Are you struggling to build a resilient book of business in a fiercely competitive market, or thinking how the latest logistics technology is going to disrupt your daily freight sales process? What does it take to stand out and win customers when shippers are sick of the same old transactional pitches? Dan Annunziata from The Sales DREAM gets straight to the facts on modern B2B sales in the freight brokerage business! We deep into his journey from cutting his teeth at the largest broker in North America to building custom supply chain tech, unpacking exactly what it takes to pivot from a sheer volume-based dialing strategy to a value-driven, multi-modal sales approach. Dan lays out the reality of how AI and automated freight solutions are replacing average reps, and why leveraging a targeted tech stack while delivering a hyper-personalized customer experience is your only path forward to win deals. If you want to stop losing market share, upgrade your freight sales strategy, and start executing at an elite level, you cannot afford to miss this conversation! About Dan Annunziata Dan Annunziata is endeavoring to disrupt all things B2B sales and go-to-market, initially focused in logistics. Currently Chief Customer Officer at The Sales DREAM, the company behind Revogent, an AI-powered sales operating system built to give logistics and B2B organizations real command & control across their revenue teams. He has only ever known freight, as a third-generation logistics professional. His grandfather started in the industry after World War II, his dad put in 45 years, and Dan is 19 years in, a century of one family in logistics. Dan spent those 19 years at C.H. Robinson and Uber Freight, almost entirely on the customer and growth side of the business, and went on to lead two of the largest commercial organizations with the most complex go-to-markets in the industry. That seat came with a particular education: he bought most of the CRMs and sales technology on the market, nearly all of it promising to make sellers better and revenue higher. He also trained more than 5,000 sales reps and account managers across the industry, enough reps, in enough rooms, to know exactly where the promise and the reality separate. That's the perspective behind Revogent, where the target is big: disrupting how B2B sales organizations grow. The premise is that sales like all functions will be disrupted and his experience and background will lead the charge not Silicon Valley. Dan also holds a commercial advisory role with Argus Logistics and is opening a few Scooter's Coffee shops. He lives in the Minneapolis area with his family.

Fencing is one of the oldest sports in Olympic history. It's also one of the least watched domestically. Phil Andrews, CEO of USA Fencing, is on a mission to change that, and with the 2028 Los Angeles Games on the horizon, he's running out of time. Andrews joins Rapid Response to reveal how he's building a sports brand with almost no budget and no marketing playbook, cold-calling CMOs, crashing Comic-Con, and convincing Snoop Dogg and Flavor Flav to pick up a sword. He also explains why he banded together five niche sports into a collective to take on sponsors as a group, and how the sport's unlikely Hollywood connections are becoming its greatest marketing asset. A masterclass in scrappy brand building for anyone competing against bigger, better-funded opponents.Visit the Rapid Response website here: https://www.rapidresponseshow.com/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Abdul has been buying houses for close to nine years. He started by driving for dollars and dialing every lead himself, and it took him six months to close his first deal. In this episode he breaks down how he talks to a seller on the phone, from the first question he asks to the reason someone takes his offer over a higher one. He also gets into which lists he pulls, whether a beginner should hand dial or run a dialer, and when it makes sense to put callers on the phone instead of doing it yourself.

