Podcasts about buyers

In this episode, Robert Llewellyn sits down with Feann Torr from  @carsales  to unpack the electric vehicle revolution transforming Australia. From BYD and MG to Tesla and Hyundai, they discuss how Chinese automakers are shaking up the industry and driving EVs to become the most affordable option on the market. Feann shares his insights into the rapid rise of EV interest — growing from 30% to 37% of Australian car buyers — and explains how China has become the country's third-largest source of car imports. They also discuss how Chinese EVs are winning the price war, the psychological shift that's making electric cars feel like “just another car” to new buyers, and why the Hyundai Ioniq 5 N is converting even the most loyal V8 fans. Finally, Feann and Robert couldn't help but get just a little excited about the groundbreaking potential of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) technology and what it could mean for an energy-independent Australia.  https://www.carsales.com.au/ 00:00:07 - Global EV Adoption: Norway, China, and the General State of Growth 00:01:47 - Introducing Feann Torr & Carsales Australia's Editorial Focus 00:02:38 - EV Price Parity: The Electric Car is Becoming the Cheapest Option 00:04:30 - Feann's Background, from Video Games to the Automotive Crossroads 00:06:08 - The Chinese EV Invasion in Australia (BYD, GWM) 00:08:45 - The Psychology of EV Adoption: EVs as "Just Cars" 00:09:52 - Country of Origin: Dealing with Geopolitical Pushback 00:12:06 - The Shifting Mindset: Diminishing EV Resistance (Australia's 8% Market) 00:14:14 - The Narrowing Cost Gap & The Arrival of Sub-$30,000 EVs 00:16:17 - Chinese Cars Overtake Korean Brands in Australian Imports 00:18:20 - Shock at the Shanghai Motor Show & Chinese Tech Dominance 00:20:51 - Mainstream Japanese Brands (Mazda/Toyota) Partnering for EV Platforms 00:23:49 - The Rapid Growth of Australia's Charging Network (EVIE, Charge Fox) 00:27:07 - On-Street Charging Rules and Innovative Lamppost Chargers in Sydney 00:30:16 - Tesla's Dominance Challenged by New, Affordable Chinese Rivals 00:33:38 - The Value of the Everything Electric Test Drive Experience (130k Drives) 00:37:07 - Carsales Survey Data: Rising EV Consideration (30% to 37%) 00:39:06 - The Secondhand EV Market & Steep Depreciation (Good for Buyers) 00:43:57 - Busting the Battery Replacement Myth (CATL's 90-Year Battery) 00:50:31 - The Enthusiast Market: V8s vs. High-Performance EVs (Hyundai Ioniq 5 N) 00:56:45 - The Argument for Energy Independence & Australia's Solar Capacity 01:03:00 - The Future: Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G) and Powering Your Home from Your Car 01:05:01 - Beyond Cars: Electric Skateboards, Ferries, and Flying Vehicles 01:08:29 - Final Thoughts and Conclusion Why not come and join us at our next Everything Electric expo: https://everythingelectric.show Check out our sister channel Everything Electric CARS: https://www.youtube.com/@fullychargedshow Support our StopBurningStuff campaign: https://www.patreon.com/STOPBurningStuff Become an Everything Electric Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/fullychargedshow Buy the Fully Charged Guide to Electric Vehicles & Clean Energy : https://buff.ly/2GybGt0 Subscribe for episode alerts and the Everything Electric newsletter: https://fullycharged.show/zap-sign-up/ Visit: https://FullyCharged.Show Find us on X: https://x.com/Everyth1ngElec Follow us on Instagram: https://instagram.com/officialeverythingelectric To partner, exhibit or sponsor at our award-winning expos email: commercial@fullycharged.show Everything Electric MELBOURNE - Melbourne Showgrounds 14th, 15th & 16th November 2025 Everything Electric SYDNEY - Sydney Olympic Park 6th, 7th & 8th March 2026 EE NORTH (Harrogate) - 8th & 9th May 2026 EE WEST (Cheltenham) - 12th & 13th June 2026 EE GREATER LONDON (Twickenham) - 11th & 12th Sept 2026   #fullychargedshow #everythingelectricshow #homeenergy #cleanenergy #battery #electriccars #electric-vehicles-uk #australia #byd #tesla #hyundai

