In this show, Lukie is joined by Tom Ivers, who has been on an awesome run.Ivers' great run in May includes: Naoya Inoue-Junto Nakatani, Fabio Wardley-Daniel Dubois, and now Filip Hrgovic-Dave Allen. Tom gives his thoughts on this. Then, we talk about Hrgovic-Allen. Why was it a thing? What is the sentiment about Allen that gives him so many chances? Also, Top Rank's debut on DAZN…thoughts? Plus, junior welterweight Keyshawn Davis won his rematch against Nahir “Woo” Albright, BUT he missed weight for the second time in three fights. This is not to be overlooked; yes, it was smaller in this instance, but it is a trend. What is bigger in your opinion, the fight result or the weigh-in story? Also, Brian Norman Jr gets a quick second-round stoppage win over Josh Wagner. Yan Santana won a close (and debatable) unanimous decision victory over Cristian Cruz. Oh, and Kelvin Davis won an uninspired split decision over Pete Dobson. On the way out, we talk about welterweight Paddy Donovan and his win over Karen Chukhadzhian. It was an IBF title eliminator, meaning the winner will face the winner of the current belt holder, Lewis Crocker versus Liam Paro, next month.

IT'S THE NEW AGE FOR SDRsJoshua discusses the few potential strategies for leveraging the SDR team in your organization with demandDrive Director of Marketing AJ Alonzo in this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast. The SDR job is difficult, but because it has historically been predicated on volume, it is frequently seen as being at the bottom of the totem pole. However, it doesn't have to be that way anymore. If given further training and chances, your SDRs can also help you test hypotheses and gather vital customer intelligence that even marketing and research may not surface.HIGHLIGHTS:AJ: UNDERSTAND WHY YOU'RE REACHING OUT“You have to understand why you're reaching out to somebody. There's an inherent eyeball test that you can do when you look at someone's title, the company that they work at, some basic information about that organization to really understand and piece together why would this person want to talk to me, what value can I bring them.”AJ: EXPECTATION VS. REALITY“You expect someone, the most junior, inexperienced individual at your company to just take a hundred percent of the subject-matter expertise and customer stories and SDR story one-on-one stuff and in a week just go and hit the phones and be successful. I think it's just unrealistic to expect that at this point.”Learn more about AJ and his work in the links below:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ajalonzo/Website (demandDrive) - https://www.demanddrive.com/Podcast - https://www.demanddrive.com/podcastAbout Josh Wagner: Josh is a growth advisor and the host of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast.

TAKE THE WHEEL, SHIFT THE GEARS, AND HIT THE THROTTLEA Career Sales Pro, Sales Tech Co-Founder, and Sales Podcast Host, Mike O'Kelly joins Josh in the pod today. Salespeople are facing the problem of getting less and less training than ever before while having to deal with the demanding quotas that they have to hit. Mike talks about taking control of your career by seeking out mentorship and training outside of your organization. If you can't get the training from work, get one on your own. Sales is about domination, make sure you're the one who dominates. Tune in and learn more in this latest episode of Love Selling Hate Sales.HIGHLIGHTS:MIKE: LOOK FOR GREAT TRAINING YOU DESERVE“If anybody's listening right now, and if you're in sales, go to a company that has great training. Go to the copier sales, the payroll sales, the enterprises of the world because they will set you up for life.”MIKE: THE SALES ADVOCACY METHOD“You have to dominate in sales or you're gonna get left behind, and that really is the sales advocacy method. The sales advocacy method is taking people and building them into advocates as quickly as possible. The only way to do that in sales and the only way to dominate is to have at least one of two things - that is total belief in the product or service, and total belief in you, the salesperson.”MIKE: TAKE CONTROL, TAKE IT ALL“Take control of your sales career. I didn't in my early career, I was very passive. I thought that the companies were gonna provide everything that was gonna be needed, and that's not the case. Reach out for training, for mentorship. Try to learn outside information with reckless abandon.” Learn more about Mike and his work in the links below:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mike-o-kelly-44ba352b/Surviving Outside Sales Podcast - https://www.audible.com/pd/Podcast/B08JJPGDQLEmail - mike@survivingoutsidesales.com”About Josh Wagner: Josh is a growth advisor and the host of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast.

BUCKLE UP, IT'S A BUMPY RIDEBuilding out an enterprise sales organization is a rocky road, and there's no better person to talk about it than Amanda Georgoff, Area Vice President for Enterprise Sales for Salesloft. Between creating new processes, determining what kind of sellers to hire, and creating a partner ecosystem, enterprise sales is not a walk in the park at all. However, the crucial thing to remember is that building an enterprise sales organization from scratch is a marathon, not a sprint. It's not supposed to be quick or easy. Learn more about Amanda and her work in this latest episode of Love Selling Hate Sales.HIGHLIGHTS:AMANDA: INTERNAL STRENGTH OF AN ENTERPRISE SALES ORGANIZATION"The strongest enterprise sales organization is one that is surrounded by an internal group of resources, the best post-sales support." AMANDA: DOERS ARE A MUST-HAVE, NOT OVERTHINKERS"The people who've been really successful here are ones who've been able to come in and build alongside us and be flexible, willing to roll up their sleeves, doers. I don't want someone who's gonna come into our organization and just thinks about a problem."About Josh Wagner: Josh is a growth advisor and the host of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast.

