Podcasts about enterprising woman

In this episode of The Crazy Ex-Wives Club, I sit down with certified family law specialist, parenting coordinator, and podcast host Jaime Davis—aka the woman rewriting the rules on how to divorce without destroying your life (or each other). With over 20 years in the legal trenches, Jaime shares the five key steps to navigate divorce in a way that preserves your sanity, your bank account, and—most importantly—your kids' wellbeing.From gathering documents before emotions detonate, to choosing your “divorce dream team,” to letting go of that wedding china (yes, really), Jaime's wisdom is a must-listen for anyone in the thick of it. We talk about co-parenting dynamics, emotional landmines, and why fighting over a Dyson vacuum isn't worth the therapy bills. Whether you're just starting to ask “is this the end?” or you're deep in the paperwork, Jaime offers a practical, compassionate roadmap forward.This episode is your permission slip to protect your peace and start building your next chapter—without burning everything down first.

Business is easy, people are challenging. During this week's episode of the Intentional Greatness® podcast, my daughter Ali and I share our insights on communication best practices in the workplace. In 2022 things are going to get a lot messier before they get cleaner. It's important to know what employees really want right now and what they're willing to trade to have those things. Throughout our conversation, we discuss core values and how to make sure that someone is a right fit during the hiring process. Finding A Core Value Match Hiring new employees is difficult, but finding the right fit virtually is an entirely new challenge. While many companies work with teams they have never met in person - it can feel impossible to spot the wrong person in a mobile world. Unfortunately, if you don't have the right practices in place - it is a lot easier for someone to fake it. When analyzing if a potential hire aligns with your company's core values, implement core values cards during the hiring process to get a better understanding of where your prospect lies. Not Going Anywhere When you feel attacked in the workplace or are experiencing criticism, it's natural to want to retreat or get defensive. But, there are better and more effective ways to respond. It's important to make sure that everyone involved knows that their concerns were heard, are valid, and most importantly you are not going anywhere. We all have a choice to continue to stay in the circumstance or not. If you're the employee in this situation and are dealing with a superior - you should come to the conversation armed with data. Spend time role-playing the conversation, to eliminate the element of fear. Don't let the conversation be the first time you've talked it through.

Those who know me closely know that I have  “redpill” as my license plate. Outside of the movie The Matrix- a favorite of mine- there is a significance to the Red Pill. Taking the Red Pill is really getting behind the stories we accept that create our realities.   My amazing guest today, Angelique Rewers, is someone who very clearly decided to take the red pill. I met Angelique several years ago and have since watched her grow a massively purposeful and profitable Inc 5000 company. She is a prime example of someone who has taken her strengths and purpose and leveraged them at the highest level. She is the CEO and founder of BoldHaus and has built a global online community of more than 35,000 business owners worldwide. She serves on the Advisory Board for Space for Humanity and is on the committee for the Women's Peace & Humanitarian Fund. She has spent time with Richard Branson and participates in his non profit. And alongside all of this she is a mom of twins who has built a remarkable life for her family.   In this interview we talk about how developing a higher state of consciousness, and prioritizing fulfillment and purpose can create quantum leaps in your business and your life.   What You'll Learn in This Episode:   The most important question to ask yourself when seeking transformation What “Entrepreneurial Amnesia” is and how it affects your business One of the most common causes of paralysis in Entrepreneurs What your “level of consciousness” is and why it even matters The number one business rule that Angelique shares with all her clients Unpacking trauma, vulnerability, and healing as a necessary process in entrepreneurship The root problem leading to the Great Resignation and what to do about it Creating healthy self-identity as a business owner How to prioritize with integrity in times of crisis Purposeful pivoting and meeting your clients immediate needs   Bio:Angelique Rewers is the bold, always blunt, and unapologetic CEO and founder of BoldHaus, an Inc. 5000 company. BoldHaus is an advocate for helping both small enterprises and self-employed professionals win corporate clients.

