They're definitely not the same as they were two years ago.

Chad moved to the DC area for school, attending the University of Maryland, College Park, where he was a D1 collegiate decathlete in their Track & Field program.  He began his post-collegiate career in the residential remodeling industry, and noticed that it typically took 6 people and multiple touches from each person to help one customer renovate a bathroom.  He understood what may have worked 70+ years ago, just doesn’t work today.  The renovation process needed, well…a renovation. At LivingSocial, Chad experienced the drive and pace of an internet startup environment firsthand.  He was now ready to combine his knowledge of the remodeling industry, his experience in the online marketplace, and his vision for a more efficient customer journey.  Thus he founded and is now CEO of Remodelmate, a managed marketplace for bathroom renovations. Homeowners get plans, permits, materials, and book labor through their site and the entire process is managed by a project concierge to make sure renovations finish on-time and on-budget.

The negotiation process isn’t always easy for a salesperson to navigate. But mastering the process is paramount to your success. The bottom line: if you can’t negotiate well you won’t fare well in anything you do in life. In this episode of Sales Reinvented, Chad Burmeister joins me to talk about some of the parts of the negotiation process that salespeople shy away from—and how to change it.  Chad Burmeister is the Founder and CEO of ScaleX.ai, which promises to deliver an “unfair competitive advantage” by helping your salespeople increase lead frequency and sales competency. He is the author of multiple books, including AI for Sales and Sales Hack. Don’t miss his stellar insight on the negotiation process.  Outline of This Episode [1:29] Our lives are built on negotiation  [1:59] Salespeople aren't comfortable discussing money [4:45] How to master the negotiation process [6:29] Salespeople need to understand the customers’ problem [7:58] Chad’s favorite negotiation closing technique [8:55] Chad’s FUN acronym [11:15] How one negotiation changed Chad’s life The importance of negotiation Chris Voss was the first to make the phrase “everything is a negotiation” popular—and for good reason. Chad points out that nearly everything we do involves negotiation. When you make a purchase, engage in a conversation, or play with your kids, some sort of negotiation is involved. Chad points out that it’s well worth any monetary investment to go from a ‘C’ level negotiator to an ‘A+’. Perhaps that change in status means more bookings, more revenue—maybe even fame and fortune. Whatever it is you’re trying to achieve in life can be benefitted from mastering negotiation.  Understand that the negotiation process means you’ll talk about Money The Objective Management Group has studied close to two million salespeople and found that only 54% are comfortable discussing money. A salesperson NEEDS to be able to comfortably discuss money in the negotiation process—yet most can’t stomach it. Chad sees that as one of the biggest roadblocks to a successful negotiation.  Chad notes that the discomfort associated with discussing money is often associated with the way you were raised. Did your family have money? Were they savers or spenders? Did they avoid discussing money at all? If you can understand your money mindset and buying pattern, you can learn how to master this part of the negotiation process.  Instead of letting a prospect walk away to “look at other vendors” you have to be comfortable pointing out what you discussed. “I thought we’ve discussed your priorities and requirements? You’ll save a million and increase sales by 5.4 million. Why do you need to look at the other vendors?” Chad shares another story about haggling in Mexico that drives the point home—so keep listening.  Roleplay the negotiation process When Chad completed his MBA, he took a class on power, politics, and negotiation. They spent a lot of time role-playing negotiations. Roleplaying in class with other students was the catalyst he needed to learn the negotiation process inside and out.  Aside from consistent practice, Chad recommends taking a class or reading a book—you can even play poker. Learning the art of poker is a great way to learn how to see people’s tells, when they’re exaggerating, etc.  Chad also believes you need to master closing techniques. Instead of “let’s schedule our next step meeting” at the end of a meeting, ask “If I could... would you…?” You’re essentially giving them an option to voice any objections they have to closing the deal in that meeting.  To hear more of Chad’s advice—including his thoughts on gap selling—keep listening! How Chad’s negotiation process changed his life Chad’s second job out of college was with Airborne Express. He had set up a meeting with Uhaul about some packages they had been shipping with USPS They were shipping packages of license plates for $4.50. The Uhaul would meet the USPS truck in whichever state the plates were to be delivered. They send 12,000 of these a month. 10% of the time, the USPS truck didn’t make it in time and the license plates got shipped back. So Chad took the time to dig and find out the impact of the 10% of trucks that were missed. Other than being fined, every once and a while a cop would sometimes pull over Uhaul trucks with expired plates and make them empty the contents from one truck into another. So with the fines, he calculated Uhaul was spending $5.87 to ship the new license plates. Airborne typically charged $6 to ship, but he offered to do it at $5 and demonstrated the total cost of ownership that would save Uhaul money.  Chad won the account—1,000 shipments a month. Then he won the Canadian account, which was 2,000 shipments a month. He went on to become the #1 salesperson at Airborne. Eventually, he got recruited away to a job in southern California where he met his wife and started his family—all because of the outcome of ONE negotiation.  Listen to the whole episode of Sales Reinvented for Chad’s insight on the negotiation process.

