Send us a textIn this episode, I riff off Catherine Brown's book How Good Humans Sell and connect it to a powerful point from Mike Weinberg's conversation with Ahsan Wardak: most salespeople aren't actually selling—they're presenting.What separates the pros from the pack? The pause.Pauses aren't awkward—they're powerful. However, too many salespeople fill the silence, killing the moment when the customer is thinking, trusting, and preparing to reveal what really matters. I break down why learning to hold the pause is one of the most underrated and transformational sales skills—and how to put it into practice starting today.If you want to be the kind of salesperson who guides rather than pitches, and builds trust rather than transfers information—this one's for you.Because sometimes, the most amazing things happen when you wait for them.Grab a copy of Catherine Brown's book, How Good Humans Sell Connect to Catherine Brown on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/catherineleebrown/Support the show

Are you approaching your leads with a defeatist attitude?Are you approaching your leads with a defeatist attitude? What assumptions are you making about potential clients before the conversation even begins? In this episode, I discuss how your mindset can impact sales success and share strategies to stop expecting the worst, turning each lead into an opportunity until proven otherwise.Listen to this new 7-minute episode for insights on transforming your approach to leads, improving your sales conversions, and ensuring every inquiry is treated as a valuable opportunity.Episode Summary: In this episode of the Wedding Business Solutions podcast, I explore how approaching leads with a defeatist attitude can impact our sales success. Drawing inspiration from Mike Weinberg's "New Sales Simplified," I discuss the detrimental effect of assuming negative outcomes with potential clients, like expecting ghosting or price shopping.

By reducing customer friction, such as ensuring easy contact methods and adapting to generational changes, we can enhance engagement. I urge fellow wedding business professionals to shift their mindset, valuing and converting the leads we already have, rather than just seeking more, ultimately improving our sales outcomes.If you have any questions about anything in this, or any of my podcasts, or have a suggestion for a topic or guest, please reach out directly to me at Alan@WeddingBusinessSolutions.com or visit my website Podcast.AlanBerg.com Please be sure to subscribe to this podcast and leave a review (thanks, it really does make a difference).

You'll discover why all sales leaders must become better coaches and learn practical ways to make this happen – so you can get the best from your most important strategic asset – your people. Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Mark.In this episode, Nancy and Mark discuss the following:The importance of coaching in the modern world.The difference between coaching and bossing people around.Why trust is the fundamental skill required to coach people. Mark's story of transition from business development representative to a coach.How long does it take a person to make that transition?Different coaching styles.How often should people get coached?Proactive and reactive coaching.Key Takeaways:  Coaching will help you think more about how to involve your team in thinking for themselves and coming up with solutions.Coaching is like connecting with someone's operating system.We look at coaching through the prism of the kinds of meetings or reviews that sales leaders would run.Also, we apply coaching as a style in how you recruit, identify, recruit on board, and keep great salespeople.If you are running a business, you must ask yourself, where will something like coaching pay dividends?"Well, my area is sales coaching, but coaching is a universal skill because it leverages people's innate abilities. When we direct people, we boss people, we over-manage people, and we tend to impose our solutions upon them. In doing so, we overlook their contribution, responsibility, and accountability and shortcut their creativity. So, when I'm directing, bossing, and telling people what to do, I'm not involving them. Secondly, I'm creating huge amounts of work for myself. So, if I coach people, I get to enlist them and get them to co-create solutions, which often they will understand better than I will because they're the ones experiencing them through their eyes." – MARK."So, coaching also involves curiosity. To coach people, you must be curious about what they think and are experiencing, so you have to ask questions. And in doing so, that curiosity is helping people to create perhaps an understanding of something they didn't see before that. When you think of the great, I think the great movie parents, if you will, they're less autocratic and more democratic, which is not to say that we just throw all the strictures out the window and say, yeah, let's go crazy here and have no form of leadership, but rather it's a way to give people a feeling that, okay, you're my leader, but you trust me to think. And as a child, what is it like to be given that feeling that my parents trust me? Okay, they say, this is how we'd like you to behave. We don't want you to do these things, but we trust you to think, and we will involve you in decision-making what you think your boundaries are. And that's a whole different conversation." – MARK."I've coached in different parts of the world, understanding what coaching is and how coaching fits into sales leadership. The challenges that people face when using coaching styles and what that is. We used elements of psychology to understand what coaching means in terms of how you change gears in your mind and various psychology models, not too much psychology, but enough to be useful. And to help people tactfully and tactically apply coaching in everyday sales leadership positions. And what people said to me afterward was, this is practical. And I said that's the nicest thing you can say because I don't want people to say, oh, we love the handouts. Oh, we love the PowerPoint presentations. But people felt this connected with me. And I can now turn conversations and relationships with my salespeople around. I'm a better leader, and they're being led better." – MARK. Connect with Mark Garrett Hayes:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/markgarretthayes/SalesCoachr:https://www.salescoachr.com/Try Our Proven, 3-Step System, Guaranteeing Accountability and Transparency that Drives RESULTS by clicking on this link: https://oneofakindsales.com/call-center-in-a-box/  Connect with Nancy Calabrese: Twitter: https://twitter.com/oneofakindsalesFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/One-Of-A-Kind-Sales-304978633264832/Website: https://oneofakindsales.comPhone: 908-879-2911 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ncalabrese/Email: leads@oneofakindsales.com 

