As we celebrate 500 episodes of Podcast Talent Coach, I want to share with you six mentors who have shaped my journey over the past 10 years. LEARNING FROM MENTORS I learned long ago that I don't know everything and never will. Every experience is an opportunity to learn something. Conferences and conventions are always such a powerful experience for me. Many people say they rarely go to the session and instead have conversations in the halls. I can understand that. But, I think they are missing the power of the collective mind. Mingling in the halls during a conference will definitely grow your network. It has a place in your business. However if you skip all the sessions, you are missing ideas that could take your business to an entirely new level. We would attend the Country Radio Seminar every year in radio. I would travel with my music director for the station. During the day, we would take in all the sessions of the conferences. At night, we would split up to attend events and network with artists and record labels. From the sessions, we would learn new ideas to implement with the stations. At night, we would network with people who could help us implement those ideas. Then one day our company decided it wasn't necessary for both of us to be there. That single decision cut our learning in half and diminished the networking we were able to do. The company thought the conference was nothing but a party. It may have been for those who spent all of their time in the halls. When you're learning from mentors and expanding your thinking, things are possible beyond your imagination. These six mentors helped my achieve levels bigger than I every dreamed. It is my hope that these nuggets spur some new ideas for you as well. DAN MILLER The first is the mentor who has influenced my life the longest. Dan Miller's book and podcast "48 Days To The Work You Love" inspired me to follow my dream and start my own business. Dan is author of the New York Times best-selling 48 Days To The Work You Love and Wisdom Meets Passion, No More Dreaded Monday and An Understanding Heart. His 48 Days Podcast consistently ranks in the top 1% of all podcasts worldwide and his 48DaysEagles.com community is viewed as an example around the world for those seeking to find – or create – the work and the life they love. His podcast sits at the center of his multiple streams of income. Unfortunately, we lost Dan in January of this year after a very brief battle with cancer. Dan's attitude through that entire struggle was impressive and uplifting. He kept asking as he always did, "What does this make possible?" Dan saw the silver lining in every cloud. He was an amazing man and a mentor to me in so many ways. Dan joined my on Episode 466 to discuss multiple streams of income. You can find the episode at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/466. DAN'S NUGGETS Here are a few nuggets from that episode. Resilience in the Face of Adversity: "When we hit Covid and I couldn't have live events for a couple years there, that had been a big resource for us, a big revenue stream, but not being able to have live events, it didn't really affect us. My revenue continued to go up because we made content available to people in other ways that they could experience, even if they didn't come to Franklin, Tennessee."— Dan Miller 00:24:39 – 00:25:03. Life Reassessment in Midlife Careers: "What surprised me is I had doctors and dentists and pastors and engineers and accountants showing up and why you guys here? And it was like, well, we're doing okay. You know, everybody looking in from the outside to see us is doing okay, but I don't think this is it."— Dan Miller 00:26:29 – 00:26:45. How to Turn Your Writing into Income: "How do you take just a raw idea and turn it into real income? But those came directly from people asking, how do I do that?"— Dan Miller 00:30:42 – 00:30:50. Easy Income Streams for Podcasters: "The easiest next step is coaching. Because if you have a podcast and you're talking about personal development and growth or business success or how to scale or those things, you're inevitably going to have people ringing your doorbell saying, can I talk to you?"— Dan Miller 00:44:47 – 00:45:43. I'll always cherish everything I've learned from Dan and all the inspiration he provided. You can find more about Dan at https://www.48days.com. MARC MAWHINNEY The next mentor who has been a big influence on me over the past decade and 500 episodes was one of my very first coaches. Marc Mawhinney is a lifelong entrepreneur who helps coaches get more clients without paid advertising! He achieves this with his coaching programs, his podcast Natural Born Coaches, his Facebook group The Coaching Jungle, and his Secret Coach Club. Marc has been a speaker at events like Social Media Marketing World, frequently makes media appearances and contributes for Entrepreneur.com. He is a master at joint venture partnerships. I discovered Marc through his Coaching Jungle Facebook group and he soon became my coach. He taught me the power of sending a daily email. Our coaching sessions helped me refine my offers and get my business to the next level.  Marc appeared on episode 333 with me to discuss the power of joint venture partnerships. You can find the episode at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/333. MARC'S GEMS Here are a few gems Marc shared during our conversation. Stand Firm on Your Beliefs: "Sure, you're going to turn some people off, but you're going to attract the people who you want to attract, and that's exactly what you do."