How Do Top Performers Stay Motivated When Sales Gets Hard? You know the feeling when you close a big deal. The rush. The quiet satisfaction of updating your pipeline. Maybe a quick high-five with your manager. And then, almost immediately, it fades. You're back to cold calls that go unanswered, emails that disappear into inboxes, and prospects who promised they were interested suddenly going silent. In sales, rejection isn't a side effect of the job. It is the job. That reality is exactly why most people don't last in sales. And it's why the people who do last tend to get paid very well. Over the past quarter, we talked with some of the most consistent sales leaders in the business. Here are four moments from the Sales Gravy Podcast that reveal how top performers stay motivated and close more deals, even when the work feels heavy. Find Your Carrot and Make It Specific Will Frattini, VP of Sales at ZoomInfo, keeps a small Christmas ornament on his desk. His daughter gave it to him when she was five. That ornament is his carrot. During a recent podcast conversation, Will explained that when sales gets hard, that ornament reminds him exactly why he keeps pushing. Not in an abstract or inspirational-poster way, but in a deeply personal one. It represents his family, his responsibility, and the future he's building for them. That distinction matters. Many salespeople say they're motivated by family, freedom, or financial security. Those values are real, but on their own, they're often too broad to sustain sales motivation during a brutal stretch of rejection. When you're fifty dials deep with no connects and another demo just canceled, vague motivation doesn't hold up. Will doesn't just think “my family.” He sees a moment, a memory, and a tangible reminder of what's at stake. That specificity gives his motivation weight. Top performers anchor their sales motivation to something concrete and emotionally charged. A down payment they want to make by a certain date. A trip they want to take without checking their bank account. A milestone that matters beyond quota. The more specific the carrot, the more powerful it becomes when sales gets hard. How to define yours: Write down one specific outcome you want to achieve in the next six months. Not “hit quota,” but the real-world result that quota enables. A number. A purchase. An experience. Put it somewhere you'll see it every day. Work With Customers Who Actually Value You One of the fastest ways to drain sales motivation is closing deals with customers who make you miserable. On an episode of Ask Jeb, Jeb broke down how companies grow faster by focusing on the right customers, not just more customers. When you're behind on quota late in the year, it's tempting to take anything that looks like revenue. Any company that shows interest. Any prospect willing to meet. You convince yourself that a deal is a deal. Then January arrives. That customer floods your team with support tickets, questions every invoice, demands exceptions, and slowly erodes the satisfaction of the win you celebrated just weeks earlier. Consistent performers learn to protect their energy. They get ruthless about fit. Not just company size or industry, but values. They ask questions like, “What do you value most in a partner?” and they listen carefully to the answer. Some buyers want constant responsiveness. Others value expert perspective and challenge. Some want efficiency and minimal interaction. None of those preferences are wrong. But only one aligns with how you actually sell. When sales gets hard, motivation comes easier when you're pursuing customers who respect your approach instead of fighting it. How to clarify your ideal customer: Look at your three favorite customers. The ones your entire team enjoys working with. What do they share beyond surface-level traits? How did they behave during the buying process? Those patterns matter more than any firmographic filter. Slow Down Before You Create Your Own Problems When pressure builds, speed starts to feel productive. You rush contracts. You promise timelines without checking internally. You say yes to custom requirements because slowing down feels risky. On an episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount, Jr. shared one of the most painful stories we heard this year. A $1.4 million deal with a pediatrics practice unraveled after someone rushed the process and placed the client into an early adopter program without a test environment. The result was catastrophic. The client's live system crashed, HIPAA was violated, and the company lost not only the deal but $600,000 in annual recurring revenue. Top performers understand something most reps learn the hard way: smooth is fast. They build guardrails around high-risk moments. Before sending a contract, they align internally. Before committing to timelines, they check with the people who actually do the work. Slowing down at the right moments builds trust. It prevents chaos. And it preserves sales motivation by keeping you from spending the next quarter cleaning up mistakes made under pressure. How to build a slowdown system: Identify the three points in your sales process where you tend to rush. Proposals, negotiations, technical commitments. Create a short checklist for each and make it mandatory. Use AI to Think Faster, Not to Stop Thinking Sales demands constant context switching. Pipeline reviews. Prospect research. Discovery prep. Follow-up. Objection handling. The mental load adds up quickly. Victor Antonio recently shared an example of a window company using vision AI to diagnose broken window seals from photos. Instead of sending a technician, customers submit an image. The system verifies the issue, checks inventory, confirms warranty status, and schedules service automatically. AI hasn't changed what strong salespeople do. It's changed how quickly they get to the work that actually matters. Top performers use AI to handle tasks that drain energy but don't require judgment. Research summaries. Organizing notes. Drafting frameworks. That speed preserves mental bandwidth for conversations, strategy, and relationship building. Used correctly, AI supports sales motivation by reducing friction, not replacing effort. How to use AI without dulling your edge: List the tasks you repeat weekly that consume time but not insight. Let AI handle those. Keep anything involving trust, nuance, or decision-making firmly in your hands. Why This Matters for Sales Motivation Sales has always been hard. Cold calling was hard decades ago, and it's still hard today. You still have to find people, start conversations, build trust, and ask for commitments. What separates average reps from consistent performers isn't resilience alone. It's structure. Top performers know exactly what they're chasing and why it matters. They protect themselves from bad-fit customers. They slow down when it counts. And they use tools strategically to preserve energy for selling. They still get rejected. They still lose deals. They still have months where nothing goes right. But they don't drift. They don't panic. And they don't quit when the work gets uncomfortable. That discipline is what sustains sales motivation long after the initial excitement wears off. If you want a clearer target to aim at when sales gets hard, download the FREE Sales Gravy Goal Guide. It will help you define the goals that actually keep you focused, disciplined, and motivated—especially when rejection starts piling up.