On this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, I dive into part two of my conversation with sales leadership expert Mike Weinberg on what new sales managers need to do to get off to a successful start. The information in this episode is so good that you'll want to listen twice and take good notes. Navigating the Challenges of Being a New Sales Manager The episode kicks off with an engaging story from Jeb Blount about his early days in sales leadership. Thrust into a managerial role at just 23 years old due to an unexpected incident, Jeb shares rapid rise to responsibility highlights the often-unpredictable path to sales leadership and the importance of adaptability and quick learning in such roles. A key highlight of Jeb's story is the impact of mentorship on his career. He credits Mary Gardner, the Area Vice President of his group, for fundamentally shaping his approach to sales leadership. Mary's emphasis on coaching and her advice on being observant and patient offers timeless wisdom for new sales managers. Core Principles for New Sales Managers Mike Weinberg stresses the importance of 'keeping your mouth shut and your ears open' as a new leader. This approach is not about being passive but rather about being strategically observant, identifying opportunities for improvement, and understanding team dynamics before jumping into action. One of the critical roles of a sales manager is to coach rather than directly involve oneself in every sale. This part of the discussion sheds light on the common mistake new managers make - trying to be the hero in every sales call, which ultimately hampers the development of their team. Mike and Jeb discuss the balance between personal sales contributions and the development of the team. The insight here is clear: sales leadership is less about personal selling skills and more about elevating the capabilities of the team. Challenges in Sales Leadership Many sales leaders are overwhelmed with non-sales-related tasks, preventing them from focusing on key activities like coaching, mentoring, and strategy development. The discussion underscores the need for support from higher management. Often, new sales leaders are not given clear priorities, leading to misaligned efforts and burnout. It is crucial for executives to understand and support the primary role of sales managers - revenue generation. Key Takeaways for New Sales Managers New sales leaders must prioritize coaching, adaptability, and team development over individual sales achievements. The journey of a sales leader is unique and challenging, but with the right approach and support, it can be incredibly rewarding. Remember, as a new sales manager, your success lies in how well you can elevate your team, not just your personal sales achievements. So listen, observe, coach, and lead your team to new heights. Getting off to a good start in your first 90 days as a new sales manager is crucial. The key to success is knowing where to start, where to focus, and what to avoid.

