Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Dave.In this episode, Nancy and Dave discuss the following:The importance of sales processesImportance of sales processes: big picture vs. day-to-dayStrategies to make prospects comfortable: first impressions, appropriate dressing, sharing personal details, effective questioningInvesting in sales managers: their impact on salespeople's behaviorsVirtual selling: increased need for thorough preparationUse of "snippets" in sales conversations and their value in everyday life Key Takeaways: Sharing something personal and unique about yourself breaks the barriers between you and the customer.The depth and detail of your question have a lot to do with how you make people comfortable with you.The sales managers are the in-between step between management and salespeople.Everybody can sell better if they choose to. They can."In that book, we talk about two different levels of sales process. The big-picture sales process is what a sales organization and the salesperson do over time. And then what I call the day-to-day or the nitty-gritty sales process is what a salesperson does with a customer or a prospect. […] Let me talk about the nitty-gritty sales process and how it relates to everyday activity. So, the first step in the prospect is to engage with the right people. And that can trump everything else. If you spend your time with the wrong people, no matter how well you do everything else, it's a waste of time. So, step one is to engage with the right people. Step two is to make them comfortable with you. Because if they're uncomfortable with you, they won't react transparently and honestly. Step three: find out what they want. And again, there's a whole body of content surrounding each of these. I mean, a couple of days' training for each of these. The next step is to show them what you have given them and what they want. And again, that applies to anything, anywhere, anytime. That's why it's the title of the book. Then, you agree on the next step. And again, each one of these can be at least a couple of training days. At that point, you follow up because the decision is typically made in the business-to-business world. The decision to buy is typically made when you're not there. So, you follow up and leverage satisfaction with this, which salespeople often neglect to do but to leverage satisfaction into additional internal or external opportunities. And then you know what? You're back where you started from. So that's the process. That's the process that an individual salesperson uses to relate and sell anybody, anything. You have to do all those things regardless." – DAVE"There's a whole lot of things, like number one, that is so often overlooked, and that is to make an excellent first impression—to look like you, to sound like someone that people can talk to and relate to. So that's step one. And then there are so many things, like, for example, how you dress. I have a rule—you should dress like your customer, only a little better. So, if you're a man wearing a suit and tie, calling on farmers, I mean, your suit and tie is separating you from connecting with that farmer, from making that customer comfortable with you. So, you dress like the customer, only a little bit better. And that's the rule for everybody. And then, there's sharing. I like to share something personal. It forces the customer to see you as a human being, not just a role player. You're not just a salesperson; you're a real person.- DAVE"It's here to stay, and it's growing, and it has, and it required. It requires not necessarily something new, but the salespeople who are selling virtually have to be much better. For example, you cannot make an appointment to talk with somebody on a Zoom call and not be thoroughly prepared. You know, like so, the pressure to be thoroughly prepared so you're not wasting time looking foolish on a Zoom call is far greater than if you stop by. You're just going to stop by and see them, and sometimes you're not fully prepared, but you cannot do that on a Zoom call. Now, it's increased by a multiple. So, number one, they must be far more prepared. You know, with agendas and objectives of every sales call. That's always been a best practice, but many have ignored it. You can't ignore that anymore. And so, you know, that's a big one. And then there are lots of things that kind of fall underneath that, things that you need to do when you're selling virtually that you don't necessarily need to pay that much attention to when you're selling live." – DAVEConnect with Dave Kahle:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/davekahleWebsite: https://www.davekahle.com/Housing Lessons: www.thesalesresourcecenter.comTry Our Proven, 3-Step System, Guaranteeing Accountability and Transparency that Drives RESULTS by clicking on this link: https://oneofakindsales.com/call-center-in-a-box/  Connect with Nancy Calabrese: Twitter:https://twitter.com/oneofakindsalesFacebook:https://www.facebook.com/One-Of-A-Kind-Sales-304978633264832/Website:https://oneofakindsales.comPhone: 908-879-2911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncalabrese/Email: leads@oneofakindsales.com

In Part 1 of the podcast we discuss the 303 Creative Victory, with special guest Jake Warner, senior counsel from Alliance Defending Freedom, who was in on the 303 Creative pleadings and was in the U.S. Supreme Court during the oral arguments--what it means, and whether this sets a large enough precedent to protect all other kinds of Christian businesses as well.  In Part 2 the guys talk in depth about The Sound of Freedom Movie, whose success is exploding with now over $85 million taken in since its recent release on July 4th.  It was the #2 movie in America this last weekend, beaten only by the latest Tom Cruise Mission Impossible movie, and will most likely cross $100 million this weekend.  Why is this movie doing so well?  Why is the mainstream media hating on it so much?  What does it say about today's media and Progressive Left that they hate on a movie that exposes child sex trafficking?  What about claims that it's just a "Right-Wing, Q-Anon conspiracy" movie?  Is this a spiritual battle?