Having successfully navigated all sides of the corporate buying table for more than 20 years — including hiring more than 300+ vendors and service providers and landing her own corporate clients — she has a direct understanding of how decision-makers make decisions, and more importantly, what they look for when hiring outside experts. Angelique launched her first consulting business in 2006, which received regional, national and international awards for its corporate-facing work. Then in 2010, she launched BoldHaus (formerly known as The Corporate Agent), which she grew in just three short years to be among the top 2% of women-owned businesses in the United States. Through BoldHaus' platform, Angelique has built a global online community of more than 35,000 business owners worldwide. Under her leadership, BoldHaus has trained and mentored more than 10,000 small business owners across more than seventy-two countries. Her groundbreaking global conferences bring entrepreneurs together with major brands such as Coca-Cola, UPS, AT&T, Accenture, Intel, IBM, HP, Marriott, Chevron, Major League Baseball, and many more, helping both sides learn how to work together more effectively. Angelique has served as a trainer and consultant for USAID, National Geographic, and The Smithsonian organizations, mentoring innovators across Africa, Asia, and the Middle East who are developing technologies to save endangered species and secure water for food production. She was also awarded the honor of serving as Uber's first-ever official mentor and was recognized as an Enterprising Woman of the Year by Enterprising Women Magazine.

Not only did she drop some serious knowledge about winning government contracts, we talked about how those same techniques can be used in the private sector too! This is a conversation you want to catch so hit play now! A little about Kizzy Parks: As a kid, she'd clean golf balls located in an alley behind my friend's house and resell them through a fence to golfers. She used the money to buy FUNYUNS® and Nutty Bars. She always knew she'd become an entrepreneur and earn an advanced degree in psychology. Her entrepreneurial spirit meshed well with her inquisitive nature as an adopted child who always wanted to, and then met, her birth family. Driven to be the successful business owner she always knew she would be. She went on to earn a Ph.D. and establish KPC over a decade ago. Today, she owns and operates multiple businesses and has over $50 million in government contract awards. Through my latest company, GovCon Winners, she helps service-based small business owners learn HOW to win profitable federal government contracts through the powerful CTC technique to grow their bottom line. Based: Miami Beach, FL Kizzy has been awarded over $50M in Federal Government Contracts. KPC serves the United States Federal Government by providing Contract Staffing Services, Professional & IT Services, Professional & Management Development Training, and Curriculum Development.

Episode #33 Life is about connections above and beyond your career. You never know what role someone may play, how you may be able to make a profound difference for them, or how they may be able to help you. If you are already a manager or a team leader of any kind, connections are vital to your success. Business connections let you understand the people you are working with and make it much easier to approach them no matter the topic. Nadine Hack understands the importance of corporate social responsibility goals that companies seek to achieve. For this episode, Hack narrates her broad knowledge on connectedness and the ability to relate to others in a manner that builds them up, encourages, and brings out their highest potential. Be idealistic and realistic simultaneously, allow yourself to dream big, and then translate that vision into achievable projects. People who have healthy connections are also more likely to complete their projects faithfully.

What You Will Learn: How Molly started D2DInc and became involved with the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO) shortly after to seek support and education What pain points D2DInc experienced at the seven-figure mark, and how they made a wildly successful business pivot out of consulting and into government contracts How the business pivot from consulting to contracts took time to implement but made a dramatic difference in the company's growth How the organization prioritized roles when they needed to recruit and hire new team members, and how they have worked to unify their team and its diverse roles What suggestions Molly has for any organization interested in making a business pivot into government purchasing contracts How Molly learned to delegate and begin working on the business rather than in it as the team grew from 8-10 people to over 80 How D2DInc's period of rapid growth caused the company's leadership to be stuck in a reactive mode, and how stabilizing the team allowed them to become more strategic How Molly and her team have developed a strategic meeting cadence that has helped them look ahead and be more intentional How NAWBO has launched a group called the NAWBO Circle specifically for the 3% of women-owned businesses that make more than $1 million in revenue About Molly Gimmel Molly K.

