Ask a question hereWARNING: INTENTIONALLY ABRASIVEIf you want to know what pool professionals need, ask the person in the fucking truck.This week on Floc-It Fridays, Rudy Stankowitz takes on the gossip, gatekeeping, and behind-the-scenes politics that make an already demanding trade harder than it needs to be.From manufacturers' reps badmouthing pool professionals to private calls about who should appear on a podcast or receive mentor recognition, Rudy shares the experiences that have changed how he views industry support—and what he expects from the people claiming to provide it.He also revisits the pool professionals who helped test the alum method for reducing cyanuric acid, the pushback he encountered, and why evidence should matter whether a claim comes from an independent service tech or a company with an enormous marketing budget.Good reps earn trust. Good companies stand behind their products. And good ideas deserve serious testing. Supporting pool professionals means listening when they ask difficult questions, challenge a protocol, or find a better way to do the work.In this episode:Why a rep trashing another pool pro should raise a red flag.Field-driven innovation and resistance to ideas that could change product use.Alum, cyanuric acid reduction, and the role of participating pool professionals.Holding corporate claims and independent research to consistent standards.Rudy's account of pressure surrounding podcast guests and mentor recognition.Recognition for Kelli Clancy and colleagues who helped build education and community for women in pools.The responsibility to document observations, acknowledge limitations, and correct mistakes.What meaningful support for service techs, builders, plaster crews, and renovation contractors looks like.“A nice label is not data.

I'm back in the corporate practice of medicine content cycle, this time on the Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act, a new federal bill modeled on Oregon's landmark CPOM law. It closes the MSO / PC ""friendly physician"" loophole that corporations like Apollo MD use to get around existing laws in 34 states, and it kills non-competes and non-disparagement clauses so hospital-employed doctors can finally speak out. It's not perfect, nonprofit hospitals are exempt, but I support it. My answer to declining reimbursement isn't to sell to private equity, it's to work together: merge practices, form IPAs, unionize where employed. Physicians are terrible at group projects, and it's costing us.After the break, an update on GLP-1s and NAION now that the lawsuits are hitting mainstream media. The correlation is real, the causation isn't proven, and the comorbidities overlap heavily. Don't stop your GLP-1 based on a news story, talk to your doctor about your specific risk factors. But if you have sudden painless vision loss on the medication, see an eye doctor immediately. Takeaways: The Stop Corporate Takeovers of Physicians Act closes the MSO / PC "friendly physician" loophole that corporations use to circumvent existing corporate practice of medicine laws in 34 states. The bill also eliminates non-competes and non-disparagement clauses, freeing hospital-employed physicians to speak out about harmful practices without fear of retribution. The critique that killing private equity gives nonprofit hospitals free rein misses the point,  hospitals and PE are aligned on profit motives, not competitors. Will's answer to declining reimbursement isn't selling to PE, it's merging practices, forming independent physician associations, and unionizing where employed. On GLP-1s and NAION, the current signal is correlation, not causation, don't stop the medication based on news coverage, but seek immediate care for sudden painless vision loss. — To Get Tickets to Wife & Death: You can visit Glaucomflecken.com/live  We want to hear YOUR stories (and medical puns)!

