Schmerz, Impact, Entscheidung: Kundenqualifizierung mit der SPICED Methode Kundenqualifizierung Wenn Angebote versanden und Forecasts wackeln, fehlt oft eine saubere Qualifizierung. Deshalb zeige ich dir, wie du mit der SPICED Methode Kundenqualifizierung Gespräche fokussierst, Prozesse glasklar strukturierst und dadurch schneller zu belastbaren Entscheidungen kommst. Warum SPICED? Statt Bauchgefühl nutzt du eine gemeinsame Sprache im Team – vom Erstkontakt bis zum Closing. Dadurch entsteht eine realistische Pipeline, während Ressourcen zielgerichtet eingesetzt werden. Außerdem ist SPICED leicht trainierbar und passt besonders gut zu modernen B2B-, SaaS- und Service-Sales-Cycles. So funktioniert SPICED in der Praxis S = Situation: Kontext, Branche, Teamgröße, Tools, Prozesse. P = Pain: Was tut wirklich weh – und warum gerade jetzt? I = Impact: Welche Kosten, Risiken oder Umsatzverluste entstehen, wenn nichts passiert? CE = Critical Event: Welcher Stichtag zwingt zur Entscheidung? D = Decision: Wer entscheidet nach welchen Kriterien – und wie genau läuft der Prozess? Mein Gesprächs-Leitfaden 1) Schmerz messbar machen (Euro, Zeit, Risiko). Dadurch erhöhst du die Relevanz. 2) Impact verankern (Business Case, Priorität, Budget). Zudem schaffst du Commitment. 3) Critical Event sichern (Meilensteine, Deadlines). Somit entstehen klare Next Steps. 4) Decision Map klären (Personen, Kriterien, Prozess). Anschließend vereinbarst du verbindliche Aktionen statt „Wir melden uns“. SPICED vs. MEDDIC Beide helfen dir zu qualifizieren. Allerdings ist MEDDIC oft im Enterprise-Umfeld stärker, während SPICED mit Kundenzentrierung und Tempo punktet. Entscheidend ist Konsistenz: Wähle eine Methode, bilde sie im CRM ab, trainiere sie regelmäßig – und halte dich daran. Dadurch steigen Forecast-Qualität und Abschlussquote. Quick-Check für deine Top-Deals Kennst du den Schmerz und kannst ihn beziffern? Darüber hinaus: Gibt es ein Critical Event, das Handeln erzwingt? Ist der Decision-Prozess transparent? Wenn ja, hast du grünes Licht. Wenn nein, dann schärfe nach – oder disqualifiziere fair, damit du Zeit für die richtigen Opportunities gewinnst. Fazit Mit der SPICED Methode Kundenqualifizierung gewinnst du Klarheit, verkürzt Zyklen und erhöhst deine Abschlussquote. Zudem sorgt ein trainiertes Team für wiederholbare Ergebnisse. Deshalb: Verankere Fragenkataloge in jedem Funnel-Step – und verwandle gute Gespräche in planbaren Umsatz.

Gott hat dich nicht fürs Burn-out geschaffen – und Stress ist keine Frucht des Geistes. Sein Plan für ein erfülltes Leben ist überraschend simpel: ein gesunder Rhythmus aus Arbeit, Ruhe und echter Freude. Predigt von Pastor Gideon Illner am Sonntag, 21.09.2025.Doch wir haben ihn aus den Augen verloren, getrieben von Leistungsdruck und der ständigen Jagd nach „mehr“. In dieser Serie entdecken wir Gottes ursprüngliche Idee für Arbeit und Ruhe und wie wir sie heute zwischen Deadlines und Smartphones leben können. Im dritten Teil „Mit Gott ruhen“ geht's darum, Gottes Schöpfung zu feiern und zu genießen. Ruhe ist kein Kontrast zur Arbeit, sondern deren Vollendung.