The Co-Founder and CEO of Impact Foundation, Jeff Johns, brings extensive experience and insight in business development and fundraising to the leadership team. Before launching Impact Foundation, Jeff spent 12 years at the National Christian Foundation (NCF), concentrating on network expansion. His affiliate team grew annual charitable contributions from $40 million to more than $850 million and raised more than $4 billion for Kingdom impact and positive change. Co-Founder and CIO/General Counsel Aimee Minnich serves as Chief Impact Officer and General Counsel of Impact Foundation. Before founding Impact Foundation, she served as President and General Counsel for the National Christian Foundation, Heartland, where she designed and implemented the foundation's Missional Investing Program to allow the investment of donor-advised funds in social impact companies.   Aimee and Jeff join me on The Wow Factor to discuss how each of their backgrounds gave them a front-row seat to hard work in business and the power of generosity, and why they both came to be entrepreneurial in nature. The pair share how they met and when and why they were drawn together to found Impact Foundation. We also dive into the power of prayer as a means to connect with each other, with God, and a way of finding a quiet moment to really find your purpose.   “Whether you have a lot of money or a little bit of money, greed is awful, and it ruins relationships, and it ruins our heart … but generosity is one of these tools that God uses to enliven us to bring us back to him, to bring us closer together.” - Aimee Minnich   “People need Jesus and a good job. It's not that complicated — and the good jobs part has to come through a business that's funded by like-minded people with capital that can advance their cause.” - Aimee Minnich   “Every company has an agenda, and that agenda is one that should align with your passions and your beliefs and the good you want to see done in the world.” - Jeff Johns    This Week on The Wow Factor: How Aimee got started with NCF Heartland after graduating as a lawyer What Jeff's travels taught him about how important it is to get aligned with your passion The importance of connecting authentically with people in your network How they got together to found Impact Foundation and why impact investing is so essential The practical process of starting a charitable foundation and some of the bumps along the road Why prayer inspires prayer and why that is so important as you grow through life and business The culture at Impact Foundation and why the team enjoys the practice of coming before the Lord, to worship Him, to be in fellowship with Him, to be quiet, and to ask for His help Whether Jeff and Aimee took the time when they were planning the foundation to decide how they would work through any disagreements that arose They dive into the mission and vision of impact Foundation   Jeff Johns' Words of Wisdom: Align with what you're passionate about, and you get so much more excited about being involved in helping other people and being generous with your time and wisdom.   Aimee Minnich's Words of Wisdom: If you want to take the next step into philanthropy, look around and do what's right in front of you. There's probably something right in your midst that you can do in the impact investing space. It might be as simple as serving your employees on a deeper level or getting involved in your local community.   Connect with Jeff Johns and Aimee Minnich: Impact Foundation Website   Connect with The WOW Factor: I Like Giving: The Transforming Power of a Generous Life by Brad Formsma Words of Wisdom Website Brad Formsma on LinkedIn Brad Formsma on Instagram Brad Formsma on Facebook Brad Formsma on Twitter

Nike just reported on its 2020 initiatives and shared its five-year plan to expand its impact on the world. The company has set the standard for corporate community responsibility that puts Christian businesses to shame. In so doing, Nike is setting a new bar for what it means to be a socially responsible company in today’s society. This should be a wake-up call for Christian businesses. It is time for us not only to live out our faith but also show others who Jesus really is by intentionally planning to impact the communities we serve.