Brooke DeRenzis from the National Skills Coalition talks with Paul Fain about how to build a workforce agenda for the AI economy. The National Skills Coalition is a nonprofit organization that advocates for inclusive, high-quality skills training. DeRenzis is the group's DC-based CEO. She shares how the US can leverage bipartisan concern about AI's impacts to improve on decades of unfinished workforce policy. Chapters 00:00 How ready is the US?: The main workforce law is a generation old and its real funding has shrunk. The safety net is built for normal ups and downs, not structural change. 02:15 We spend far less than our peers: The US is at the bottom of the OECD chart on workforce spending. 03:15 What Americans are saying: Nobody has a crystal ball. People want to know what AI means for their own job, family and community. 06:05 From "second chance" to "first choice": Treating workforce spending as a core investment, and why the lack of partisan lines on AI is an opening. 11:45 "Job training doesn't work"?: What workers actually want: economic stability, and control over their own careers. 14:55 "Economic infrastructure": People shouldn't have to choose between putting food on the table and getting training. 17:20 Where basic income and reskilling overlap: New Mexico's guaranteed income for student parents, and pandemic emergency aid at community colleges. 20:00 The pilot problem: Low spending produces modest results, which justifies low spending. Per Scholas, and $2K training vouchers versus a $10K program. 25:05 Scaling up: Community colleges, union-management training partnerships, and employers who want in from the start. 29:40 Corporate money: Lowe's and others investing in the skilled trades, and the building of AI infrastructure itself driving demand for workers. 33:05 States or Washington? Why not to wait, and the broken promises of past economic transitions. 37:45 Pennsylvania: Deindustrialization, Gov. Shapiro's shift on data centers, and where people can look for hope. 41:40 Community anchors: Community colleges and community groups as the places people go when they're worried about work. 44:45 A New Promise of Work: About 500 conversations nationwide, policy proposals coming at the National Skills Coalition's March 2027 Skills Summit, and who needs to champion them.

Host Paul Fain talks with top experts about how the U.S. education and workforce systems can be part of the solution, what sort of policies will be needed, and who should pay for all this.

A comfortable retirement depends on more than the money someone has saved. It also depends on the country they retire into… the reliability of its roads, water, electricity, healthcare and other essential infrastructure. Could retirement funds help build that country while still protecting members’ savings? Joining us to unpack the opportunity, the risks and what makes infrastructure genuinely investable is Gumani Tshikovhi, Client Director at Old Mutual Corporate Presenter John Maytham is an actor and author-turned-talk radio veteran and seasoned journalist.

In dieser Episode sprechen Dani und Nora darüber, warum Podcasts aus der modernen Unternehmenskommunikation kaum mehr wegzudenken sind. Gerade in einer Zeit, in der KI-generierter Content innerhalb weniger Minuten entsteht und täglich unzählige Inhalte um unsere Aufmerksamkeit kämpfen, wird eine Frage immer wichtiger: Wie schaffen es Unternehmen, mit ihren Inhalten noch wirklich bei Menschen anzukommen? Wir zeigen, warum Podcasts genau hier ihre Stärke ausspielen. Echte Stimmen transportieren Persönlichkeit, Emotion sowie Begeisterung und schaffen dadurch Nähe und Vertrauen. Gleichzeitig ermöglichen Podcasts Unternehmen, ihre Zielgruppe über einen längeren Zeitraum zu erreichen und Inhalte genau dort zugänglich zu machen, wo andere Medien oft keinen Platz finden: beim Autofahren, Spazierengehen, Sport oder Kochen.

What happens when a health crisis forces you to stop, reevaluate everything, and completely rethink what comes next? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Anjel B. Hartwell continues the seven-part anniversary series with Amanda Goodwin, sharing how a stage four melanoma diagnosis changed her relationship with work and investing in herself.  They talk about Amanda's stage four cancer diagnosis, the realization that her health had to come before her career, and how facing her own vulnerability changed the way she thought about work, identity, and investing in herself. If you're wondering what comes after corporate, this conversation will help you think differently about your value, your skills, your identity, and what it could look like to build a career and business around a life that actually supports you.   What You Will Learn: How a major health crisis can change your perspective on corporate work and career. Why your professional value remains intact even when your ability to work changes. Why investing in yourself can feel uncomfortable, especially for women who have been taught to self-sacrifice. How identity shifts can create ripple effects across your work, business, and personal life. Why the structure of corporate employment may not provide the security you think it does. How building your own business can allow you to create structures that actually support your life. Why consulting can provide a flexible path for using your existing skills and expertise. Why a health crisis can create clarity around what matters most.