In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall discuss three essential behaviors that help coaches build a thriving practice: Networking, Nurturing, and Negotiating. They explain how these behaviors create a natural flow from awareness to relationship to partnership—and why skipping steps leads to awkwardness and frustration. Using real examples from their own coaching businesses, Brian and Chad illustrate how to operationalize each behavior in ways that fit your personality, your clients, and your local or distributed context. Key Highlights The 3 N's Framework: Networking (they know you), Nurturing (you know them), and Negotiating (you work together)—a clear progression for building a client base. Fit your strengths: Networking doesn't mean schmoozy cocktail parties; it can be teaching, podcasting, or community events—whatever authentically connects you. Patience is vital: Like farming, you can't force growth; you can only create the conditions—plant, water, and cultivate relationships. Tools shift by context: A podcast might be networking for CAM but nurturing for a local firm; the purpose defines the behavior. Bring your team along: Involve your staff early so clients build trust with the organization, not just with you personally. Takeaways Map your client journey. Identify who's on your radar, who you're networking with, who you're nurturing, and who you're negotiating with. Track without strangling. Systems help—but don't overmanage relationships; stay organic and human. Do what you enjoy. Choose networking and nurturing methods that energize you so consistency feels natural. Partnership multiplies momentum. Pair with people whose strengths complement yours—networkers, nurturers, or closers. Relationships create readiness. The best clients often come from long-term nurturing; trust builds quietly before opportunity emerges.

Take a few minutes to reflect on someone who inspires you, and how you can embody the values you admire in them.You can also listen to this episode in Spanish here: https://tinyurl.com/4rjmambmHow To Do This Practice: Find a quiet moment and settle your body: Sit or stand somewhere you feel safe and comfortable. Take a few slow breaths and let your body soften, releasing the noise of the day. Bring to mind someone who embodies “moral beauty”: Think of a person whose kindness, courage, humility, or integrity has genuinely inspired you. Choose one specific moment when their character moved you. Visualize an act that inspired you: Recall exactly what the person did. Picture the scene, their actions, their choices. Notice why this moment stood out as meaningful or brave or good. Notice how your body responds: As you hold this image, tune into your body: warmth, openness, tenderness, or even tears. Allow yourself to feel the emotional impact of their moral beauty. Reflect on why this matters to you: Ask yourself: What does this moment reveal about the values that matter most to me? What purpose does it awaken? What did this person teach me about how I want to live? Choose one small aligned action for today: Identify one thing you can do—big or small—that expresses the value or purpose this person embodies. Carry that intention with you into the rest of your day.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified. Happy December. Today we are doing a throwback to one of my favorite episodes, all about how to design a small group curriculum that actually works. In this episode, we are getting into the meat and potatoes of small group curriculum. My goal is to make the process simple, realistic, and easy to implement so you can confidently design groups that support your students and meet your counseling goals. When it comes to small group curriculum, you are likely doing one of two things. You may be using activities or curriculum that you have already purchased, such as hard copy books provided by your school or resources from Teachers Pay Teachers. Or you may be creating your own curriculum from scratch because one has not been provided for you. No matter which route you choose, there are six steps you can follow to design a small group curriculum that works. Identify your topic Start by identifying your small group topic using referral data or student needs. For example, you may notice a need for a self control group. Outline your weeks with ASCA aligned objectives Determine the length of your group, typically six to eight weeks. Choose one clear objective for each week. Align each objective with an ASCA mindset and behavior that matches your goal. Once this is complete, type out your weekly outline so you have a clear plan to follow. Select your icebreakers Icebreakers are especially important during the first session to help students feel comfortable and connected. Choose simple activities that build rapport and introduce the group structure. Select your activities Activities are the core of each session. Look closely at your weekly objective and choose an activity that directly supports that skill or concept. This ensures your sessions stay focused and intentional. Select a reflection piece Reflection is a powerful part of student learning. Journals work especially well for small groups. Even five minutes of reflection can help students process what they learned and apply it outside of the session. Create your self assessment Data collection is essential for tailoring your sessions and tracking student progress. Create a self assessment that is based on your weekly objectives so you can measure growth throughout the group. This framework helps you stay organized, intentional, and data driven while creating small groups that truly support your students.   Resources Mentioned: Join IMPACT Group Bundle Group Cheat Sheet ASCA Mindset and behaviors Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube   More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

"Happy money is money that gives you joy when you receive it and also gets you excited when you pay."  Money carries energy, whether we notice it or not. When money is received with appreciation and released with gratitude, it circulates differently through life. Instead of being a source of stress, fear, or control, it becomes a tool for joy, generosity, and forward momentum. The relationship we form with money often mirrors our relationship with trust, self-worth, and contribution. When money is treated as something positive, supportive, and purposeful, it stops feeling heavy and starts feeling alive.  Ken Honda introduces the idea that money can be "happy" or "unhappy" depending on how it is experienced emotionally. He explains that happy money flows from doing meaningful work, creating value, and making others smile. When people earn through alignment with what they love, money becomes a natural byproduct rather than a constant struggle. Ken also connects money to ikigai—one's life purpose—and shows how passion, contribution, and income can coexist without conflict.  Ken is a globally recognized author and teacher known for blending spirituality with practical financial wisdom. With millions of books sold worldwide, including Happy Money, he helps people shift their mindset around wealth, gratitude, and purpose. His work focuses on transforming money from a source of anxiety into a source of peace, joy, and service.   Expert action steps:  Practice gratitude every time money comes in and goes out—train yourself to emotionally appreciate both.  Identify your ikigai by noticing what energizes you naturally, then explore how it might serve others.  Build a small group of supporters who value your work; sustainable income grows through trust and community.  Learn more & connect:  https://kenhonda.com/  https://www.youtube.com/@kenhondaofficial  IG: @happykenhonda  FB: https://www.facebook.com/kenhondahappymoney/  Also in this episode:  Ikigai: The Japanese Secret to a Joyful Life  https://www.japan.go.jp/kizuna/2022/03/ikigai_japanese_secret_to_a_joyful_life.html  Visit https://www.eCircleAcademy.com and book a success call with Nicky to take your practice to the next level.