Shawn Dsouza: The Marathon Mindset—Building Agile Teams That Last Beyond Sprint Deadlines Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Shawn defines himself as a "people-first Scrum Master" who measures success not through metrics but through daily interactions and team growth. He contrasts two teams: one that hit deadlines but lacked collaboration (unsustainable success) versus another that struggled with deadlines but excelled in conversations and continuous improvement (sustainable growth). For Shawn, protecting deep work and fostering genuine team collaboration indicates true success. He emphasizes that product development is a marathon, not a sprint, and warns that lack of meaningful conversations will inevitably lead to team problems. In this segment, we refer to the book Clean Language by Sullivan and Rees.  Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sprint Awards Shawn champions the Sprint Awards retrospective format, moving beyond viewing retrospectives as just another Scrum event to recognizing them as critical team development opportunities. In this format, team members give awards to colleagues for various contributions during the sprint, with each award recipient explaining why they were chosen. Shawn prefers face-to-face, offline retrospectives and always starts with ice breakers to gauge how the team feels—whether they feel heard and connected. He believes in experimenting with different retrospective formats since no single approach works for every situation.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Ever feel like running your agency is just one long grind of “good enough” projects, endless deadlines, and late-night work sessions? Most agency owners start out chasing freedom, only to find themselves trapped by clients, culture challenges, and their own workaholic habits. Today's featured guest is certainly familiar with this cycle, so how was he able to build a business that works for him instead of the other way around? By focusing on clarity, culture, and constant evolution. Dan Fisher is the founder of Bottle Rocket Media, a Chicago-based video production and digital marketing firm. Before running his agency, Dan spent a decade in television, including a long stretch as an editor at The Oprah Winfrey Show. What started as “making a few videos for people” turned into a full-fledged agency after his partner joined. Today, Bottle Rocket Media blends storytelling with digital strategy to help brands communicate with impact. In this episode, we'll discuss: Data meets creativity. The agency he “thought he should build” Culture as a compass. Redefining work and energy.

