Customer Centric Selling Podcast with Frank Visgatis & Tim Young
Welcome to the CustomerCentric Selling podcast. In previous episodes, Tim and Frank talk about the sales process and methodology, the difference between the two, why sales processes often fail, and what you should be looking for in an effective sales process. This episode will discuss what you should look for in a successful sales process and methodology. What are all of the things that you need to perform, according to the sequence of events? And what exactly are we supposed to do? If you do everything you're supposed to do and we do everything we're meant to do, our businesses will eventually continue to do business together. It is at this point in the process that a mutually agreed-upon sequence of events is established. That is when the customer's purchasing process intersects with our sales process. When most people listen to this podcast, many of them have not yet been born. Frank began his career in the technology sales industry in the mid-1980s. When he first started working as an application engineer at Copier Graphic, they supplied production automation solutions to newspapers. Frank began selling and giving solution training of sale in 1993, which was the process and approach that helped him determine what always made him successful. What to Listen For: What should you look for in a successful sales process and methodology? [02:27] What led Frank to build customer-centric selling? [03:09] Is CCS a process or a CCS methodology? [11:29] How does Frank manage for the concept that each customer's purchasing procedure is unique? [12:40] Teaching salespeople [15:43] What are the other parts that make CCS special? [17:57] Incorporating milestones into methodology and process. [19:24] What makes CCS an effective sales process and methodology.

Quotes: "We remember how much things changed from a technology standpoint, from the early 90s to the early 2000s. And the whole dynamic of the impact that had on the buyer-seller relationship with the incredible amount of information that was all of a sudden available at everyone's fingertips just changed the way that people were buying. And the problem that we saw was our methodology wasn't changing to deal with those changes in the marketplace." - Frank [09:17] "We positioned customer-centric selling as being philosophically in alignment with solution selling from the standpoint of don't lead with product, focus on your buyer's needs." - Frank [10:02] "Good salespeople are always looking up to what's going to give them the edge." - Frank [17:25] RESOURCES MENTIONED: Free Trial of our CustomerCentric Online Course CHECK OUT THE CCS ONLINE COURSE
In today's episode, we cover the idea of mental mess with Dr. Caroline Leaf. Caroline has spent the last 30 years researching the nature of mental health and has helped hundreds of thousands of people learn how to use their mind to detox and grow their brain to succeed in every area of their lives including school, university, and the workplace. We are all dealing with mental messes in varying degrees, but what is a mental mess, how does your mental mess impact your ability to find happiness and success, and what process can you start using today to clean up your mental mess? What to Listen For What is a mental mess and why is it important to manage? - 0:00 What is neuroplasticity and how can you take advantage of it on a daily basis to improve the quality of your life?

What's wrong with the way we treat mental health? - 16:27 How is our current perception of mental health treatment preventing us from making significant progress in our overall mental health and happiness?

In the same way we should take regular steps to maintain and improve our physical health, we must do the same for our mental health. If we don't, then a mental mess builds up over time. This mental mess clouds our thinking, influences our beliefs in a negative manner, and slowly eats away at relationships.

In today's episode, we cover self-awareness with Dr. Tasha Eurich. Tasha is an organizational psychologist, executive coach, researcher, and New York Times best-selling author of Insight and Bankable Leadership. Self-awareness is crucial when it comes to understanding ourselves and the people around us, but how do you go about developing it, what are the biggest misconceptions about it, and what can you do to overcome the blind spots in your self-awareness? What to Listen For What is self-awareness? - 2:50 What are the different types of self-knowledge that make up self-awareness? What is the difference between internal and external self-knowledge and why do you need both? How does the prevalence of smartphones negatively affect our ability to develop our self-awareness?

Popular Misconceptions Around Self-awareness - 19:55 What is the biggest myth surrounding introspection and self-awareness? What is the most dangerous question we can ask ourselves when trying to develop self-awareness and what question should we ask ourselves instead? What kind of journaling should you avoid if you are developing your self-awareness? How do you journal in a way that is conducive to self-awareness? The 3 Different Types of Blind Spots in Self-awareness - 37:50 What are the 3 different types of blind spots we have and how can we overcome them? Why is it detrimental to your growth if you don't have a solid feedback loop in your life? What strategies can you use with your coworkers, friends, and family to get the feedback you need to grow and succeed? What are the 3 building blocks of a self-aware team and why is one more important than the others? What can you do to better deal with a lack of self-awareness around you? To grow and develop as a person, you must be willing to acknowledge faults and weaknesses in yourself so you can work on improving them, or at least know how to compensate for them. You must be willing to accept that the people you interact with can have legitimate criticisms you can learn from because you can't see your own blindspots until they are pointed out. Developing your self-awareness depends on both because you must not only work to understand yourself but also how your “self” exists in relation to others around you.