THERE'S NOTHING MORE EXCITING THAN A NEW BEGINNINGOur very own Josh Wagner is back with fresh new content and in this episode, he discusses his transition to 2 new roles. First, as a first-time CRO, and second, being a partner in a VC firm. This brings us to his main topic for today, which is how he spent his first 30 days as a start-up CRO. Josh breaks down the first 3 things he did as a new CRO which heavily involves learning new things. Find out more in this latest episode of Love Selling Hate Sales. HIGHLIGHTS:JOSH: THE FIRST 3 THINGS I DID AS A CRO“The first thing I did as I came in was I just took a step back and listened. The second thing is I had to do a deep dive on the product, and the third is how am I going to sell this thing.”JOSH: THE BEST SOURCE OF FEEDBACK“The best feedback I got was picking up the phone and talking to people. It was amazing the things that I learned about what resonated with them when they did a demo. If they were confused about something, why was that? What was part of the process where things slowed down or stopped, it really started to give me a framework for how I'm going to redesign the sales process and think about it.”JOSH: LEARN THE PRODUCT“Learn the product inside it out. Learn it from your product, people learn it from developers unit from users really understand the ins and outs of the products and how it resonates to your different buyer types.” About Josh Wagner: Josh is a growth advisor and the host of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast.

In this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast, Joshua is joined by Esben Friis-Jensen, Co-Founder and Chief Growth Officer at Userflow. He shares his insights on product-led growth slowly becoming a staple in the Software as a Service (SaaS) space.While there is still much to improve on in the use of data for sales improvement product-wise, Esben considers product-led growth as a catalyst for B2B SaaS. The thing is, we're already seeing these changes today, but we also need to know where to look. HIGHLIGHTSESBEN: THE CURRENT GAP IN SALES AND PRODUCT ANALYTICS"Data has always been there for product people. But even for them, often it's not very well done. But sales and marketing are data-driven in the sense of classic sales and marketing metrics but they're not data-driven when it comes to how customers are using the product or what is it they do inside the product and adjust accordingly."ESBEN: THE NEED FOR A B2B CRM FOR SAAS"Today, with Salesforce and Hubspot, they're like legacy solutions. They were built for another era, they were not built for Software as a Service. They don't do very well with handling product data. They don't do very well handling subscription-based models and usage-based models which are like the most popular pricing models in SaaS." ESBEN: A MINDSET TO ADAPT WHEN NEGOTIATING"Procurement is not the one making the decision. The end-users, if they already make the decision, procurement is just there to try to get a better price. They already made the decision so its' not going to go away because you challenged them a bit on the pricing."

We all know that acquiring a new client is several times more expensive and time-consuming than simply retaining an old one. But with so many accounts to manage, how do you ensure that everyone remains engaged and accounted for? In this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast, your host Josh Wagner talks to Shift Paradigm's Managing Director Jamie Kirmess about managing a book of business, retaining old clients even after kickoff, and how to make your Quarterly Business Review more engaging and useful to clients. HIGHLIGHTSAlways create value for your client firstHow to probe for the kind of value that your clients need Earn your client's trust by acting as their consultantEffective consulting takes experience, practice, and learning Anecdotal information can be very powerful Portfolio management is all about scaling you How to retain your executive sponsor after kicking off The tools that help keep Jamie's life in order Why you need to do Quarterly Business ReviewHow Jamie gathers information on market trends, insights, etc. QUOTESJamie on providing value to customers: "Customers can pick up on when you're being disingenuous or when you have an ulterior motive. And so the first thing that I always say is figure out what value means to the customer. What do they care about? What are they being measured against? What are some of their fears?"Jamie's overview on portfolio management: "Portfolio management is conceptually the combination of all the different strategies and tactics that you can use to really get the most value out of your portfolio. This is where you have to be a bit self-serving. Put the needs of your customer first, and realize that you are only one person." Jamie's opinion on QBRs and their importance in customer success: "QBRs to me, become less a report card on what we did and become more of an opportunity to reflect on that, celebrate wins, and also think about what's next. That doesn't mean asking the customer to present a roadmap to you. That means preparing for that QBR to understand the roadmap and to infuse insights or market trends so that the session becomes really valuable to your customer."