The Real AI: Authenticity + Intention in Life and Business   In a world where AI can write emails, produce video, and even mimic your voice, the greatest competitive advantage left is being human. Brian McRae reminds us that emotional loyalty, being known, valued, remembered, is what creates opportunity, referrals, purpose, and a life of meaningful success. Social media may get you attention, but it will never create devotion. Relationships do.   If you've been feeling alone, stuck, or unsure how to expand your circle of opportunity, this conversation is your roadmap back to connection.   Key Points with Reflection Questions:  Emotional Loyalty Is More Powerful Than Marketing. Most loyalty is transactional or habitual. But emotional loyalty, the kind your favorite small restaurant gives you when they remember your name and your kids, is what transforms your business and life. Brian built an entire mortgage business through emotional loyalty created at his monthly event. Reflection Question: Who in your life deserves more intentional appreciation from you this week? Authenticity + Intentionality = The New AI. Brian says the most important "AI" in business isn't artificial intelligence. It's Authentic and Intentional actions. A handwritten note, a thoughtful question, or genuine curiosity carries more power than any automated funnel. Reflection Question: Where can you replace automation with authentic intention? The World Rewards Generosity, Not Neediness. Most networking fails because people lead with "What's in it for me?" Brian teaches the opposite: Lead with gratitude, curiosity, and generosity, and doors open that marketing can't touch. Reflection Question: What's one simple generosity action you can take in the next 24 hours? Referrals Come From Partners, Not Clients. Most people confuse their client with their referral partner. Referral partners don't want to be sold to. They want partnership, support, and value. Brian's business grew by helping other professionals grow theirs. Reflection Question: Who are your true referral partners, and how are you helping them win? Relationships Require Rhythm and Systems. You don't need the perfect CRM. You need the one you actually use. Brian says: Identify your top relationships, Create a connection plan, Put follow-up time on your calendar, Track what matters, and Your calendar reveals your priorities. Your CRM reveals your influence. Reflection Question: What relationship rhythm do you need to protect weekly? Success Requires Facing Challenges, Not Avoiding Them. Brian has worked with and coached thousands of successful people. Their secret? They don't avoid challenges — they grow through them. They look for opportunity in the obstacle. Reflection Question: What challenge are you resisting that might actually be your path to growth Faith, Wisdom, and Mentors Shape Everything. Brian openly shares that faith transformed his life, and that mentors changed his direction. Success isn't achieved alone. It's shaped by the wisdom of people who've walked the road before us. Reflection Question: Which wise voice should you be listening to more closely right now?   Money Learning from Brian McRae: Brian uses Profit First not because it's trendy, but because he never wants financial surprises again. ·       Profit First gave him:      Peace of mind      Predictable cash flow      Confidence his taxes and expenses were covered      The freedom to build a coaching business in alignment with his strengths   He described Profit First as a system that eliminates stress and supports life-aligned decisions.

Emotional loyalty is the last unfair advantage in a world of automation.   Bio: Brian McRae built an award-winning, referral-based mortgage practice that placed him among the top 1% of originators nationwide. But along the way, he discovered a surprising truth: success isn't about being the best salesperson in the room—it's about becoming the most trusted advisor in someone's life. Today, Brian coaches loan officers, financial advisors, and attorneys on how to build rich relationships that generate referrals and grow their businesses—without sacrificing their faith, family, or fitness.

The Referable Client Experience with Stacey Brown Randall   Most business owners say they want more referrals. Very few are actually drowning in them. The default strategy is to do good work, hope people notice, and maybe ask for introductions when things get slow. In this episode of Profit Answer Man, I sit down again with referral expert and author Stacey Brown Randall to talk about why that approach does not work and how to build a truly referrable client experience.   Stacey has spent years helping small business owners generate referrals without asking, without incentives, and without feeling manipulative. Her new book, The Referrable Client Experience, dives into how your day to day client journey can become your most powerful referral engine.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Referrals, Introductions, and Word-of-Mouth Are Not the Same Thing. One of the first big shifts Stacey brings is simply defining our terms. A referral happens when a referral source connects you directly to a prospect, clearly identifies a need, and positions you as the solution. An introduction is just a connection. There is no identified need. Word-of-mouth buzz is when someone talks about you or gives out your name, but you are never actually connected. Most business owners lump all three together. The problem is that only one of them consistently leads to new clients. If all you are getting is introductions and vague "I mentioned you to someone" comments, you are not really running a referral strategy. Your Small Size Is Your Superpower. When we talk about "client experience," most people picture big company initiatives, software, and dashboards. Stacey defines client experience more simply as how your client feels while they work with you. That is where small business wins. You can: Make clients feel seen and remembered, Adjust quickly when something is off, Add personal, human touches that big companies could never scale, If you want to go from a good client experience to a referrable one, you have to understand the emotions you are creating along the way and be intentional about them. The Science Behind Why Referrals Happen. Referrals are not magic. Stacey frames them through three lenses: What happens in the brain of the referral source. When someone makes a great referral, "feel good" chemicals fire in their brain. They get to be the hero who solved a problem for someone they care about. It is about them helping the prospect, not about you. The psychology of trust. Referral sources do not need to know every credential or detail about you. What matters is that they trust you as a person and do not forget you. That trust is nurtured by consistent, human touch points, not by dumping your resume on them. Behavioral economics. Instead of manipulating reciprocity, Stacey focuses on the positive side: using surprise, delight, and variety in your touch points so people remember you and feel connected to you. Gifts, Touch Points, and What Actually Lands. Gifts can be powerful but they are often used poorly. Stacey's guidance: A gift should not be tied directly to a single referral, or you train people to expect a payout each time. For each referral source, build a plan of five to seven touch points over the year that happen whether or not referrals come in. Use gifts sparingly, and make them meaningful, humorous, or heartfelt enough to be memorable. If it took you two seconds to choose and send, it probably will not stand out. For actual referrals as they happen, Stacey recommends something simple and powerful: a handwritten thank you note. Be Strategic, Not "Spray and Pray". When owners want more referrals, they often default to more networking. More coffee dates, more events, more people. Stacey calls out the problem with this "spray and pray" approach. Instead, she encourages business owners to: Identify their ideal referral sources by asking, "Who regularly sees my ideal client before I do?" Focus on building real relationships with those few instead of trying to convert every person in the room. Accept that it is a numbers game, but a strategic one: you may meet a hundred people and end up with three or four true referral partners.   Key Takeaway: Referrals are not a mystery reserved for the lucky few. They are the predictable result of a client experience that makes people feel seen, cared for, and confident enough to put their reputation on the line for you. When you understand the science behind referrals and build a simple plan around your best referral sources, you can stop chasing cold leads and start welcoming more ideal clients who already trust you.   Bio: Stacey Brown Randall is the author of the new book, The Referable Client Experience, and the multiple award-winning book, Generating Business Referrals Without Asking. She is also the host of the Roadmap to Referrals podcast. Stacey teaches business owners how to generate referrals naturally…without manipulating, incentivizing, or even asking. She has been featured in national publications like Entrepreneur magazine, Investor Business Daily, Forbes, and more. She received her Master's in Organizational Communication and is married with three kids.   Links: Websites: https://staceybrownrandall.com/ https://referableclientexperience.com/ Social Media: www.linkedin.com/in/staceybrandall https://www.instagram.com/staceybrownrandall/ https://www.facebook.com/StaceyBrownRandall https://www.youtube.com/@referralswithoutasking   Conclusion: Referrals don't come from luck, pressure, or clever tactics—they come from the way your clients and referral sources feel throughout their experience with you. Stacey's insights remind us that when you create a journey rooted in trust, care, and thoughtful connection, referrals become a natural byproduct—not a struggle. By understanding the science behind why people refer and building a simple, intentional plan around your best referral sources, you can replace unpredictable lead generation with a reliable, relationship-driven system that grows your business sustainably and profitably.   #ProfitAnswerMan #SmallBusinessGrowth #Referrals #ClientExperience #BusinessProfit #CashFlow #TrustedAdvisor #BusinessStrategy   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

