Is it possible to get your entire sales team to work together and crush goals one after another? Consider all the benefits your organization would gain if this were to actually happen.To make this dream a reality, listen to my chat with Justin Balik, co-founder of Weath InsurED, in this episode. He shares three sales tactics that brought his company from half a million to three million in 90 days.Meet Justin Balik Justin has been a force in financial services since graduating from the University of Miami in 2012. He quickly rose from agent to a top 10 manager among 10,000+ peers. Now, he and his wife own a business revolutionizing IUL sales training, producing high-end agents with unparalleled speed and results in the industry. He has helped tens of thousands with insurance and retirement, specializing recently in tax minimization for high-net-worth clients.Specialize Your Sales Roles Most sales teams have reps doing everything: prospecting, appointment-setting, closing, and follow-up. Justin broke the process into specialized roles—so each person focused only on their highest-value work. This helped free up the top closers, who were freed from low-value, time-consuming tasks. The result: higher efficiency, faster pipeline movement, and more revenue. Ask yourself: where is your team doing $10/hour work instead of $10,000/hour work?Go After High-Ticket Clients Instead of focusing on high-volume, low-value sales, Justin's team intentionally shifted to larger, more valuable deals. They targeted higher-level clients who not only respected the process, but were easier to work with—and produced exponentially greater revenue per deal. Justin's advice: Identify and pursue the upper echelon of your market, and don't let assumptions about “difficulty” of big deals hold you back. The truth? Sometimes, bigger clients are actually easier.Deliver Intensive, Practical Training Justin condensed over a decade's worth of his sales knowledge into a proprietary, one-week, 40-hour training program for new reps. This training ensures each team member is truly equipped—not just motivated—with everything needed to sell at a high level. It's practical, measured, and outcome-focused.Bonus Mindset Tip Justin emphasized the importance of personal growth alongside tactical skills. Your self-image must outpace the rejection that comes with aggressive activity, or you'll burn out before you break through.“You can't succeed in sales if you're not constantly working on yourself.” Justin Balik.ResourcesGrab these books mentioned in the episode: 10x Is Easier Than 2x, Who Not How, and The Science of Scaling by Dan Sullivan & Dr. Benjamin Hardy.

What separates entrepreneurs who collapse under pressure from those who come back stronger? Sasha Tripp—a real estate entrepreneur who survived financial disaster, market crashes, and personal crises—shares how she transformed adversity into her greatest breakthrough. Discover the mindset shifts that helped her lead with resilience and rebuild her business, and how Strategic Coach® gave her the tools to turn chaos into clarity. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:What made Sasha realize that she had to either improve her skill set or get into sales.Why the sky's the limit in real estate if you have the right work ethic.Why Sasha thinks she might never be employable again.How Sasha's entrepreneurial path and her Strategic Coach journey have always overlapped.The hardest thing Sasha has ever had to go through. Show Notes: True entrepreneurship is tested in the valleys, not just the peaks. You can't tell if someone's a really great entrepreneur in the best of times because they have a lot of supports in place. The 4 C's Formula®—Commitment, Courage, Capability, and Confidence—is the foundation of overcoming any challenge. It requires courage and commitment to gain new capabilities and confidence. Confidence feels good. Courage feels lousy. If there are going to be problems in the marketplace, residential real estate is where it shows up first. When everything falls apart, your mindset determines whether you rebuild or retreat. Entrepreneurship isn't about avoiding risk; it's about managing fear while moving forward. Entrepreneurs have the freedom to pivot and change when it makes the most sense to do so. If you don't have the answer yet, it might be that you haven't thought of the right question. Strategic Coach isn't about tactics; it's about training yourself to ask better questions. Strategic Coach is a community of unbiased people you can talk to about your challenges. You can want what you want. You don't have to justify it. Your business should fit your life, not the other way around. The fastest way to grow isn't working harder, it's thinking differently. Resources: The 4 C's Formula by Dan Sullivan 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy Who Not How by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan with Dr. Benjamin Hardy The Positive Focus®

You can be further ahead, but you only have to be one step ahead.” “You can't be a disciple maker if you're not a disciple first.” “You can't take people higher up in the mountain than you've been.” “Great leaders come in with nothing to hide, nothing to prove, nothing to lose.” “You only need to be one step ahead of the person you're coaching.” “Sometimes all it takes is a small shift in perspective to open up a whole new world.” “Athletes have coaches, but everyone else is just told to figure it out.” “We're all a puzzle piece in this giant puzzle … When we discover our identity and we're living in our purpose, then we are linking arms, yoked with the other pieces around us.” “If we want to go fast, we've got to go together.” “You think about something you buy and you're really excited about, and it almost immediately loses value. The longer you have it, the more it degrades. Soon it's just junk, and you throw it away. Experiences are like wine — they get sweeter.” “We prioritize meetings with people we don't know or don't even like, but we leave it up to chance to hang out with the people that matter to us most.