— Marc Mawhinney 00:16:25 – 00:16:31. The Importance of Community for Coaches: "Whatever you do, you need a place to gather your potential clients. You know, people to get to know, like and trust you."— Marc Mawhinney 00:20:27 – 00:20:34. Viral Topic - The Power of Community: "I can't count how many times someone said to me, mark, I love your Facebook group. It's helped me so much the last few years."— Marc Mawhinney 00:20:55 – 00:21:44. I can't thank Marc enough for pointing me in the right direction with his coaching. Find Marc in his Coaching Jungle Facebook group. CINDY J. HOLBROOK One day Marc was invited to participate in a giveaway. It didn't fit in his marketing plan at the time, so he sent the organizer to me feeling we might work well together. That organizer was Cindy J, The Visibility Wiz. Not only did I participate in her giveaway, Cindy soon became my next coach and she's one of the best in the business. Cindy guides entrepreneurs and small business owners to thrive as you go up the ladder from being the best-kept secret to Trusted and In-Demand Authority. She has been coaching since 2009. Through our work together, Cindy taught me the power of visibility, how to use giveaways to grow my list, and ways to partner with others.  She is simply an all around great person. I love her to death and really appreciate all she has given me over the years. Cindy was on episode 479 of Podcast Talent Coach to talk about visibility. You can find the episode at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/479. CINDY'S SUGGESTIONS Here are a few things we learned in that episode. From Social Services to Coaching Success: "But I have all this knowledge of the online world that I utilized to get clients. And, I was able to leave social services within 2 years of becoming a coach, and that's when I started attending a lot of events. And people were constantly coming up to me."— Cindy J. Holbrook 00:20:23 – 00:20:41. Title: Maximizing Advertising DollarsQuote: "My advertising dollars goes towards participating in giveaways or speaking in front of people, you know, being a sponsor at events. That's where my advertising dollars go because I get more return on my money that way."— Cindy J. Holbrook 00:35:04 – 00:35:18. The Power of Collaboration: "I didn't start collaborating with other experts till, 2014. And that's what finally pushed me over to 6 figures was whenever I started collaborating with other experts."— Cindy J. Holbrook 00:39:11 – 00:39:24. How to Boost Your Business Today: "If you start doing something every day, you make sure you do at least 1 money making activity Monday through Friday or whatever your workdays are. You're going to start seeing an increase in everything, in visibility, influence, and profits."— Cindy J. Holbrook 00:42:44 – 00:42:58. Cindy is amazing when it come to leveling up your visibility. Find her online at https://www.cindyjholbrook.com. IMAN AGHAY After I was working with Cindy for a few months, she suggest I attend Collaborate. It was an amazing 3-day event to meet JV partners. This one event changed my business more than I could ever have imagined. At the time, Collaborate was run by Iman Aghay and Rich German. Iman has been so influential in so many aspects of my business. Through this event, Iman taught me how to properly joint venture with others. He has taught me how to create my courses and events. More importantly, Iman showed my how to sell what I do. Iman Aghay is a serial entrepreneur, international speaker, and a nine-time #1 best-selling author. He is best known as the co-founder of Actionera, a platform that assists experts in building mobile apps to enhance their income and impact. Iman hasn't been on the podcast. However, I did a deep dive into finding promotional partners using everything Iman taught me. You can find that in episode 391 at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/391. IMAN'S INSPIRATION Here are few takeaways from that episode. How to Skyrocket Your Podcast Growth: "Just imagine how your podcast and your business could grow if you could find 40 partners who would be willing to promote you to their fans, to their tribe, to their followers."— Erik K. Johnson 00:01:07 – 00:01:14. The Best Part of Pitch Refinement: "But the best part is everybody in the circle's on the same page with regard to who talks, what they talk about, how long they talk. There's no pressure. You don't need to awkwardly walk up to anyone to strike up a conversation like you would in a at a networking event."— Erik K. Johnson 00:06:20 – 00:06:38. Power of Partnerships: "I've been able to grow my email list from about 500 to nearly 4,500. My podcast downloads have doubled. I've made affiliate commissions from promoting those partners, and I had partners promote my courses and my coaching to their audience as well just to help me grow."— Erik K. Johnson 00:10:08 – 00:10:30. The Power of Partnership: "If you wanna go fast, travel alone. If you wanna go far, travel together."— Erik K. Johnson 00:10:53 – 00:11:01.

JIM PADILLA While I was attending one of the Collaborate events, Iman invited a guest speaker to that event. That guest talked a lot about actually making sales. He was Jim Padilla and he is my fifth mentor on this journey. Jim is a Global Impact Strategist & Investor and the founder and CEO of Gain The Edge. It's a done-for-you provider of industry-leading sales systems and unicorn sales professionals. Jim co-heads Gain the Edge with his amazing wife, Cyndi Padilla.

