Episode 038: In this episode of The Connected Advisor, Kyle Van Pelt is joined by John Barrows, Founder and CEO of JB Sales. John has a wealth of experience in all aspects of business and sales, from making 400 dials a week to leading a self-funded team from startup through acquisition, starting his own business, and now working with some of the world's fastest-growing and most dynamic companies. He believes that, when done right, sales is one of the greatest professions in the world, but when done wrong, it's one of the worst.  John talks with Kyle about bringing rainmakers back to the financial services industry. They delve into the challenges sales professionals face and the need for a strong work ethic to succeed. John emphasizes the value of having a plan, working hard, and consistently adding value to clients. He also shares practical tips on how to cut through the noise, build a personal brand, and leverage AI in sales and marketing. Join us as we discuss: [02:12] - What stops people from being rainmakers. [07:10] - What hard work means in today's day and age. [11:42] - Utilizing networking groups for lead generation. [14:28] - How salespeople can cut through the noise and get recognized. [16:36] - A story about how providing value makes a difference in financial services.

Key Takeaways In sales, having a strong work ethic is crucial for success. Sales professionals need to put in the effort and have a clear plan to achieve their goals. Building a personal brand requires consistently adding value to your audience. To cut through the noise, sales professionals should have a reason for every client interaction.  AI can be a valuable tool in sales and marketing, but it should augment the advisor's role rather than replace it. Sales professionals can leverage AI to curate content, stay updated on industry trends, and provide personalized insights to clients. Quotes "Touching base and checking in should be erased from every sales rep's and producer's vocabulary. They should start every conversation with, 'The reason for my call is.' If you cannot finish that sentence, you should not make the phone call. And it better be something better than, 'I'm going to sell you something.'" ~ John Barrows  "Most people don't build their brands because there are no short-term results and no short-term gratification to it. A brand is a long-term play, but especially in this world of AI, if you are not working on your brand, AI is going to take over your brand." ~ John Barrows  "There's always somebody one step ahead of you, and there's always somebody one step behind you. Follow the people who are one step ahead of you, consume their content, and then translate it down to the people who are one step behind you." ~ John Barrows Links  John Barrows on LinkedIn John Barrows on Twitter John Barrows on Instagram JB Sales Northwestern Mutual Feedly Michael Kitces The Challenger Sale The Challenger Customer The JOLT Effect Perplexity Crystal Knows Greenlights Make It Happen Mondays Podcast Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Google Podcasts Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

How she was able to get away, and how her company had proven what they were all about. Hope you'll find your inspiration and the will to continue as Iry did. Looking to get hired as an SDR?

Here's the hard truth founders often don't want to hear. Whatever you're building isn't cool enough to sustain without sales. If you don't build your entire organization around sales, you'll fail eventually. My today's guest for Coffee with Closers has provided sales training and consulting services to some of the world's fastest-growing companies like Google, Slack, Tableau, DropBox… And all those companies eventually got sales reps even though many of them would pride themselves on having a product-led growth model. Meet John Barrows, the CEO of JB Sales and author of the sales book for kids, I Want to be in Sales When I Grow Up. As an inside sales rep, he would make 400 cold calls a week to eventually become the VP of Sales at his first startup, which was later sold to Staples. ►Why is it important to start a business with a partner who has a different skill set than yours? ►What is the minimum viable structure for someone trying to build a sales team? ►How do you become a great sales leader and hire the right people for the organization? ►How do you approach prospecting as an account executive? ►How do you leverage content to create sales opportunities? Enjoy!

Salespeople are free to be “who we can be,” says Nikki Ivey, who used a career in sales to leave life in the housing projects far behind. From first working at a used car lot in Hinesville, GA., she rose to become a newly hired key executive at John's company, JB Sales. As a director of training she wants to lead by example, and as a Black female executive in corporate America, “it's definitely about what people coming up right now are seeing as possible through me.” … John and Nikki “go there” and discuss race and racial identity in America and the sales profession.