David Milner is Chairman at premium pizza brand Crosta Mollica. This business, as announced last week, will soon be merged with European Pizza Group (Nestlé spin off, with brands like Buitoni), becoming the biggest player in the old Continent. David will be the new CEO of this new 1BN sales entity.   In this conversation, recorded in London before summer, we reflect on David's career, which has had two very differentiated episodes: the first, a "conventional" corporate career at P&G, Mars and Campbell's and, a second one, much more entrepreneurial and PE-focused, which has seen him successfully grow and exit businesses like Tyrell's Crisps or Lily's Kitchen.   Tune in to hear about: From P&G, Mars and Campbell's to private equity Scaling and exiting Tyrrells and Lily's Kitchen David's checklist for spotting winning consumer brands Why superior product has to come first How Crosta & Mollica is disrupting the pizza category Competing with multinationals through speed and consumer focus Premiumisation, packaging and winning in-store Leadership, great teams and taking calculated risks Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/jtuyNbGJXGs  Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/fmcgguys/  Audio Mixing by Modest Ferrer Voice Acting by Jason Martorell Parsekian Disclaimer The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individual guests and do not necessarily reflect the views of The FMCG Guys (Dwyer Partners SL) or its partners.

On Monday's Mark Levin Show, WJNO's Brian Mudd fills in for Mark. The release of five terrorism suspects in the UK less than two days after their arrest is a clear example of how the West is losing its way. Authorities say they are still trying to determine the suspects' motives, activities, and level of involvement in an alleged plot targeting a U.S. air base, yet they were released on bail under monitoring conditions. This reflects a broader problem of political correctness and a reluctance to directly address the role of Islamist extremism. Western societies have largely failed to recognize these trends of demographic changes in London, the growth of Muslim political representation in the United States, and the handling of this case is another example of an unwillingness to confront the issue directly. Later, we are winning the war in Iran even though many people may not feel like we're winning because higher gas prices make the conflict seem costly. Looking at recent events, leadership posturing, and the broader strategic picture, the situation is progressing better than it appears. China, Russia, and Iran operate as an aligned axis, and assessing the health of that network is key to understanding the conflict. Russia has suffered major setbacks, including severe damage to its refining capacity and a sharp decline in oil exports, creating both an energy and economic crisis. The broader strategic trends are signs that the axis is weakening and that we are closer to victory than most people realize. Finally, the economy is really a tale of two economies. On one hand, many people feel frustrated about affordability and believe the economy is struggling. On the other hand, the actual data shows a historic economic boom. Business activity in both services and manufacturing is at its strongest level in years, with demand surging and growth reaching levels not seen since 2015 outside of the post-COVID rebound. Corporate earnings are growing rapidly, GDP is projected to expand at a 5% annualized rate, poverty has fallen to a record low, and median household income has reached a record high while rising faster than inflation. Across nearly every major economic indicator, businesses are thriving and people at all income levels appear to be doing better. Yet despite these historic gains, many Americans remain unhappy with the economy, creating a disconnect between economic data and public perception. Learn more about your ad choices.

Why does a vet who's flat out every single day still hit a pay ceiling? Dr Andy Roark explains the hidden economics of veterinary practice, and an uncomfortable truth: the thing that makes us good vets might be the same thing holding our pay down.Andy is a practising vet, the founder of the Uncharted Veterinary Conference and podcast, host of The Cone of Shame podcast, and one of the best-known voices on the business side of vet medicine. He works with thousands of practice owners and managers, and he's still in the consult room too, trying to figure out how to find solutions for a client with $150 to her name - like you. In this conversation, he picks apart the sum every employed vet has done on the back of a lab result printout: why is there such a big mismatch between what I'm treating and the number on my pay slip?In this episode, he explains:■ The Mediocre Industry Problem: Why it's better to be mediocre in an exceptional industry than exceptional in a mediocre one, and where vet medicine sits on that scale.■ The Inherent Tension: Why veterinary profession is one of the only jobs where we beg customers not to leave, and how our drive to keep care affordable puts the ceiling on what we earn.■ Where Every Dollar Goes: The three buckets that eat 85 to 90 cents of every dollar a practice brings in, and the one number that puts everything in perspective. ■ The Invisible Stress of Ownership: Why practice owners often feel real shame when pay comes up, and how much of the finances they should share with their team.■ Resentment as a Metric: How to tell when resentment is warning you about something, and how to choose what to do about it.■ Corporate vs Independent: What a US survey found about who earns more and who finds more meaning in their work, and why comparing salaries is so often the thief of joy.■ The Retail Model Mistake: The one thing Andy would change if he could rebuild the profession from scratch.Mentioned in this episodeThe 10th Anniversary Uncharted Veterinary Conference Cone of Shame PodcastThe Uncharted Veterinary PodcastBlunt Dissection with Dr Dave NicolQuestions With Crocker with Dr Tanasia CrockerFictional podcast StoryCorpsCome skiing with us (while you learn)Vets On Tour is heading to the Dolomites.