The transformation has been amazing. Jim joined me on episode 465 to discuss making sales. If you want to increase your sales, find this episode at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/465. JIM'S GENIUS Here are few nuggets from my conversation with Jim. From Struggle to Success: "And little did I know that, you know, 20 years later, I'd be making 1,000,000 of dollars teaching other people how to read the room and how to bend influence in their direction so you can be asset instead of a threat to the people who show up in your world, and then they wanna be able to buy from you and give you their credit card."— Jim Padilla 00:12:06 – 00:12:58. The Core of True Expertise: "What people need to dive into is they understand that you're an expert, but they really need to understand who you are as a person and why what you do matters."— Jim Padilla 00:19:07 – 00:19:11. Seeing Opportunities in Chaos: "All they see is all the problems that are in the world are truly just opportunities waiting to be solved if you know how to talk about it and know how to articulate it and to see things differently."— Jim Padilla 00:24:57 – 00:25:04. Maximizing Your Existing Network: "Most obvious buyers you have are the people who already bought from you."— Jim Padilla 00:44:07 – 00:44:10. Jim and Cyndi are amazing. Find them at https://www.gaintheedgenow.com. DAVE JACKSON The last mentor I want to share with you is the guy who became the inspiration for this podcast. In 2013 I was writing articles about podcasting for New Media Expo. Out of the blue, I got an email from Dave Jackson at the School of Podcasting. He was interested in having a conversation to see how we might support each other. During that conversation, Dave said he loved my articles. Then he asked why I didn't have a podcast of my own. Great question, Dave. If I'm writing about podcasting, shouldn't I have a show of my own. Shortly after that conversation, this show was born. And our friendship has continued over the years. Dave Jackson launched the School of Podcasting in 2005. He was inducted into the Podcasting Hall of Fame in 2018. He is the author of the book, Profit from Your Podcast: Proven Strategies to Turn Listeners into a Livelihood. Over the years he has launched over 30 different podcasts with over 4 million downloads. Dave and I currently co-host the Podcast Review Show where we help podcasters improve. You can find that show at https://www.podcastreviewshow.com. Dave was a guest on episode 485 to talk all things podcasting. You can listen to that episode at www.podcasttalentcoach.com/485. DAVE'S BRILLIANCE Here are a few takeaways from my conversation with Dave. Viral Topic: The Importance of Mic Technique: "When I moved into this house had no carpet, and it was just this giant echo chamber. So the first thing I did was, like, okay. We need we need a carpet. We need some rug, something like that."— Dave Jackson 00:32:58 – 00:33:07. The Blue Yeti Misconception: "Technically, it's not a bad microphone, but what most people overlook is that thing can pick up, if you want, in every single direction. Well, that's just screaming, pick up the neighbor's lawnmower and everything else."— Dave Jackson 00:33:44 – 00:33:57. Mastering Freelance Success: "If I'm trying to position myself as an expert, I either want to interview people who know the people that should be hiring me or in some cases, just interview the people who should be hiring me."— Dave Jackson 00:37:54 – 00:38:03. Big thanks to Dave Jackson for all the help and inspiration over the years. Find Dave at www.SchoolofPodcasting.com. FIND YOUR MENTOR Those are six mentors who have had the biggest impact on my journey. There are so many other people who have inspired, helped, and collaborated with me over the years and through these 500 episodes. I would never have enough time to name all of them. From my wife Jen, to Jon Fugler and the various members of our mastermind over the years. From the clients, partners, and supporters, each has played a part in this journey. But most of all, I want to thank you. Without your support week after week and episode after episode, this show would never have reached 500 episodes. Thanks for being here.

As a master sales trainer and expert team builder, he created and led a seven-figure international sales training team and has built high-performing sports and business teams for over 20 years. Jim has helped generate over a quarter billion dollars in sales growth for clients like Josh Turner and Zig Ziglar. In this episode: Most sales professionals focus too much on generating new leads and securing fast conversions. Yet 90% of your addressable market will purchase more than once. So how can you create a system that guides and nurtures repeat clients through the customer journey? Seasoned sales consultant Jim Padilla speaks to the value of systemizing and personalizing the customer journey. Most clients begin their trajectory by presenting a prevailing issue, so rather than rushing them through the purchasing process, take the time to provide relevant solutions. You can then guide them through the funnel by offering complimentary services that enhance value. Throughout the process, you must maintain consistent communication to ensure you remain top-of-mind. This may involve facilitating outreach efforts like surveys, referrals, and events. On today's Systems Simplified episode, Adi Klevit interviews Jim Padilla, the Founder and CEO of Gain The Edge, about creating a valuable sales system for clients. Jim describes the main differences between buyers, leads, and subscribers, how his upbringing influenced his sales career, and how to target existing customers.

