Chris Voss says that's backwards. Yes, at best, is just hope. Most of the time it's fake. A way to end an uncomfortable conversation and get you off the phone. No is different. No means someone finally feels safe enough to tell you the truth. That's why the best negotiators engineer no on purpose. Voss breaks down the exact phrasing top closers use to get people saying it. One "no" opens more doors than a room full of yeses ever could. Sign up for the Greatness newsletter: http://www.greatness.com/newsletter Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if one of the biggest factors impacting your business isn't your marketing, your scripts, or your systems—but your nervous system? In this powerful conversation, Karen sits down with psychologist, trauma specialist and neuroscientist Dr. Monique Thompson to explore how stress, anxiety and an overwhelmed nervous system quietly shape the way we lead, communicate, make decisions and show up for our clients. Drawing from more than 25 years of clinical experience, Dr. Monique shares practical, science-backed tools that can help you regulate your nervous system in just minutes—without expensive programs, complicated routines or adding more to your already full plate. Together, they discuss: Why women often carry stress differently—and what to do about it The surprising connection between your nervous system and your business performance How social media and constant input teach us to disconnect from ourselves A simple five-minute practice that can help you quiet your mind and access your own inner wisdom Why self-acceptance isn't self-excusal—and how embracing who you are changes everything How to "outnumber the not helpful" by building healthier support systems Why the most important tool you'll ever need is one you've had your entire life: yourself Whether you're feeling burned out, anxious, overwhelmed, or simply ready to lead your business from a healthier place, this conversation offers practical hope and simple tools you can begin using today. This isn't just a conversation about mental health. It's a conversation about becoming the kind of leader—and woman—you were created to be.   Click subscribe to be notified every Wednesday when our latest episode is released, and be sure to check out our group on Facebook. https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringwomeninrealestate We are 41,000 members strong and we want you to join us!

You're right on both counts. The research said 100-200 words for Apple/Spotify but that's the minimum floor, not the target. Looking back at the FM Hero episode, the show notes were substantially longer and more detailed. Let me rewrite:Lisa Forrest of Contractor Commerce joins Sam Wakefield to break down why home service contractors who show pricing online are closing more deals, winning better clients, and building websites that actually work for them around the clock.Lisa spent five years as a territory manager at Lennox before joining Contractor Commerce, where she has spent four years watching contractors transform their online presence into a legitimate revenue engine. The data is no longer supposition. It is proven. 70% of homeowners prefer a contractor who shows pricing online. Only 31% of contractors are doing it. The gap between those two numbers is where your competitors are winning business that should be yours.This conversation covers HVAC, plumbing, electrical, garage doors, roofing, windows, pools, and more. If you own or run a home services company, this one is worth your full attention.In this episode:Why showing prices online raises your close rate instead of killing itHow 45% of homeowners who get an online estimate convert to an in-home appointmentWhy contractor commerce leads close at 65% and higherHow to use your website to capture intent-ready buyers during the off seasonThe difference between transactional and relational selling in home servicesHow contractors are buying their commercial clients subscriptions to lock in service agreementsGood, better, best online pricing and how to present it without killing the conversationVersion 3: how homeowners can now go from first click to deposit without a single phone callWhy your website must be mobile optimized or you are already losing dealsThe "and not or" mindset around online leads versus traditional lead sourcesHow to turn online pricing from a cost on your website into a profit centerWhy the home services buyer has changed since the pandemic and what to do about itThe intent data opportunity most contractors are completely ignoringWhat happened when a 50-year-old Charlotte HVAC company started using Contractor Commerce and got into doors they had never been in beforeWhy authenticity and relational selling are the foundation of every close, online or in personConnect with Lisa Forrest:Website: https://www.contractorcommerce.comEmail: lforrest@contractorcommerce.comLinkedIn: Lisa ForrestConnect with Sam Wakefield:Website: https://www.closeitnow.netEmail: sam@closeitnow.netInstagram: @therealcloseitnowFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/samuel.l.wakefieldLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/closeitnow/Join the Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/closeitnowSummer Sales Surge 2026:Four-series live virtual training, July through October.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Are you treating your podcast as one more thing on an already impossible schedule? Are you running a sales process that creates friction at every step when the alternative has been sitting right in front of you? Today's featured guest has been podcasting for over 11 years and nearly 1,800 episodes. In this conversation, he'll make the case that a podcast, run correctly, removes the sales cycle almost entirely. He also has a lot to say about what it took to step back from working 100-hour weeks in an entertainment agency and into a business that earns a healthy six-figure income on 15 hours a week. Doug Sandler is the founder of Turnkey Podcast Productions, a podcast production agency, and the host of The Nice Guys on Business, a show he has been running for over 11 years and nearly 1,800 episodes with more than 6 million downloads. Before podcasting, Doug spent 30 years as a Bar Mitzvah MC and entertainment agency owner, running an operation that handled between 700 and 900 events per year. He also wrote the book Nice Guys Finish First, which became the original vehicle for the podcast. Nowadays, he works roughly 15 hours a week and spends the rest of his time restoring classic cars and trucks. In this episode, we'll discuss: A podcast as a hub of the business The decision to stop being the founder who works 80-hour weeks Removing the friction from the sale Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources E2M Solutions: Today's episode of the Smart Agency Masterclass is sponsored by E2M Solutions, a web design and development agency that has provided white-label services for the past 10 years to agencies all over the world.