Do your patients really have two bites? Does their bite change when they lie down? When they sleep? And how can you explain centric relation, posture, and deprogramming in a way that patients actually understand? Dr. Bobby Supple joins Jaz for a powerful episode unpacking one of the most misunderstood topics in occlusion: the daytime chewing bite versus the nighttime airway bite. After spending days with Bobby in his New Mexico clinic, Jaz saw firsthand how simply and elegantly Bobby communicates concepts that usually leave patients — and dentists — confused. Together, they explore why bite discrepancies exist, what happens when the condyles fully seat, and how aligning Bite One and Bite Two over time can transform patient comfort and restorative outcomes. https://youtu.be/EC_qxUF7GxI Watch PDP252 on YouTube Protrusive Dental Pearl When assessing abfractions, always check the patient's bite in two positions: seated upright and lying back. Posture subtly shifts the condylar position and can change how forces load the tooth. Want more gems like this? AskJaz — your on-demand dental brain, will be soon baked right into the Protrusive App. Key Takeaways: Every patient has two bites — their upright chewing bite and their horizontal airway bite. Posture changes the condylar position more than we realise. Clear communication can make complex occlusion concepts instantly understandable. Aligning Bite One and Bite Two over time leads to healthier joints and more predictable dentistry.

In this episode, Isabel invites listeners to pause, reflect, and imagine their future as caregivers—or as care receivers. Drawing from her experience leading her first Planning Lab for Caregivers and Retirees, she shares how planning for care can be just as meaningful and intentional as planning a trip, a new home, or retirement dreams. Through a guided journaling and reflection exercise, Isabel encourages listeners to: Explore their expectations and emotions around caregiving.Identify the mix of feelings that come with this life stage—honor, sadness, guilt, joy, or overwhelm.Recognize which emotions they may want to shift, and understand why those emotions are present.Practice self-kindness and curiosity instead of judgment. She emphasizes that caregiving is not just about challenges—it can be a season of connection, self-discovery, and love. By reframing emotions and making small changes today, we can create a more compassionate, intentional future for ourselves and those we care for. Isabel closes by reminding listeners that they deserve love, care, joy, and abundance—and that even small mindset shifts can transform the caregiving journey.

Send us a textTwo Great authors and one inspirational city are the focus of this episode. Sinclair Lewis Sinclair Lewis's writing advice, often delivered directly to his students or in letters, focused on the practicalities of a writing life and the raw discipline required. Some of his most memorable guidance includes the reminder that "real writers" are unstoppable and the emphasis that writing is simply hard work. Focus and disciplineDon't fool yourself. Lewis advised writers, "You can fool the critics but never yourself". Embrace the hard work.Ignore discouraging words. Turn off distractions. Writing craftWrite with your ear. Lewis insisted that writers and readers should use their ears, not just their eyes.Write what truly interests you. He advised, "Write about what really interests you... and nothing else". Be painstakingly clear. Save your drafts. He suggested that if you give up on a piece of writing, you should put it in a drawer instead of throwing it away. He found that much of his best work came from revising or rewriting things he had abandoned years earlier.Know your words.Consider not using a typewriter.Advice to his studentsWhen Lewis taught at the University of Minnesota, he had some pointed words for his class. : Compete with the best. Possess a "divine egotism". Lewis encouraged a form of confidence and ambition in his students.Live righteously. Tennessee Williams Based on his journals and interviews, Tennessee Williams' writing advice centers on honest, emotionally-driven storytelling and consistent practice. He encouraged writers to focus on the human heart, avoid distractions, and embrace the fragile, conflicted parts of themselves and their characters. Write honestly and from withinFocus on inner tension. Be autobiographical. Identify with vulnerable characters. Williams found it easier to write about people who were fragile, lonely, or on the verge of hysteria,Embrace the full messiness of your characters. He encouraged writers to let their characters "fight," "claw their way toward something," and be "messy and holy and tired" instead of being quiet and acceptable. Overcome your inner criticBelieve in your first draft.Believe in yourself.Recognize the dual nature of your work. After the first draft, Williams noted that a play is never as good or as bad as you think it is. The truth lies somewhere in the middle, and a writer must push past these self-assessments. Cultivate a strong work ethicWork every day.Revise relentlessly. Be a "wasteful writer." Williams admitted to generating a lot of material that he didn't use, going through multiple drafts before finalizing a work. For him, a lot of writing was necessary to arrive at what was good. Capture and express emotional truthDon't bore the audience. Tell the truth, even if it's shocking. Find inspiration in small observations.