What does it take to move from a corporate career into entrepreneurship — and then build and scale a technology business internationally?In this episode of Buy-and-Build & Scaling Stories, Anirvan Sen speaks with Samit Sengupta, Founder and Managing Director of Geologix, about his journey from corporate leader to entrepreneur.But this is not simply a story about starting a company.It is about what happens as the company grows — when the founder's expertise is no longer enough, hiring becomes harder, the organization becomes more complex, and the entrepreneur must evolve alongside the business.Samit shares how his early experience working on oil rigs gave him a first-hand understanding of his customers and helped shape the way he approached the market.He also speaks candidly about one of the challenges many founders eventually face: becoming a bottleneck in their own business.Our conversation then turns to one of the biggest challenges for growing SMEs — hiring.Samit discusses mistakes made by pursuing candidates with impressive “gold label” companies on their CVs and why experience in a major corporation did not always translate into success in a smaller entrepreneurial business.That experience led to a different approach: recruiting less-experienced people, looking closely at their attitude and problem-solving ability, and investing in developing their capabilities over time.We also discuss Geologix's experience with freemium, international scaling, and why Samit continues investing in his own leadership development even after decades of experience.• Samit's journey from corporate leader to entrepreneur• How experience on oil rigs shaped his understanding of customers• Winning the confidence of early customers• Building and scaling an international technology business• Recognizing when the founder becomes a bottleneck• Why impressive corporate CVs do not always produce the right SME hires• Hiring less-experienced people and developing their capabilities• Looking for attitude and problem-solving ability during interviews• Geologix's experience with freemium• Why entrepreneurs need to continue upgrading their own leadership capabilitiesAs your company grows, are you simply building a bigger business — or are you building an organization capable of operating at a bigger scale?One of the strongest lessons from Samit's journey is that the capabilities required to start a business are not necessarily the capabilities required to scale it.Starting often depends heavily on the founder's knowledge, relationships, expertise, and problem-solving ability.Scaling increasingly depends on building those capabilities throughout the organization.And that requires the entrepreneur to keep evolving too.------------Connect with Samit Sengupta⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/samit-sengupta-b560613/⁠Geologix:⁠https://www.geologix.com/⁠--------Connect with Anirvan SenLinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/anirvansen/⁠-------------About Buy-and-Build & Scaling StoriesBuy-and-Build & Scaling Stories brings together founders, CEOs, CFOs, investors, operators, and advisers who have lived through the challenges of building, acquiring, scaling, and exiting businesses.These are stories from inside the journey — the decisions, challenges, mistakes, and lessons that rarely appear in deal announcements or investment presentations.Hosted by Fifth Chrome.Presented by Anirvan Sen.

A CNBC segment reported that an analyst sees AI safety concerns as a limited near term earnings risk for major technology vendors. The European Union's AI Act, adopted in 2024, phases in through 2025 and 2026 with fines up to 35 million euros or up to 7 percent of worldwide turnover. In the United States, the White House issued an October 30, 2023 executive order on AI safety, and NIST launched the AI Safety Institute in 2024. Corporate earnings commentary through 2024 from Microsoft, Alphabet, Meta, Amazon, and Nvidia emphasized AI demand rather than safety costs. Ongoing legal actions include The New York Times v. OpenAI and Microsoft and Getty Images v. Stability AI, while the FTC inquiry into OpenAI continues. Enterprise buyers are demanding audits, model documentation, and indemnities, which can lengthen sales cycles but favor vendors with mature controls.Learn more on this news by visiting us at: https://greyjournal.net/news/ Hosted on Acast.