Warren Farrell |The Boy Crisis and Dad Deprivation https://youtu.be/UFK_uOsve0g Art of Charm The role of the father in raising children is often downplayed in society, but what do fathers bring to the table that mothers do not, why does the absence of a father have such long-lasting effects, and what steps can we take today to be there for our children? #warrenfarrell #boycriss #artofcharm What to Listen For -What is dad deprivation and what role does it play as a child is growing up? -What is the purpose void and why is it more important now that more children are growing up without a father? -What are the two primary purposes in a man’s life and how has the development of society made it more difficult for men to feel fulfilled in either one? -How does porn become addictive to young men and how does it shift the way men view women, sex, and relationships? -What are the primary differences between mom-style parenting and dad-style parenting? -What is the single biggest predictor of success and how do you teach it to children? -How do you teach postponement of gratification to children and why is it so important to building the life you want? -What is the difference between being aggressive and being assertive? -What can you do to reverse ADHD? -What role do family dinner nights have in a child’s development and what 5 things can you do to make those family dinners constructive rather than destructive? -What steps can we take today to improve as parents? The father in many shows and movies seems to be there just for comic relief by being a hardass or totally incompetent while the mother is portrayed as “the real parent.” But the father’s role in raising kids is significantly more important than we tend to give it credit for. As Warren Farrell stated, “Children who have father involvement are far less likely to be obese, far less likely to have ADHD, far less likely to do worse in every single academic area, and far less likely to be depressed or commit suicide.” And those are just a few of the effects that a good father has on his kids. It’s crucial there be a balance of masculine and feminine influence in a child’s life in order for that child to grow into a well-rounded human being able to handle the ups and downs and twists and turns of life. It is the tension created by the difference between the parents that allows their children to find a happy medium that works for who they are.