Send us a textYour inbox is full, your lot is busy, and buyers are slipping away while messages sit unanswered. We sat down with Velocity360's Joe Ignace and Brandon Tobin to solve the most expensive leak in sheds, steel buildings, and pole barns: slow follow‑up and scattered systems. They lay out a practical sales equation—leads × conversion × average price—and show how to raise the middle term by reaching new inquiries in 60 seconds, following up for days (not minutes), and keeping your best sellers focused on real conversations.We walk through the “digital lot greeting,” a simple shift that makes online buyers feel the same welcome they'd get on your gravel. Velocity360 centralizes texts, phone, email, and Meta messages in one place, with a native phone system that auto‑texts missed calls, drops voicemails, and assigns leads to the hungriest rep. Once a prospect replies, automations pause so the personal touch takes over. After the sale, a second sequence captures reviews and photos—fuel for local SEO and the next buyer—without another tool or login. E‑signature, calendars, and review replies are built in, so you can ditch stacked subscriptions that drain budget without lifting close rates.If integrations worry you, we cover how webhooks connect to 3D configurators like Idea Room, Shed Pro, Meta, and Google—plus the reality that open partners make it easy, and closed platforms can be worked around. The payoff is clarity: an analytics dashboard that shows which ads and sources actually convert, letting you double down where ROI is real. Whether you're a single lot or a 33‑location network, permissions, routing, and white‑glove migration make the switch manageable. The question isn't how attached you are to your current setup—it's whether your CRM actually drives revenue.Ready to stop letting great leads die quietly? Tap to listen, then try a demo at velocity360crm.com. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a builder who needs it, and leave a quick review so more owners can find tools that actually sell.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Would you like to receive our weekly newsletter?  Sign up here.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: J Money LLCShed Hub Making Sales Simple

In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, host Annie Sargent talks with Abigail Carter, a writer and YouTube creator who made a huge life change. Abigail lost her husband in the 9/11 attacks. She raised her two young children in Seattle. Then the pandemic hit and forced her to rethink everything. She realized she wanted a new chapter. Listen to this episode ad-free Abigail began watching videos of people renovating châteaux in France. The idea stuck. She loves travel. She loves houses. She has renovation experience. So she came to France to look at properties. At first, it felt like a fun adventure. But then she walked into a large maison de maître near Agen. It had high ceilings, old windows, caves in a cliff, and a lot of charm. Abigail made an offer the very next day. It was accepted. She found herself the owner of a twelve-bedroom home in the French countryside. Annie and Abigail talk about how to buy a property in France. They discuss inspections, banking, moving money, and dealing with renovations. They also talk about the language challenge. Abigail uses apps, Zoom lessons, and practice in daily life to improve her French. Abigail now runs creative retreats at the château. People come to sketch, write, enjoy food and wine, and discover the countryside. She has already formed a growing community around this project. Annie and Abigail share tips for anyone dreaming of a similar move. They also highlight great places to visit around Agen, including Nérac, Lectoure, Pujols, and Monflanquin. This is a story about resilience, creativity, and starting over in France. It's an inspiring reminder that you can build a new life in a new place. Join Annie and Abigail for an uplifting conversation full of practical advice and beautiful French scenery.