What you'll learn about in this episode: How to avoid burnout and combat it The discipline of forming a habit Mindset shifts to help you stick to goals and build habits Why burnout happens One of the best things you can do when you first wake up in the morning What people need when they're experiencing burnout The Will Smith quote that Sue uses as inspiration Resources: Website: https://www.sayyess.com/ Books: https://www.sayyess.com/books/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suehawkes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/suehawkesyess/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YESScoaching Twitter: https://twitter.com/SueHawkesYESS Share the Goodness: yess.learnworlds.com Dealing With Burnout As we near the end of the pandemic we are finding that more and more people are beginning to experience a feeling of burnout. People are just tired. Tired of their current circumstances and mentally exhausted. While there have been many discussions surrounding burnout – there has not been a lot of talk focused on ways to combat it. During our conversation, my daughter, Ali, and I share insights into what we really need when we're experiencing burnout and how to avoid it altogether. Finding Peace Within Habits If you're experiencing burnout due to overexertion or being overworked, one of the first things you should do is take better care of yourself. It may feel impossible to dedicate time to things like movement or meditation – but it's necessary. You have to make the choice to do the things you don't want to do for the lasting effects. When forming habits it's important to look back and think about how you've felt doing this in the past. Healthy habits are not about instant gratification. The Power Within When you feel burned out, it's likely because you are sick of doing the same things that don't fuel you or fulfill you. When you feel this way, it's important to remember that you are in control. You have the power to change your behavior, surroundings, or anything else that does not serve you. We put too much emphasis on what we think we should be doing, instead of what we need. In order to truly exile burnout – we must start paying attention to the things that make us feel good and do more of that.

Why? Because, people are either doing really well or not good at all. Many people are finding themselves disconnected. It doesn't matter if people are working from home or in the office, that feeling can still occur. The only way to solve this problem is to begin asking ourselves bigger, deeper, and richer questions. In this episode of the Intentional Greatness podcast, Sue shares her thoughts on the importance of these crucial questions and how she plans to help you answer them with upcoming changes to the podcast. Adding Value Most people want to have a business that serves their life and their purpose. But, they aren't sure how to make it happen. No one actually wakes up each day wanting to make things difficult or cause pain. People live their lives wanting to add value, make an impact, and benefit others. At the end of the day, all anyone really wants is to leave a legacy in the world. Sue shares her thoughts on creating an impactful life on this episode of the Intentional Greatness podcast. The Truth About Leadership Moving forward, the Intentional Greatness podcast will have episodes focused on leadership. You'll hear conversations about what it means to touch hearts while helping people move forward. During this episode, Sue explains what leadership actually means. She breaks down qualifiers for leadership and the difference between a leader and an influencer.

While we are still on a journey of understanding and evolving our work lives, we have an opportunity to create a better work culture. My daughter, Ali Stieglbauer, is joining us once again to discuss work culture in our new normal. During our conversation, Ali and I share insights about what work culture really is and how we can maintain it, even while distanced. Creating the Rules of Engagement Work culture can really be defined as the core values and guidelines that everyone agrees to follow. These rules are typically unwritten and picked up on from behavioral cues and norms. When we are no longer having a shared experience in the office, we miss out on these behavioral cues – leaving everyone to make it up as they go! It's crucial to set standards and guidelines through meeting frameworks and regular communication. Finding Discipline Prior to 2020, most employers couldn't imagine allowing their employees to work from home. Many thought they wouldn't be able to trust that their employees were actually working. They weren't sure how they would be able to hold them accountable. Surprisingly, productivity has largely increased. Employees find that they really need to show up and get results, as a way to showcase their work.