The Podcast as a Sales Tool, Not a Content Schedule Agency owners who consider starting a podcast tend to frame it as a content commitment: another thing to produce, another distribution channel to manage, another task to fall behind on. Doug's framing is different. He calls the podcast the hub of the business, not a spoke. Marketing, lead generation, business development, sales, and relationship building are all running through the same conversation. Instead of adding to those functions, the podcast replaces most of the friction those functions create. The mechanics of how he uses it to sell without selling are worth understanding in detail. Doug does not cold pitch podcast production services. He reaches out to a prospect, says he hosts a show and likes their message, and asks if they would come on. The answer is nearly always yes. The interview becomes a 30 to 45 minute relationship-building session. By the end of it, he knows whether they are a fit, they know who he is and what he does, and the question "have you ever considered podcasting as a marketing tool?" lands entirely differently than it would in a cold email. The wall that normally exists between a prospect and a vendor does not go up because the conversation never started as a sales call. What 15 Hours a Week Actually Requires Doug works 15 hours a week and earns a healthy six-figure income. That sentence tends to provoke two reactions: skepticism and envy. The skepticism usually comes from founders who have not yet identified what their zone of genius actually is, or who have identified it but have not yet hired out everything around it. Doug is direct about what made the shift possible: he stopped doing anything that did not require his specific capability and hired for everything else, including before he could comfortably afford it. The operations manager hire at Turnkey came when it was just Doug and one other person. They were paying her $40,000 a year before either founder was drawing a paycheck. That decision was possible because Doug had kept his entertainment agency running in parallel and was not dependent on the production company income yet. The broader principle holds regardless of the specific situation: the sooner a founder identifies what they should stop doing and puts someone qualified in that seat, the faster the business grows and the less the founder has to be inside it to make that happen. The Decision to Stop Being the Founder Who Misses the Kids' Doug spent 30 years working weekends as an entertainment agency owner. His children grew up with a father who was almost always working during the exact hours when they were doing the things that mattered. This was a wake-up call. The shift he made when he launched Turnkey was not about working less for its own sake. It was about not repeating the same trade-off. Revenue is not the thing you look back on. Some founders who tell themselves they are working hard now so they can be present later. We know how that story usually ends. The agency gets bigger, the demands grow with it, and the window closes before anyone decides to actually make the change. The structural path out of that loop is a hiring decision, a zone-of-genius identification, and a willingness to pay for someone to take the work you should not be doing before you feel financially ready to do it. Live on Air: What Real Sales Confidence Looks Like Mid-interview, Doug openly asked about the possibility to explore what a partnership with his podcast production company could look like. He narrates the logic as he does it: not asking means leaving a potential opportunity on the table simply because it feels awkward. Asking directly, transparently, and without pressure is not pitching. It is just an honest question between two people who have been talking for 30 minutes and have clearly established that they like and respect each other. The lesson Doug draws from it is about what podcasting actually trains you to do. Every interview is a pre-qualified sales conversation with someone who already said yes to spending time with you. By the time the recording ends, the trust is built and the friction is gone. Asking whether there is an opportunity is the natural last step, not a hard close. That is a fundamentally different sales experience than any cold outreach can create, and it compounds across every episode, every guest, and every listener who has been tuning in long enough to already want to work with you before they ever reach out.

