitor AnalysisA simple “why we win” vs. “why they win” analysis helps sales teams prepare for competitive deals.Price should not be the main differentiator—companies win when they clearly articulate unique value.c. Differentiators FrameworkSales teams should define clear, compelling differentiators and align them with customer pain points.The playbook must include how to position these differentiators in conversations to make them meaningful.d. Target Client ProfileInstead of an ideal client profile (which is often unrealistic), focus on who will perceive meaningful value in what you sell.Sales reps should spend their time targeting the right buyers, not just any prospect.3. The Execution Plan: Structuring the Sales ProcessA strong sales playbook goes beyond foundational elements and maps out the step-by-step process reps should follow.This includes:Prospecting & Outreach: Using a mix of email, phone, and LinkedIn with structured messaging templates.First Meetings: Shifting from a discovery mindset to a consultative approach where reps provide immediate value.4. Using Emotion and Storytelling in SalesBuyers make decisions emotionally first and justify them with logic.Salespeople should document success stories and use them in sales conversations to make solutions feel real and relatable.Lee emphasizes that hiring better salespeople isn't the answer—building better systems is. A structured playbook provides consistency, improves execution, and increases revenue. If your sales team lacks direction, it's time to stop guessing and start executing.  Don't miss out—your next big idea could be just one episode away!

We had the pleasure of sitting down with Seasoned CESA ECNL -RL coach, Brandon Lee. In this episode we dive deep into Brandon's youth sports background, and how what seemed to be mistakes made as a youth athlete that may have impacted his ability to play at the next level, turned out for good and paved the path for his current coaching career. The impact he has on his soccer teams/players goes beyond the field, and as soccer parents, it was very encouraging and refreshing to hear Brandon's coaching priorities and how he truly values the future of each of his players on and off the field. We loved recording this episode, we hope ya'll enjoy the show!

In this episode of Mastering Modern Selling, Brandon Lee and Carson Heady host Chris Dunn, VP of Sales and Business Development at Blue Hive Exhibits. Chris shares his transformation from a passive LinkedIn user to a recognized expert in his field, illustrating the power of authenticity, consistency, and relationship-building in the modern sales landscape. This journey reveals key strategies for leveraging platforms like LinkedIn, adapting to market shifts, and fostering meaningful connections in a buyer-centric world.The Power of LinkedIn as a Relationship-Building ToolChris started leveraging LinkedIn during the pandemic when his traditional sales methods were disrupted. He transitioned from casual posting to sharing industry insights, personal stories, and authentic content. This approach helped him establish credibility and visibility in his network.Dark Social and Trust BuildingChris discussed the concept of “dark social,” referring to how interactions on social platforms often lead to offline conversions. Prospects often feel like they "know" you through your online presence before initiating conversations, reducing barriers to trust.Balancing Authenticity and ProfessionalismChris emphasized the importance of being authentic while maintaining professionalism on platforms like LinkedIn. Sharing personal stories, such as his morning walks with his dog, Barton, allowed him to humanize his brand and create relatable touchpoints with his audience.The Long Game in Modern SellingSuccess in modern sales requires a commitment to the long game. Instead of aggressive cold outreach, Chris focuses on nurturing relationships, offering value, and waiting for organic opportunities to emerge.Live Shows as a Trust-Building ToolChris emphasized the value of hosting live shows to establish authority and deepen connections. By sharing expertise in a conversational format and engaging with audiences in real-time, live shows humanize the sales process, build trust, and position sales professionals as approachable thought leaders. Results Through Reputation and ConsistencyChris highlighted that 20% of his sales quota has been directly influenced by his LinkedIn activity. Sharing visually engaging content from the trade show world and consistently engaging with his audience has led to meaningful business opportunities.Chris Dunn's story is a testament to the evolving nature of sales. His journey from “lurker” to LinkedIn influencer underscores the importance of authenticity, persistence, and a willingness to adapt. As Chris pointed out, modern selling is about playing the long game, building relationships, and creating a trusted presence in the digital sphere.

In this episode on Mastering Modern Selling, Brandon Lee and Carson Heady welcome Stephen Oommen, former sales leader at Microsoft and author-in-progress of The Chameleon Effect. The discussion dives into Stephen's innovative approach to building authentic connections in sales, the importance of adaptability, and the emotional journey behind his philosophies.The Concept of the Chameleon EffectStephen explained The Chameleon Effect as the ability to adapt and connect with anyone. It's not about manipulation but understanding and empathizing with people's lived experiences. This adaptability stems from his diverse cultural experiences and challenges, making it a cornerstone for building meaningful relationships in sales.Intention Matters More Than TechniqueWhile many focus on sales techniques, Stephen emphasized the importance of intention behind actions. Techniques without authentic intention can come off as disingenuous or "cringy." Successful salesmanship comes from combining intention with the right tactics.Transforming Hurt into HealingSharing deeply personal anecdotes, Stephen discussed how childhood adversities and racism shaped his ability to empathize and connect with others. He reframed "hurt people hurt people" into "hurt people heal people," using his experiences to bridge gaps with others.Why Sales is About More Than TransactionsStephen challenged the cold, transactional approach to sales. He believes that investing time to network, create warm connections, and understand prospects' personal and professional goals yields better long-term results.Intention + Tactic = TrustStephen outlined how specific behaviors, like mirroring someone's tone or using familiar language, can create instant rapport. However, these tactics only work when backed by a genuine desire to connect. For example, he shared a story of calling male colleagues “brother,” which helped establish camaraderie, but only because it was rooted in his authentic experiences and respect.This episode underscores that modern selling isn't about tactics alone—it's about authenticity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence. Stephen Oommen's Chameleon Effect teaches us to embrace differences, connect meaningfully, and make sales a noble profession centered on trust and relationships.