Send us a textBuyers choose the path of least resistance, and that truth can either fuel your growth or quietly stall it. We sit down with Vistage Chair and “No Hassle” advocate Jim Bramlett to break down a four-part framework that makes customers stop hesitating: convenience, price transparency, user experience, and trust. From Amazon and Netflix to Uber and Nebraska Furniture Mart, Jim shows how category leaders remove friction so thoroughly that buyers feel they have no excuse not to say yes.We dig into the Hassle Score and why benchmarking yourself against actual competitors—not your intentions—exposes the real gaps slowing revenue and referrals. Jim shares crisp examples of conscious trade offs between price, convenience, and experience, and then explores how to narrow those trade offs with smarter operating design and practical uses of AI to cut cycle time, clarify quotes, and elevate support without eroding trust. The conversation shifts to the leadership habits that sustain these gains: resilience when plans break, coaching as the core skill of influence, and the surprising power of peer advisory groups where 80 percent of issues center on people, not strategy.Expect a clear path to uncovering blind spots through better questions, building a culture where vulnerability invites help, and leading across generations with curiosity and clarity. If you're ready to simplify buying, earn repeat business, and turn word of mouth into a growth engine, this episode gives you the tools and the mindset to start now.If you found this useful, follow the show, share it with a teammate who owns the customer journey, and leave a quick review to help more leaders discover practical, no-hassle growth.Thanks for tuning in to this episode of Follow The Brand!

Sam McAlister — former BBC Newsnight producer and author of Scoops: Behind the Scenes of the BBC's Most Shocking Interviews — has given extensive behind-the-scenes commentary on how the infamous interview with Prince Andrew, Duke of York came to be. She recounts how her original approach was for a routine charity-profile, but as the scandal involving Jeffrey Epstein intensified, she persuaded the palace to agree to a sit-down that would include “the news issues that were pertinent” — including Epstein. She says she was shocked at how open and responsive Andrew seemed during the negotiations, which gave her confidence the interview would proceed.McAlister also states that, in the direct lead-up to the interview's broadcast, Andrew believed he had succeeded — he reportedly gave the BBC interviewing team a tour of Buckingham Palace, smiled and seemed upbeat, giving the impression he expected the exposure to vindicate him. She observes that his tone shifted dramatically as the fallout emerged, noting: “He was in fine spirits!” after filming, even as the answers rolled out in the final cut that would crash his reputation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

With $4 million to invest, should you secure a high-end condo or stretch into the landed segment? Melvin Lim from PropertyLimBrothers uses the Buying Power Triangle to explore how price thresholds, buyer profiles and exit potential interact in today's property landscape. The $4.5 million mark emerges as a critical pivot—especially for those aiming to future-proof their real estate decisions.   Cooling measures like the 60% ABSD for foreigners have reshaped transaction volumes, pushing local buyers to the forefront. Melvin examines how this shift impacts the buyer pool, resale strategies, and why understanding the aspiration ladder matters more than ever when planning your next move.   If you're navigating property investment around the $4M mark, this episode offers grounded thinking on strategic positioning and long-term exit planning.   0:00 - Teaser 0:54 - Q&A Time - If I have $4 mil, Condo or Landed? 1:13 - Intro to 3 Mechanisms 1:31 - Mechanism 1: Who are the Buyers 1:38 - Chart: New Sale Non-Landed Homes by Foreigners & PRs 2:54 - Chart: Resale Non-Landed Homes by Foreigners & PRs 3:25 - Understanding Buying Power Triangle 3:35 - Element 1: Affordability 5:12 - Element 2: Sweet Spot Pricing 7:30 - Element 3: Who are the Buyers 8:23 - Every Singaporean's Aspiration 10:20 - Finding the Sweet Spot 11:18 - Conclusion & Outro