If you're not getting cited by ChatGPT, your “AI SEO” strategy isn't working, no matter what your dashboards say. Most of it is observability theater: dashboards, charts, synthetic prompts — and zero actual placement.In this episode, we chat with Shawn Schneider, founder of Eldil AI, about what actually determines whether your company shows up in ChatGPT answers. The short answer: LLMs don't reward more content, clever prompts, or prettier dashboards. They reward a small set of trusted third-party sources — and most brands aren't mentioned in any of them.Shawn breaks down why observability alone creates a false sense of progress, how to identify the specific citations that dominate your category, and how to turn that insight into real placements through outreach and negotiation. We also unpack why Google Search Console is still the best signal we have for AI-driven queries, how to prioritize the one citation that actually matters, and what the first 30–90 days can look like when you do this correctly.GuestShawn Schneider — founder of Eldil AI, a GEO / AI SEO platform focused on identifying and securing the citations LLMs rely on most; helps brands and agencies win visibility in ChatGPT by targeting the power-law sources that shape AI answers.Guest LinksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shawn-schneider-61b2b5207/ Company Website: https://www.eldil.ai/What You'll LearnWhy most GEO / AI SEO observability tools are meaningless without actual placements The only thing that reliably improves AI search visibility: citation placementsHow to use Google Search Console to surface AI fan-out queriesWhy synthetic prompt data is still unreliable (and what to trust instead)The power law of citations: why only 1–3 sources actually matterHow Eldil turns citation discovery into outreach and negotiated placementsWhat 30–90 days can look like when you secure the right citationWhich industries should invest heavily — and which should ignore this for nowWhy ChatGPT dominates referral traffic compared to other LLMsWhat happens when ads arrive inside AI search resultsTimestamps00:00 — GEO, AI SEO, AEO: noise vs. reality00:21 — Why observability tools don't move the needle03:55 — Where GEO tools get their data (and why it's messy)07:16 — Using Google Search Console as a prompt proxy09:40 — The three pillars: technical, content, authority12:07 — Citations as the dominant ranking lever13:07 — The power law: thousands of citations, one winner19:07 — How fast results actually show up20:39 — When building your own citation content makes sense30:41 — Which business models win with GEO37:11 — ChatGPT ads and the future of AI search41:32 — Where to find Shawn and closing thoughts Key Topics & Ideas1. Why dashboards feel good but don't create outcomes.Most tools are essentially “Google Analytics for LLMs”ChatGPT referrals rise naturally as usage increasesCharts go up even if you do nothingWithout placements, observability is just vanity2. The three common approaches in the market today:Guessing prompts with LLMsClickstream data sourced from Chrome extensions and brokersSynthetic prompts without transparencyEldil uses Google Search Console + Analytics as the best available proxy for real intent.3. How to spot AI-generated fan-out queries:50+ character queriesHigh impressionsLow or zero clicksThese often represent LLMs expanding short prompts into long-form searches.4. The three pillars: Technical, Content, AuthorityTechnical — can an LLM crawl and understand your site?Content — does useful information exist?Authority — does anyone credible back it up?Authority is the multiplier most teams ignore.5. What actually shapes AI answers:Citations are not backlinks, they are semantic explanationsLLMs repeatedly return to the same trusted sourcesThird-party listicles and niche blogs dominate citation share6. The Power Law of Citations10k–15k citations may exist200–300 matter1–3 actually move the needleIf you're not in those, content volume won't save you.7.