It is hard to believe this is Episode 104, which marks the 2 year anniversary of the show. I started the show just as an idea, and I really did not even know what I was doing. 2 Years later, I have shown up for 104 straight weeks learning in public as I share the conversations I've had with world-class professionals across all industries. From TedX Speakers, Ex-Navy Seals, to the world's best sales leaders and practitioners, this journey has been something I could have never expected, and we are just getting started! This week's guest is the first repeat guest on the show, John Barrows. John is the Founder and CEO of JB Sales, which he founded as a response to the incredibly limited amount of formal academic sales training. I first met John while interviewing at JB Sales, and had him as my guest for episode 34, where I just introduced the Sales Series of the show. In today's episode, we discussed: John's First Job Selling Pumpkins How You Have To Earn Everything Is Sales More Art or Science? The Need For Process Design Thinking Energy Management Much More!

On this episode of Optimized Sales, Matt and Sean sit down with James "Saywhatsales" Buckley, the high-energy Chief Evangelist & Master of Ceremonies at JB Sales. They walk through his journey from career chef to sales, how he overcame his battle with addiction, and how a type 2 diabetes scare forced him on his current journey of health and fitness that not only helped him improve personally but also professionally.  

How to Become an Influential Connector & Win at Networking Events with James Buckley; What makes connecting with other people so tough?  And what can you do to start winning at networking events in a post-pandemic world?  James Buckley, Chief Evangelist & Master of Ceremonies at JB Sales, teaches some of the world's greatest salespeople how to sell (and connect) better. Right now, networking events are a challenge even for seasoned sales pros – because what used to work is no longer effective in a post-pandemic world. Quick, transactional exchanges are becoming less and less common, so it's critical for sellers to evolve with the times. Want to learn how to become a master connecter and win at networking events? Click the play button and i'll see you on the other side. What We Discuss; (03:07) James' long journey to success (04:18) James' turning point as a leader (06:30) Childhood challenges and addiction (11:02) Why so many people seem to struggle with networking and connecting with others (12:18) 2 ways to prepare for a networking event (16:15) The first thing you should do at an event (18:09) How to become interesting by being interested in the other person (21:40) The importance of body language (30:14) Adding value in a new connection (36:00) Tailoring approaches (41:15) An influential communicator James looks up to Valuable Insights and Key Topics; Connecting with others can be more difficult if you're not continually evolving your networking skills with the times. A quick handshake and card exchange is no longer as effective as it was a couple years ago.  New salespeople, who may not have participated in networking events before, have no frame of reference for the way networking happens today. That's okay – it's important to keep expectations reasonable and learn on "the job". You can prepare for an event by making a list of target people you'd like to meet, and by using visualization techniques to boost your confidence beforehand.  Notable Quotes; “...we can't close deals without a strong relationship that has an element of trust baked into it. So that's what I do.” – James (14:32) Useful Resources; Ravi Rajani https://www.theravirajani.com/podcast https://www.linkedin.com/in/ravirajani/ https://www.tiktok.com/@theravirajani James Buckley https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamessaywhatsalesbuckley/ https://www.tiktok.com/@saywhatsales?lang=en https://twitter.com/saywhatsales Want to learn more about Insightly, our sponsor of this week's show?

[30:38] - What if your side hustle is better than your primary source of income? [32:04] - Managers don't like to be told about their opinion, but if you bring data in, leaders would be stupid not to listen.

To this day, John believes that in order for salespeople to advance their careers, they must continue to educate themselves. Sharing impactful tips and techniques from his own experience, and equipping salespeople with tools to succeed, are what motivate him to do this work. https://jbarrows.com/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/johnbarrows/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/jbarrows-sales-training/about/ https://www.youtube.com/JBarrowsSalesTraining https://twitter.com/JohnMBarrows https://www.tiktok.com/@jbsalestraining https://www.tiktok.com/@johnmbarrows https://www.instagram.com/johnmbarrows/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/120105888698526/ --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/saasholes/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/saasholes/support

Host Paul Owen meets John Barrows, Founder and CEO of JB Sales, specialists in sales training and consultancy services. John and his team have worked with the likes of Salesforce, Google and Dropbox as well as many other fast-growing names in the tech world. Based in Boston, Massachusetts, John has helped teams across the USA and around the world, clocking up 2 million air miles as he takes his message of 'Sell Better' to every continent. 3 key areas are discussed in each episode with an experienced business leader: 1. What makes a successful sales team? 2. How to motivate yourself and your teams when growing a business; 3. The role of leadership in company growth. Tune in to hear John's views on: The difference between leadership and management (and why he's terrible at one of them!); The advice he would give his 22-year-old self; Why 'How you sell' is more important than 'What you sell'; How most companies get sales team onboarding wrong (and how to fix that); and Why he wrote a book on sales with his daughter to help her sell cookies for the Girl Scouts! 