To make more sales with your podcast, you need to identify the correct prospect. Rather than attracting everyone to your podcast, attract your ideal clients. Your ideal clients need to have four characteristics. PAIN First, they need to have a pain they know they have. Trying to convince someone they have a problem is a challenge. You don't want to try to convince someone they have a grub problem in their lawn when their lawn looks perfect. Your ideal client must also be actively trying to solve the problem. Many people want to lose weight. But, how many are actively seeking a solution for which they will pay money? This can't be any pain. It must be a problem causing great pain that the prospect will do anything to solve. WILLING AND ABLE TO BUY Next, they need to have the ability to buy your stuff. As much as broke people might need your solution, it does you no good if they can't afford to spend the money. On the other hand, don't assume they can't afford it. Your situations or beliefs around money is not equal to their status. Ability to buy also means being willing to spend money on your solution rather than another opportunity. EASY TO FIND If they have a known pain and are able to buy, you need to be able to find those prospects. You can't afford to market to everyone. That's why it is so important to define your niche. You need to be able to find people or platforms that already have the attention of your ideal client. This will allow you to make them aware of your solution. EXPANDING MARKET Finally, you should be in an expanding market. Trying to sell recording tape in a digital world would not be wise. That market is shrinking. Markets that are expanding would be artificial intelligence, electric vehicles and podcasting.

These are 9 of the 24 summit session you'll enjoy at the Podcast Profits Summit. SHARE YOUR MESSAGE First, you podcast allows you to share your message and leave your impact on the world. Your listeners get to hear your voice, experience your passion, and get impacted by your expertise. You have a message to share. People need what you know. Your podcast makes that possible. Janelle Anderson will join us on the Podcast Profits Summit with "How to Ensure Your Message Isn't Just Heard, But Felt". This is how you make your impact on the world by sharing your message. Known as the Speaking Confidence Coach for coaches, Janelle is a Certified Professional Coach, author, and renowned speaker. Janelle is on a mission to empower coaches to launch on a strong foundation of clear messaging aimed at the audience most aligned with their passions and strengths, then grow their business through masterful speaking and storytelling. YOUR PASSION Next, your podcast allows you to build a business around something you love. As the old saying goes, "Do what you love and you'll never work another day in your life." Your podcast gives you the opportunity to build your business around that one thing you love. Jeanette Shorey taught music in schools for over 2 decades. She now hosts Stories That Sing. Her community is called the Happy Music Teacher. It is full of resources and community for elementary music teachers all promoted by her podcast. During the Podcast Profits Summit, Jeanette will talk about building a business around your passion. DISCOVERY Third, your podcast helps you get discovered. So many coaches come to me struggling to build their audience. How do I get more listeners, more downloads, more clients? When you build it right, your podcast can be a powerful tool to get you discovered. Search engine optimization is often mysterious to many people. It doesn't need to be that way. With a few of the right tools and strategies, you can show up in searches and get discovered using your podcast. On the Podcast Profit Summit, Daniel J. Lewis will join us with "Make Your Podcast Discoverable with Search Engine Optimization (SEO)". Daniel is the host of "The Audacity to Podcast". You'll definitely want to catch this session. Remember, going VIP on the summit will get you the recordings of every session of the summit along with other amazing resources. THE TOP OF YOUR FUNNEL Next, your podcast can sit at the top of your funnel. To grow your business, your client needs a path to follow. We call it the funnel. You offer free content to give people a taste of what you do. Get people to take action by allowing them to download a free resource in exchange for their name and email address. We call this the lead magnet. After nurturing the relationship through your email list, you make an offer to your audience and turn them into clients. Your podcast is the top of that funnel. This is where you give listeners that free content. Your podcast makes your funnel possible. Trent True will join us on the Podcast Profits Summit to discuss how to demystify your podcast funnel. ATTRACT IDEAL CLIENTS The fifth thing your podcast makes possible is attracting ideal clients. We talk about this a ton on Podcast Talent Coach. Your podcast makes powerful conversations possible every week. There are few things more powerful than being in the ear of a person having a one-on-one conversation sharing your stories. This is how people get to know, like and trust you. If you want to get more clients for your business, your podcast will make that possible. I am giving you that during the Podcast Profits Summit. It is called "5 Ways to Attract Your Ideal Clients with Your Podcast". BUILD RAPPORT TO MAKE SALES Next, your podcast makes more sales possible. There are many ways to make sales. Being authentic, building rapport, and getting others to help are three