The biggest car-carrying ships on the planet. A chip-testing rig that weighs as much as a small elephant. Investment manager Alex Summers takes us inside some of emerging markets' least-watched growth companies to explain how his team sees what others have missed. “Often, the crowd is going to be right,” he acknowledges, but when it's not, long-termism, access to management and asking different questions are key to how his team determines investment opportunities. Background:Alex Summers is co-manager of our Emerging Markets Leading Companies Fund, an investment manager in our Emerging Markets Equity Team and a member of the International Growth Portfolio Construction Group.In this conversation, he tells Short Briefings… host Leo Kelion why one of his team's guiding principles is that before investing in a company, he and his colleagues must be able to articulate the critical uncertainty about a stock and why others may be wrong. “Often, you can observe something about a company, and it may be true,” he explains. “But if everybody else believes that, you're not going to create any additional outperformance by owning those companies.” Companies discussed include:Hyundai Glovis – the logistics company that's invested in a dozen ultra-sized ships and now sees an opportunity in transporting spent electric vehicle batteriesChroma ATE – the test-equipment company whose customised cabinets provide critical checks for NVIDIA and NasaSilergy – the mainland China-based semiconductor company specialising in power-management chipsReliance Industries – India's most valuable company and its heavy investment in solar panels, green hydrogen and battery storage systemsToss – the South Korean financial super-app that provides banking, payment and ecommerce services Resources:Baillie Gifford websiteEmerging Markets Leading Companies FundEmerging markets: from imitators to innovators (video)Emerging markets: the next engines of global growthShort Briefings on Long Term Thinking podcast archiveWhen consensus fails Companies mentioned include:·       Chroma ATE·       Hyundai Glovis·       Meituan·       NVIDIA·       PB Fintech·       Reliance Industries·       Samsung Electronics·       Silergy·       SK hynix·       Talabat·       Toss·       TSMCTimecodes (audio version):00:00 Introduction01:45  From Toronto to Edinburgh02:35 A lesser-covered class of companies03:35 Taking a five-to-10-year view04:15  Forming non-consensus views05:35 Hyundai Glovis and EV batteries07:10  Corporate governance reform in South Korea09:30 Getting access to senior leaders11:50   Chroma ATE's chip-testing equipment14:50  Building conviction in Silergy16:30  Declining to invest in Talabat18:20  Visiting Reliance Industries in Jamnagar20:45 Retaining sell discipline22:00 Toss and private companies24:15  Moving towards physical assets25:35 Podcasts and Substack picks  Glossary of terms (in order of mention):Magnificent Seven: A nickname for seven large US technology-related companies – Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, NVIDIA and Tesla.Holding period: The length of time an investment is owned.Corporate governance: The systems and processes by which a company is directed and controlled, including board accountability and the treatment of shareholders.Minority shareholder: An investor who owns less than a controlling stake in a company and cannot direct it alone.Bottom-up investing: Assessing individual companies rather than starting with forecasts for economies, markets or sectors.Economies of scale: Advantages that arise as a company handles more volume, reducing the average cost of each unit.Profit margin: The proportion of revenue left as profit after costs have been deducted.Graphics processing unit (GPU): A chip designed to perform many calculations in parallel, originally for graphics but now also widely used in AI.Analog chip: A semiconductor that processes continuous real-world signals, such as sound, temperature or voltage.Flotation or initial public offering (IPO): The process by which a private company first offers shares to public investors and lists them on a stock exchange.Cash flow: The movement of money into and out of a business over time.Capital allocation: The decisions a company makes about how to use its money, such as investing in growth, making acquisitions, paying dividends or reducing debt.Business vertical: A distinct business area within a company, usually focused on a particular product, service or market.Overweight: Holding more of an investment, sector or theme than the index used for a comparison.Fintech: Technology-driven financial services, such as digital payments, lending or banking tools.Insurance brokerage: A business that helps customers compare and buy insurance, acting as an intermediary between them and insurers.Capital-light: Describes a business that needs relatively little investment in physical assets to operate and grow.