Real Estate World | The Real Estate Doctor Chad Nash has been in the real estate world for less than two years and he already has already become an inspiring figure in his discipline. By using an educator-first approach to serve his clients, Chad managed to close thirty transactions and $50M in volume in his first year alone! Everyone who knows Chad knows him as “The Real Estate Doctor” since he combines his advanced education training in economics and data analyses, and professional experiences in philanthropic & community development to give his clients superior customer service and stewardship. His team is growing quickly, and in this episode of Pursuing Freedom, Chad shares some of the practices that helped him achieve early success! Network Your Way Chad might be the first person to ever tell me he fell in love with real estate on the heels of the classes. But coming from a background in education as a senior administrator with Denver Public Schools, it made sense that he found his stride in the classroom. In the real estate world, education and mentorship click with people in different ways. So, it is important that the teachers and resources you encounter align with who you are as a person; not as a realtor. Chad had to work through multiple brokerages and mentors to find the right fit, but there is nothing wrong with that. As long as you are networking in a way that is authentic to you, you can start to establish your credibility as a real estate professional whether it’s with people who know you or people you’ve never met. Reimagine Open Houses To be a great networker in the real estate world, it takes a comprehensive strategy. But where do you start? Open houses? Cold calling? Some of the tactics you dread can be fruitful depending on how you approach them, and Chad has experienced a lot of success using a multi-tiered approach to open-houses. His strategy is built around the concept of social proof and he leverages technology like Facebook live to generate buzz around the work he is doing. He makes video testimonials, posts pictures, and ultimately drums up business by creating a magnetic aura that people can see. Chad’s circle gets to witness the success he is having and they want to be apart of it. But he has always brought that level of energy into his interactions. Now, his real estate strategy and his energy are aligned. About Chad Nash Affectionately known as the “Real Estate Doctor”, Chad is dedicated to educating and empowering his clients to make strategic, informed decisions regarding their real estate needs. He has advanced degrees in Economics and Data Analyses, providing an unparalleled level of knowledge and expertise during all aspects of the real estate partnership with his clients. A Colorado native, Chad has lived all across the Denver Metro area and the Front Range. This enables him to have a very unique and thorough understanding of the varying neighborhoods and communities that his clients might be interested in exploring. He often reflects on how the Mile High City has been transformed from a "dusty, old, cow town" into its current state, where real estate ownership, property development, and community growth opportunities are seemingly endless. Chad has the ability to connect diverse groups of individuals and communities through his relaxed, easy-going personality and genuine love for getting to know and help others. Complemented by a very detailed and data-driven approach to his work, he is a rare breed in the real estate industry. His advanced education training and past professional experiences in philanthropic investing and community development help Chad provide his clients with superior real estate education and customer service. For Chad, real estate is not simply a transaction; it's a tool for creating wealth, freedom, and a lasting legacy. In your partnership with him, he will always treat it as such.