He was a New York kid, worked on TV production in LA, and then got tapped on the shoulder for a gig at Oprah. When he landed in Chicago, he figured he'd be there a couple of years. Ten years later, he had a family, a house, and roots that weren't going anywhere. After leaving TV (not a moment too soon, according to him), he just started making videos for people. Then his partner came on board, and suddenly it was more than a side hustle. It was a real business. That's when Dan realized he was no longer just a TV guy—he was running an agency. What TV Taught Him About Storytelling TV wasn't all glitz. Dan loved the storytelling, the cameras, the lights. However, running a daily show can crush even the strongest souls. Deadlines piled on top of deadlines. Three to four episodes a week meant three to four immovable deadlines every week. Still, it gave him his 10,000 hours. He learned how to tell stories fast, direct, edit, and manage creative teams. Most importantly, TV taught Dan the importance of knowing your audience. At Oprah, there was always an “audience of one”—Oprah herself. He'd have the version he wanted to tell, and then the version she'd actually approve. That lesson carried into agency life: storytelling isn't about you, it's about your client. You're not making an indie film; you're telling their story in a way that serves their brand. The Continual Evolvement of Creativity Bottle Rocket Media isn't trying to be Hollywood. They focus on nonfiction storytelling, documentary-style content, education-driven pieces, spokespeople, and commercial spots. What makes their approach stand out is how they marry creative instincts with marketing data. Working in the creative field never ceases to surprise Dan who, even now, expects something to land well with audiences and sees the complete opposite happen. This is why he and his team lean into A/B testing. Sometimes it's the tiniest tweak: a subject line in an email, a color shift in a graphic, or moving the ending to the front of a video. It's a reminder agency owners need: you can be confident in your craft, but the market has the final say. From Filmmaker to CEO When he started, Dan assumed he'd be miserable doing the “operations” side. But mentoring, managing, and building a team turned out to be just as rewarding as calling “action” and “cut.” He's learned the balance between doing and teaching. Having 10,000 hours of experience doesn't mean you always tell the story better than a fresh intern. It means you know how to refine, manipulate, and see perspectives others might miss. At Bottle Rocket Media, they encourage collaboration. Editors critique each other's work. Ideas bounce around. And Dan stays focused on a critical question every creative leader should ask: Am I making it better, or just making it different? From “Good Enough” to Defining Excellence It took Dan years to reach what he calls his maturity, after trying to be “the agency he thought he should be”. Eventually, after banging his head against the wall for a long time, he realized the power of clarity—both personally and professionally. He started the business as a way to make ends meet after leaving TV, but it was time to define his goals with the agency and make it his own. Once he stopped chasing someone else's model and leaned into his own strengths, everything changed. The real turning point wasn't in working harder, but in defining what success actually looked like for him and his team. Culture as a Compass Clarity doesn't just guide you, it's also something you can instill in your team. Once Dan started defining his agency's beliefs, he could attract people who truly fit. To him, if your team is not going in the same direction, then what's the point? But culture hasn't been easy, especially post-pandemic. Bottle Rocket Media runs on a hybrid model: three mandatory in-office days, with Mondays and Fridays remote. For Dan, it was about letting go of his old Gen X “first one in, last one out” mentality and adapting to a younger workforce. The result is a stronger, more unified team—even if they're not physically together every day. Redefining Work and Energy Coming from TV, where it's not rare to work up to 70 hours a week, Dan initially started his agency using the volume model, which is what he knew. Once the business was up and running, his hours were still pretty similar to what he was used in TV. Eventually, however, it got to a point where a trusted employee expressed he was at his breaking point, and Dan knew it was time to dial down. Working beyond a certain limit didn't make him better, it was just making him an ineffective leader. That shift changed how he managed his team, starting by cutting off the bottom 20% and elevating the types of projects they do. This way, with clear goals and clear deadlines, he's building the kind of leadership that creates loyalty and sustainability. Always Be Evolving The agency game changes daily. Right now, AI is shaking up video and digital marketing. What worked yesterday won't always work tomorrow. If you want your agency to survive, curiosity is the ultimate skill. Test, adapt, and don't get too comfortable. That philosophy is why Dan's agency has evolved from purely video into a full digital offering. On the video side, he had to learn how to let go and empower others. On the digital side, he leans entirely on his team's expertise. In both cases, growth depends on staying open to new approaches and trusting the right people to execute them. Do You Want to Transform Your Agency from a Liability to an Asset?

Predigt von Pastor Gideon Illner am Sonntag, 14.09.2025.Gott hat dich nicht fürs Burn-out geschaffen – und Stress ist keine Frucht des Geistes. Sein Plan für ein erfülltes Leben ist überraschend simpel: ein gesunder Rhythmus aus Arbeit, Ruhe und echter Freude.Doch wir haben ihn aus den Augen verloren, getrieben von Leistungsdruck und der ständigen Jagd nach „mehr“. In dieser Serie entdecken wir Gottes ursprüngliche Idee für Arbeit und Ruhe und wie wir sie heute zwischen Deadlines und Smartphones leben können.Im zweiten Teil „Mit Gott arbeiten“ geht‘s darum, Arbeit als Berufung und nicht als notwendiges Übel oder Burn-out zu erleben.