Business coach Dan Sullivan and marketing and advertising geniuses Joe Polish, Dean Jackson, and Mark Young have all been friends and business colleagues for years. Now, they're teaming up as the Super Partners for a very special podcast episode where they talk about what marketing really means and provide examples of elegant ideas that entrepreneurs can use to better engage their audiences. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:Solutions that mean no more cold calls or door-to-door sales.The purpose of advertising.How advertising can be used to help people.The difference between marketing and sales.Why selling has gotten a bad name.What's changed since Dan founded The Strategic Coach® Program 35 years ago.Why direct mail is still the greatest form of marketing in the world. Show Notes: Everyone who has a business is going to have to do marketing and selling. One elegant idea is worth more than 1,000 semi-good ideas. Perfect has become the enemy of good. Anything you put in front of somebody is marketing. Only the hungriest fish snap at the crappiest bait. Once you figure out marketing, it's the ultimate leverage. Marketing is the aggregate of all the steps you take to go from somebody not knowing you all the way to them being engaged in a relationship with you. Once you figure out a marketing algorithm, it works again and again. You can create control in your future if you learn how to put a message out there that causes people to want to give you money. There are businesses that die of starvation, and there are businesses that die of indigestion. The average person receives between 5,000 and 24,000 advertising messages daily. Part of sales is just connecting with someone. People don't buy from you because they understand what you do. People buy from you because they feel understood. Dan's definition of selling is getting someone intellectually engaged in a future result that's good for them and getting them to emotionally commit to take action to achieve that result. Resources: I Love Marketing podcast 10xTalk podcast American Happiness podcast Cloudlandia podcast HYPNO-TI$ING by Mark Young Video: “Is Selling Evil?” by Joe Polish Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Ben Hardy The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Ben Hardy 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Ben Hardy Strategic Coach® Mark Young Jekyll + Hyde Labs Dean Jackson The 8 Profit Activators Joe Polish Genius RecoveryWhat's Your Cleator?

Nathan Payne is the co-founder of Offer on Homes and Investor Drive, a wholesaling investment firm and real estate coaching platform helping investors scale their portfolios the “Painless” way. With a background in door-to-door sales and a passion for autonomy, Nathan has built a thriving real estate business while living his dream lifestyle in rural Ontario. He specializes in wholesaling, flipping, and coaching clients through real-world deals using a hands-on apprenticeship model.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here. Key Takeaways Nathan transitioned from door-to-door sales to real estate after seeking a lifestyle with more autonomy and time freedom. He emphasizes real-world coaching through deal partnerships, not just video courses or information dumps. Wholesaling success comes from embracing rejection, refining your sales process, and staying persistent through messy deals. Building savings and having a support system are critical when transitioning into entrepreneurship. Real estate investing should align with your lifestyle goals—not just financial benchmarks.     Topics From Sales Hustler to Rural Investor Started in door-to-door sales before quitting to launch a real estate business with his roommate. Lacked marketing and deal flow at first, but invested heavily in coaching and mentorship to improve. After seven years in the business, he moved with his family to a farm in Ontario, living a slower, intentional life. Lessons from the Early Grind Faced rejections, lost contracts, and failed deals when first starting. Learned that sales tactics differ between products—urgency pressure may work for cable, not for homes. Paid for mentorship after realizing trial-and-error was too costly and time-consuming. Painless Flipping and Coaching Philosophy Teaches students by reviewing live deals, helping them qualify leads, and even partnering on closings. Emulates an apprenticeship model: direct feedback, ongoing support, and real deal experience. Rejects the passive “info-only” coaching model in favor of outcome-driven partnerships. Living With Purpose, Not Pressure No longer driven by money—prioritizes time with family and coaching a handful of serious clients. Believes success is defined by clarity and self-awareness, not vanity metrics or hustle culture. Coaches students to align investing strategy with lifestyle goals from day one.