What you'll learn about in this episode: What it means to dance backwards in heels How to deal with the lack of credit where credit is due for women in the workplace What we can do to persevere without being perceived as pushy or angry Practices for success when the odds are stacked against you Why you need to go after what you deserve no matter what How to gain leverage when you have to make difficult decisions How to reframe your perspective and identify your pathway to success Resources: Course: https://yess.learnworlds.com/course/chasing-perfection-sampler Learning Community: https://yess.learnworlds.com/ Website: https://www.sayyess.com/ Books: https://www.sayyess.com/books/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suehawkes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/suehawkesyess/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YESScoaching Twitter: https://twitter.com/SueHawkesYESS The Decision of Worthiness Chapter seven of “Chasing Perfection” is called “Backward and in Heels,” paying homage to Ginger Rogers' ability to match Fred Astaire's skill while dancing backward in heels. This is a common theme in the workplace because women are often forced to do more with less and to settle for less than a man would. We have to do twice the work for half the credit, all while being dismissed as pushy for persevering. In this episode of Intentional Greatness, Ali and I dissect the notion of dancing backward in heels, and we explore the practices that will bring you success when the odds are stacked against you. Go After What You Deserve Confidence is a major part of success in your personal and professional lives. You need to allow and tolerate what YOU think you deserve in every situation. Go after what you deserve no matter what, even if the task is easier for someone else than it might be for you. Everything you have in your life is a direct correlation to how you see yourself and what you believe you're worth. When you take on that perspective, I believe it gives you leverage when you have to make difficult decisions. Once you make the decision of internal worthiness, you will begin to look for the external factors and draw connections. Define Your Reality Unfortunately, “backward and in heels” is a reality that many women accept. The good news is you have the power to reframe that reality with a new perspective. Success is looking at a challenging situation and asking yourself who you need to become to succeed. The transformation that takes place en route to your goal is where the real success stems from. It is that old cliche, “it's about the journey, not the destination.” By learning to be present, defining your reality, and persevering no matter what it takes, you will achieve success like you've never seen before.

What you'll learn about in this episode: How to manage the balance of strength and vulnerability as a leader What vulnerability means in a leadership context Why leaders don't have time to worry about what others think Excellence vs. perfection in leadership How to get out of the weeds and find clarity so you can overcome leadership challenges How to control the emotions and thoughts you assign to a particular situation or event The emergence of feminine leadership Resources: Course: https://yess.learnworlds.com/course/chasing-perfection-sampler Learning Community: https://yess.learnworlds.com/ Website: https://www.sayyess.com/ Books: https://www.sayyess.com/books/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/suehawkes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/suehawkesyess/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/YESScoaching Twitter: https://twitter.com/SueHawkesYESS The Core Strengths of Leadership The global pandemic and extensive period of racial/political unrest have made it evident that strong leadership is difficult to come by. As a leader, it is important to be vulnerable with your team members, but you also have to assume a position of strength so your team has faith in tomorrow. This is a delicate balancing act that requires so much time and energy in periods of crisis. But with the right mindset, as well as a keen understanding of strength and vulnerability, you can become a resilient leader under any circumstances. In this episode of the Intentional Greatness podcast, Ali and I discuss the topics of strength and vulnerability in leadership so you can find balance within your own team. Owning Your Mistakes Vulnerability is admitting what you don't know, owning up to your mistakes, and being honest when you're scared or unsure instead of pretending. It is extremely hard to make ourselves vulnerable because as leaders, many of us have conditioned ourselves to conceal our imperfections. There is a great deal of fear associated with vulnerability, and when we show any signs of self-doubt, it feels like we are jeopardizing the image we've spent so long developing. Honesty puts us at risk of being exposed as a fraud, but when we make decisions based on what other people think, the outcome is often much worse. Authenticity and humility are key to strong leadership, and vulnerability is the bridge that connects them. Excellence and Perfection When we become vulnerable, we are in one of our most powerful states because we are present, authentic, and exceedingly human. The strange thing is that when we make ourselves vulnerable, we often feel weak and exposed. It is not a bad thing, it is just something we have to get used to. Vulnerability is a state in which we can create powerful connections, and that it is key to achieving excellence. Perfection is about managing other people's perceptions; excellence is about managing the problem itself. No matter what happens in the face of adversity, you've made it through enough mistakes and survived to make it through the next challenge.