important pieces to that process. Collaboration is an amazing way to get in front of more potential clients and make sales. Jim Padilla is my coach and will bring "Leveraging the Power of Collaboration to Make Sales" to the Podcast Profits Summit. Jim is the founder and CEO of Gain the Edge and host of the "Opportunity Makers" podcast. This is definitely a conversation you'll want to revisit again and again. You can do that when you go VIP for the Podcast Profits Summit. All VIPs get recordings of all the sessions. You also get VIP gifts from the speakers, my guide to attracting clients, and my course "How To Crush Your Next Podcast Interview Like A Radio Pro". Get registered and go VIP at http://www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/summit. STAGES Things your podcast makes possible number 7 is speaking opportunities. Your podcast is like a demo reel. Not only can you attract stage owners, you can also show them what you do and how you do it. Being on stage is a great way to get in front of potential clients. There are a variety of stages. Get on stages and turn those audiences into clients. Kimberly Crowe is the host of Speakers Playhouse and Podapalooza. She brings us "How Coaches and Entrepreneurs Can Instantly Profit By Speaking on Four Types of Stages" during the Podcast Profits Summit. JV OPPORTUNITIES Next, your podcast makes joint venture opportunities possible. You now have a stage to share with other experts. The can interview you on their stages in return. You can also promote joint venture partners and make affiliate commissions. Marc Mawhinney runs the Coaching Jungle. It is a group of over 25,000 on Facebook. Marc also does joint venture in a unique way. He also hosts the podcast "Natural Born Coaches". He will share his process with us during "Creating Unique and Powerful Joint Ventures" on the Podcast Profits Summit. MULTIPLE STREAMS OF INCOME Finally, your podcast makes possible multiple streams of income. Your podcast sits at the center of your business. The podcast can feed multiple other revenue streams. It could be speaking, writing, coaching, courses, and a variety of other streams. You simply need to build it properly. Dan Miller is author of 48 Days to the Work You Love. He hosts the podcast of the same name and runs the 48 Days Eagles Community. Dan's podcast sits at the center of his revenue universe. He will show us how he does it during "Creating Multiple Streams of Income With Your Podcast". It's all part of the Podcast Profits Summit.

SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of The AI for Sales Podcast, host Chad is joined by Jim Padilla, the founder and CEO of Gain the Edge, to share his journey from a troubled childhood to becoming a successful sales expert. He emphasizes the importance of enhancing the human experience with AI rather than replacing it. Jim discusses how he leverages AI, particularly Chat GPT, to gain insights and enhance his ability to connect with people. He also highlights the need for caution when using AI in sales, as it should not manipulate relationships or deceive customers. Jim believes that AI should be used to support and uplift humans, rather than replace them. KEY TAKEAWAYSEnhancing the human experience with AI is more valuable than replacing it.AI can be used to create personas and advisory boards, providing valuable input and strategy.Caution should be exercised when using AI to ensure it does not manipulate relationships or deceive customers.AI should be used to support and uplift humans, rather than replace them.QUOTES"In sales, time kills deals. In AI for Sales, AI kills time." - Dr. Joel Aban"How do we enhance the human experience versus replace it? Or if it's going to be replaced, then what's the role it now can move the human into?""Honesty is the best policy with AI. Give people a choice and let them know they're not talking to a human.""Salespeople provide a transaction, but all of these other things are how you enhance all the opportunities for increased results through those transactions.""Qualified booked appointments are the most significant metric for success in sales.""Fine-tune your automation and provide a predictable path for your sales team to follow.""AI should be for the benefit of humans, not just the benefit of progress."Learn more about Jim and connect with him in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimpadilla/Website: https://www.gaintheedgenow.com/Learn more about AI for Sales with Chad:LinkedIn Group: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/12811259/LinkedIn Personal Page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chadburmeister/YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@TheAIforSalesPodcastTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ai4salesFacebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/theaiforsalespodcast/Twitter Page: https://twitter.com/saleshackThe AI For Sales Podcast is sponsored by our proud partners:BDR.ai | https://www.bdr.ai/TruVersity | https://www.truversity.com/