Send us Fan MailWe pressure test cold calling with Kenslee from Platinum and land on a simple truth: it works when the list is clean, the script is tight, and the follow-up system runs in the background. We share real numbers from a 1,000-dial month, plus how we balance cold outreach with retention, referrals, and mindset so growth actually sticks. • why cold calling still belongs in a property management BDM toolkit • building a qualified landlord call list using RP Data and ID4me • handling “Where did you get my number from?” without losing confidence • using offshore VAs for data scraping, admin support, and follow-up tasks • defining a lead as “yes, send me info” and logging everything into a CRM nurture campaign • what 950 to 1,000 calls can produce in leads and new managements • realistic ramp-up timelines for new BDMs and new territories • relationship manager vs BDM and when an SDR or appointment setter makes sense • calling existing clients, investor audits, and why phone beats long emails • churn rate as the hidden metric that decides whether growth matters If you are thinking that you wanna do cold calling and maybe your numbers aren't there and you need to do something- then reach out to Kenslee, who can help you with how she developed her scriptThis podcast is sponsored by PropertyMe.Australia's #1 Property Management Software. www.propertyme.com.au Detector Inspector | Safer Homes
Posting "just listed" and still feel invisible? The storybrand marketing framework real estate agents actually use looks nothing like what you're doing right now.I used to be the worst kind of marketer. Every post was about me, my new listing, my win, my hustle. Nobody cared and nobody called. Once I flipped the script and became the guide instead of the hero, everything changed, especially with sellers who had already been burned by another agent. That's the entire idea behind the storybrand marketing framework real estate agents are catching onto now.In this breakdown I walk through the exact real estate branding mistakes that were quietly killing my response rate, and the shift that turned my content into something people actually acted on. This isn't theory. It's the same approach that helped me pick up 75 expired listings in a single year.✅ Why most agents are making the same real estate agent marketing mistakes without even realizing it✅ How real estate storytelling marketing gets sellers to see themselves in your posts instead of watching you brag✅ The exact expired listing cold call script I use when I call a seller whose listing just fell through✅ Why your current real estate social media mistakes are costing you calls, not just likes✅ How to actually become the guide not the hero in real estate so sellers trust you before you ever pick up the phone✅ An updated expired listing script for 2026 built for how sellers are actually thinking right now✅ How to use storybrand for real estate agents without sounding like a corporate pitch deckIf you've ever wondered how to position yourself as a guide not the hero, this is the entire mechanism, no fluff, no theory, just what worked on real calls with real sellers.
In this episode of The Inventive Journey, Devin Miller talks with Abbas Mohammed about cold calls, persistence, remote hiring, AI, and business focus that keeps founders from becoming full-time firefighters with laptops.Abbas's story starts at 19, when he dropped out of college to pursue real estate. That decision sounds bold in hindsight, but it came with the classic startup starter pack: uncertainty, long hours, rejection, and a calendar that probably needed medical attention. He spent about a year making calls, working long days, and pushing through before landing his first real transaction.That first win opened the door to growth. Abbas began scaling his real estate business by hiring virtual assistants, eventually growing a larger team of cold callers. By increasing outreach capacity, he multiplied activity without personally doing every single task. That helped him grow substantially and become one of the top RE-MAX agents at a young age.But real estate also exposed a limitation: geography. Abbas saw that his growth was tied to local markets and location-based constraints. That realization pushed him toward a new opportunity. He started Remote Leverage, first as a cold calling agency for real estate agents, then pivoted into a recruiting model focused on helping businesses hire Latin American virtual assistants and skilled remote talent.The Remote Leverage model focuses on direct hiring rather than a traditional staffing-agency structure. Abbas explains how this gives small businesses access to capable remote workers while keeping costs lower than many local hiring options. He also highlights why Latin American talent can be attractive for U.S. businesses: similar time zones, strong communication, and collaboration during normal business hours.A major theme is quality. Abbas is not arguing that founders should hire the cheapest possible help. His point is that the right remote talent can create leverage when the business has clear roles, expectations, and systems. Cheap support without structure can become expensive confusion. Good support with clear direction can become a growth engine.Devin and Abbas also discuss AI and its impact on virtual assistants. Abbas shares that AI has helped his company increase productivity and revenue, but he does not view AI as a complete replacement for human talent. Instead, AI changes the nature of the work by supporting research, summaries, workflows, and faster execution. Human judgment, communication, accountability, and problem-solving still matter.The episode also explores business decision-making. Abbas talks about testing ideas, learning from failed experiments, and recognizing when client expectations do not match reality. One lesson involved marketing ROI timelines. Clients sometimes expected results faster than Abbas anticipated. That kind of lesson is painfully useful, which is entrepreneur-speak for “we learned it after the invoice was already emotionally complicated.”Near the end, Abbas shares one of his clearest rules of thumb for founders: focus on the bottleneck. Many entrepreneurs chase too many initiatives at once. They add products, tools, campaigns, hires, and meetings without first identifying the one constraint most limiting growth. Abbas recommends finding that bottleneck and solving it before scattering attention across everything else.For startup founders and small business owners, this episode offers a practical scaling playbook: talk to the market, do the hard work early, delegate repeatable tasks, hire for quality, use AI as a productivity multiplier, and keep asking what is actually holding the business back.Abbas Mohammed's journey from cold calls to Remote Leverage is a reminder that business growth is rarely about one magic tactic. It is about learning the work, creating leverage, adapting the model, and refusing to let the founder become the bottleneck.To chat about this one-on-one, grab a free consult at strategymeeting.com