Wisconsin farmers are facing several key updates in crop insurance and risk management this fall, says USDA Risk Management Agency Administrator Patricia Swanson. There's a Sep. 30 deadline looming for fall-planted crops and new provisions under the One Big Beautiful Bill. This includes extending the “beginning farmer and rancher” premium discounts from five to 10 years. Producers are also reminded that DATCP offers $5 per acre in premium assistance for cover crops planted outside of other federal programs. On the insurance side, a new Margin Coverage Option will debut this fall. Beginning in 2026, farmers will see an additional 3-5 percent premium support on underlying policies. Despite a season of weather swings, including a cool, wet spring and midsummer tornadoes, claims in Wisconsin have remained low so far.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Check out my Free Brainstorming Workshop: https://mightyartisan.com/worldbuilding Learn to silence your inner critic. Ignite creative ideas. And watch a live demo of these techniques in action.Artists have this love-hate relationship with deadlines - they stress us out and make us compromise our work, but they also force us to finish things and can actually unlock creative flow.Professional artist deadline anxiety emerges from job descriptions mentioning tight deadlines and high-pressure environments. Most artists worry whether they need to compete purely on speed, creating fear that everyone expects perfection immediately or they won't get employed. This relationship with deadlines becomes particularly challenging in concept art and commercial illustration where strict deadlines are common.This episode explores three key aspects of professional deadlines: why reliability and speed matter as much as quality in professional art careers, the reality of professional environments including crunch culture context and what employers actually expect from new artists, and practical strategies for building speed and meeting industry-specific deadline requirements systematically.The discussion covers how speed functions as a learnable skill rather than inherent talent, why the intersection of quality and speed creates competitive advantages, and frameworks for researching and practicing industry-specific time expectations. Key elements include understanding the speed-quality-cost relationship, building deadline confidence through systematic practice, and recognizing deadlines as completion enablers rather than creativity destroyers.CHAPTERS:00:00 Intro01:44 Welcome03:00 The Professional Artist Anxiety08:38 Why Deadlines Matter in Professional Art23:02 The Reality of Professional Environments  44:28 How to Build Speed and Meet Professional Deadlines01:03:24 The Analytical Takeaway01:07:16 The Simple Takeaway01:07:44 The Practical Takeaway01:15:11 The Philosophical Takeaway01:20:31 OutroThe Visual Scholar Podcast is designed to help you demystify the world of Art, Productivity, and Creativity.

Title: You'll Never Be Ready - So Stop WaitingHost: Jim FrawleyTheme: “Readiness” is a socially acceptable form of procrastination. Action creates readiness; waiting doesn't.Episode SummaryIf you're waiting until it feels safe, you'll wait forever. In this episode, Jim dismantles the myth of “being ready” and shows why we hide behind planning, perfectionism, and permission-based thinking. Through real-world examples-from founders and athletes to new leaders-he outlines how progress happens in motion. You'll leave with concrete tools: the smallest viable action, the 24-hour rule, the five-minute rule, and a practical way to separate skill prep from courage prep so you can finally move on the goals you keep postponing.Key TakeawaysReadiness is often code for wanting safety. Safety isn't coming; momentum is a choice.Planning can be useful, but over-planning becomes fear disguised as productivity.Action before clarity: reality reveals itself only once you start.Separate skill gaps from courage gaps. Skills are trained; courage is exercised.Use deadlines, the 24-hour rule, and five-minute actions to force movement.Permission-based mindsets from school and work do not map to the chaos of real life or business.If you won't act, stop pretending it's a priority-reclaim the mental bandwidth.Timestamps & Chapters00:00 - Cold open: “You're not waiting to be ready-you're waiting for it to be safe.”02:00 - Readiness as socially acceptable procrastination04:10 - The brain's safety bias and fear of social rejection07:00 - Technical comfort vs. relational leadership: why many stall out10:00 - Why life isn't linear: business plans vs. reality12:30 - Action before clarity: the feedback loop that actually builds readiness15:00 - Three examples: founder, athlete, newly promoted leader19:40 - Practical tools: smallest viable action, 24-hour rule, five-minute rule23:30 - Skill prep vs. courage prep26:00 - Deadlines, consequences, and moving past over-preparation28:30 - Closing challenge: if you won't act, take it off the listPractical Tools MentionedSmallest Viable Action: Identify the tiniest step that moves the goal forward now.24-Hour Rule: If you think of it, take some step within 24 hours.Five-Minute Rule: Do one action that takes less than five minutes toward your biggest goal today.Skill vs. Courage Audit: Write two columns-what skills you must train versus what actions require courage.Hard Deadline: Put a real date on the calendar. Commit publicly.Notable Lines“The plan is useful; planning is indispensable-but the plan won't survive first contact with reality.”“Preparation is good. Overpreparation is fear in disguise.”“Courage cannot be preloaded; it can only be exercised.”“Permission isn't coming. Safety isn't coming. Momentum is.”Listener ChallengeWrite down the one goal you've avoided because you're “not ready.”Do one five-minute action toward it in the next 24 hours.Put a hard deadline on the calendar and tell someone who will hold you to it.Recommended Next StepsCreate a two-column Skill vs. Courage list and schedule specific training or actions.Set a recurring weekly reminder for a five-minute momentum task on your top goal.If you keep deferring a project for 90 days, decide to drop it or finally commit.Primary keywords: illusion of being ready, procrastination, perfectionism, action bias, fear of failure, imposter syndrome, executive coaching, leadership development, productivity, goal settingSecondary keywords: minimum viable action, 24-hour rule, five-minute rule, launch small adjust fast, readiness myth