Maybe you are a business owner and would like to comment on this topic. Do you as an owner feel supported by the Christian community?

So we've looked at why evangelicals might consider a financial boycott of their church (Part 1) along with certain 'Christian' media companies and schools (Part 2). In the conclusion of this series, we turn our attention to two more evangelical industries that you might want to take a second look at when it comes to doling out your dollars.CHRISTIAN BUSINESSES (other than media)You've got to love the not-so-secretive code sign: the Jesus fish! Ah yes, just subtlety slap that baby on your company truck, business card, or website, and your prospective evangelical customer is sure to get the message. "Have us mow your lawn, do that kitchen remodel, or cater that wedding (so long as your not gay!), and you can be sure that your money isn't going to support some pagan business that is probably operating unethically because the owner doesn't have Jesus in his or her heart." But don't make the mistake of assuming that the sell of religiously superior ethics is the only thing in mind when it comes to most evangelical leaders in the market place. No, there is a far greater cause that has been cemented into the psyche of many Christian business men and women. Make sure you check out a previous article I wrote that looks at the evangelical idol of power. The piece includes an especially revealing video made to inspire Christians to "take back" the seven mountains of culture. In it, there is a particular emphasis on Christians reclaiming leadership in the domain of business so as to effectively resource the effort to return America to its Christian heritage. Whether stated explicitly or not, this is one of the chief visions fueling this call to join the cadre of Christian capitalists, perhaps only eclipsed by stories of saving lost souls through a God-style economy. You can find 'fellowship' in this effort through one of any number of Christian business associations, like The Christian Business Network, Christian Business Fellowship, or Convene. The fact that the old religious right's culture war narrative is lurking not to far below the surface of these networks of success-hungry crusaders is made pretty obvious when the home page of the Northern Californian Christian Business Directory features a video promoting the Genesis Apologetics App. This mobile tool will equip your good Christian teens to pretend like they know what they are talking about in the fight against public school teachers and their evil doctrine of evolution. But let's get back to ethics, where I am sure that the Bible has something to say about things like fair wages (Jeremiah 22:13 and James 5:4) or that Jesus taught his disciples to not embrace violence (Matthew 5:38-45). Among a list of household name companies that are owned by the devout, most of them evangelical Christians, there are some interesting practices that makes you wonder if the Scriptures are their 'final rule for faith and practice'.Like Chick-Fil-A Chairman and CEO, Dan Cathy, who has a net worth of 3.8 billion dollars. And yet according to Glassdoor, his average entry level employee makes eight to nine dollars an hour and a store general manager pulls in just $49,500 annually! That's paycheck to paycheck and public benefits territory.Or take the maker of rifle scopes, Trijicon, whose revenue, by the way, comes in part from supplying the U.S. military. It made some news awhile back when it came out that Bible verses were subtly inscribed on their products. Yes, now you can "love your enemies" by blowing a whole in their head through the sight of your high-quality, Scripture-emblazoned Trijicon scope.These, and a myriad of other hypocrisy ridden companies that are supposed to be built on the bedrock principles of God's Word, are in my opinion not worthy of your business.CHRISTIAN HUMANITARIAN ORGANIZATIONSLets turn to safer territory, literally. What about Evangelical humanitarian organizations who are often seeking to undue the effects of greed and war? As most of you are aware, I previously worked for World Relief, an organization that serves as the humanitarian arm of the National Association of Evangelicals. They, along with many other evangelical relief and development organizations, are chalked full of amazingly compassionate and creative people who are daily evidencing a true love of neighbors. But that doesn't mean these institutions are not infected with the idols of evangelicalism and therefore in need of substantial reform. And as we said in part one, economic withdrawal is the most effective way to achieve this kind of change. So I suggest that evangelical Christians who are grieved by the same things that I am may want to reconsider their generous contributions to some of these organizations.I'll give two examples of grievous practices that warrant a retraction of financial support.Proselytizing: Among many if not all of these organizations is some level of exploitation of uniquely vulnerable people for the