Chad Collins is the co-founder of Open World Events. They have one of the clearest and best tag lines, “We produce massive family events.” In 2014, they launched, Brick Fest Live which is the #1 touring Lego event in the world and brings hands-on Lego attractions and exhibits. They often have more than 20,000 people show up to each of the shows. They launched Minefaire which is an official Minecraft community event that brings Minecraft players together for an immersive experience. They also have the Young Innovators Fair which is a K-12 STEM Event where attendees explore the latest in science and tech. Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: [1:40] Jeremy introduces his guest, Chad Collins. [3:30] Chad talks about his experience exploring Legos and YouTube with his daughter. [6:30] How did Chad grow his YouTube channel’s subscription and views? [11:45] The very first Brick Fest Live event. [14:10] How did Chad navigate the YouTube channel and working a full-time job? [16:45] Chad talks about that moment he quit his day job. [18:20] What was that first event like? What events have they done since then? [22:10] Where did all the event ideas come from? [25:50] What led Chad to decide to expand the number of his events? [29:50] How did Chad connect with his co-founder? [32:45] Chad talks about the special offering he gave to past event attendees. [36:00] Inviting YouTube influencers to events. [38:40] How Chad’s daughter gets involved at events. [42:30] Chad talks about going to baseball games with his son. [47:45] Writing a book, block by block. [57:45] Chad talks about creating ComicCon for kids. In this episode… What does it take to create family-friendly events for the public? Can you really build an entire business model off of creating events that cater to kids and families? On this episode of Inspired Insider, you’ll hear from business leader and innovator, Chad Collins. In his conversation with Jeremy, Chad opens up about exploring YouTube with his daughter, what led them to create their own YouTube channel, how he ended up planning large scale family-friendly events, and much more. Don’t miss a minute of this fascinating episode featuring Chad’s story! Did you know that some of the best ideas are often discovered during the most ordinary tasks? Little did Chad Collins know that playing Legos with his daughter would end up taking him down the path of starting his own business. After Chad had introduced Legos to his daughter, she started exploring YouTube Lego channels. Soon after that, the two created a YouTube channel of their own talking about Legos, unboxing Legos, and engaging with their audience along the way. From that whole experience, Chad noticed that there was an opening in the event space for families like his that wanted a family-friendly event centered on something they loved like Legos. If you are a parent, you know the struggle of trying to find family-friendly events that everyone can enjoy. There are only so many times that you can take your kid to the local zoo, museum, or park. What do you do when you’ve exhausted all of those options? Looking for a local event that they could take their Lego themed YouTube channel to, Chad discovered that there were none in his area. When they couldn’t find any in-state or nearby events, the idea to create their own event started to germinate in Chad’s mind. Soon, Chad found himself connecting with friends and followers to gauge their interest in a Lego-themed event and then the idea started to become a reality. When was the last time you worked so hard on a project that ended up better than you could have ever imagined? Most people will never know the wonderful feeling that comes from taking an idea and building it into a functioning business. For eighteen long months, Chad had worked his day job, then after dinner spent time on his YouTube channel, all the while planning his first event. You might be wondering when Chad would sleep; he’s likely still catching up on those missed hours. But all of his hard work paid off, and Chad was able to finally walk into his boss's office one day and say those words that every budding entrepreneur wants to say, “I quit.” What can you learn from Chad’s story? Do you ever think of what your legacy will be? That might sound a little morbid or pre-mature depending on your age, but the truth is, everyone should consider how they are impacting the world around them, not just in the present. What started as a fun experience with his daughter, Chad has since built it into a thriving business model. They no longer create YouTube videos together, but Chad’s daughter does play an important role in many of their events. As he considers his daughter’s future, Chad is ultimately focused on one thing, helping her succeed.

We may love running now, but not every runner started off enjoying it. Chad Moye hated running for the first 40 years of his life, and as his addiction to drugs became worse and worse, the idea of running for pleasure seemed even less likely. In between drug rehab programs, Chad would see runners in his "home" in Metropolitan park, and would laugh at the short shorts and neon clothes, having no idea that one day he would be one of them. Only when the judges grew tired of his antics and sentenced him to prison time, that Chad realized this was his last chance. The first time Chad ran, he couldn't even make a half mile, but he vowed he was going to make it all the way around the 800m track, and exercise began to change his path. Chad became determined to get fitter by the day, and focus on what he could do with his future. Chad realized that it was not just about the motion of running itself, but everything that comes with it; “It's not just the act of running, it is everything that comes with it, the community, its the training, waking up and going to bed early, watching what you put in your body, looking at your nutrition, it is the lifestyle of being a runner, it is the blueprint of sobriety.” And that is what today's episode is about; the journey of Chad Moye, and how running changed his life, and now he is using runners to help others change their lives too. Today's Guest Chad Moye A homeless, heroin addict, whose bad behavior finally landed him in prison, looking at a sentence of up to 20 years. Chad took the opportunity to turn his life around, and now he is helping others do the same. What You Will Learn About How easily a prescription for painkillers can turn into a serious drug habit (and yes, it can happen to all of us!) How Chad ended up homeless and living his life around his drug addiction The divine intervention that occurred and why he knew this was his last chance to change How exercise and running changed his life and set him free How it felt to cross the finish line of his first 5k How it felt to win a race in the park he had previously lived in when he was homeless   Inspirational Quotes I didn’t understand how physically addicting they can be, mentally too. As time went on, when I would not have them or try to get off them, the withdrawal symptoms would be bad, really bad. I didn't have something at the time to channel my addictive behaviors into something else and it just got worse and worse over the years. I am here to break down the stigma of addicts, the stigma that comes along with addiction, the way other people view us. I know really good people who suffer from addiction. It became a full time job. Every day of my life from waking up, I had to find my fix just to get through the day. I found myself homeless and hopeless, and wondering where do I go from here? They (runners) were out there doing what they loved, free, and here I was, captive of addiction and drugs. I knew this was my last chance. I knew I had to do this right and change. I knew I had to break this addiction and being put away for a little time could be my chance. (The first time he ran) the track we had was about 1/2 mile around, I couldn't even make it around one time, and I was running in crocs…it was painful, I was nauseous, but I knew I wanted to do it again. Not to sound cliche, but I woke up one morning, I was about to go out to the rec yard, I was watching the sun come up and I had my headphones In listening to music and I said, this is it right here. I have no burden. I am in prison, but I am free, this is how I want to be, this is how I want to feel for the rest of my life. I was so relieved to wake up and not have to worry about addiction, the full time job and burden of how am I not going to be sick today? It was freedom at its best in every aspect. It was great to get out and run free. Once I got to the finish line (of his first 5k), thats where it all happened, crossing that finish line for the first time, the people cheering, what time you ran was insignificant, it was about crossing that finish line and the effort you put in yourself. I felt it, I went across, and I was like wow, I love that! That is a high that I like! The finish line was right there in metropolitan park, the same park that I used to spend my homeless days in…I had to take a step back and look at it, realize how far I had come at that point. Its not just the act of running, it is everything that comes with it, the community, its the training, waking up and going to bed early, watching what you put in your body, looking at your nutrition, it is the lifestyle of being a runner, it is the blueprint of sobriety.