In today's episode, I'm talking with Sean Galla, founder and facilitator at MensGroup, an organization born out of a mission to create community and conversation where guys feel comfortable sharing what's really happening in their lives. Over 10 years ago, Sean was living what looked like a dream life from the outside, but in reality, he was facing a number of challenges and some of the lowest lows of his life. It was in this dark night of the soul that he went in search of a men's group. After not finding any that met his needs, he created his own. What to Listen For: What does Sean Galla do? “I run men's groups, for normal guys who just want to have a chat, over at mensgroup.com. I joined a men's group. I found it to be very beneficial to my life. And when I asked my friends why they didn't want to get into it, it's because they thought they were kooky or for losers. I was like, that's weird, it feels like a tool that's for a winner. So I looked around and all these men's groups are online, doing chanting or had adopted first nations names or blowing Sage with our wings and stuff like that. And I was like, that's cool, but I can see why people are put off by this. I can see why men find it intimidating. And there was nobody who was doing an approachable group for guys to just want to talk about their lives, not necessarily do heavy emotional work or cry and sing kumbaya or anything like that, just share what's going on and so that's what we have going on over at mensgroup.com.” What was Sean's like before MensGroup? “I was living in Mexico at the time, I had fallen in love with a woman and we moved down there and what looked like a lovely life on Facebook turned into a challenging time for me, because I felt quite isolated. Even though I had friends down there I could surf with, I felt quite alone and alone with my challenges alone, with my thoughts. And, it was a beautiful time, but I realized I could use some support.” Breaking out of a culture that makes it difficult for men to admit they need help How Sean realized he loved the camaraderie of sharing with other men “I was more of an, A- type kid growing up, a competitive hockey player. And I love that comradery in the dressing room and being able to talk about, stuff after the game. it's like after you'd been to battle with a guy or had shared an experience with a guy, that's when guys would open up a little bit and talk about their relationships or, talk about how to be a better father or whatever it was that they were going through. Then after my hockey career, if you want to call it that, ended, I was out on my own. I realized there was a lack of that. And then it wasn't until I moved down to Mexico and then felt really isolated, that I realized that, wow, I really missed that.” Getting dragged to his first men's group by a friend and not really wanting to go How going to a men's group helped him break through some issues he was having in his own life “I found it so great to just be able to bring those somewhere, that's not my partner or my family work through them and then bring the fruits of that back to my life.” The moment that felt like the lowest low “The lowest low for me was probably getting sick. I just burnt out. I burnt myself out. I wasn't taking care of myself. I was working too hard and trying to deal with the emotions of a breakup by chasing other women and trying to be a high-achieving person and in my career and traveling along and partying and ended up, coming down with a chronic illness. I spent a couple of years in bed basically, and that was the lowest of low. That was the darkest of the dark. And, yeah, I reached for any tool I could to get support during that time.” Sean gets honest about his motivations to be constantly improving “Honestly, I'm not even sure that it comes from a good place. It could come from a place of trying to fill a void,
Are you ready to uncover the purpose of your path? In today's episode, we're talking about my powerful five-phase Journey Mapping™ process, which I developed over the years to help others on their path towards overcoming their pasts and finding their purpose. I'll also be opening up on my own experience with trauma - how it cracked me so far open that pieces of me went missing, and how I rose up and came back. What to Listen For: What to expect from this podcast What is Journey Mapping™? What can Journey Mapping™ do for you? “Understanding this powerful process is going to allow you to have a clear understanding of the journey that you are currently walking and where you are inside of it, as well as what you need to develop to move through each stage. It's what will allow you to rise up and come back in the aftermath of your own challenging chapters and big life transitions, uncovering the purpose of your path and making the impossible happen for yourself. This process really allows you to get clear on what comes next for you, your life, your work, and your relationship, and you'll see it further modeled for you and all of the interviews that we're sharing.” What is The Call of The Void? “It's that common urge arising within perfectly sane and healthy individuals who have no desire to die, to leap off the edge of a cliff. The void is the inner gateway, the initiation, the path into deeper connection, peace, inspiration, love, purpose, intuition, and source, whatever those things mean to us individually.” My first experience with the void The calm of slipping and falling through the void Feeling connected to something greater than myself Repeating this experience over the years and how this allowed me to create tremendous shifts in my business and my life My ex-boyfriend's decision to take his own life and how the trauma of this event cracked me so far open pieces of me went missing - some of them permanently. “The trauma of this loss broke me also, literally over the following months, my brain began deteriorating rapidly to the point that I couldn't put my own life story in order, let alone remember what I did the day before. I would sit in front of my computer and just cry because I couldn't remember half the clients on my list, nor could I remember how to build websites anymore, something I had been doing for years. I would drive in circles around my house because each time it took me to lap the block I would forget that I was going home.” Contacting a friend and mentor for a healing session Getting my brain back and learning more about this type of process work “I learned that this particular type of process work worked with the concept of the void, the idea that all the good stuff we're seeking exists just beyond this pocket of nothingness, that terrifying space of unknown darkness and death we're often too afraid to explore. And we're too afraid because it can feel like we're actually dying. And it's only by moving through this pocket that we can connect with what we're seeking, truth, peace, love, purpose, trust, faith source, and divine wisdom. I became obsessed with this concept of dropping through the void because in my life personally, it's proven to be everything in creating what I desire and healing and finding wholeness and uncovering my purpose and knowing who I am and who I'm becoming. The void is terrifying and magical and the gateway to everything amazing.” Discovering the hero's journey “I was also introduced to the hero's journey while doing research on how to write my memoir Unravel. The hero's journey began to serve as a framework for how to truly rise up and come back from the most awful heartbreaking chapter of my life. It was a missing piece. I needed to finally pull myself out of the grips of grief to do the healing work and to understand the purpose of the path I was walking.” Rising up and coming back