Researcher Sandi Adams discusses the progression of global governance and the UN’s Agenda 2030. Adams recounts her background in the corporate world, where she witnessed early “smart city” mock-ups and rubbed shoulders with Bill Gates and Eric Schmidt, which eventually led her to investigate the shift toward technocratic dictatorship. COVID1984’s true purpose was to catalyze digitalization, the elimination of cash, and the implementation of biometric surveillance. They are behind schedule and accelerating their plans. Adams expresses deep concern over the post-human future promoted by the elite, highlighting how technology and AI are being used to centralize power and bypass traditional democratic accountability. The dialogue further explores the detrimental impact of Net Zero policies on farming and local sovereignty, particularly within Airstrip One (UK). But are the elites standing on a house of cards?

In 2014 Sandi helped sandbagging during the flooding of the Somerset levels and realised that the flood was not caused by high spring rainfall, but by UN Agenda 21 policies to protect biodiversity. Since then she has spoken all over the UK to raise awareness about UN Agenda 21/2030 Sustainable Development, The Smart City Agenda and the health risks of 5G. Sandi has been instrumental in getting Glastonbury's Green Town Council to halt 5G, pending inquiries into the dangers. More recently she has spoken out about how the “pandemic' has been very timely to further the goals of Agenda 2030 and bring in the Global Governance that we are currently experiencing. *Podcast intro music used with permission is from the song “The Queens Jig” by the fantastic “Musicke & Mirth” from their album “Music for Two Lyra Viols”: http://musicke-mirth.de/en/recordings.html (available on iTunes or Amazon)

What's really impacting the health of our children?

In This Episode Most businesses describe what they do. Chala Dincoy believes a stronger marketing message starts with identifying the expensive problem the customer desperately wants solved. In this episode, Adi Klevit interviews Chala Dincoy about repositioning B2B marketing messages to stand out and attract corporate clients. Rather than keeping the conversation theoretical, Chala puts her methodology into practice by analyzing Adi's own description of Business Success Consulting Group. She challenges Adi to move from a broad explanation of creating, documenting, optimizing, and implementing processes toward a message built around a specific audience, problem, and business consequence. Using construction as an example, Chala and Adi work backward from inconsistent processes to inconsistent onboarding, delayed productivity, costly mistakes, and ultimately the potential loss or delay of valuable projects. Chala explains that this level of specificity makes it possible to communicate the value of a solution in language that matters to the buyer. Instead of leading with process documentation itself, the message can lead with the costly business problem the documented processes help eliminate. The conversation then moves from messaging into a repeatable approach for creating sales opportunities. Chala explains how research can uncover a very specific pain point within a target market and how that insight can become the foundation for outreach, sales conversations, and creative campaigns. The larger lesson for business owners is that systems aren't limited to operations. Marketing can also become systematic when companies clearly define who they are targeting, understand the problem they solve, quantify its impact, and build their message around the outcome the customer values.  

What would it actually take for another grading company to seriously challenge PSA? Grai Miller, David Chase, Joshua Adams and I close out the show by digging into one of the hobby's biggest competitive questions. Is a recognizable name enough? Does it have to be a trusted hobby brand? Could a company like Fanatics enter the space and immediately become a legitimate player? Or would the real threat to PSA have to come from something completely different? We look back at why Beckett was once able to become a major competitor so quickly, why so many grading companies have failed to seriously threaten PSA since, and whether the next major disruption will even resemble the grading model we know today. Technology, consistency, population reports, set registries, grading guarantees and the power of the PSA brand all enter the conversation. And because apparently no serious discussion about grading can happen anymore without it, SPA Grading returns with more details about its revolutionary approach to the hobby, its highly questionable population reports and the continued miracle that is Hart's Hog Care Sports Card Formula. We also wrap up Graig Miller's debut as the first Sports Cards Live guest co-host. Subscribe to Sports Cards Live on YouTube and wherever you listen to podcasts.

He and Cameron also discuss detection cues, rewarding at source versus calling a dog back for reward, laser directionals, and what a missed odor at a threshold taught Mike about preparing for the next search.For handlers and trainers, this conversation comes back to a demanding question: Have you trained the dog for the search you're about to ask it to do?