A list of the highlights of this conversation doesn't tell the whole story: Chad Miller overcame serious disadvantages to excel in sports, sales and blogging; he has a fruitful marriage; and he had a (literally) striking encounter with a legend of business and politics. You'll hear the difficult lessons in each of those areas: How Chad learned the hard way about the dangers of coasting on talent and getting lost in ego. He now stands firm in his values and his appreciation for relationships and authenticity. That's what led him to contact The Spaniard and become a charter member of AMX-tended. Good thing, because now we get to hear more of Chad's great stories, including his intersections with Hollywood and why you'll find him every Sunday on an NFL sideline!

Every private label seller has dreams of their business going big. But very few think as big as what actually happened for Chad Rubin. Chad’s private label success forced him to create an amazing software solution for his biggest problems. You’re going to hear Chad’s story from the beginning until now - how he built an amazing private label business on Amazon, grew it to monstrous proportions, and then pivoted to create a software that is now leading the way in the ecommerce space. Great ways to discover product ideas that actually sell. One of the most difficult aspects of building an Amazon private label business is finding that perfect product that sells - and continues to sell. Chad Rubin says that those kinds of products require a lot of research into the market it will be serving. You’ve got to make sure that you’re actually meeting a real life need to ensure that there will always be a market for the product so you’re not left with a huge investment that never pans out. You can hear Chad’s advice for finding those kinds of products on this episode.   Come up with an idea that solves a specific problem. You can’t expect to jump on Alibaba and choose the first product that looks like it might sell. You’ve got to find one that truly meets a need that consumers are willing to pay to have solved. Chad Rubin’s formula for private label success starts there. He suggests that you look at your own life - at the problems you face and the things you wish were different - and let those frustrations inspire you to create products that solve those problems. If you have the problem, you can bet thousands of others do too. Find out how Chad goes about his own product discovery on this episode of The Amazing Seller. Come up with an idea that has to do with something you love. Many private label sellers fade away over time because they start selling a product they think will be successful, but it’s not something they personally have an interest in. Chad Rubin says that long term success requires that you’re working on something that you actually enjoy or have interest in. When you’re passionate about the products you sell you’re going to be much more motivated over the long haul and will be able to persevere to see your business thrive. If you want to be inspired by an incredible story you’ll want to hear this episode. Choose a product that doesn’t get you stuck in one narrow niche. Successful private label sales depends on building a brand, not just selling one popular or in-demand product. When you only have one product you get stuck in a one dimensional place where it’s hard to branch out and create secondary streams of income for your business. Chad Rubin suggests that you start out with an eye toward building a brand that can span many different niches of products. That way you’re able to pivot more easily, add complementary products to your product line in a natural way, and maximize your potential to cross sell to your existing customer base.

I've been enjoying Chad Coleman's measured portrayal of Tyreese, this multi-faceted character who with his hammer and his wool cap seemed to have burst straight out of the pages of the comic this season, especially once he became activated by Karen's death. It was a pleasure to speak with Chad as he thoughtfully answered everything we wanted to know. Join me and special guest Brittany as we find out things like:* What Tyreese would've done if he had found out Carol killed Karen before she left the prison (his answer might surprise you—it did me).* What it was like to film that crazy scene by the road where Tyreese hammers his way through a massive crowd of zeds.* How Chad sees the relationship between Tyreese and Rick.* What was going on in the S3 finale when Tyreese abruptly left the room seeming like he had a purpose.* How working on TWD compares to his time on the acclaimed HBO show The Wire.* And much more! Hope you enjoy the interview as much as we did! For all our listeners in the U.S., happy Thanksgiving!