Most people wouldn't expect a biblical business strategy to start in a busy restaurant.But sometimes the places that shape us the most... aren't the ones we would have chosen.In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I share a story from long before consulting, coaching CEOs, or building companies.A story that began on the floor of a restaurant in Hawaii. At the time, it didn't feel like preparation for anything significant. Just long shifts. Fast decisions. Constant movement.But looking back, something was being formed.Something that would later shape how I think about leadership, sales, and serving people well in business.This episode opens the first conversation in a new series exploring biblical business strategies but not in the way most entrepreneurs expect.Sometimes the principles that change how we lead don't come from a boardroom. They come from moments that teach us to see people differently.If you're a Christian founder, CEO, or business owner trying to grow without compromising your values, this conversation may shift the way you think about influence, trust, and the unseen foundations of business.Because building a meaningful business was never just about closing deals.

They were closing deals, winning brokerage awards, and looked like top producers on paper. But the morning after the award ceremony, Josh Ries looked at his bank account and realized the numbers told a completely different story. After expenses, lead generation bills, and a stack of software subscriptions he wasn't even using, there was almost nothing left. Within about two years of rebuilding their system from the ground up, Josh and his wife cut their cost per acquisition by nearly 80% and finally built a business that actually paid them.Josh Ries is a managing broker in South Dakota, a lead generation consultant, and a weekly contributor to Inman Magazine. With a background in digital marketing and law enforcement, Josh brings a data-driven, no-nonsense lens to the real estate business that most agents never get exposed to.In this episode we get into the math that most brokerages never teach, how Josh rebuilt his entire lead generation system after firing every third-party lead vendor, and why the busiest agents in your office might also be the most broke.Inside this episode:The award ceremony wake-up call: closing deals, getting recognized, and barely covering next month's lead gen billsWhy there is no such thing as a free lead, and how to calculate what you are actually payingHow Josh cut his cost per acquisition by nearly 80% using his own Google and Meta systemsThe relevance and continuity framework that increased his conversion rate without spending moreWhat a pipe bomb, a traumatic brain injury, and a near-death experience taught him about building an efficient, profitable businessWant to connect with Josh?