In this kickoff episode of The MHP Broker's Tips and Tricks podcast, Maxwell Baker, founder and CEO of The Mobile Home Park Broker, starts breaking down his Sellers Guide chapter by chapter—starting with how to accurately determine the value of your mobile home community. From understanding curb appeal to recognizing the impact of clean financials, Max gives sellers a straight-shooting look at what makes a park sell for top dollar.   As with every Tips and Tricks podcast episode, this one is brought to you by The MHP Broker's proprietary Community Price Maximizer. Use this four-step system to get the highest price possible for your mobile home park or RV community when you sell it through The MHP Broker. Guaranteed. Call Max for details.   Show Highlights This is the first chapter—“What Is Your Park Worth?”—in the Seller's Guide series. Max overviewed and read directly from the book he wrote to help mobile home community sellers recognize and avoid disastrous obstacles, bad decisions and sleazy buyers and brokers. (00:22) Knowing your park's worth is step one. Too low? You leave money on the table. Too high? You get laughed out of the market. Max walks through the key elements that drive real value. (02:35) Collecting cash sounds good now—but it kills you later. Clean books and verifiable income are essential to get financing and top-dollar offers. (05:00) Buyers want low risk. Septic tanks, private utilities, and unclear records increase perceived risk—and drive prices down. (10:13) The more park-owned homes you have, the more work and more risk the buyer sees. Institutional lenders often cap that at 15–25%. (12:27) The gold standard? City-maintained roads, direct-billed utilities, and low-maintenance infrastructure. (13:32) Buyers also evaluate your management systems. Is it turnkey, or a hands-on mess? (14:17) Power Quotes “The more information you have, the higher the price you're going to get.” (05:00) “Money flows where it's easiest.” (10:13) “It's not just about the infrastructure—it's about how the park is run, and how it looks on paper.” (02:35)  

If you want to sell in this new market, you're gonna want to listen to this episode and take notes. I'm going to explain why buyers are different in 2025, how to handle some common objections using emphatic and compassionate techniques that work now, and why you need to shift with a shifting industry.   Time Stamps:   (0:16) Why Buyers Are Different in 2025 (1:43) Our Shifting Industry (4:30) “I Can't Afford It” (6:55) Spousal Objection (9:15) “I Need To Think About It” (14:12) DM Me “Sales” For Resources ----------

AI in sales isn't coming soon. It's already here, and it's quietly separating the salespeople who will thrive from those who won't. On the Sales Gravy Podcast, sales expert and author Victor Antonio shares this quote: "You won't lose your job to AI. You'll lose your job to people who are using AI."  While everyone debates whether artificial intelligence will replace salespeople, the real shift is already happening. What you need to know is which parts of your job will still matter when a machine can do everything else. The Trust Formula Still Requires Humans Most people think AI in sales is about automation. It's not. It's about augmentation. Yes, AI can write your emails. It can analyze your pipeline. It can schedule your meetings and generate your proposals. But it can't build trust with a buyer who's about to make a six-figure decision they're terrified of getting wrong. Trust in selling comes down to three things: Understanding the buyer's point of view Demonstrating real expertise Keeping the buyer's best interest front and center When a buyer is staring at a purchase order that could make or break their business, they don't want a chatbot. They want a human being who says, "I've got you. This is the right move." Simple Sales No Longer Require a Sales Rep  Transactional jobs are disappearing. AI sales agents can already handle simple sales from start to finish. A customer calls about a broken window seal. The AI analyzes the image, checks inventory, schedules a technician, verifies the warranty, and puts the appointment on the calendar. No human required. This isn't science fiction. These systems exist today. AI handles simple tasks easily, but complex sales still require humans. Everything on the straightforward end—cold outreach, basic prospecting, routine follow-ups—is getting automated fast. But complex B2B sales are different. When deals involve multiple stakeholders, custom solutions, and high-stakes decisions, buyers still need salespeople. Humans don't trust machines with decisions that keep them up at night. Your job security lives in complexity. If you're selling simple products with simple processes, you need to start adding value now.  What You Should Be Doing Right Now Most salespeople are waiting while AI transforms the industry. Don't make that mistake. Here's how to start experimenting with AI today: Use ChatGPT, Google's Notebook LM, or your AI of choice to digest long articles and research reports in minutes instead of hours. Feed it information about your products and competitors to create your own custom knowledge base. Role-play objection handling by assigning it different buyer personas and practicing your responses. Ask it to critique your proposals before you send them to catch weak points you might miss. These tools aren't perfect. They'll feel clunky at first. But you're not trying to master AI today. You're building comfort with technology that will be 100 times more powerful in just a few years. The salespeople who are experimenting now will be the ones who know how to use AI when it really matters. The ones waiting for their leaders to force them to adopt AI will scramble to catch up. The Skills That Survive AI So what actually matters when AI handles the busywork? The biggest obstacle in complex sales isn't convincing buyers that your solution works. It's helping them trust their own judgment enough to decide. Buyers freeze not because of your pitch, but because of fear: What if I'm wrong? AI can show data, ROI models, and comparison charts—but building buyer confidence still requires human judgment. That's the skill that matters: Building buyer confidence. You need to get exceptional at reading hesitation—when a buyer goes quiet or starts asking the same questions in different ways. They're not confused about your product. They're uncertain about themselves.