https://youtu.be/-XA5XW8_KjU Jim Padilla is the founder and CEO of Gain the Edge, a sales service firm that provides business owners with top-notch sales teams, live events, and hands-free sales processes and systems. We talk about the Rainmaker Sales System, the role of emotions in buying decisions, and how to improve your control over the sales process.   --- Make the Mechanism Message with Jim Padilla Our guest is Jim Padilla, founder and CEO of Gain the Edge, a sales service firm that provides you with top-notch sales teams, live events, and a hands-free sales process and system. Jim, welcome to the show. Thanks so much for having me, Steve. Glad to be here. Great to have you here. And I'm curious to learn about your entrepreneurial journey. How did your career take you to running a sales services firm? Well, you know, it started with me having a bit of a rough childhood. And, you know, I grew up in an abusive environment. So I ended up in foster care when I was very young. And then on the streets at 16 and in jail by 19. And you can imagine all the skills you learn in the first 20 years of life when you have to read the room and recognize how to bend the will of everybody your direction so that you could stay alive. And little did I know that 20 years later, I'd be making millions of dollars teaching other people how to read the room and influence people into your direction so that they see you as an asset and not as a threat. So, you know, one thing led to another and it became, you know, sales training was a space, but then we got invited to provide, be a sales team, sales solution for a big, you know, up and coming rock star in the coaching industry, Bill Barron at the time, where he wanted, he didn't want us to train his team, he wanted us to be the team. And so we stepped in to do a million dollar launch with him. And all of a sudden, two weeks later, a line was at the door. When we had people come into us for the next two years, we did nothing but live events and launches where we were providing the strategy, providing the sales teams and making it go. And then people wanted us to stick around between launches and sell for them all year long. So then all of our systems and strategies and processes lent itself towards building sales teams, building sales systems. And, you know, eight years later, here we are as a, you know, most loved and well-respected go-to solution for sales teams. So what is the difference between selling in a launch and just selling between launches in general? There are two different animals. Selling during a launch or an event, there's a defined journey. Whether it's a three days, seven days, 21 days, there's a beginning, a middle and an end. There's a high volume of activity, big increases, like a red carpet activity. There's stuff going on and everybody's, there's increased emails, increased activities, increased communication, a lot of energy. Everybody starts and stops at the same time. And so sales, you just have to navigate the gaps and create that and continue the conversation versus an evergreen environment where you have to create all of the activity. You have to create the excitement. It's ongoing every day. Things aren't changing. So you have to create the level of energy. You have to create a beginning, a middle, and an end for the client in that journey, as well as for the team in that journey, so that there's some energy and a clear finish line to get across. It's almost like sales through remote control, where you don't actually are in control, you're hoping that you are in control, but you don't exactly see what's happening in the distance, whether the you know, how hot the sales prospect is, how engaged they are with wanting to buy what you have, or do you have some control over that? Well, you do you have a lot more control than you think. Number one, if you have a really powerful process that leads people predictably towards an intersection of making a great decision,

Jim's mission is to help purpose-driven thought-leaders untangle themselves from the day-to-day minutiae of seeking leads and sales for their business so they're free to amplify their impact - while scaling their business to the moon (and beyond)! When Jim's not making dollars rain down from the sky, you'll regularly find him at the driving range - hitting a bucket of balls.    Jim credits his time on the driving range as the main source of his best ideas.

Those bitten by the entrepreneurial spirit love dreaming big. Brainstorming, strategizing, and setting ambitious goals - it's what gets them up in the morning. The trouble so many run into, however, is implementing the systems needed for long-term scalability and success. And one of those systems that fall by the wayside is sales.   Jim Padilla, Owner and Founder of Gain the Edge, is on the show today to talk about how he helps business owners rapidly grow their sales without you having to make a single sales call or hire another sales person…ever.    If sales just aren't your thing - or you don't have the time to hire, train, or babysit a sales team, Gain the Edge can step into that role for you. You still get to strategize and plan, but the implementation is handled by Jim and his team of experts, so you can keep your focus on other matters. If you're in a service-based industry and looking for some help, tune into this episode and then contact Jim to get started.   What You'll Learn: How he sets up a structure to make sales over time The advantages of having a “hands-off” role when it comes to sales How his team becomes an extension of you and your business How his background (foster care, prison) shaped him into the person he is today His favorite passive income plays …and more!

That means you're not scalable.”   Connect with Jim: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jimpadilla/ https://www.facebook.com/jimpadilla02 https://www.instagram.com/jimpadilla_/ https://www.jimp360.com/   How To Get Involved: Matthew Meehan and Luigi Rosabianca use their combined experience to provide insight and strategic advice to help small and medium-sized businesses in America have the same opportunities as corporate 500 companies.