Dan Sullivan and Steve Krein explore the powerful 4 x 4 Casting Tool™, which can transform how you integrate new team members into your company—and galvanize your current team members to take ownership of their roles. Discover how treating your company like a theater project ensures you have the right people in the right roles for maximum impact. Show Notes: An entrepreneur's primary job is to push things forward, not get stuck in bureaucratic processes.The least productive thing you can say to your team as an entrepreneur is, “I'm unhappy with you, but I'm not going to tell you why.”The 4 x 4 Casting Tool tells people how you expect them to show up, how they show progress in terms of getting things done, how they can be a hero to you, and how they can drive you crazy.It also empowers team members to take ownership of their roles within the company.When someone new joins your team, it's your job to tell them what the game plan is and what's expected of them. People can't read your mind.Traditional job descriptions are impersonal and technical, and they fail to capture the nuanced working relationships that can (and should) develop in a growth-focused team.Having a Self-Managing Company® means that every team member is managing their constant growth and contributions in the company.You can't complain and create at the same time.Remote work has fundamentally changed team dynamics, and it will take more effort to ensure team members feel connected to each other—and your vision. Resources: Anything And Everything PodcastWhat Is A Self-Managing Company®? Unique Ability® Why Work Sucks and How to Fix It: The Results-Only Revolution by Cali Ressler and Jody Thompson Entrepreneurial Operating System® Who Not How by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy The Gap And The Gain by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy 10x Is Easier Than 2x by Dan Sullivan and Dr. Benjamin Hardy Your Business Is A Theater Production: Your Back Stage Shouldn't Show On The Front Stage The Impact Filter™ The Great Crossover® by Dan Sullivan

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Rochelle Seltzer discuss:Embracing creativity for professional and personal growthManaging client relationships and workload creativelyBuilding an authentic personal brandUnlocking creativity in structured professions Key Takeaways:Lawyers can build a more fulfilling practice by choosing clients selectively, raising rates, and letting go of work that doesn't align with their strengths, helping to prevent burnout.Short breaks throughout the day, even just to breathe or walk, help the right brain process information freely, often leading to "aha" moments that strict schedules may block.Starting the day with a quick intention, like five minutes of journaling, creates a mental foundation for openness, curiosity, and meaningful progress in both work and life.Reconnecting with personal interests, like gardening, music, or cooking, releases creative energy, boosts motivation, sparks new ideas, and adds enthusiasm to daily tasks. "When you step one little baby step over your comfort zone—that line of your comfort zone—you're already in a more creative space." —  Rochelle Seltzer Join Steve on November 15th for an exclusive 60-minute session focused on actionable strategies for business growth.

It doesn't matter how much time you have; it's about how you make it count.” “The one thing you can do that will almost bulletproof your marriage is to pray intentionally with each other.” “As business owners, we waste more time than we realize. If you audit your time and where you're spending it, are those areas productive? I guarantee you, 100% of the time, it's not. In fact, only 20% of our time is actually spent on productive work. We need to flip the ratio to make 70% of our time productive.” “Business is personal because it involves people.” “What's ordinary to you is magic to other people.” “Actions speak louder than words. People want to be shown, not told.” “The more you affirm someone, the better it is for the relationship.” “The best leaders I've ever known have been the ones who, when something goes wrong, take the blame, even though they're not at fault. And when things go right, they pass the praise on, even if they were the one who did it right.” BOOKS MENTIONED: The Five Love Languages: The Secret to Love That Lasts by Gary Chapman (https://a.co/d/eR7Gpkd) One Word That Will Change Your Life by Jon Gordon (https://a.co/d/guS9X66) 10x Is Easier Than 2x: How World-Class Entrepreneurs Achieve More by Doing Less by Dan Sullivan, Dr. Benjamin Hardy (https://a.co/d/cKuQfF5) Keep Your Love on: Connection, Communication and Boundaries by Danny Silk (https://a.co/d/6rSfk4e) PODCASTS MENTIONED: The Ed Mylett Show (https://tinyurl.com/TheEdMylettShowPodcast) Tell Us a Good Story with Kevin and Stephanie Mason (https://tinyurl.com/TellUsAGoodStoryPodcast) USEFUL RESOURCES: https://marriedentrepreneur.co/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/robertfukui/  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kayleefukui/  https://www.instagram.com/thrivingintandem/ https://www.facebook.com/robert.fukui  https://www.facebook.com/kaylee.mullerfukui https://www.thetandembook.com/ “Tandem: The Married Entrepreneurs' Guide for Greater Work-Life Balance”  (https://a.co/d/2lxzGrg) Thriving in Tandem Podcast (https://tinyurl.com/ThrivingInTandemPodcast)  CONNECT WITH JOHN Website - https://thejohnhulen.com  Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/johnhulen  Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/johnhulen  Twitter - https://www.twitter.com/johnhulen   LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnhulen     YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLX_NchE8lisC4NL2GciIWA  EPISODE CREDITS Intro and Outro music provided by Jeff Scheetz - https://jeffscheetz.com/