It wasn't an easy year by any means, but it gave many of us the time we needed to reset and recalibrate. As we prepare for what's ahead in 2021, we have an opportunity to recognize how far we've come and let go of everything that is holding us back. We need to dig deep and find that sense of optimism, because optimism is the key to resilience. My daughter, Ali Stieglbauer, is joining us once again to provide an additional perspective to this discussion. During our conversation, Ali and I share insights about what we are doing to stay resilient so we can push forward in these difficult times. Finding Inward Optimism “15 Days to Slow the Spread” quickly turned into ten months of uncertainty with no end in sight. We continue to do our part, but at the same time, most of us are DONE with this! We are beaten down, tired, out of jobs, and bored out of our minds. Yet, we still feel the pressure to wake up every morning and bring our best selves to every interaction. The reality is that these are not normal times. There is a lot more weight on our shoulders, but there is also a lot more time to deal with it. We need to step back and rest to process everything that is happening. We have been following most of the pandemic protocols for a long time now—they are unfortunately becoming second nature. So use your rest days as a chance to figure out what is really making you tired. If you can address that, you will be significantly more resilient. Consistency vs. Certainty The hard truth that many fail to realize is that we've never had certainty in our lives. All of us have been dealing with uncertainty long before the pandemic took place. We lived our lives with consistency, stability, and the illusion of control, and there is comfort in those things. At the same time, we can still find ways to create consistency and stability to find some sense of normalcy in these strange times. When we draw the separation between certainty and consistency, it becomes easier to move forward.

What you'll learn about in this episode: The different coping mechanisms you can use to stay in the driver's seat as you navigate the crisis Why spending too much time in the past, present, or future can impact your thoughts and feelings How to overcome the fears produced by living in the past How to ground yourself in the present with what is constant and true How to navigate the worry and complexity of the future Resources: Book: Chasing Perfection by Sue Hawkes and Ali Stieglbauer Whole Life Challenge website: https://www.wholelifechallenge.com/ Maximizing Success Journal: Text JOURNAL7 to 44222 Stay in the Driver's Seat Widespread uncertainty is sweeping the nation in the height of the COVID-lockdown. It is not good for human beings, and too much uncertainty subjects us to a wide range of emotions we didn't ask for. I have been thinking about different ways we can cope with these emotions. Most of us experience life in the past, present, and future. But if you spend too much time in any of them, it will start to shape your thoughts and emotions. You will experience fear if you are focused on the past. The past causes us to second guess our decisions and hopelessly run through all of the alternative scenarios. We can't live there. We have to let the past inform us so we can move forward prepared. Normally, we strive to live in the present. But right now, it is a state that we almost can't escape. In the current state of the pandemic, we are making decisions for the future without enough time to process them. The overwhelming input makes it difficult to actively seek opportunities. It leads to decision fatigue, where the decisions are ultimately made for us. And finally, the future produces a sense of worry if we spend too much time there. This pandemic is unprecedented, so we are going to make mistakes. For many of us, the field of vision is limited. We are overwhelmed by the unknown and the complexity of our situations, but thoughts come before feelings. The present is where you get grounded, and it is where you find what is constant and true. For business owners, this has to do with who you are and the business you're in. That stuff never changes, so lean into it. Set an overarching goal, make a plan, and execute. You have the ability to stay in the driver's seat if that is where you want to be.

