Some farmers are shearing back the costs with new sheep breeds. Meant for meat production, ‘Nudies' are a breed of sheep that don't grow wool, allowing farmers to cut costs as there's no need for shearing, dagging, or crutching. Pierre Syben from Wairere Rams in Masterton told Kerre Woodham in his view, the industry will likely split between the people who stick with wool and those who move towards the Nudies. He says that hopefully as more people go into non-sheering sheep, it will lift the price of wool as at the moment, it's a loss-making venture.

Purchase Fred Diamond's best-sellers Love, Hope, Lyme: What Family Members, Partners, and Friends Who Love a Chronic Lyme Survivor Need to Know and Insights for Sales Game Changers now! Today's show featured Holly Rollo, the author of The Power of Surge. We also featured John Shrader, Chief Revenue Officer at construction software company Arcoro. HOLLY'S TIP: “The real thing that's going to differentiate you is a frictionless customer experience. That customer experience can't be managed if it's in bits and pieces all over the place. Then sales, marketing and customer success aren't radically aligned, which is what I'm a big advocate of. Priorities become really, really clear when you figure out where's the friction in that customer experience and how can you properly set goals, which I think would help align CEO expectations, not just on marketing, but on the investments and attention spent across the go-to-market roles that remove that friction and make the experience stronger.” JOHN'S TIP: “What are those things that you're doing on a regular basis that cover three things? You're always prospecting, you're selling, and you're closing. There's different times in your day, your month, your week that the amount of time you spend between those three things shifts. The beginning of a month, you're going to be spending more probably on prospecting. The bottom end of a month you're doing more on closing. But that balance of how you do that in a day matters.”

"That's what a really great sales process can do... It's really about their agency. This is not any sort of trickery convincing them... It's really a meaningful process."In this insightful episode, business strategist Joanna Sapir shares her expertise on creating effective marketing and sales systems for wellness practices. Drawing from her own experience as a former practitioner, Joanna emphasizes the crucial distinction between marketing and sales, helping practitioners overcome their fear of these essential business functions.As Joanna explains, "Marketing is how you are getting in front of people and building relationships, building interest, capturing leads... Sales is actually how you get the client, how you enroll somebody in your services." She introduces the concept of consultative sales, particularly valuable for wellness practitioners working in transformation-focused services.One of the episode's key insights is that effective marketing isn't about pushing services but building relationships: "When we think that our marketing is how we get clients, we put out stuff that's like, 'here, buy my stuff'... But marketing is how you are getting in front of people and building relationships."This episode is essential listening for wellness practitioners looking to develop authentic, effective marketing and sales systems that align with their values while growing their practice sustainably.Get all the links, resources and show notes here: https://wellnesscentercreators.comSponsored by Jane App, Jane offers online booking, charting, scheduling, secure video and invoicing on one secure, beautifully designed system: https://jane.app/ Use code wellness1mo for a one-month grace period on your new Jane account.

In today's fast-paced B2B landscape, marketing and sales can no longer operate in isolation. Both functions have different strengths, but when combined, they create a powerful, customer-centric force that drives results. Marketing builds the brand's story and awareness, while sales directly engages with customers to convert opportunities into revenue. A collaborative relationship between the two functions ensures a seamless customer experience, removes barriers to conversion, and produces a more unified approach to solving customer challenges. The real magic happens when sales and marketing work in sync—sharing insights, addressing objections in unison, and refining product offerings based on real-time feedback from prospects. Christian Klepp, co-founder and director of client engagement at Einblick Consulting, brings over 13 years of experience in B2B branding, marketing, and communications. Having worked with industry giants such as Caterpillar, Henkel, and Logitech, Christian's extensive global experience across Europe, Asia, and North America has helped him master the art of aligning marketing and sales for greater success. His firm helps B2B tech and SaaS companies discover and leverage their unique competitive edge, driving lead generation and revenue growth. What you'll learn: How can marketing and sales teams collaborate to overcome common barriers and improve conversion rates? What are the most effective strategies for aligning marketing and sales in large B2B organizations? How can marketing help sales teams better handle customer objections and close more deals?

The Bacon Podcast with Brian Basilico | CURE Your Sales & Marketing with Ideas That Make It SIZZLE!
I was listening to a podcast interview with comedian Mike Birbiglia. I was not familiar with him, but I found his take on comedy interesting. He believes that comedians have a one-on-one relationship with their audiences. Social media and podcasts can help to create a more intimate relationship with fans. Some influencers lose that connection because they become an outsized version of themselves. They get lost in the audience's abyss and lose the connection with individuals. They become unapproachable. I find the same thing with marketing. We tend to lose sight of that one-on-one relationship and get lost in the abyss of the avatar. A comedian is selling entertainment with jokes. You, on the other hand, are selling profits or solutions through hardware, software, and services. As a sales and marketing organization, you need to craft a story around your products and services that will resonate with individual buyers. Getting potential customers to know, like, and trust you is a journey. Each has a unique place in the Customer Journey.

I think that is one of the biggest areas that you can focus on now. ----- Oh, customer success stories, 100% and I think this is where sometimes we forget. It seems so obvious, right? But when I engage personally, when. I engage with another salesperson, right? Or somebody selling something to me? Yes, you know, I'm interested in what they can do for me, what I'm really interested in what they've done for other people, because that's where it is. Because, let's face it, we all know that anybody who's brought a product or service to market, you always know that customers end up using it in ways that you could never imagine, right? And they do things differently, not how you see and therefore learning about what you have done with other people, that is great information for for somebody, for prospect you're engaging with, and that's what I love. I want to hear the things that they've done with other people, how they helped other companies, how they helped other individuals. And those stories and and we all come from, I mean, culturally, we all kind of come from storytelling traditions, you know, certainly I did, you know, in Ireland, and that's what resonates with people, is stories. And now you take yourself out of the equation a little bit, and you put, you put your customer, and you say, You know what their issue, what their solution? And then, and here's the nice thing, is, like, you should be enthusiastic and say, and then they did this, or they asked us to do this, right? They said, hey, if your product could just do this one other thing, and, you know, something, we went back and we discovered, yeah, that's something that would benefit everybody. And then we immediately, you know, implemented it in a way. So this, there's so much richness in talking about your customer success story. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.