Understanding Massachusetts' New Home Inspection Law: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know By Boston Connect Real Estate | Talk Real Estate Roundtable Massachusetts real estate just saw one of its biggest regulatory changes in years and if you're buying or selling a home, it's important to understand what this new law means for you. In our latest Talk Real Estate Roundtable episode, Sharon McNamara and Melissa Wallace broke down the new Massachusetts Home Inspection Law, part of Chapter 150 of the Acts of 2024, which officially went into effect on October 15, 2025. This legislation aims to create a more “level playing field” for buyers especially after years of intense competition that led many to waive home inspections just to get an offer accepted. But as Sharon and Melissa explained, this new rule brings both clarity and complexity for all parties involved. Why the Law Changed During the competitive markets of 2021–2023, buyers often waived home inspections to make their offers more appealing. It became a common and risky practice, particularly in bidding wars where sellers favored “clean” offers with fewer contingencies. Lawmakers believed this put buyers in a vulnerable position, potentially purchasing homes without a clear understanding of the property's condition. The new legislation now ensures every buyer has the right to a home inspection and that sellers can no longer prioritize offers based on inspection waivers. How the New Law Works Here's the core of the change: Buyers can still choose to waive their home inspection, but the seller will not know that upfront. The law requires both the buyer and the seller to sign a Mandatory Residential Home Inspection Disclosure before the first written contract to purchase is signed. This form acknowledges that: The buyer has the right to conduct a home inspection by a licensed professional. The seller recognizes and agrees to that right. The listing agent must confirm that the seller has been informed of these obligations The purpose is simple transparency and fairness. It prevents sellers from choosing offers solely because a buyer agrees to skip an inspection, while still giving buyers flexibility after their offer is accepted. What “Reasonable” Means in Practice The law uses the word “reasonable” to define the timeframe in which a buyer must complete an inspection, and this is where negotiation comes into play. As Sharon and Melissa discussed, the interpretation of “reasonable” can vary, but in most cases, seven to ten days is considered a fair window for scheduling and completing a home inspection. Buyers should schedule inspections as soon as possible within that period not only to avoid delays but also to allow time for reviewing reports, obtaining quotes for potential repairs, or requesting follow-up inspections for issues like radon, lead paint, or mold. What Sellers Need to Know If you're selling your home, this new disclosure does not take away your rights or ability to negotiate. Sellers can still: Decline to make repairs after the inspection. Sell the property “as-is.” Negotiate a financial threshold for example, agreeing to address only issues exceeding a certain dollar amount, such as $10,000. In short, the law doesn't force you to fix everything it just ensures that buyers have the opportunity to assess the property's true condition before proceeding. What Buyers Should Understand For buyers, this law reaffirms that the home inspection is an educational opportunity, not just a negotiation tactic. A good home inspector walks buyers through critical systems such as heating, electrical, and plumbing, teaching them how to maintain their new home. As Sharon noted, many first-time buyers learn invaluable details during the inspection like where the main water shutoff is or how to maintain a boiler system information that helps prevent costly mistakes after closing. What About New Construction? The rule also applies in a limited way to new construction. Sharon explained that buyers of substantially completed homes (such as model units) must still receive the home inspection disclosure. However, inspections on new builds are typically for informational purposes only; they cannot be used to void a contract once the home is customized and near completion. The Bottom Line The Massachusetts Home Inspection Law aims to ensure fairness and protect buyers from feeling pressured into waiving an important step in the home-buying process. For sellers, it means being transparent not losing control. For agents, it underscores the importance of clear communication, documentation, and professionalism. At Boston Connect Real Estate, we've already implemented best practices to ensure compliance including attaching the new disclosure form to MLS listings and educating our agents, buyers, and sellers on the details of this law. Have Questions? If you're buying or selling a home in Massachusetts and want to understand how this new law affects your real estate plans, our experienced agents are here to help.