In this episode, Jess Lorimer breaks down the difference between a sales activity and a marketing activity, and why confusing the two is one of the most common reasons a B2B sales process gets stuck. She walks through the Selling to Corporate® 5 step sales framework stage by stage, explaining the single, specific purpose behind each one, so you can diagnose exactly what's working, what isn't, and why, instead of throwing out something that was already working.   A sales activity is any activity designed specifically to relate to or lead to revenue being generated. In a B2B context, that means building and leveraging one-to-one relationships to generate revenue. A marketing activity is different. It's primarily designed to build brand awareness and build relationships at volume, which is why marketing campaigns lean on social platforms, newsletters, podcasts, and YouTube channels. Copywriting, campaign creation, social media marketing, and content creation all fall under marketing, because they create relationships at scale. Sales activities, like cold email outreach, networking for leads, speaking for leads, and holding sales calls with a decision maker, are designed to build or leverage one-to-one relationships so they turn into revenue. Marketing is a genuinely useful tool, but when you're selling B2B as an individual consultant, it shouldn't be your primary source of activity, because it isn't designed to convert. Jess is direct about this: if you're spending all your time on LinkedIn chasing more leads and more relationships, the real question is whether you're already converting the relationships you have. If you've got a database of 100 people, or 50 LinkedIn connections, and you're not converting them, you don't need more, you need to look at the quality of your sales activities instead. Putting more leads into a sales process that doesn't work just means spending more time, money, and energy on marketing that isn't producing revenue.   This is where the Selling to Corporate® 5 step sales framework comes in, a process Jess developed while training corporate sales teams and has since used with clients in over 21 countries. It works because every single part of the process has a specific, measurable outcome. Stage one is Clarity: knowing who you're selling to and the transformation you're offering them, so your sales messaging across lead generation, follow up, proposals, and sales calls is consistent rather than trying to be everything to everyone.   Stage two is Lead Generation, and its only purpose is booking qualified sales calls with decision makers who have both responsibility for your area and budget authority. If your lead generation isn't producing fewer than 5 qualified sales calls a month, it isn't working, and mass marketing methods like newsletters or LinkedIn posts that don't convert into consistent calls don't count as functioning lead generation. Stage three is the sales call itself, and its only purpose is a clear next step, either a qualified proposal or a defined no. Vague outcomes, like being asked to send over a website link or a one-pager, mean the prospect still doesn't understand what you do or how it helps them, so the call hasn't done its job.   Stage four is Offers and Proposals, the written sell that articulates and presents an offer that meets the client's need and converts the sales call into a signed contract. And stage five is Delivery and Upsell or Resell: delivering a great client experience with the specific purpose of identifying further transformation for the client and further revenue for you. Jess's core point is that when an activity isn't hitting its purpose, that's the actual problem to fix, not a reason to abandon the whole process and chase a new strategy. Understanding what each part of your sales process is supposed to achieve is what lets you troubleshoot accurately instead of guessing. Key Takeaways ●  A sales activity and a marketing activity are not the same thing, and confusing them wastes time and money. A sales activity is designed specifically to lead to revenue through one-to-one relationships. A marketing activity is designed to build brand awareness and relationships at volume. Treating time-consuming marketing work as if it were sales activity is one of the most common reasons a B2B pipeline underperforms. ●  More leads won't fix a broken sales process. If you already have a database or a set of LinkedIn connections you aren't converting, the answer isn't more volume, it's fixing the quality and structure of your sales activities. Adding more leads into a process that doesn't convert just means spending more time and money for the same result. ●  Clarity's only purpose is targeting and messaging. Knowing who you're selling to and the transformation you offer them shapes your sales messaging everywhere it appears, in lead generation, follow up, proposals, and sales calls. Without it, creating consistent messaging across different industries and problems becomes much harder. ●  Lead generation's only purpose is booking qualified sales calls. Qualified means the decision maker has both responsibility for your area and budget authority. Fewer than 5 sales calls a month from your lead generation is a sign it isn't working, whatever the volume of content or connections behind it. ●  A sales call's only purpose is a clear next step. That means either a qualified proposal or a defined no, not right now. Vague outcomes like being asked to send a website or a one-pager mean the prospect still doesn't understand what you do, so the call hasn't achieved its purpose. ●  Offers and proposals exist to convert the sales call into a signed contract. It's the written sell: articulating and pricing an offer that meets the client's need and gives them what they need to build an internal business case to say yes. § ●  Delivery and upsell or resell exists to create further transformation and further revenue. A great client experience isn't just good practice, its specific purpose is to help you spot further opportunities to support the client, which benefits them and grows your revenue at the same time. ●  Judge each activity against its own purpose, not against an outcome it was never designed to hit. Blaming lead generation for not directly producing a sale misunderstands its job, which is booking calls. Diagnosing which specific stage of the process isn't hitting its purpose is what actually fixes a stuck sales process, rather than abandoning something that was already working. Questions Corporate Buyers and AI Search Tools Are Asking The questions below are written to reflect how coaches, consultants, and service providers are actually typing into AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI Overviews when researching their own B2B sales activity. ●  What's the difference between a sales activity and a marketing activity in B2B? ●  Why isn't my LinkedIn content turning into corporate sales calls? ●  What is the actual purpose of lead generation in a B2B sales process? ●  How many qualified sales calls should my lead generation produce each month? ●  What should happen at the end of a B2B sales call? ●  Why do I keep getting stuck at the same stage of my sales process? ●  What is the Selling to Corporate 5 step sales framework? ●  Should I focus on generating more leads or converting the leads I already have? ●  How do I know if my B2B sales activities are actually working?