Some careers are planned. Others are built through grit, pressure, and pure resilience.In this episode of What the Fixed Ops?!, we welcome Sheila Pogue, Dealer Marketing Consultant at Dealer OMG, to the show.Sheila's journey into the automotive and dealership world didn't begin in a showroom or service drive — it started in hospitality, managing bars and restaurants before making an unexpected leap into the RV, marine, and dealership industries. From the parts counter to service leadership to operations management, she worked her way up through the trenches and built her career from the ground up.Today, Sheila helps dealerships across the country improve performance through smarter marketing, stronger customer targeting, and a deeper understanding of how fixed ops, retention, and culture all work together to drive long-term profitability.This conversation goes far beyond ads and lead generation. It's about resilience, mentorship, retention, leadership, and why some dealerships continue to grow while others get left behind.This episode will challenge the way you think about dealership culture, fixed ops, customer loyalty, and what really creates lasting success in the automotive industry.We talk about:• Sheila's unconventional path from hospitality into dealership leadership• The lessons she learned working in parts, service, warranty, and operations• Why mentorship can completely change the trajectory of a career• The reality of being a woman in fixed operations and dealership leadership• How insecurity and competition can show up between women in the industry• Why culture, retention, and leadership matter more than most dealers realize• The importance of investing in people instead of constantly replacing them• Why vendors should be treated like strategic partners, not just salespeople• The biggest marketing mistakes dealerships are making right now• How Meta, Facebook, Instagram, and customer data can be used more effectively• Why lower lead volume doesn't have to mean lower performance• The massive opportunity dealers are still missing in fixed operations• Why service retention may be the most overlooked growth strategy in automotive• How the customer journey should feed directly from sales into the service drive• Why dealers need to prepare technicians and teams now for EV and hybrid serviceSheila also shares powerful personal stories about earning respect, leading under pressure, navigating tough workplace dynamics, and the moments that reminded her why great customer service still matters.Her message is simple: adapt, invest in people, focus on retention, and stop overlooking fixed ops as the engine of dealership growth.This is a candid, practical, and inspiring conversation about leadership, reinvention, marketing, and what it really takes to win in today's dealership environment.Connect with SheilaLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sheilapogue713/Email: sheila@dealeromg.comDealer Profitability Summit: https://dealerprofitabilitysummit.com/Global Dealer Solutions offers a network of high-performance providers while remaining product agnostic.

Ryan Fenn is an entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Chiirp, a software company focused on helping home service businesses convert more leads into booked jobs. A lifelong entrepreneur, Fenn built his career from the ground up—starting with a windshield repair business he launched with just a few hundred dollars and scaling it into a multi-location operation. Through his early experience in sales and home services, Fenn identified a major gap in the industry: most companies weren't losing revenue because of poor marketing, but because of inconsistent and slow follow-up with leads. This insight ultimately led him to create Chiirp, which automates customer follow-up across multiple channels, including text messages, emails, voicemail drops, and more.

A lot of investors are out here saying their leads are bad.But something else is happening, and you probably don't even know…Like the guy who bought 101 leads and closed one deal. He was ready to never buy a lead again.But when PropertyLeads pulled the data, only 10 of those 101 properties sold to anybody. The leads weren't bad…and that's exactly the problem most investors never see.Because those same leads are selling to someone else.I sat down with James Heartquist from PropertyLeads.com, and we broke down exactly why investors are leaving deals on the table right now, and what the top operators are doing differently to close in this market.PropertyLeads tracks title transfers on every lead they sell you, watching what sells, and telling you when a property you were sent just closed, so you can see exactly where your process broke down.They've also built live transfers and a home seller experience that keeps sellers locked into your world before your competition even gets a callback.And right now, you can try it with $250 in free credit when you fund your account.CLICK HERE to Check Out PropertyLeads >> Catch you later!LINKS & RESOURCES1,000 FREE Seller LeadsGet your first 1,000 seller leads FREE from our partner BatchLeads and start closing deals immediately.