In the latest episode of Executive Function, Brett sits down with Eric Sager, COO of Plaid, following stints as CRO of Bluevine and Head of Sales at Square. During his seven-year tenure at Plaid, Eric has helped lead the business through a pandemic, Visa's collapsed acquisition, a fintech downturn, and the AI boom. In today's conversation, he unpacks how he kept teams focused during turbulent times, why he refuses to run at 100% capacity, and how he re-architected the go-to-market function as Plaid scaled. In today's episode, we discuss: How Plaid stayed focused after the Visa acquisition fell through and then raised at nearly 3x the price Why great COOs deliberately make themselves obsolete Why Eric treats speed, risk, and cost as a three-way trade-off, and why sometimes going slower wins How refusing to run at 100% capacity helped Plaid win OpenAI, Perplexity, and Replit Why Eric personally cold-calls brand-new employees References Bain & Company: https://www.bain.com Bluevine: https://www.bluevine.com Chase: https://www.chase.com Citibank: https://www.citi.com Eyal Lifshitz: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eyallifshitz/ Françoise Brougher: https://x.com/FrancoiseBr Gokul Rajaram: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gokulrajaram1/ Jack Dorsey: https://x.com/jack Michael Mankins: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelcmankins OpenAI: https://openai.com Perplexity: https://www.perplexity.ai Plaid: https://plaid.com Replit: https://replit.com Sarah Friar: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sarah-friar/ Square: https://squareup.com Visa: https://www.visa.com William Hockey: https://www.linkedin.com/in/william-hockey-04536710 Zach Perret: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zperret/ Where to find Eric Sager LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eric-sager-a529516 Where to find Brett LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brett-berson-9986094/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/brettberson Where to find First Round Capital Website: https://firstround.com/ First Round Review: https://review.firstround.com/ Twitter/X: https://twitter.com/firstround YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FirstRoundCapital This podcast on all platforms: https://review.firstround.com/podcast Timestamps 00:00 Introduction 00:40 Leading a company through turbulent times 04:24 How to build a resilient team culture 08:33 How Plaid avoids bureaucracy, while operating at scale 10:58 The speed-quality tradeoff: Going faster isn't always better 15:32 When to move from generalists to specialized customer segments 20:14 Why Plaid has one owner for entire customer relationships 22:06 The "quarterback" model: one owner, experts on call 24:08 Why you should never run your org at 100% capacity 29:47 "Always available, never needed": the support mantra 36:49 Eric's unusual "hit by a bus" test to measure job success 43:57 Why Eric cold calls brand-new employees 52:14 Eric's week: 25% ecosystem, 50% business, 25% team 55:15 How to spot fake mission alignment in interviews 59:04 The one thing a founder has that no hire can replicate

In the summer of 2021, School of Rock was a youth-oriented music education company with 291 franchise- and company-owned schools globally. Before Rob Price became CEO in 2017, School of Rock's nonconformist culture led to variability in teaching styles, educational outcomes, and risks for copyright violations. One of Price's major initiatives to aid better standardization was the Method App which provided a structure to empower and guide work at the school branches, featuring nearly 100 show programs and 1,000 copyright-compliant song choices tagged with the associated skill levels, musical concepts, and corresponding show programs. When the app launched in 2019, it struggled to gain traction. Some franchisees felt the functionality was flawed; others worried that the app threatened their pedagogical independence. Harvard Business School Professors Tatiana Sandino and Jeffrey Rayport joined host Brian Kenny and School of Rock leaders Stacey Ryan, President, and Rob Price, Former CEO for a live taping of Cold Call on the HBS campus. They discussed the case, “School of Rock: Tuning into Structured Empowerment,” and explored how they chose to drive adoption of the Method App across its franchisees without reigniting tensions with the corporate office.

Most Christian entrepreneurs say they hate cold calling. They say it feels awkward. Pushy. Maybe even a little manipulative.So they avoid it.But what if the real issue isn't cold calling at all? What if the discomfort is revealing something deeper about how many faith-driven entrepreneurs see their role in the marketplace?In this episode of The Estherpreneur Podcast, I explore a question that may challenge the way you think about outreach, sales, and even calling.Somewhere along the way, many believers began assuming that being authentic means waiting to be discovered. But what if that assumption is costing more than we realize? What if the conversations we avoid are connected to the very people we're called to serve?This episode opens a deeper conversation about initiative, stewardship, and the tension many Christian founders feel when faith and business growth collide. This perspective will shift the way you see sales, service, and your assignment in the marketplace.Because sometimes the thing we resist the most… is the doorway to the people we're meant to reach.If you're a CEO, consultant, or founder who wants to grow your business without compromising your faith, integrity, or calling, this episode will challenge the way you think about sales—and the role you play in the marketplace! The Estherpreneur Podcast is for CEOs, founders, and faith-driven entrepreneurs who are growing—but something feels misaligned. Whether it's your structure, your clarity, or your capacity, this show helps you identify what's off and what to focus on next.Hosted by Edna Harding, author of "The Ugly Side of Sales 2.0" and founder of Favor & Wealth, a business growth strategy firm that helps leaders scale with clarity, structure, and biblical alignment.