In this episode of the GrowDental podcast, Luke dives into the r/Dentistry subreddit to answer real questions from practice owners struggling with marketing and growth. What emerged from those conversations is a framework that challenges everything most dentists believe about their biggest constraint. Get your copy of the Practice Paradox and the Personality Assessment: https://ion.agency/practice-paradox-book A dentist buys a South Florida practice. Previous spend: $5,000 monthly on ads. New plan: hire a strategist, reorganize, cut costs. Result: phones go silent, patient flow crashes. The owner’s instinct? Panic. The real question: Was $5k the problem? Here’s what actually happened. Spend less, get less. That part is simple math. The complicated part lives downstream. What happens after someone calls or fills out a form? Because in most practices, the enemy isn’t your marketing budget. It’s operational leakage. Missed calls. Weak follow-up. Zero visibility into what your website produces. If that’s your reality, more ad spend won’t solve growth. It will scale your waste. This framework is for owners who want to grow the right way. Plug the leaks first. Scale what works second. The Trap — Treating Marketing Like the Problem When It’s Just the Amplifier Most budget arguments skip the only question that matters. Are you stewarding the opportunities you already pay for? Marketing is not magic. Marketing is volume. Turn it up and you get more attention, more inquiries, more exposure of whatever’s broken underneath. In the South Florida case, the most predictable outcome occurred. They cut spend and lead flow dropped. That doesn’t prove the original budget was right or efficient. It proves it was producing volume. But the real insight is this: ad spend is relative. Consider the context. Where exactly are you? Miami versus a suburban market are different games. How competitive is your local area? How big is the practice now, and how fast do you want to grow? A flat number like $5,000 monthly means nothing without those answers. In some markets it’s average. In others it’s conservative. In others it’s reckless. But even if your spend level fits your market, your biggest constraint may still be operational, not marketing. Free Growth Session The Silent ROI Killer — Missed Calls and Abandoned Calls Want one metric that exposes the truth fast? How many calls are you missing right now? Not what your team thinks. Not what feels right. The hard number. Here’s the reality most owners avoid. The average abandoned call rate sits between 20 percent and 40 percent of calls going unanswered. Pause on that. If you miss one out of four calls, you don’t have a lead generation problem. You have a conversion capture problem. And if a meaningful chunk of those missed calls are new patients, you’re bleeding revenue daily without knowing it. Why This Matters More Than Your Ad Budget The compounding effect looks like this. Your missed call rate is 25 percent today. You crank marketing spend up. You push your team beyond capacity and that missed call rate climbs to 40 percent or higher. So you spend more. You get more inquiries. You lose more opportunities because your systems can’t absorb the volume. This is how practices convince themselves marketing doesn’t work, when the truth is they never fixed the bucket. Where to Find the Truth (Not Opinions) Most practices already have the data. Owners just don’t look. You likely use a VoIP system. Those platforms show call stats, including abandoned call rate and missed calls. The next step isn’t just the percentage. It’s segmentation. What percentage of missed calls are new patient calls? That one metric tells you whether your next dollar goes to ads or operations. The Other Black Hole — “How Many New Patients Did Your Website Bring You?” One strategist asks a question almost nobody can answer. “In 2025, how many new patients did your website bring you?” Common response: silence. This isn’t a minor gap. It’s a fundamental business blind spot. If you can’t measure what the website produces, you can’t evaluate whether your site does its job, whether your online scheduling gets used, whether your forms get answered, or whether you’re losing patients quietly while telling yourself the website is decent. The Website Isn’t Just Branding Sure, a website informs people. But in the context of practice growth, it has a job. Turn interest into action. If you don’t know whether it’s doing that, you’re operating on vibes. The Practical Audit Most Practices Never Do If your lead flow feels low, take a hard look at where you’re bleeding. Start with two questions. What are the form submissions and appointment requests like? Where are those requests being routed, and who owns follow-up? Because “we don’t get website leads” is sometimes code for something else. Requests go into an inbox nobody monitors. Notifications go to the wrong person. Patients get a slow response and ghost. The follow-up experience feels cold and transactional. In other words, the website might be working. Your process might not. Free Growth Session Google vs. Meta Isn’t a Preference Debate. It’s an Intent and Workflow Debate. A lot of dentists talk about Google versus Facebook like it’s personal preference. It’s not. It’s about patient intent and what your practice can handle. Here’s the breakdown. Google is more bottom-of-funnel because you capture existing search intent. People actively looking. But it’s also more competitive, and demand is limited by how many people search in your area. Meta (Facebook and Instagram) is more top-of-funnel. You reach people who could become patients, but you often need workflows and automations to warm them up and convert them. Here’s the operational reality most practices miss. If your follow-up is weak, top-of-funnel leads die. If your phones aren’t answered consistently, bottom-of-funnel leads die too. The platform won’t save you from poor stewardship. This is why fixing leaks first is so powerful. It makes every channel work better. The “Plug the Leaks” Growth Framework — What to Fix Before You Spend More If your schedule isn’t where you want it, your instinct may be to throw money at marketing. Sometimes that’s right, but only after you validate the fundamentals. Here’s a practical sequence. Step One — Pull Your Phone Data Today Log into your VoIP system. Find your abandoned call rate and missed calls. Identify what percentage of missed calls are likely new patients. If you’re missing a big chunk of calls, that’s not a marketing problem. That’s an operations problem that marketing will only magnify. Step Two — Review the Follow-Up Experience (Not the Theory) A simple but revealing approach: listen to phone calls and evaluate customer service like a real consumer would. If you want to remove self-deception, do what one doctor did. Call your own practice pretending to be a patient to screen the phone experience. This isn’t about being sneaky. It’s about being honest. Owners often assume the experience is good because the team is nice. But nice doesn’t always mean confident, efficient, or conversion-minded. Step Three — Audit Your Website Conversion Path End-to-End Don’t argue about whether the site looks good. Ask how many appointment requests come in. Are submissions truly zero, or just disappearing? Who is responsible for responding, and how fast? If you discover leads are coming in but not getting handled well, the fix might be far cheaper than increasing ad spend. Step Four — Only After the Leaks Are Plugged, Decide Whether to Scale Spend At that point, scaling marketing becomes rational because you’re scaling a machine that can actually capture demand. A practical benchmark: marketing spend often falls around 5 percent to 12 percent of collections. Don’t treat that as a rule. Treat it as a reality check and tie your decision back to your market competitiveness, your growth goals, and your operational readiness to handle more volume. One more sharp point: if you truly want to grow aggressively, you may need to think in terms of the percentage of where you want to be, not just where you are. That can work, but only if you’ve already fixed the conversion bottlenecks. Free Growth Session When the Answer Really Is “Spend More” (And How to Do It Without Getting Burned) Sometimes, after you do the audits above, you’ll confirm something important. Call volume is genuinely low. Website requests are genuinely low. You’re not leaking opportunities. You simply don’t have enough opportunities. In that case, the advice is direct. You just need to spend more. But even then, don’t blindly hire anyone who sells ads. Use a vetting process that protects you from expensive mistakes. Find a reputable marketing company with case studies and testimonials from doctors you’d actually want to emulate. Ask to speak with three to five of those doctors. Do real research, then make an educated decision. That last part matters. Dentists often buy marketing like they buy equipment, based on features. But marketing is closer to hiring. You’re paying for execution quality, strategy alignment, and consistency. The Bottom Line — Marketing Isn’t Your Growth Strategy. Stewardship Is. If you remember one thing from this entire framework, make it this. Marketing doesn’t fix a leaky practice. Marketing exposes it. If your phones go unanswered, if your follow-up is inconsistent, if you don’t know what your website produces, then scaling marketing is like pouring water into a bucket with holes. You’ll feel busy, spend more, and still wonder why the finances don’t add up. But if you plug those holes, if you maximize stewardship, then marketing becomes what it’s supposed to be. A predictable lever you can pull to grow. The owner in the South Florida story didn’t discover that marketing is bad. They discovered something more useful: their spend was driving demand, and the moment they removed it, demand dropped. The correct response isn’t to argue about whether $5k is too much. The correct response is to build a system that can reliably convert whatever demand you create, then scale with confidence.