Today's episode is all about the comeback and how to reorient your own life, work, and relationships in the aftermath of challenging chapters and big life transitions. This is the work that comes up in stage four of the Journey Mapping process we discussed in episode one, and I felt it was worth taking a deeper dive into this part of the process as well as sharing what this looked like for me. Spoiler alert - it wasn't all sunshine and rainbows, but there was something pretty magical about coming out the other side. What to Listen For: What we have to face as we make the choice to rise up and come back Beginning to form a new sense of self The three components of this work - Reorienting, Renegotiating, and Releasing “This process can be downright maddening at times, but once you understand which of these approaches to take for each area of your life, you can begin navigating your healing and growth with far more ease. Whatever it is that you're walking through. You're now struggling to relate to all the people and things that used to be foundational pillars for you. Depending on what you've been through, in which stage you're at in the journey mapping process, you may not be a hundred percent ready for this part of the work, and that's okay.” My own personal story of trauma and how it rocked me to my core PTSD so severe that it ate away at my brain leaving me unable to function The failure of my business, the steady and dramatic decline in my income, ending up in a toxic and abusive relationship, and a wide range of health ailments “A lot happened in the aftermath of my loss and it absolutely flattened me. It changed so much about who I was as a person, how I showed up in my work and relationships, and how I engaged with the world around me. Then I started feeling like I was bumping up against walls where there used to be doors.” “I kept trying to be the person I was before loss and trauma stole me from myself, but I couldn't, I wasn't capable of being that person or behaving in those ways anymore.” How I reclaimed what loss and trauma stole from my brain Stretching my capacity Discerning where to dig in and do the work Understanding that it's not about going back but about choosing not to give up “all of this required discernment around when it was time to turn and walk in a new direction to ask for help, learn a new way of being renegotiate or let something go. And this is the challenging work that we do during the return. Now this work becomes a million times easier to navigate when you're clear on what you're returning to, what it is that you want to create and who you're becoming in the aftermath, what comes next for you?” If these processes feel hard or impossible, you might just be lacking clarity - but it will come in its right time Learning a new way of being Tuning in to the most subtle of feelings in your body and trusting them as a starting point “Reorienting, renegotiating, and releasing all require you to tune into your felt senses because you need to tune into your intuition and inner knowing.” Trauma of all kinds can often cause us to dissociate from our bodies Eyes up, eyes open - a mantra that I've learned to repeat in difficult situations Learning to begin reconnecting with your body - and why it's important Reorienting - shifting how we relate to aspects of ourselves, our lives, our work, and our relationships “Reorienting is about finding our bearings and how we relate to the things around us. It starts with noticing where you're bumping up against those walls, where there used to be doors. You might be trying to show up in a long-term relationship based on what you knew your role to be and the way you knew yourself to relate to that particular person before, but now it's uncomfortable and hard. You can't seem to have the same conversations. Everything feels clunky and mistimed.
Do you struggle with executive functioning challenges? Today, we're talking with Seth Perler, an Executive Function, ADHD & 2e Coach in Colorado. Seth will be telling his story about rising up, coming back, and finding his life's purpose. After nearly losing everything, he's dedicated his life to helping complicated, struggling students learn to navigate school and life so they can have a fantastic future full of choices and possibilities, where they can achieve their goals, do what matters to them and have a great quality of life. Executive Function is the key. Listen in to learn more about Seth and his purpose-driven journey. What to Listen For: What does Seth Perler do? “I am what's called an Executive Function Coach, and I'm an ADHD Coach and a 2e Coach. But what that really means is that I am passionate about education and I am angry and frustrated that students who don't fit in the box, - these outside-of-the-box thinkers and feelers and doers and talkers - these kids that do not fit in boxes. Well, they cannot fit in the school box, and they end up quote, ‘failing.' So, that pisses me off. We have a system that has, as one of its metrics, you have A,B,C,D,F and F is called fail. And that drives me nuts. And I was a teacher for 12 years. I have a master's in gifted and talented education. I struggled mightily as a kid and a teenager, like you wouldn't believe.” Why did he feel called to this work? “I am an ADD personality. I do not fit in the box myself as an adult. I didn't as a teacher, I didn't as a kid but I am not in the hopeless place that I was when I was a young person. I have a fantastic life today that I do love, and I hope I live a very long life and, uh, I've gotten to do really neat, interesting things and live the way that I want to live. It's not perfect, but I have made choices that have enabled me to choose my lifestyle. I feel like I have a fulfilling purpose. I have fulfilling work and all, all this to say that I was someone who was very hopeless and didn't think I could do anything like this. And I do have a fantastic life today. So anyhow, my life is dedicated to that.” Who was Seth Perler before he did this work? Being adopted as a baby and what his family life was like growing up Begin free-spirited and curious and not fitting into the traditional box of school A deep feeler since childhood “Once I became 11, 12, 13 I think it became more apparent that I wasn't conforming the way I was supposed to. I really started to internalize messages. Now my external messages, meaning I could communicate them to you, were: I'm lazy. I'm a failure. I can't do anything right. Why try? When am I ever gonna use this? This is stupid. I hate this. And then as I got more into teenage hood: the world sucks. People suck. The older I get, the more people suck. This is just hopeless. What I internalized, meaning I couldn't articulate was: I'm a piece of shit. I have no value. I'm not enough. I'm not okay. I'm broken. Those sorts of messages were what I internalized again, I didn't have a consciousness around that. I just could not stand to be in my own skin.” Being labeled a daydreamer on a report card - something he now considers a superpower Getting tested for learning disabilities and discovering he's gifted The story about not applying himself, not living up to his potential Feeling like nothing mattered Getting fired from jobs that are difficult to get fired from Diving into any escape to check out from the feelings that he just messed everything up Hating who he was, not believing in himself, not believing he could change Shifting from victim mentality to 100% responsibility Hitting rock bottom in his early 20s “What rock bottom was for me was that I knew that my choices and my behaviors and my actions, could get me killed, could get me hurt, could lose my family. They were done with me by this point. That was actually my bottom,