What you'll learn about in this episode: How I am responding to the global pandemic at home and at work How to be an effective leader in times of crisis How to develop a digital workflow Tips for structuring your day as you work remotely The importance of maintaining professional practices and habits despite being at home How to stay connected with your friends, family, and peers to avoid a sense of isolation Resources: Book: Chasing Perfection by Sue Hawkes and Ali Stieglbauer Whole Life Challenge website: https://www.wholelifechallenge.com/ Maximizing Success Journal: Text JOURNAL7 to 44222 Clarity and Control in a Global Pandemic Along with many of you, I was forced to adapt my business to the crazy changes happening around us. We are learning to navigate new challenges that test our ability to think, collaborate, and problem-solve. But we have to remember that we've never encountered something like this before. Our best option is to focus on things we can control because small victories will pull us through this. We have to become resilient leaders who are confident in our decisions, and we have to write a new playbook because the answers we seek don't exist. I put together some of my thoughts in hopes that they will help you take control of every facet of your life during these difficult times. Manage your family and home first. With everyone back from school and work, household chaos is the only chaos you can control. Figure out where you best serve your team members and clients as everyone operates remotely. Reprioritize and rescope as you get new information. Being nimble, responsive, and flexible is a necessity. Structure your day-to-day around your ‘new normal.' Maintain your daily regiment to avoid getting sloppy or unmotivated. Develop your digital workflow. Digital work can be taxing, so make sure you set up shop in an ideal work environment breaks and stop-times mapped out for each day. Form practices and habits that make your new work environment more sustainable. Seek inspiration, joy, and collaboration to maintain a positive digital work environment. Stay connected with your peers, friends, and family to diminish the sense of isolation. Go through your spreadsheets and make sure all of your autopay and nonessential services are paused until we gain a better understanding of how this situation will play out.

How we can discover and reveal to ourselves our purpose and our core values. 7. Why we should be setting goals that are in alignment with our core values. 8.

Do you ever sit down at the end of a long day of work, after checking box after box off your to-do list and still think, wow, I have so many more things I should get done. This feeling of overwhelm is common for small business owners and mompreneurs alike and it’s the reason today’s guest, Tonya Dalton, was inspired to write her new book, The Joy of Missing Out.    You may remember Tonya from Episode 26 of Proof to Product, where she shared her start-up story of founding inkWELL Press and how she built systems and processes for both work and home. Since then, Tonya has been featured on Real Simple, Entrepreneur, Inc., Apartment Therapy, Lauren Conrad, and HGTV. In 2019, Tonya received the  Enterprising Woman of the Year Award and was named North Carolina's Female Entrepreneur to Watch by The Ladders. Tonya is truly a productivity expert and has made it her mission to help other women reduce and remove the overwhelm in their lives through her inkWELL Press products, liveWELL Method Course, Productivity Podcast, and book that comes out October 1st.    On today's episode, Tonya takes us behind the scenes of The Joy of Missing Out. She shares her motivations for writing the book, why she chose to weave stories in as lessons, and the power of saying yes and no. I also discuss a personal story of my own that Tonya shares in her book. If you’re looking for ways to reduce overwhelm in your life and carve out more time for the things that matter most, this one's for you!   ON TODAY’S EPISODE:  What inspired Tonya to write The Joy of Missing Out The importance of being raw and honest Where to start when you get feel caught spinning in circles  How to identify your priorities and true North Star Misconceptions about what’s urgent vs important Letting go of the idea of balance to embrace the idea of movement Advice for coping with feelings of guilt The value of free-time and white space to boosting productivity Ultradian rhythm is and why it’s important  How Tonya uses her white-space and free time The sandwich strategy and how to use it Tools, resources and bonuses being released with The Joy of Missing Out  KEY TAKE-AWAYS:   “We're overwhelmed by our tasks, overwhelmed by our own to-do list. And I wanted women to see that it is possible to live the life you want and to achieve greatness without spreading yourself so thin, without making yourself do everything.” - Tonya Dalton  “It's not always easy to say no, to live with intention, or to let go of the guilt that we feel making these choices. And I think was really important to just be raw and honest about that.”  - Tonya Dalton  “The best teachers are those that have been through difficult times and are open to sharing both how they got through it as well as the messy parts of dealing with it.” - Katie Hunt “None of us get through life with all successes, without any failures. It's the things that we stumble on, the things that we fail at, those are the things that make us resilient.” - Tonya Dalton “Instead of trying to go the 50 different steps, why not choose to do five? Why not do less and focus in on what's important.” - Tonya Dalton “If everything is perfectly equal and even, there's no movement. You have to have some imbalance in order to move forward.” - Tonya Dalton “I think that's the problem is when we are trying to do everything, we end up doing nothing.” - Tonya Dalton “The biggest mistake some people make is thinking periods of rest are a reward for great work, but periods of rest are actually a requirement for great work to happen. We need some white space in our lives, some breathing room where we can actually innovate and be creative.” - Tonya Dalton “Often the grace we give to others far exceeds the grace we give ourselves.” - Tonya Dalton “I am so guilty of putting out the fires and letting that pull focus, because it's right in front, whether it's my kids or my team or whatever it is. But using the priority list over the to-do list recently has shifted my mindset around that.” - Katie Hunt LINKS Website: https://inkwellpress.com/ Facebook: http://facebook.com/tonyaidalton Instagram: https://instagram.com/tonya_i_dalton Twitter: https://twitter.com/tonya_i_dalton Book: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1400214335   SUBSCRIBE To subscribe on iOS, go to the iTunes page and subscribe to Proof to Product.