Jim Padilla, CEO of Gain The Edge, specializes in helping companies that want to increase their sales. With over 20 years of experience, Jim is a launch expert that knows how to scale a business by driving sales forward. Jim's one big tip is to treat your sales pitch like a relaxed conversation at the beach with a friend. Follow along as Jim shares strategies on different ways to increase conversions, increase your profits, and scale your business through sales teams and a soft-sell approach.What started as a survival strategy for a young boy turned into a million-dollar niche business. With a rough childhood, Jim survived by learning how to read people and how to influence them. With his first endeavor into sales, his company was a huge success that created a stir in the industry. Today, Gain the Edge is one of the most successful experts in their industry. They deliver over a quarter billion dollars worth of sales and manage hundreds of annual events with over 25,000 yearly conversions. A lucrative business starts with a solid sales strategy and a team that can implement that strategy. The way to build a successful sales team is to have everyone be on board the same ship. Every person you hire should understand the values of your brand so they can create a cohesive message, from idea to end sale. Another essential factor in creating a solid sales team is the ability to close the deal. Every company has a lead generation system or process in place. Yet not every business has a closer to seal the deal and make the sale. Jim's team comes in at that step and helps you polish up the offer, package it, and make it more captivating for your target audience. This way, you close more deals and make more sales. Once you have a clear idea of your avatar and you can pinpoint the solution to their problem, sales are easy. It's when you are trying to sell someone on an idea when they're not sure they have a problem or don't feel you have a solution that makes closing a sale difficult. That is where most companies get stuck. They don't have a clear directive or connection between pain point and solution.Jim encourages businesses to:Focus on the outcome and experience they can offer their clients and customers.Create a sales process and strategy around the client experience.Understand the value your company or brand brings to the situation.For instance, if your target consumer has a specific problem, you want to build your entire sales directive around that solution. All strategies should stem from that point so that your strategy is cohesive. It helps to put all the goals and objectives down on one piece of paper to see your benchmarks and expectations. Everyone on the team should have that list in front of them so that every action they take is in furtherance of those expectations. Think of the sales process as an orchestra. If you want the orchestra to play synchronously, every musician needs to have the same music notes in front of them. Keeping an eye on all the system's moving parts is essential. You need to build a pipeline for your sales. That's where all the money is. You need to know the platforms you will be using for your sales. Everything becomes a metric that should have the ability to change as needed. The best sales teams are consistently reducing client acquisition costs. One strategy that Jim feels is a no-fail strategy is systematizing. When you build a system, you can measure your success. To increase revenue and reach the mountaintop, you want clients that come back to you 12 and 18 months later. This also reduces client acquisition costs, which is essential due to the state of the world economy. You only want to see client acquisition costs rise when your lifetime value increases. The higher acquisition costs are, the lower your profit margin, regardless of salSupport the show

Hiring new salespeople won't solve your problem! In this episode, I chat with Jim Padilla, CEO of Gain the Edge, about why having sales processes is actually the most crucial to the success of any business (and not changing up your salespeople).The idea of process in sales is something disliked by many people who view sales as an art form. It's true that there IS a certain aspect of sales that comes down to skills and ability, but the process needs to be there in order to make your sales consistent.It's no secret that the sales process has drastically changed. Yet very few companies have adapted to these changes. Companies still tend to educate salespeople on the products they sell, rather than on the problems that they can solve for customers. As Jim Padilla and I discuss, knowing about a product is irrelevant if you don't know the problem that you can solve with it.By thinking about process in sales, you can develop a long term method for generating revenue. Sales processes allow you to keep one eye on the present, while making sure that the foundation is being laid out for future success.When you systematize the sales process, you allow your entire team to become excellent salespeople. Get clear on what you can solve. Have a core story that everyone can share.Having a process in sales is about making your whole team rockstar closers. As you might learn from this conversation of mine with Jim Padilla, your problem might not be your salespeople. You may just need to get the right sales processes, and you'll have continued success for a long time to come.--------------------CONNECT WITH PETER BOOLKAH:--------------------http://www.Boolkah.comhttps://www.facebook.com/Boolkahhttps://www.instagram.com/pboolkah/https://www.linkedin.com/in/boolkahhttps://twitter.com/boolkah--------------------ABOUT PETER BOOLKAH--------------------Peter Boolkah (AKA The Transition Guy) is the World's #1 Business Transition Coach whose main passion in life is to work with talented and high performing business owners who are in the process of creating exciting, high growth businesses. Peter helps you to navigate and transition through the crucial growth pains that all growing businesses experience making it as painless and exciting as possible.It is important to remember that businesses do not just grow and develop on their own, it is up to us and our teams to make this happen by making every day purposeful. As businesses grow some parts of the journey will be easier than others and most owners do not have all the answers.