Understanding Offer Contingencies: What Buyers and Sellers Need to Know Buying or selling a home in Massachusetts isn't just about the price it's about the terms. On a recent episode of Talk Real Estate Roundtable, our team at Boston Connect Real Estate broke down one of the most important (and often misunderstood) parts of the transaction: offer contingencies. Whether you're a buyer preparing to write an offer or a seller reviewing one, understanding contingencies can help you avoid surprises, protect your interests, and keep a deal together from offer to closing  What Is a Contingency? A contingency is a condition written into an offer that must be met for the transaction to move forward. If that condition is not satisfied, the buyer may have the right to renegotiate or walk away without losing their deposit. Contingencies are not “red flags.” They are safeguards that clarify expectations and outline how risks are handled during the transaction. Purchase Price: More Than Just a Number The purchase price itself is a contingency. Buyers and sellers alike must understand market value, not just asking price. Buyers should be educated using comparable sales (comps) from the last 6 months New construction pricing is often firmer due to rising material and labor costs Overpricing can lead to appraisal issues later even if the offer is strong A common challenge we see is buyers (or family members advising them) relying on outdated market assumptions. In today's market, especially with desirable properties and new construction, “you never pay full price” is often no longer true. Home Inspection Contingency (and the New Massachusetts Rules) One of the biggest changes in recent years is how home inspection contingencies are handled in Massachusetts. Buyers can no longer simply “waive” a home inspection in the offer. Instead, the contract now requires buyers to choose how inspection results will be evaluated, such as: Buyer's sole discretion An aggregate repair threshold (for example, repairs exceeding $10,000) A home inspection is designed to: Identify material defects Flag safety concerns Highlight deferred maintenance It is not meant to create a perfect home. Cosmetic issues and personal preferences like wanting new appliances are not the same as defects. Mortgage Contingency: Protection for Buyers and Sellers If a buyer is financing their purchase, a mortgage contingency is critical. This contingency protects the buyer if they cannot obtain financing despite making a good-faith effort. It also reassures sellers that the buyer has taken the necessary steps to qualify. Key components include: Type of loan (Conventional, FHA, VA, portfolio, etc.) Loan amount and interest rate cap Deadlines for application and commitment A pre-approval letter is essential. Without one, an offer is incomplete and risky for the seller. Cash buyers should also expect to provide proof of funds this is standard practice, not an insult. Appraisal Contingency and Appraisal Gaps An appraisal protects the lender by ensuring the home is worth the agreed-upon price. If the appraisal comes in below the purchase price, a gap is created. Buyers then have three options: Renegotiate the price Bring additional cash to closing Walk away (if protected by the contingency) In competitive markets, appraisal gaps are common and they can be stressful. Clear expectations and experienced negotiation can often keep the deal together. Home Sale Contingency: The Domino Effect Many buyers need to sell their current home before purchasing their next one. A home sale contingency allows for this but it also introduces risk for sellers. To balance that risk, sellers may include a 48-hour kick-out clause, allowing them to continue marketing the property and require the buyer to proceed without the contingency if another offer comes in. While not ideal, these contingencies are often necessary and manageable with the right strategy. Why Professional Guidance Matters Contingencies are not one-size-fits-all. The wording, timelines, and structure of each contingency can dramatically affect the outcome of a transaction. At Boston Connect Real Estate, we: Educate buyers on realistic expectations Prepare sellers for potential hurdles Anticipate issues before they derail a deal Navigate changing laws and market conditions The goal is always the same: a smooth transaction with no surprises. Thinking About Buying or Selling? If you're preparing to make a move or reviewing an offer and feeling unsure our team is here to help. A thoughtful, well-structured offer can make all the difference.

In Episode 48 of the Design of AI podcast, we unpack why the most common AI promises are collapsing under real market pressure. AI was meant to unlock strategic work, expand opportunity, and elevate creativity. Instead, UX and design roles are disappearing, agencies are cutting creative staff while buying automation, and freelance work is being devalued as execution becomes cheap.This episode is not about panic. It is about reality. Value still exists, but it is concentrating among those who can integrate AI into real systems, navigate ambiguity, and own outcomes rather than outputs.

Charles Jr.'s article, “When It's Time to Leave a Church,” they walk through practical steps for transitioning from one church to another with humility and integrity. In this episode, they unpack 7 ways to leave a church in a healthy, biblical way: 1. Pray Seek the Lord earnestly before making any decisions. Ask for wisdom, clarity, and a heart that desires God's glory above your preferences. 2. Examine your motives Be honest about why you want to leave. Evaluate whether your reasons are rooted in conviction, calling, or frustration and hurt. 3. Review the commitments you've made Remember membership vows, ministry roles, and responsibilities. Think carefully about how to finish well and hand off your areas of service. 4. Deal with unresolved interpersonal conflict Don't use a church transfer to avoid biblical reconciliation. Whenever possible, seek peace, forgiveness, and restored relationships before you go. 5. Consider how your departure will affect others Reflect on how your decision impacts your family, friends, small group, and church leaders. Aim to leave in a way that builds up the church rather than causing division or confusion. 6. Know where you're going before you leave Don't drift into churchlessness. Identify another faithful, gospel-preaching church where you can plug in, submit to leadership, and serve. 7. Have an honest exit conversation with your pastor Meet with your pastor or elders to share your decision respectfully. Express gratitude, share concerns graciously, and invite them to pray for you as you transition. This episode is especially helpful for: Believers wondering how to leave a church well Members processing a potential church transition Pastors and leaders shepherding people through church moves Resources Mentioned in This Episode: “When It's Time to Leave a Church” by HB Charles Listen in for pastoral, practical guidance on leaving a church biblically, guarding unity, and honoring Christ and His bride even in seasons of transition.