Very rarely does a sale simply fall into your lap. Sales is a process that requires patience, time and follow-up as you build long-term relationships with prospects. And if your company protects those relationships, you will be rewarded with a predictable pipeline moving forward. Caryn Kopp is the Chief Door Opener at Kopp Consulting, known for helping her clients secure initial meetings with high-level decision-makers at top-tier companies like Pfizer, GE, Merck, Time Warner, Target, and CBS, among many others. Kopp's team of experienced senior business developers assist clients in finding the right prospects, and then they follow the sales team through the process. Kopp Consulting is recognized on the Inc. 5000 list as one of the fastest growing private firms in the country. Kopp is a best-selling author and nationally recognized speaker who has appeared in Inc., Fortune Magazine, Forbes and Newsweek. She has been named one of the Top 25 NJ Leading Women Entrepreneurs as well as Enterprising Woman of the Year. Kopp is passionate about helping business leaders understand the blind spots in the sales process and offering critical strategies for getting Business Development right. Today she shares the details of her Door Opener service, how to overcome objections, and the importance of understanding your sales cycle. Listen and learn to create a culture where follow-up is valued and to develop a predictable pipeline.   Key Interview Takeaways Ensure that your messaging doesn't suck. Differentiate your marketing copy (which is meant for the masses) from your sales copy (which speaks to a single person), and use the right language to move prospects from awareness to action. Anticipate objections and know the answers. For example, if your prospect already has a contract in your area, find out when the contract review period happens and whether the company is happy with their current provider. Understand ‘sales cyclenomics.' A true sales cycle involves a series of conversations with a number of stakeholders, and that takes time. If you don't really know the length of your sales cycle, everything you judge your metrics against may be incorrect. 98% of salespeople give up before the sales cycle has run its course. A sales team must protect their pipeline by thinking strategically and maintaining relationships-in-progress. Create a culture where follow-up is valued. If your company only compensates salespeople for meeting a quota at the end of Q1, that doesn't lend itself to building long-term relationships. And you need long-term relationships to build a predictable pipeline moving forward. Kopp Consulting's Door Opener Service helps companies develop the right messaging to get the tough doors open. A senior level business developer then watches how the salespeople carry the ball from that initial meeting through the process, and report any issues they may uncover along the way.