Ninety percent of people never answer a number they do not recognize. The problem is not your pitch, it is that nobody knows who is calling.James Buckley sat down with Sara Uy, founder of SellingSara, and Chris Stalnaker of First Orion, on what happens in the two seconds before someone decides not to pick up. Chris's framing: a random ten digit number is about as good as showing up as spam.Two openers Sara uses every dayThe first: hey James, you are totally gonna hate me, this is a cold call. If you give me 27 seconds and what I say is not valuable, I will never call you back again. Her defence is that people who hate it have not tried it, and that it only works if your tone is confident.The second: hey Chris, it is Sara over at SellingSara, what did I catch you in the middle of? Most people answer before they think, then ask how they know her, which is the opening. Even a hang-up is a win if you learned they were walking the dog, because that is your reference next time.Her deadline for both is five to seven seconds to sound like a person, not a bot.The voicemail argumentChris does not leave them, because nobody listens. Sara leaves them because nobody listens and everybody reads the transcription. She reads every one she gets.Hers is built for that: there is absolutely no need to call me back, but I am sending you a LinkedIn video right now so you can reply there. The voicemail is not a request, it is her name in front of them plus a reason to look elsewhere.James stopped leaving his phone number years ago, credits John Barrows for it, and instead names the email he is about to send, sometimes with the subject line, so the reply comes back by email.Nine before nine, five after fiveSara's timing rule. Call your nine hottest leads before 9am and your five hottest after 5pm, and yes, call the same person twice in a day. Her record on the morning block is seven pickups, set at Pareto. Nobody is at their desk yet and nothing has gone wrong yet. She has caught people in the coffee queue and sent a gift card after. Chris runs Tuesdays and Thursdays and avoids evenings.More is the answer, but only up to a pointSara's read: at ten to twenty dials a day, your manager is right. At ninety, pick the twenty you most want and hyper-personalise those, and let the other seventy carry the volume. Chris signed the largest contract of his career on roughly his 270th dial of the day.What to do about AI call screeningSara: get your name and company out in the first few words, because that is all the screen shows. Chris's counterintuitive one: if you have branded calling, say nothing at all, because screening needs something to transcribe and silence lets the branded display take precedence.More answers does not mean more salesChris's own caveat on his category, and the most interesting thing he said. Answer rates can fall while conversation length, engagement, and conversion all rise, because identifying yourself properly means the people who actually want to talk are the ones picking up.The Speakers:James Buckley, Host, Sell BetterSara Uy, Founder, Selling SaraChris Stalnaker, Senior Sales Executive, First OrionCatch The Daily Sales Show liveFollow Sell BetterExplore our YouTube ChannelWatch the replayThank you to our sponsor: First Orion
Getting hung up on by any leader hurts, but it's the grind. Jason Bay flips the script and shows you how to bounce back and book meetings. In this episode you'll learn:
Growing up at the bottom of the world and the strong Leitch racing genes. Being round his Dad Barry’s internationally respected Motorsport restoration business and how that ‘hands on’ learning helps to this day. Getting creative to find the budget to go racing and heading off with props in his backpack after school. Working at Highlands Motorsport Park and for Scott O’Donnell (now part owner for Walkinshaw TWG Racing) in the early years. The respect for his brother Damon’s talent and Brendon’s little known cooking skills. What it was like to only race five weekends over the New Zealand summer (on a shoe string budget) but to beat some F1 stars of the future! And the bollocking he received from a respected team manager that Brendon says helped shape his career. Plus a funny rental car adventure in Japan. This is one of those eps that will genuinely draw you in. Easy going, affable but hungry and determined. Brendon gets the podcast medium too and he converses here with ease.

Most agents calling expired listing sellers think they're doing it right. They're not. The conversation sounds fine on the surface but the appointments aren't coming, and they have no idea which moment in the call is costing them.This is a full expired listing role play with live coaching feedback after every rep. Not a polished script demo. Not theory. A real practice session where you hear the mistake made in real time and then hear exactly what should have been said instead. Word for word.Here is what you are going to get out of this session:✅ The exact expired listing cold call script structure that keeps sellers talking instead of hanging up✅ How to handle the moment the seller says "I'm not interested" without going into pitch mode✅ Why most agents fail to uncover seller motivation early enough and how that one gap kills the appointment✅ The right way to handle expired listing objections including "I have to talk to my wife" without over-explaining or losing momentum✅ How to use a seller's family goals to make the appointment feel like their idea, not yours✅ The coaching debrief breakdown, what to say to expired listings when they push back and what to cut immediately✅ A live example of how to handle expired listings who came off the market burned, frustrated, and done with agents✅ Why real estate cold call role play with live correction converts into real skill faster than watching a perfect demoIf you have been making calls and not booking appointments, the problem is not your leads. It is one or two specific moments in the expired listing conversation you have not identified yet. This session finds them.

Get free access to the full course + companion workbook: https://masterclass.outboundsquad.com/ 91% of buyers believe salespeople don't understand what they do, what they care about, or what their company does.

BTO Program Manager Lt. Col. Adam Willis, M.D., U.S. Air Force, joins Voices from DARPA to share his remarkable journey from a ROTC physics major to a leading innovator in military medicine.Dr. Willis discusses how a desire to apply science to help people led him down the dual paths of a Ph.D. in theoretical and appliled mechanics and a medical degree with a focus on neurology.