Send us Fan MailUS healthcare spending broke away from the rest of the developed world around 1982 and has never come back. Most people assume that was an accident. John McDonough argues it was a choice.Dr. John E. McDonough, Professor of Practice at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health and author of America's Wrong Turn, joins hosts David E. Williams and John Driscoll to discuss how four decades of free market ideology reshaped American medicine, why corporate consolidation is the single biggest driver of healthcare inflation today, and what it would actually take to build a system where everyone is covered and nobody is left outside.

First, Sam Stein sits down with Tim to discuss the latest humiliation of our troops: Trump's red carpet welcome for President Xi. Plus: the White House's insane propaganda machine, a new Maine poll throws some cold water on the midterms hopium, Sen. Tommy Tuberville's obsession with furries, and is RFK Jr. running for president? Then, Tim pulls back the curtain on his interview with Mary Peltola, which wrapped just hours before a new critical New York Times piece dropped. In their conversation, Peltola explained how nearly every issue Alaskans care about can be summed up by “fish, family, and freedom.” And that viral debate moment with Dan Sullivan revealed something deeper: He is not doing enough to protect Alaskans from corporate greed in Washington.Sam Stein and Mary Peltola join Tim Miller.show notes: The New York Times story on Mary Peltola Trump's new propaganda ad paid for by your tax dollars Video of Trump greeting President Xi The White House's AI reconstruction of the meeting Jonathan Cohn's newsletter “The Breakdown” Closing Song: MJ Lenderman - “She's Leaving You”

What if the paycheck you worked so hard for is costing you more than you realize? In this episode of Wickedly Smart Women, Anjel B. Hartwell continues the seven-part anniversary series with Amanda Goodwin with what happens when there's only out. They explore the emotional and financial cost of staying too long, why resentment can be an early warning sign, and how women can begin planning their exit before they reach the red zone.  If you're wondering what comes after corporate, this conversation will help you think differently about your options, your intellectual property, your autonomy, and what it could look like to create a life and business that actually belongs to you.   What You Will Learn: How quiet quitting can signal that a corporate role no longer fits. Why a high salary does not always make staying in the wrong environment worthwhile. How resentment can become an early warning sign that it is time to make a change. What the "resento-meter" reveals about frustration, resentment, exhaustion, and rage. Why intentional planning can create a bridge from corporate to consulting. How women can think about different ways out, including starting, buying, or owning a business. Why being the "CEO of yourself" can change how you approach your career and future. How staying too long can lead to having a career decision made for you through layoffs, restructuring, or termination. Why leaving corporate does not necessarily mean abandoning financial security or earning potential. How autonomy can become part of the next chapter after corporate.