Negotiating a deal is arguably the most important part of creating a deal because it determines whether the deal makes sense for you in the first place. Unfortunately, this is also the part where a lot of sellers screw up because of lack of know-how, training, or both. In this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sakes, our host Josh Wagner talks to Negotiation Ninja's Head of Sales and Training, Mark Raffan. Mark gives advice on understanding the difference of negotiation strategy from tactics, knowing what makes a good deal, and how to negotiate your way into getting one. HIGHLIGHTSNegotiation strategy is NOT tactics Deals are not created out of thin air Know what YOU want to get out of a negotiation firstSellers are people-pleasers to a fault Don't talk yourself into a discount Sellers need to be invested with their contracts too A deal is only great if you got more than you needed Don't sacrifice the strategy for tacticsDon't just follow one book: read as much as you can QUOTESThe importance of having a sound negotiation strategy, says Mark: "You cannot have a good negotiation without good strategy. I think the media has done us a disservice. Movies like Wolf of Wall Street or Boiler Room, those kinds of movies where you see these slick talkin' sales dudes on the phone and all of a sudden, they're able to magically create a deal out of thin air. The reality is that's just not reality."Where a lot of salespeople fail while trying to create a deal, says Mark: "A lot of people go into negotiations without having any idea of what they're trying to achieve. And then they come out with a deal and they're like, 'Hey I got a great deal.' And you're like, 'Woah, don't qualify it with great.' How do you know it's great? You got a deal. We have no idea whether it's great because you didn't know what you wanted to achieve in the first place." Why you need to have a good strategy before using tactics over it, says Mark: "There's a lot of negotiation strategy out there that will teach you to 'Say these three things and you'll get better results.' It sounds really really good, and you will sound phenomenal. But if the three things that you're saying don't align with the strategy that you haven't built, you're gonna sound great, but it's not gonna generate results."

Many people out there think that as sellers we must always give way to what customers want. While there's a grain of truth in that statement, we do aim to solve our customers' problems after all — there comes a time when we need to stick to our process because it ends up being the most beneficial path for both parties. In this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast, our host Josh Wagner talks about the three things that you can do to encourage a prospect to engage with you in the sales process. Most of the time they work, but if they don't, then you probably weren't a good fit for them anyway. HIGHLIGHTSDo an accusations audit What happens next? The polite walk away QUOTESWhen you should consider politely walking away from a prospect, says Josh: "If you run in to a buyer or a prospect who really doesn't want to engage with you, they really just want a quote or a proposal or some pricing, if they're not willing to give you the little bit of time that it takes to make a solid recommendation or think through what a good solution might be, or really determine if you're a fit for what it is they're trying to solve for, then you politely walk away."

In this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast, our host Josh Wagner shares his five tips for gaining experience fast, aimed at the relatively new seller who wants to jumpstart their career. Josh's advice is practical, designed to help sellers understand their line of work better in a shorter period of time. HIGHLIGHTSNo other way to gain experience than timeJoin and engage with your community Insist that you have time to talk to customers Use the phone to gather intelligent market researchTry to start any kind of business QUOTESJosh on the importance of having time to learn: "I said experience isn't an age thing. But there is simply no substitute for time. The more time you have, the more experience you can gain."Josh's advice for new sellers to jumpstart their understanding of the job: "[As] part of your onboarding, tell your manager: 'Listen, all the training and enablement is great. But I need time speaking directly with customers.' And your job is not to sell here. Your job is to do some discovery. Learn from them."Josh on why you need to try starting a business: "There are so many things that are generally business related that you can learn starting even the simplest business that translate into your sales career. Because at the end of the day, you want to be talking to executives. You want to be talking to senior-level people. They are thinking about their day to day and how to run the business. If you can speak to them in terms of how you run a business, it's gonna help you connect to them on a better level."

If you can only pick one out of the many sales tools at your disposal, without a doubt you will need a sales list. Without the list, selling would be like finding a needle in a haystack, or trying to fish in a lifeless pond; it just wouldn't be efficient nor repeatable, if at all possible.In this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast, our host Josh Wagner talks to Brandon Bornancin, CEO and Founder of Seamless.ai about the importance of having a good sales list that provides not just accurate, but relevant information. Tune in until the end to hear how to get $500 in credits for free, exclusive to the listeners of this podcast. HIGHLIGHTSHow Brandon realized the importance of the sales list Why selling is a lot like fishing How to sort and understand relevant data points The bigger the organization, the more people you need to sell toUtilize all channels to reach out to your prospects Think like a marketer, sell like a marketer The ideal sales tech stack for a B2B seller Maximize your sales list with hyper personalized reach outs Try exceeding your quota by 3 to 5 times QUOTESBrandon on selling to different-sized organizations: "If you're going after SMB, you could easily just go after the decision-makers and shareholders. If you're going after mid-market, I would recommend expanding that seller's circle. When you're going after enterprise, you've got a big grid. Influencers, users, budget holders, decision-makers, approval, legal. You've got a ton of people that you gotta work through."Brandon on sales campaigns: "I believe in getting people in and out of the funnel as quickly as possible. I don't believe in 30-day campaigns, 60-day campaigns, 90-day campaigns. I believe in one to two week campaigns. I'm going to hit you leveraging all the channels, trying to deliver as much value as humanly possible to you to transform your life, take you from where you're at -- your biggest problems, challenges, pains, struggles, to where you want to go." Why Brandon uses every platform available to reach prospects: "The top brands that you know in the world: Apple, Coca-Cola, Microsoft, Walmart, Target -- they've got a million ads across a million channels. if people don't know you, they can't buy from you. So you gotta leverage all of these multi-channel campaigns in sales."