For my 400th episode, I've reached out to 7 of my favorite podcasters to share the strategy they use to grow their business. THE BEGINNING This podcast actually started as a blog. After writing for a few months, Dave Jackson from School of Podcasting reached out. Dave is an amazing, generous expert in the podcasting space. I had listened to many of his episodes and knew what he was all about. One Saturday afternoon in 2013, Dave and I jumped on the phone. He told me he saw my stuff on the New Media Expo blog and liked what I was offering. Over the next hour, Dave and I talked about our past, what we were doing online and our visions for the future. We realized there were many ways we could help each other. At one point, Dave asked why I didn't have a podcast. Great question. Podcasters would probably be more interested in listening to a podcast rather than reading a blog. So, I pivoted. On that call, I decided I would launch my own show to help podcasters improve their content and give them more confidence in their show. The first episode of Podcast Talent Coach was published on July 19, 2013. I'd love to say I've published a show every week since. But, that's not the case. I've had plenty of battles with Impostor Syndrome and motivation. There was one summer early on when I wasn't sure I was on the right path. No new episodes were published for a few months. I finally got back on track and have been publishing fresh content ever since. INTERVIEWS Most episodes of the show have been solo shows. Just me sharing information to help you transform your information into entertainment. On Episode 100, I had the first voice on my podcast that wasn't mine. That episode featured other podcasters asking questions. Episode 204 featured my first pseudo-interview. It was actually a coaching sessing with Tony Muckleroy of Jeep Talk Show. This actually became one of my most popular episodes. Probably because Tony is so great. My first real interview happened on Episode 276. Zoe Routh joined us to talk about the ways she uses her podcast to grow her business. Over the years, I've interviewed a few other experts. But, most of my episodes are still solo shows. Teaching has been my strategy. This may change in the future. After 400 episodes, I'm starting to feel the itch to talk to others. That's the great thing about podcasting. It's your show. You can do anything you'd like. You make the rules. We'll see how things go. I just want to thank you for being on the ride with me. GROW YOUR BUSINESS On this episode, 7 of my favorite podcasters will share their strategy to use their podcast to grow their business. DAN MILLER When I first started my online journey, I started following Dan Miller. He is the best selling author of 48 Days To The Work You Love. He hosts the 48 Days podcast as well. I discovered Dan through Dave Ramsey. The year isn't so clear, but I believe the first product I purchased from Dan came in 2011. Here is Dan sharing how his strategy to use his podcast to drive his business. Thanks, Dan. Find Dan Miller at https://www.48days.com/listen/. DAVE JACKSON As I mentioned, Dave Jackson was instrumental in the creation of this podcast. He and I also host the Podcast Review Show together. You can find that at https://www.podcastreviewshow.com. Dave also uses his show to drive his business. Thanks, Dave. You can find Dave Jackson at https://schoolofpodcasting.com/episodes/. JON FUGLER While growing my business, I discovered Internet Business Mastery. While in that group, I met Jon Fugler. Jon wanted to start a mastermind and was looking for members. I took him up on the invitation. On February 18, 2017, I was sitting in the parking lot of the ice rink on the campus of Iowa State University. My son was there for a tournament. This was our first mastermind call. Over the years, our mastermind had a variety of members. But, Jon and I have been consistent since that first call. Jon has radio experience just like me. He played college baseball as did his boys. At the time, Jon was running Recruit Me to help students land college sports scholarships without hiring an advisor. He has a great story of getting out of that business and into his faith. Here is Jon. Thanks a ton, Jon. You can find Jon Fugler at https://www.freshfaith247.com. MARC MAWHINNEY There always comes a time when you realize you don't know what you don't know. That's when you need a coach. That came for me in March of 2019. Marc Mawhinney runs the Coaching Jungle Facebook Group. He hosts the Natural Born Coaches podcast and is an amazing coach. I discovered Marc while working through a program to improve my sales. One of the instructors in that course recommended Marc. I joined his group, listened to his show and hired him as my coach. Here is Marc's strategy to drive his business with is podcast. Thanks, Marc. You can find Marc Mawhinney at https://www.naturalborncoaches.com/episodes/ MIKE VAN PELT Mike Van Pelt and I connected in 48 Days Eagles with Dan Miller. I helped Mike launch his True Man podcast. Mike has a huge heart and helps men with his coaching. Here is Mike sharing his strategy to grow his business. Thanks, Mike. You can find Mike Van Pelt at http://truemanpodcast.com/. MICHAEL GRIFFITHS I am always looking for great ways to grow your audience and business. While working with Marc Mawhinney, I started pursuing joint venture partnerships. The power of partnerships is amazing. Referrals are also an amazing way to get in front of your ideal customers. One day on Marc's podcast, I heard Michael Griffiths. He is the founder of Referral Marketing Guru and hosts the Get More Referrals Today podcast. As a referral expert, of course Michael uses his podcast to build relationships. You can find Michael Grittiths at https://www.referralmarketingguru.com.au JIM PADILLA Now that I have build my courses and coaching programs, I need help creating a selling process.