purpose of winning converts. This is something I previously covered in a piece entitled Evangelical Ambulance Chasing.Intolerant Hiring Practices: It was indeed a sad day when one of the largest global evangelical humanitarian organizations, World Vision, folded under the threat of economic withdrawal by the religious right and reversed what would have been a morally courageous decision to openly hire members of the LGBTQ community. Or in my time at World Relief, I found it to be a violation of the Character of Christ and an embrace of the paranoia of conservative evangelicals to, as a matter of policy, deny Muslims the opportunity to work with the organization even though it was tasked with serving predominantly Muslim refugees. I also feel that while currently legally allowable, this is a violation of the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment of the U.S. Constitution. You can find more of my thoughts on this in the two-part series on The Public Subsidization of Religion.As you consider supporting humanitarian organizations with an evangelical affiliation, you have every right to investigate whether these and other policies and practices born of ignorance or bigotry are present before you write that next check. final thoughtAs we conclude, remember that just because you have chosen to not personally support a local, national, or international evangelical non-profit, whether humanitarian or educational, you may be indirectly resourcing them through your church. So make sure your congregation has thoroughly vetted it's ministry partners. You may find that you are indirectly resourcing an organization that is violating values that are important to you. For example, if you are here in Sacramento you may be attending one of the over one-hundred churches that financially support William Jessup University, which as we discussed previously is a school whose leadership is blatantly embracing the idols of power and superiority. If that is the case, it's yet another reason to reduce or withhold your tithe.In the end, the congregation, like Congress, holds the 'power of the purse'. Individually and collectively, exercise your rights and responsibilities as true principled disciples. Give only to that in which you truly believe.

We completed a survey to find out what you wanted to learn about next year on the podcast and one of our beautiful ladies sent in a great question that we wanted to answer for you in this podcast.It seems that the secular world has a generalised perception that Christian organisations/ministries should not be making profit. In practical terms, marketing communication efforts (outreach initiatives) and investments may turn off seekers with the perception.How do we balance this perception with being comfortable making profit and reaping monetary rewards?We hope you enjoy this podcast and here are some of SJ's notes to answer this question.Yes, there is that perception out there, let's look at why…Ministries have gone into countries and done things for free for peopleYou have big charities like the Red Cross who provide help for freeChurches also offer to help people for freePeople have been trained because of this that all Christian organisations do things for free and now expect it.Let me reassure you that doesn't have to be the case.I've personally chosen CWIB to be a business and not a charity or not for profit so we can show by example that it's ok to be a Christian organisation and make a profit and what good we can do with being a profitable business.We want to be an example for Christian women to go out there and make money and it's ok. Jesus leads by example and we want to do that too.I've personally faced a lot of criticism for charging for our membership. People have asked why it isn't for free and it's because of a few reasons.People have been trained to not value things that are for free. They only value stuff they pay for.It's allowed us to grow. When I doubled the monthly membership it was through faith and being obedient to God's instruction. People baulked at me when I did it. But I was obedient to God and it was a huge step in faith. When I did it and followed God's instructions we had one of our biggest intakes! That now leads to us being able to put more money into our marketing and reaching more people, awesome!We're able to have a blessing fund, where we can bless people out on the front line or people who are doing it hard. A portion of our memberships goes to charities, Kiva and if we feel led to bless someone.This is the most important one! 1 Timothy 5:8 8 Anyone who does not provide for their relatives, and especially for their own household, has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever.I encourage you ladies, to keep going and keep up you're great work! You're doing a fantastic job!So what's happened for us whenever we've been obedient to GodWe've made more profitWe've grownWe're able to keep growingThe post #33 Is It Ok For Christian Businesses To Make A Profit? appeared first on Christian Women in Business.