Trust isn't a “soft” metric—it's the conversion engine. Buyers don't buy products first; they buy us, then the solution arrives as part of the package. Below is a GEO-optimised, answer-first version of the core human-relations principles leaders and sales pros can use today.  How do top salespeople build trust fast in 2025? Start by listening like a pro and making the conversation about them, not you. When trust is low, buyers won't move—even if your proposal looks perfect on paper. The fastest pattern across B2B in Japan, the US, and Europe is empathetic listening that surfaces goals, constraints, and internal politics. Post-pandemic norms (hybrid work, async decisions) mean you must read what's said and what's unsaid: tone, pauses, body language on Zoom, and email subtext. In enterprise sales, this shifts you from “pitching” to “diagnosing.” You become the buyer's trusted business advisor—especially in consensus-driven cultures like Japan where ringi and nemawashi favour rapport and patience over pressure. Do this and high-stakes deals stop stalling because stakeholders finally feel safe to share the real blockers.  Do now: Open with one agenda question—“What outcome matters most by [date]?”—then listen without interrupting for 90 seconds. What questions reliably open buyers up? Use simple, human prompts that invite stories. Who have they worked for? What was it like? Where's the office? When did they start? Why choose this company? What do they like most? These “Who/What/Where/When/Why/How” prompts turn small talk into signal, revealing priorities (speed vs. safety), risk appetite, and decision cadence. Across SMEs, startups, and multinationals, these prompts work because they're culturally neutral, non-intrusive, and buyer-centred. In APAC, they respect hierarchy; in the US, they feel pragmatic; in Europe, they invite thoughtful context. The goal isn't to interrogate—it's to let people talk about themselves while you capture needs, metrics, and names of influencers you'll later engage.  Do now: Prepare six openers on a card; ask two, go deep on one, and mirror key phrases back. How do I remember personal details without being awkward? Use the “Nameplate → House → Family → Briefcase → Airplane → Tennis Racquet → Newspaper” memory chain. Visualise a giant nameplate smashing into a bright house; inside, a baby with a briefcase pulls out an old plane; its propellers are tennis racquets threaded with rolled newspapers. Each hook cues a safe, human topic: name, home, family, work, travel, hobbies, and industry news. This light mnemonic keeps first meetings natural across cultures. In Japan, it supports relationship-first norms (meishi exchange, hometown ties). In the US/EU, it avoids prying while still finding common ground (sports, routes, recent sector headlines). Use tact and sequence flexibly; skip topics if they feel private. The point is to remember them so follow-ups feel personal, not transactional.  Do now: Before calls, jot the seven cues; after calls, log one fact per cue in your CRM. What if I don't know the buyer's interests yet? Keep asking—then mirror their language and frame benefits in their terms. Early on, many buyers withhold interests until they decide you're trustworthy. That's normal. Persist with respectful questions, then translate features into “so-whats” they already value: uptime for CTOs, cycle-time for COOs, compliance for CFOs, psychological safety for HR. As of 2025, complex deals involve multi-threading (RevOps, Legal, IT, Security). Tailor each touch: startup CTOs want velocity and unit economics; enterprise VPs want risk mitigation and stakeholder alignment; Japanese heads of division may prioritise harmony and precedent. The win is relevance—your proposal reads like their strategy memo, not your brochure.  Do now: After each meeting, write one line: “They care most about ___ because ___.” Lead with that next time. How do I make someone feel important—without manipulation? Spot real wins and praise them sincerely and specifically. Most professionals get little recognition. When you catch people doing something right—clear brief, crisp data, fast feedback—name it. Never over-flatter; buyers detect tactics instantly. The goal is dignity, not drama. Practical example: “Your timeline reduced rework across Legal and IT—that saved us both weeks.” In Japan, sincere appreciation that acknowledges team effort (not just the individual) lands better; in the US, direct credit energises champions. Across sectors (SaaS, manufacturing, services), this fosters reciprocity and deepens trust far faster than discounts ever can.  Do now: In your next email, add one honest, specific thank-you sentence linked to a business outcome. What should leaders systemise so this sticks? Bake these principles into playbooks, onboarding, and CRM hygiene. Codify the seven memory cues, the open-question matrix, and a “buyer interest” field in CRM. Coach for silence (count to three before replying). Review call snippets for interrupt rate and question balance. Reward teams for discovery quality, not just revenue. Executives at firms from startups to conglomerates can run fortnightly “deal trust reviews”: is the sponsor heard, interests mapped, and recognition given? In Japan, align with nemawashi—map stakeholders and pre-wire decisions. In the US/EU, pressure-test value hypotheses with RevOps and Finance. Consistency beats charisma.  Do now: Add three fields to your CRM today—Interests, Stakeholders, Recognition Given—and make them required. Conclusion When you listen deeply, speak in the buyer's interests, and recognise people sincerely, you stop selling and start being chosen. Make this your firm's operating system and watch cycle times shorten and referrals grow.  FAQs Isn't this just “be nice” advice? No—these behaviours reduce friction, surface risks early, and accelerate consensus, which shortens sales cycles.  Do these tips work in Japan? Yes—especially the memory chain and sincere group-focused recognition, which fit relationship-first norms.  How do I measure progress? Track interrupt rate, number of stakeholder interests captured, and instances of specific recognition logged in CRM. Next Steps Add the seven-cue mnemonic and open-question set to your onboarding. Require “Interests” and “Recognition Given” fields in every opportunity. Coach teams to wait three beats before replying on calls.