What happens when the real "close" isn't the signature—but the customer's commitment to consume? In this episode, Peter Winick talks with Art Fromm, a keynote speaker and sales enablement leader focused on what many B2B organizations still miss: the costly gap between pre-sales and sales. Art's thought leadership centers on building seamless partnership, not a messy handoff, so clients win sooner and revenue sticks longer. Art makes the shift unmistakable. The market moved from one-time enterprise transactions to SaaS, recurring revenue, adoption, retention, and usage-based economics. That means "closing" is no longer the finish line. It's the starting gun. If customers don't adopt and succeed, the deal never really happened. From there, Art outlines his core platform: aligning pre-sales and sales into a true divide-and-conquer team. No delegation games. No dictation. Just shared ownership of the client outcome. He points to research suggesting seamless collaboration can lift sales impact materially—because the biggest unlock is often already sitting on the table. This is also where Art's content engine comes in. He's clear that thought leadership isn't a "someday" project. It's a practice. Write. Publish. Learn what lands. Then refine. He shares how he captures and distributes ideas through posts, podcasts, and a dedicated hub on his website (teamsalesdevelopment.com) with events and articles that keep the thinking accessible. Art's book "Making SEAMless Sales" plays a central role in the platform. He describes it as a labor of love and a high-leverage calling card—less about book sales, more about clarifying the model and creating a door-opener for bigger engagements. If you lead sales, enablement, customer success, or go-to-market in a subscription business, this episode will challenge your definitions. The question isn't "Did we win the deal?" The question is "Did we build the conditions for sustained consumption and retention?" Three Key Takeaways: • "Closing" has changed: In SaaS and recurring revenue models, the win isn't the signature—it's adoption, usage, and retention (a commitment to consume). • Alignment is the lever: The biggest performance unlock is often true partnership between pre-sales and sales—shared ownership of client outcomes, not a handoff. • Thought leadership that sells: A repeatable writing engine (book + ongoing blogs/articles) clarifies the framework, builds authority, and creates higher-quality conversations that lead to revenue. If Art's "commitment to consume" mindset resonated, queue up Steve Watt's episode "Using Thought Leadership to Earn Your Way Into Sales Consideration" next. Steve digs into how thought leadership earns you a seat in the buying conversation before prospects are ready to buy—the same strategic shift from "pitching" to building credibility and momentum. Listen to both and you'll get a one-two punch: how to align your revenue team for outcomes (Art) and how to use thought leadership to generate and accelerate demand (Steve).

You're closing deals. Checks are coming in. But income still feels uncertain. In this episode, we break down why so many productive agents still feel financially unstable — even during strong months. You'll learn: - Why closings alone can't create income confidence - The difference between income and pipeline visibility - Why busy agents often feel least secure - How listings create predictability - The systems that turn chaos into control When structure replaces hustle, income becomes predictable — even in uncertain markets. Closings pay bills. Systems create confidence.

What if the key to scaling your real estate business isn't selling more homes, but learning how to delegate smarter? In this episode of the Real Estate Excellence Podcast, Tracy Hayes sits down with Jamie Hallman, founder of Consider It Closed and a powerhouse in the world of transaction coordination. Jamie shares her fascinating journey from working as a registered dietitian to traveling the world on a mission trip, and ultimately discovering her passion and skillset were perfectly aligned with real estate coordination. She opens up about how her solutions-driven mindset, love for structure, and eye for detail led her to create one of Florida's top transaction coordination companies. Jamie explains why delegation is essential for agents at every stage—from those closing just a few deals a year to top producers juggling dozens.

In this episode, the speaker dives into the core reasons why many fail to close deals, emphasizing three main points: not asking enough people, not following up diligently, and not being convinced of the value of their offering. The speaker also addresses the importance of relying on faith rather than solely on personal efforts, sharing personal anecdotes and biblical principles to illustrate the concept of trust in God. Additionally, he suggests studying successful testimonials and praying for guidance to overcome obstacles in the sales process. He concludes by encouraging listeners to join his YouTube channel and access free resources for further learning.   ——

This week, Jason is joined by a serial entrepreneur who has built four of the most successful environmental service businesses in North America, David Royce! David is the founder and chairman of Aptive Environmental providing pest solutions to thousands of cities in 34 states. David's companies have been highlighted in national publications, including The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, Fortune, Entrepreneur, and Inc. Magazine. In 2015, David was awarded the Earnest Young National Entrepreneur of the Year award.  David shares his journey from knocking on doors as a pest control salesman to becoming Rookie of the Year by mastering sales through relentless study. He breaks down the art of closing deals, why perfecting your pitch is everything, and how taking initiative—like creating a training manual—helped him dramatically increase his earnings summer after summer. David also dives into why “unsexy” jobs are underrated, how he nearly bankrupted his business before scaling it nationally, and the ways Tony Hsieh of Zappos influenced his approach to company culture. He opens up about his biggest career mistake, the importance of mastering sales as a lifelong skill, how to manage newfound wealth, what he looks for (and avoids) when hiring, and what's next on his entrepreneurial journey. Plus, he shares his best advice for anyone looking to build a successful business from the ground up. David reveals all this and so much more in another episode you can't afford to miss!