Why do high-achievers feel perpetually behind, even while consuming more content than ever? In this conversation, Pat Flynn explains the trap of “overlearning” and how it quietly keeps us stuck in motion without progress. You'll learn how to shift from “just-in-case” learning to “just-in-time” learning, create real momentum with a simple four-step framework, and protect what matters most with practical boundaries. Along the way, Pat shares how these principles helped him build multiple successful businesses (including a Pokémon channel with millions of followers) without sacrificing his family, health, or joy.Memorable Quotes“We all, in a way, are not just our overlearning, but we're getting over-inspired. We're so connected with so many amazing people out there who teach us this and push us over here, and then we're pulled over this way. We're spread so thin it's we're we're not seeing any results in our own life.”“Now we all have access to all the same kind of information, but we're still treating it as if it's scarce…However, we now live in a buffet line of information… and we're not quite evolved to absorb all of this because we're stuffing our plates full. Not only are we getting bloated and and and slowed down, but we're also getting force-fed on these platforms.”“This is the difference between ‘just-in-case learning,' which is what we've all been doing, and ‘just-in-time learning,' which is learning what you need to know to just take that next step. Because truly the action of taking that next step, the results of that one way or another—whether there are good results or bad results—can teach you so much more than just absorbing this information and never taking any action at all.” “[Silence] allows me to be with myself and to digest the things that I've already learned, to think about my priorities and the things I've already committed to. It allows me to make creative connections between things that I have already picked up instead of just getting more puzzle pieces to try to figure out where they go.”“I mean I was always taught that again, ‘The more you know the more successful you'll be,' and there's always seemingly opportunities to inject more of that learning. And it has this sort of fake productivity that goes along with it, because it is only truly productive, in my opinion, when you actually put into action those things that you do read or listen to or watch.”“At our authors retreat, a theme across most of the people there was not optimizing for revenue, not optimizing for scale, but optimizing for peace. And that was huge to think about.”“If I give myself five months to learn, I'm gonna take five months to learn it. If I give myself five hours to learn, I'm gonna take five hours to learn it. So I almost use time as a tool to help me get to the point of action and then understanding sooner.”“I've developed this rule called the 20% Itch Rule, and that is, out of all the things you do, 80% of your time is dedicated to the things you've already committed to, the things that, the responsibilities you have, the things that you've already said, yes to. The last 20% of time, allocate for curiosity, for play, for experimentation.”Key TakeawaysOverlearning Is a Hidden Productivity Trap. Constant consumption creates a sense of progress without producing results—and often adds more “to-dos” than your life can hold.Shift from “Just-in-Case” to “Just-in-Time.” Learn only what you need for the next step, then take action. Real learning accelerates through doing.Use the 4-Step Lean Learning Cycle. Identify the next step → choose one resource → implement → review. Repeat.Silence Helps You Digest What You Already Know. Pat's “silent car” habit creates space for integration, creativity, and clarity.Watch for “Junk Sparks.” Many ideas are just distractions dressed up as opportunity—especially when algorithms reduce the friction to buy, click, or binge.Try the “20% Itch Rule.” Dedicate 80% of your time to current commitments and responsibilities, and reserve 20% for curiosity, experimentation, and play—without blowing up your life.Optimize for Peace, Not Scale. More revenue isn't always worth the hidden cost. A Double Win means there's still room for what makes you feel most alive.ResourcesSmart Passive Income (Pat's Business)Superfans (Book)Lean Learning (Book)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/aLp6hHTrYQsThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

Are you hanging on so tight to what you have that you can't grab what's waiting for you? I've watched this play out with dozens of clients. They work hard, build something solid, then white-knuckle it into the ground. The irony? That death grip creates the exact scarcity they're trying to avoid. Twenty years into this podcast, I've learned something counterintuitive. The path to more often requires letting go of what you've got. Not destroying it. Not abandoning years of work. Just completing it and moving forward. Featured Story I started the Daily Boost five days a week on January 1st, 2006. People ask if that was some master plan. Big goal. Fresh start. New year energy. Nope. My first wife died on December 6th after a terminal cancer diagnosis. I took a couple weeks to grieve, lifted my head up, and thought, "Well, what am I going to do now?" May as well go back to the podcast thing. May as well start January 1st. That's it. That's the origin story. Sometimes the biggest moves forward come right after the hardest moments of letting go. Important Points Holding onto what you have often keeps you from getting more. Your fear of ending up with less becomes the very thing holding you back from the abundance you want. Most people describe scarcity as not having enough of what they want. But I'd challenge you to consider whether your death grip on what you already have is the real scarcity problem. Time is your friend in this kind of transformation. People expect instant results, but real change takes time to marinate. Every day you move a little closer, but only when you let go of the scarcity mindset. Memorable Quotes "I'm like a pitbull with a ribeye. I hold on. The favorite iteration, but it gets in the way of bigger change." "What if the only requirement for getting what you want is to let go of what you have now? What if your path to success opens up the minute you release?" "You don't lose all the work you've done. You don't lose the knowledge. You don't lose the IP. It's just not active in your life anymore." Scott's Three-Step Approach Ask yourself honestly: Am I hanging on so tight I can't get what's really out there waiting for me? Identify what you're white-knuckling that might be holding you back from bigger change. Complete something instead of iterating it forever. You don't have to destroy years of work. Just seal it, put it over there, and let it become something else while you move forward. Give yourself time to marinate. This isn't an instantaneous transformation. Move a little closer each day toward the abundance you want, but understand that real change takes longer than you think.

In your younger years, you may have thought about your future self. I always wanted to be 30 and I would envision what it would look and feel like. I ultimately became 30. There I was. But I did not arrive and become the ultimate “Kevin” at that point. Five years passed and I became 35 and thought about how far I had come since 30. And this continues happening. As of this recording I just turned 55. Five years from now I'll be 60 and likely be amazed at how much I have grown and evolved past the 55 year old I am now. This is the focus of this episode.  I am back with Dr Benjamin Hardy. I have had Ben on this podcast six or seven times. His personal story is the lead in the first chapter of my book, “What Drives You.” Ben's books on willpower, personality, and personal transformation have put him at the top of the human potential movement. Here I give focus to Ben's book,  Be Your Future Self Now: The Science of Intentional Transformation. It was through Ben that I first heard the concept of, “End of history illusion”, where as I led off with, we look back with amazement at how far we have evolved from who we used to be, but we think who we are now is…who we are. Ben takes us through his research to see how we can open up our personal transformation if we will engage with the future self we are going to become and not only conceive of who we are today. Ben Hardy is an organizational psychologist and has devoted significant research to this issue and become a leading expert on the application of Future Self science. Ben's new book, Be Your Future Self Now, can be found everywhere and you can connect with him at benjaminhardy.com.  Sign up for your $1/month trial period at shopify.com/kevin Go to shipstation.com and use code KEVIN to start your free trial.