Renowned Business Buyer Advocate and M&A expert John Martinka reveals the essential ingredients for building—and selling—a business that can flourish independently of its founder. Drawing on decades of experience and his book Exit with Style, Grace and More Money, John discusses the dangers of owner dependency, the value of strategic delegation, and the process of transforming overwhelmed owners into visionary leaders. Through vivid stories and actionable steps, he shows how creating robust management teams and sound systems not only increases your company's value but also prepares it for a seamless, rewarding exit. John dives deep into real-world challenges and misconceptions around selling a business, from red flags that scare off buyers to the critical role of motivation, relationships, and trust in getting deals done. Instead of quick fixes, he champions long-term planning and education—empowering entrepreneurs to build companies that are not just profitable, but sustainable and ready to thrive long after their departure. Whether you're years away from selling or want to future-proof your business now, John's advice ensures you're positioned for success when the time comes to exit with style. Quotes: “The biggest trap that reduces value or turns a buyer off is owner dependency... Buyers want a management team that can drive new initiatives and get things done the right way.”“If you want your business to be truly valuable, start building a team that can thrive without you.”“Don't expect the process to go smoothly. Selling your business is like a financial colonoscopy—buyers want to look everywhere.” Resources: Connect with John Martinka on LinkedIn Watch John Martinka's videos on YouTube Exit with Style, Grace & More Money®

