People-oriented people are often the ones who end up in ministry. And as people-oriented people, we'll do anything to protect our relationships with our staff (or, rather, we'll avoid anything that would disrupt them). And yet, we are called to lead each person God has placed in our care. And part of leadership is management. We're starting a new series called “Management Is Not a Dirty Word,” where we'll share practical tools every ministry needs to have in its tool belt to lead healthy, effective and winning teams. In this episode on leadership and management, Amy had the opportunity to sit down with Lance Witt, longtime friend of The Unstuck Group, founder of Replenish ministries and author of the book High-Impact Teams: Where Healthy Meets High Performance.

Hiring your first VA shouldn't feel like trial by fire. Yet for most entrepreneurs, the process is stressful, disappointing, and downright painful. In this episode of Sales is Not a Dirty Word, I sit down with Kris Ward, the creator of the Win the Hour, Win the Day philosophy, to talk about how to finally build a team that supports your business instead of draining it. Kris has helped thousands of entrepreneurs escape the cycle of overwork by teaching them how to hire, onboard, and lead virtual assistants in a way that actually works. Inside this conversation, you'll learn: ✔ Why most VA hires fail (and how to avoid it) ✔ The 12-step hiring process Kris uses with a 90% retention rate ✔ The difference between assigning work vs. delegating (and why it matters) ✔ How to build systems that give you freedom, not more stress ✔ Why leadership is a learned skill — not something you're born with If you've ever thought “it's easier to just do it myself,” this episode will show you a smarter, simpler way to grow your team and get your time back.
Nobody likes being told what to do. From toddlers throwing tantrums to grown adults rolling their eyes at laws, bosses, teachers, or even pastors, our hearts resist authority. And yet Peter writes to Christians living under Nero — a cruel emperor who lit believers on fire — and says, “Be subject for the Lord's sake.”Why would God call us to something that feels so unnatural? In this passage, we find three reasons why submission is actually a good thing: it silences critics, it honors the Lord as our true Master, and it follows the footsteps of Jesus who suffered for us.Join us as we discover why submission isn't weakness but witness, and why it's not a dirty word but a beautiful part of following Christ.#1Peter2 #Submission #HoriconBaptistChurch #IsSubmissionReallyADirtyWord #FaithComesByHearing
Most businesses think the sale ends once the contract is signed. In reality - that's just the beginning. In this episode of Sales is Not a Dirty Word, I break down why client retention and upselling are the biggest untapped sources of revenue for service providers — and how to build a system that keeps clients investing with you long after the first sale. Too many founders chase new clients while ignoring the ones they've already won. As a result, they have unpredictable revenue from month to month that keeps them on edge and burnt out. There's a much easier way to create predictable revenue with less effort than constantly chasing new leads. Inside this episode you'll learn: ✔ Why fulfillment should be even stronger than your sales process ✔ How to design entry-level offers that naturally lead to bigger investments ✔ A framework for “pre-selling” upsells inside your proposals ✔ The secret to client meetings that reinforce value and set up the next step ✔ Why your existing clients should account for the majority of your revenue If you're stuck on the new client hamster wheel, this episode will show you how to finally grow revenue without burning out chasing cold leads.

How often do you feel like you're living your life for everyone else? Always showing up. Always giving. Always putting your own needs last. It's easy to slip into that role without even realizing it — until one day you wake up and realize you're not living as the main character in your own story.

At some point, every sales team has experienced a “sales diva” You know the type: the top-performing rep who plays by their own rules. They cherry-pick leads, dodge meetings, ignore the CRM, and expect special treatment because of past wins. It starts small and it's a slippery slope into a toxic preferential culture that can hurt the other sales reps performers. In this episode of Sales is NOT a Dirty Word, I reveal why “sales divas” quietly destroy team culture, stall long-term growth, and keep founders stuck in a cycle of dependency. More importantly, you'll learn how to break the pattern before it sabotages your revenue.

If your team feels uneven, cutthroat, or overly dependent on one high performer, this episode will show you how to reset your sales culture, protect your revenue, and build a team that wins together. #SalesIsNotADirtyWord #SalesLeadership #SalesCulture #SalesTeamPerformance #SalesManagementTips #SalesStrategy #HighPerformingTeams #AuthenticSelling #SalesCoaching #LeadYourTeam #ServiceProviderSales #SalesProcessFix

Most people think brand deals are only for influencers with millions of followers, but that couldn't be further from the truth. This week on Sales is NOT a Dirty Word, I sit down with Justin Moore — sponsorship coach, author, and founder of Creator Wizard — to talk about how creators, experts, and entrepreneurs of all sizes can land sponsorships without selling their soul to shady managers or chasing viral fame. Justin has personally earned over $5 million in sponsorships, run an influencer marketing agency that's helped creators earn millions more, and now he's on a mission to help creators land 1 million paid brand partnerships by 2032. His experience on both sides of the table gives him an insider's perspective on how brands choose who to work with and why they pass on others. In this episode, you'll learn: ✔ Why you don't need a massive following to get paid sponsorships ✔ The “Sponsorship Continuum” and how to pitch differently at each stage of your journey ✔ The hard truth about managers and why 99% of creators don't need one ✔ How to avoid predatory contracts and keep ownership of your content ✔ Why niche creators often make more than “big name” influencers ✔ The biggest myths about sponsorships and what brands actually value most If you've ever thought sponsorships were out of reach for you, this episode will change your perspective — and give you a roadmap to start earning through brand partnerships no matter your audience size.

In this episode of Sales is NOT a Dirty Word, I break down the steps to creating a pitch deck that actually converts, including: ✔ The top 3 pitch deck mistakes that cost you sales ✔ How to build a slide sequence that keeps prospects leaning in ✔ Why most follow-ups fail and how to fix yours ✔ The secret to making a sales presentation interactive ✔ A proven way to position features without losing attention If you want your pitch deck to finally drive conversions instead of crickets, this episode is the blueprint. #SalesIsNotADirtyWord #PitchDeckTips #SalesPresentation #SalesStrategy #CloseMoreDeals #SalesProcessFix #AuthenticSelling #BlackSheepSales#EntrepreneurSales #SalesCoaching #ServiceProviderSales #SalesWithoutPressure #PresentationSkills #SalesTraining #SalesLeadership