This episode mostly isn't about sales. But every part of it is dripping with takeaways for sales pros. In it, Darryl is joined by James #SayWhatSales Buckley, Chief Evangelist and Master of Ceremonies at JB Sales (aka J Barrows). In a bumper episode they talk the link between mental and physical health, how that can both impact and echoes your sales career, and an exceptional example of insight you need to pitch right.

Devin Reed thought twice before leaving a successful sales career to become a marketing executive for Gong, the AI-fueled sales intelligence company known for its must-read blog. “It took me a long time to get good” at selling, he says, but a commitment to serving others learned from the Bible led him to assisting his co-workers in making their sales. Today as Gong's head of content strategy he says successful marketers need to recognize their company's top annual goal and “attach everything that you do to support it in some way.” Hear Morgan and Devin share how Kobe Bryant inspired them as much with his grit and hustle as with his basketball talent.

James Buckley from JB Sales,Maryville,USA who is called as James “saywhatsales” said about his work and answered some of my questions. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

The State of Modern Selling Ft. James Buckley The sales industry has lost most of its credibility. It's largely due to the obsession with efficiency at the sacrifice of effectiveness. The culprit responsible for the death of the salesperson is sales automation technology, which caused the gross overuse of scripted high-volume messaging, turning sales into a half-rate assembly line.    "You can't grow professionally unless you are willing to grow personally" —James Buckley   Key Takeaways:  It's YOUR responsibility to learn, grow, and succeed as a sales professional.  Don't solely rely on your employer, your boss, or any external factor to enable you to become successful in sales. Often employers do not get you the training or provide the right resources to help you get to where you want to be, so don't be afraid to acquire the right training or mentorship of your own volition.    You must EARN the opportunity to sell to somebody.  A salesperson's job is to help find a solution to a problem that is presented to them, not sell a product or service. You must discuss the prospect's current situation to understand the cause rather than shove a solution in their face to help patch a symptom. Dig deep and understand the situation.  Avoid saying “I” or "we" when reaching out to a prospect.  IT'S NOT ABOUT YOU! Using "I" or "we" make it about you. Stop and re-read the message you're about to send and think, "Is this message about them or me?" Put yourself in the buyer's shoes and think about the idea behind your messaging. "Is that how I'd want to be approached?"  Invest the time to build a personal brand.  Your sales numbers and success rates can be top-notch at the company you're working at, but you can't take 'em with you. You can take a personal brand with you!  If you have a decent one, you're far more likely to get hired somewhere, and it becomes easier to sell since you appear trustworthy and reliable publicly.    About James  As Chief Evangelist at JB Sales, James Buckley has the pleasure of joining some of the best minds in business and "edutaining" millions of salespeople on their journey. JB Sales events and memberships are helping sellers become the best sales professionals they can be... Because they deserve it.  The front lines of sales have never been more valuable. They need the skills and techniques to help them achieve goals consistently, grow personally and professionally, and ultimately become leaders in their industries. Salespeople now have the power (and choice) to take their destiny into their own hands.  His organization's mission is to help salespeople set more meetings, close more deals, build the best personal brands, and win more often with resources that constantly help them level up their game.  Reach out to James directly - james@jbarrows.com.

This is not the way in 2022. This is the way to get bad reviews. This is the way for people to tell 10,000 others in their network not to do business with you." James: "I think people will pay more for a better customer experience all day, everyday. Especially if you can articulate the value in an effective manner, it's really difficult to say no to you."Collin: "For me, the question is how are you going to, as a sales organization, start to focus on more quality over quantity, and not try to play the numbers game."James: "The science is very clear, we know, 16 to 20 touches is what it takes to generate a meaningful conversation with a cold prospect. So, most people giving up after six, you're not even halfway there." James: "Know your real worth as a front-line salesperson and don't tie it to a number.