Think you need 20% down to buy a home? Think again. In Step 5 of the 10-Step How to Buy a Home System, David Sidoni breaks down how much you really need to save — and how to start now, even if you're juggling debt.Saving for a home is the step that scares most renters away from ever getting started. In this episode, David busts the biggest myth in homebuying — that you need a massive 20% down payment — and replaces it with a realistic, data-backed plan to get you there faster.You'll learn the simple formula to estimate your goal: 8% of your home's price (5% down + 3% closing costs). That's the true, conservative number for most first-time buyers — and for many, it can be even less.David walks through how real buyers used creative strategies and pro guidance to shrink their out-of-pocket costs to as little as 1–5%. From zero-down loans to grants and seller credits, this episode shows how working with a Unicorn Team early opens doors you didn't know existed.You'll also hear real-world examples like Nick (Episode 399), who expected to need tens of thousands for closing — but ended up bringing only $4,000 to the table and even got money back.The key message: Don't wait until you think you've saved “enough.” Waiting costs you time, opportunity, and money. Learn how to plan smart, start early, and move forward with confidence.“If you think you need 20% down, you're already behind the truth. Most first-time buyers use 3.5% or 5%, and some even less. Waiting to ‘save enough' could cost you thousands.”HighlightsMyth Busted: Only 8–9% down is typical for first-time buyers — not 20%.Your Real Goal: Start with the 8% formula (5% down + 3% closing costs).Example: $400,000 home = $32,000 total savings target.Start Early: Work with a Unicorn Team before you hit your goal — they'll help you find options that reduce how much you need.Buyer Story: Nick (Ep. 399) bought with just $4K out-of-pocket — and got a refund check.Options That Work: 3.5% FHA loans, down payment assistance, seller credits, and even 0% down programs.Emotional Truth: Stop assuming homeownership is out of reach. Education and strategy make it possible sooner than you think.Referenced Episodes388 – The Playbook Vol. 1: The Rent Replacement Strategy389 – The Playbook Vol. 2: Your Last Lease Ever348 – How Much Do You Really Need for Closing Day?399 – The Real Value of Buying: What Nick Gained Beyond a Mortgage380 – This Should Have Been Impossible – But Rosie Actually Did It (Interview)189 – VA Loans: Bad for Buyers or a Christmas Miracle?358 – Interview: How to Buy a Duplex at 22 with $12K321 – Buying in a High-Cost Area – Long Island, NY (Interview)121 – When to Back Out of the Deal – Interview with a First-Time Buyer113 – Interview with a Single Female First-Time Home Buyer in 202275 – Inspection Red Flags, New Tips for 2022 Bidding Wars, and To Wait or Not to Wait?58 – How to Use Your Retirement Savings to Buy Your First Home the Safe Way22 – How to Financially Prepare to Buy Your First Home – Part IV273 – Buying a Home in 11 Days!

Buyers beware: This Halloween, higher prices are lurking on certain items. From costumes to candy, the average household is expected to spend $300 on the holiday. CBS News MoneyWatch correspondent Kelly O'Grady reports. Authorities quickly found a suspect when a well-known Washington, D.C., photographer was killed two years ago. Brandon Holbrook was convicted of murdering Joe Shymanski. Holbrook used to be the boyfriend of Shymanski's ex-wife, Heather. "48 Hours" contributor Nikki Battiste, who grew up with Heather, sat down for an exclusive interview with her. Heather denies any involvement in the murder. In this week's "Kindness 101," Steve Hartman and his kids share a lesson on mindfulness through the story of two dogs in Maine who find joy in the simplest things especially when things fall. Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss his updated book "Just Visiting This Planet," which tackles more than 200 questions about science and the universe — including why the sky is blue.

There are a lot of worries in B2B right now. AI, tight budgets, shifting search. The one that should sit near the top? Disconnected campaigns. Scattered themes, mixed messages, disconnected plays. Buyers can't follow the story and impact fades fast. Integrated campaigns fix that. In this episode, Drew brings together Kelly Hopping (Demandbase), Scott Morris (Sprout Social), and Marni Carmichael (ImageSource) to share how they make integration work at their companies. You'll hear how one story aligns teams, builds momentum over quarters, and stays on track with shared goals and tight handoffs. By the end, you'll come away with different ways to align message, motion, and measurement behind one story. In this episode: Kelly shares how company and pipeline goals set the theme, channels, partner plays, and internal enablement. Scott explains how a hub-and-spoke campaign model unites brand and demand, and how quarterly launches turn features into a full-funnel motion. Marni shares how tight SDR handoffs, quick follow ups, and clear SLAs keep campaigns from stalling in the field. Plus: How to set one message that adapts by persona without splintering the story How to plan one quarter ahead so execution and enablement stay in sync What to measure from awareness through to deal conversion When to bring partners and customers into the narrative to lift conversion It's time to align every effort into connected campaigns that build momentum.