Deadlines aren't just about dates—they're about trust. In this episode, I break down why vague requests like “no rush” or “get it to me Tuesday or Wednesday” set everyone up for confusion and disappointment. If you really need something by Wednesday, say Wednesday. And if you secretly want it by Monday, be honest about that too. Clear, specific deadlines create clarity, reduce stress, and build respect between collaborators. On the flip side, if you're the one receiving work, don't settle for fuzzy timelines—demand clear deadlines so you can prioritize and deliver with confidence.

School districts have a unique opportunity to save money as they transition to electric buses and charging infrastructure. Through the federal 45W Clean Vehicle Credit and 30C Refueling Property Credit, districts can access up to $40,000 per bus and $100,000 per charger—but these tax credits are set to expire soon.In this episode of School Business Insider, John Brucato speaks with Katherine Roboff (World Resources Institute's Electric School Bus Initiative) and Carolina Chacon Mendoza (Alliance for Electric School Buses). They explain eligibility, how elective pay works for tax-exempt entities, and the step-by-step IRS process to claim these funds.We also discuss how districts can combine these tax credits with EPA's Clean School Bus Program and why planning ahead for infrastructure and community engagement is critical. Whether your district is just beginning to explore electrification or already has buses and chargers on order, this episode provides timely, practical guidance to ensure you don't leave money on the table.Resources Mentioned:IRS 45W FAQAlliance for Electric School BusesElectric School Bus Initiative (WRI)Recording and slides from WRI's 45W webinarIRA and CHIPS Act of 2022 Pre-filing Registration Tool (IRS)IRS: Elective Pay and TransferabilityIRS: Elective Pay Pre-Filing ToolLawyers for Good Government — Annotated Tax FormsLawyers for Good Government — Updates to Elective Pay Tax Credits30C Eligible Census Tracts Mapping Tool (ANL)Sample Filing Walkthrough (not tax advice)Contact School Business Insider: Check us out on social media: LinkedIn Twitter (X) Website: https://asbointl.org/SBI Email: podcast@asbointl.org Make sure to like, subscribe and share for more great insider episodes!Disclaimer:The views, thoughts, and opinions expressed are the speaker's own and do not represent the views, thoughts, and opinions of the Association of School Business Officials International.

I've come to see deadlines and metrics not as enemies of the soul, but as potential tools for its play. I mean, why did we even come to this Earth game with all its limitations, like needing to pay rent and all that? Back in the soulful realm, it's all abundance and freedom.

Family, this week on Queer News Anna DeShawn is still celebrating her birthday so we're bringing you something special, a Chicago connection that runs deep. She sat down with singer-songwriter Jim Verraros, who you may remember from the very first season of American Idol, where he made history as the first openly gay contestant on national TV back in 2002. In this candid conversation, Jim reflects on coming out at a time when queer visibility was scarce, the pressures and trauma of reality TV, and how representation has shifted in the 20 years since. We talk about Nico Lang's Rolling Stone exposé on queer Idol contestants, the resilience it takes to return to music after 15 years, and Jim's brand new album Explicit.This is a story about survival, reinvention, and the power of queer joy. Let's get into it.  Want to support this podcast?