Cold-calling, particularly opening a conversation with a stranger on the phone is one of the difficult and yet important skills to master as a salesperson. For new sellers, it can be a very intimidating task in the absence of any good mentor providing guidance and emotional support. In this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast, our host Josh Wagner talks to Sam Absalom, a Sales Associate with CRE One Source about the key lessons he has learned on the job so far, as well as a few actionable tips that sellers can apply today to improve their cold-calling game. HIGHLIGHTSYour first cold calls are going to suckTry not to take rejection personally Don't give up so easily, you have nothing to lose Your tone makes a world of a difference Focus on getting people to ask about what you doStop doing things that don't work Don't be afraid to experiment with your approachAdvice for people looking to work in a startup environment QUOTESSam's advice for first-time cold callers: "Your natural instinct, immediately when you get someone on the phone and as soon as they sound bothered or uninterested, you want to hang up because you feel like you're being a nuisance. I discovered that at this point, I'm only on the phone, I've got nothing to lose. If they're not interested, try to ask those provoking questions that just keeps them on the line."Sam's tips for keeping people on the line: "The biggest thing that I found is I got them hooked as soon as they ask me what we do. My only goal in the first 23 seconds is have them ask me, 'well what is it that you do.' Because as soon as they've asked that question I've got them hooked. And at least, if nothing else, I'm going to get an email out of this phone call."

You've heard it here before but it bears repeating: nobody went to school for sales and even less people went to school for sales leadership. We invest a great deal in terms of training for sellers, so why are we not doing the same for our frontline managers? In this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast, our host Josh Wagner talks to sales management and leadership coach Shawn Buxton about the most pressing issues that sales leaders face, and introduces his framework for addressing the gaping hole that is the absence of training and support for sales leaders. HIGHLIGHTSSales leadership vs sales management: what's the difference?The best sellers don't necessarily make good managersSales leaders should be intentional in creating their own culturesA clearly defined culture helps you coach more specificallyUse your one-on-one time to deliver customized coachingThe 3 Levels of Communication: Contact, Conversation, and ConnectionGood communication goes beyond simple Slack messagesIt's crucial to get mentorship from the outsideThe benefits of having an intentional leader QUOTESShawn on the difference between sales management and sales leadership: "I would say almost anybody can be a good sales manager if you're just looking at the management duties. But very few people are good at sales leadership because there's so much nuance to the roles and responsibilities of a sales leader versus just a sales manager."Shawn on the absence of intentionality in creating company cultures: "The mistake that most leaders make, even at the most senior level is that they're building accidental cultures instead of intentional cultures. Meaning, they're just hiring cool people, people that maybe have great skills or they're cool or nice. They're good to people and they're just kind of crossing their fingers and hoping that something good comes out of it."What most sales leaders get wrong about communication, according to Shawn: "The biggest mistake that sales leaders make in regards to communication is they have too high of expectations for the level of communication that they're constantly executing. They're just making contact but they're expecting connection-level performance, connection-level results."

If you just treat people the right way, no matter if they're a fit for you or not. How often those people come around, and you'll see deals five years later that you completely forgot about just coming out of nowhere.”Josh: “Nobody really gives a shit about what you sell. Like, focus on them, focus on their business, how they make money, and then figure out if what you sell is the right fit. And be honest about it.”Josh: “Executives are looking for a perspective. So if you take the time to go experience it yourself, experience their product and bring them back your findings and your learnings and a solution, dude, anyone would get excited about that.”Josh: “As a seller, I evolved, like I went from volume and velocity like product based services. Now it's more of a consultative sale. There's more services we can wrap around this, how do we expand and then all of a sudden, we're playing with bigger companies.”Collin: “It takes a lot of discipline to know, and not just take that path, because I think sellers think you gotta know when you're ready, and you gotta know like if you're built for it? Like not everybody wants that? For sure. And top performing, high performing reps don't make great sales leaders.”Collin: “The problem with a lot of top performers is they think everybody should sound like them.
