    The crew are tramping aimlessly across the blistering and occasionally freezing surface of Planet KTAALNS (Kill Them All And Leave No Survivors, otherwise known as "Bob") and things are pretty grim. Like, not even Brothers Grimm, more Quintuplets Grimm, plus a few singles and a couple sets of Twins Grimm. Just very very grim. I mean, they might survive, but even if they do, they're going to smell really bad, and does anyone need that right now?

    What's the best way to outsell a direct competitor without putting them down?In this episode, Scott Joseph shares a powerful two-question technique for positioning yourself above direct competitors—without ever going negative. He explains how these questions shift the sales conversation by revealing what matters most to your prospects and where your competitors fall short. Join Scott as he explores: (2:56) The Story Behind the Two-Question Technique* The real power comes from positioning—not objection handling.* Sales success comes from asking the right questions, not being pushy.(6:55) The First Question* Ask: “What are the one or two things that have kept you [i.e. the prospect] loyal to them [i.e. your competitor]?"(7:40) The Second Question * Ask: “If there were one or two things they [i.e. your competitor] could improve on, what would they be?”* Let the prospect feel the pain of staying with their current provider.(10:28) Test Closing * Use test closes to reinforce relevance throughout the pitch.The first three people who go to https://MePlusUltra.com/hotseat will get free access to one of our Me Plus Ultra virtual mastermind hot seats.BUSINESS, BOURBON & CIGARSBe sure to subscribe so you don't miss any episodes. * Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/3SN2fHn * Spotify: https://spoti.fi/49EwtTo * YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@MePlusUltraNetwork/ Business, Bourbon & Cigars is the preeminent resource for ambitious leaders who want a backstage pass to the top.

    In late August 1979, the FBI's Brooklyn-Queens Metropolitan Resident Agency (the BQ) received a significant tip from a top-echelon informant within the Genovese crime family. This informant, known as "Bob," reported that Paul Castellano, head of the Gambino crime family, had mentioned an upcoming major meeting at Gurney's Inn in Montauk, New York. The anticipated attendees included prominent figures such as Frank "Funzi" Tieri of the Genovese family, Carmine "The Snake" Persico of the Colombo family, and Tampa's organized crime leader, Santo Trafficante Jr. Recognizing the potential significance of this gathering—the most consequential since the 1957 Apalachin summit—the FBI swiftly mobilized. Agents, including undercover operatives, were dispatched to Gurney's Inn, posing as tourists to monitor arrivals and activities. Specialized personnel were prepared to install surveillance equipment to capture conversations during the meeting. Despite the extensive preparations, the anticipated meeting never occurred. The reasons remain uncertain; possibilities include the informant providing inaccurate information, the mobsters altering their plans, or suspicions about increased surveillance leading to a change in venue. This outcome was reminiscent of the 1957 Apalachin meeting, where law enforcement's unexpected presence led to the mobsters' dispersal. While the immediate operation at Gurney's Inn did not yield the expected results, it underscored the FBI's evolving strategies in combating organized crime. The bureau's readiness to deploy advanced surveillance techniques and coordinate large-scale operations marked a shift towards more proactive and sophisticated approaches. This evolution contributed to significant successes in subsequent years, including the Mafia Commission Trial of 1986 and the conviction of John Gotti in 1992. This episode about the FBI's almost-successful attempt to bug a major mob meeting at Gurney's Inn illustrates the challenges law enforcement faced in infiltrating organized crime and highlights the pivotal role such operations played in modernizing the FBI's methodologies. Joining us in this episode, we have: Daniel Edward Rosen, a staff reporter from the New York Sun, whose work has appeared in Esquire, the New York Observer, City Journal, New York Magazine, and the New York Times. See his original article: https://www.nysun.com/article/how-the-fbis-mad-dash-to-wiretap-the-mob-at-a-montauk-hotel-nearly-50-years-ago-helped-modernize-todays-agencyFrank DiMatteo joins us to provide color commentary based upon his experiences growing up embedded in one of the most infamous mob crews in the history of the American Cosa Nostra. Frank is the son of Ricky DiMatteo, a member of the legendary Gallo Crew of the Colombo Crime Family in New York City. He is also an author of several books in his own right including Growing Up Mafia, Mafia Hit Man, Lord High Executioner, The Cigar, Carmine the Snake, Red Hook, as well as the publisher of Mob Candy.

    The cheap lakeside fixer-upper seemed like a fresh start—until a cigar-reeking figure in a sweat-stained tank top stalked its halls. Doors slam, keys vanish, and the “Cigar Man” glares from the porch before dissolving into smoke. Local lore pins him as the home's former owner: an abusive adulterer whose furious wife ended his life with a pistol. Two decades on, he still prowls the property, his rage undimmed and his presence bleeding into the family's daily routine.

    Welcome to Sales & Cigars, the sales podcast, where the only smoke we blow is from cigars. In this episode, host Walter Crosby is joined by Mark Cox, founder of In the Funnel Sales Coaching, to discuss his journey from leading sales organizations in large tech and outsourcing companies to becoming a consultant and entrepreneur. Mark shares how, after stepping away from a high-travel role, he stumbled into consulting through personal connections and quickly realized he preferred working with midsize businesses over large corporations. This epiphany led to the launch of In the Funnel, where he has since helped over a hundred companies build sales playbooks and trained thousands of sales professionals. Mark emphasizes the entrepreneurial energy and focus on growth that characterizes midsize companies, as well as his own desire for autonomy and a more meaningful, hands-on impact.   Mark also discusses the inspiration behind his book, Learn to Love Selling: The Universal B2B Sales Playbook, which offers a practical framework for converting business capabilities into revenue. He explains how the book is structured to serve both frontline salespeople and sales leaders, with clear steps including defining a value proposition, prioritizing market segments, generating demand, and executing an effective sales process. Although the content had been part of his training for years, the book took nearly three years to complete due to the demands of consulting work and the challenges of writing. He also underscores the importance of CEOs staying involved in sales strategy, warning against the common mistake of delegating it entirely without understanding its foundational role in scaling a business.   Walter and Mark emphasize the critical importance of CEOs maintaining a strong connection to the sales process—not necessarily by making cold calls themselves, but by regularly engaging with their sales team and understanding what's resonating with customers. Mark explains that being close to sales helps CEOs make better hiring decisions, especially when choosing a sales leader, and also provides a clearer picture of customer needs and market trends. Traveling with sales reps or participating in client meetings allows CEOs to gain firsthand insight into what's happening on the front lines, which in turn strengthens the company's ability to craft a compelling and competitive value proposition. He stresses that expecting a new salesperson to define this value proposition is unrealistic—it must come from leadership.   Mark and Walter highlights how many founders and CEOs are “unconsciously competent” in sales, having acquired clients and resolved issues themselves in the early stages of their business. Because of this, they possess invaluable insight that can elevate the sales team if shared effectively. When CEOs engage with clients, they often initiate high-level strategic conversations rather than sales pitches. This approach demonstrates genuine interest and sets an example for the sales team. Such intentional customer engagement, formalized as part of executive priorities, helps ensure the business remains aligned with its clients' evolving needs. Links:  Learn more about Mark Cox.