On this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, I sit down with Mike Weinberg for Part One of our conversation on the state of the Sales Profession, sales leadership, and getting started as a new sales manager. This conversation was a special treat because Mike is such an important and trusted voice within the sales profession and it is rare that Mike and I can find the time to get together. Embracing the Fundamentals: Getting Started as a New Sales Manager in a Rapidly Changing World As we work to sell more in the face of constant change, the wisdom of industry veterans like Mike Weinberg stands out as a beacon, guiding us through the evolving landscape of customer relationships, technology, sales strategies, and sales leadership. His insights, derived from decades of experience, provide a roadmap for both aspiring and seasoned sales manager in navigating the complex and often misunderstood profession of sales. Understanding the Core of Sales The art of selling, despite technological advancements and evolving methodologies, remains fundamentally anchored in human interaction and relationships. Weinberg underscores that the crux of effective selling lies in understanding and addressing customer needs, clear communication, and building trust. These timeless principles are the bedrock upon which successful sales strategies are built, regardless of the industry or market dynamics. The Evolution of Sales Training and Leadership Sales training and leadership have undergone significant transformation over the years. Weinberg points out a critical gap in many organizations - the transition from being a top-performing salesperson to an effective sales manager. This shift requires not only a change in skills but also a fundamental shift in mindset. Sales Management is about nurturing and developing talent, fostering a culture of accountability, and leading by example. It's about guiding teams through challenges and inspiring them to achieve collective success. Technology: A Tool, Not a Replacement In our tech-driven age, there's a growing tendency to rely heavily on technology for sales processes. While technology undoubtedly offers efficiency and data-driven insights, Weinberg cautions against allowing it to overshadow the human element. Automation and AI are tools to enhance, not replace, the personal touch that is central to building and maintaining customer relationships. The challenge for modern sales professionals is to integrate technology into their strategies without losing the essence of personal connection. Debunking the Myths of Social Selling Social selling has been touted as a revolutionary approach in the digital era. However, Weinberg challenges this notion, arguing that while it is a valuable component of a broader strategy, it is not a standalone solution. The effectiveness of traditional methods like phone calls and face-to-face meetings remains significant. Social selling should complement, not replace, these time-tested techniques. Navigating Crises in Sales Management Leading a sales team through periods of crisis requires more than just strategic acumen. It demands adaptability, empathy, and clear communication. Weinberg emphasizes the importance of maintaining team morale and productivity during such times. Sales leaders must be beacons of stability and clarity, guiding their teams through uncertainty with a steady hand and an empathetic approach. Personal Growth and Future Trends Weinberg's journey also highlights the importance of personal growth and adaptation in a rapidly changing industry. The future of sales lies in balancing technological advancements with the irreplaceable human elements. As AI and machine learning continue to shape the landscape, sales professionals and leaders must remain agile, constantly learning and evolving to integrate new tools and techniques without losing sight of the fundamental human connections that drive sales.

First things first, these are the table stakes for professional prospecting. They often get taken for granted, but I've been doing this long enough to know that you need to be reminded of them. You can't afford to miss any of these if you expect your best results.  Define (and limit) your target list There are only so many prospects that you can reasonably approach and follow through with. You may have a target list of 1000, but don't just start at the top and work your way through the bottom before making a second pass. Segment your list into reasonable batches so that you can reach out to everybody more than once a week. You need to cast a wide net while still being able to create some momentum and build familiarity. Know your decision makers Before you reach out into any potential account, you need to know who you should be talking to. This seems like an easy one, but I see mistakes being made constantly. I won't belabor this point, but suffice it to say it's important that you don't make assumptions. Questions about who will be involved in the decision process are easily asked (and usually answered) early in the sales process. Set goals This one's as simple as it sounds. Give yourself targets to hit, and push yourself to get there.  Block time If something is important enough to do, it's worth creating space on your calendar for it. What isn't planned for usually isn't consistently done, and as my friend Mike Weinberg likes to say, “Nobody defaults to prospecting mode.” It doesn't always need to be first thing in the morning, but professional prospectors have time set aside every day of the week to fill their pipeline. Think about what you're trying to accomplish What's the end goal? What are you ultimately trying to achieve? What is your why?  Keeping the big picture in mind will help you with perspective when the going gets tough (and from time to time, it will). Remember the results your solution creates. Remember the people you're working to help. Remember the personal goals and responsibilities you have.  Measure what matters I don't care how many calls a day you make or emails you send. None of that matters unless you can book sales meetings. Quite frankly, even the number of meetings you book is irrelevant if they're not qualified and don't lead to deals.  Selling cannot be simply reduced to a numbers game. There's more to it than that, and I can't give. You some rule of thumb that will tell you if you're doing a good job or not. You need to understand your own sales process, identify the levers and the triggers in it that will predictably lead to revenue, and count whatever those activities are. For me, it's new introductions, scheduled time on their calendar, and a meaningful conversation with them about how I might be able to help. With enough of those activities, revenue always follows, even if I can't forecast the exact number right away.  Keep your swagger I mentioned above that the going will get rough from time to time. It happens to all of us. This is where that perspective comes in. You need to be willing to lean into adversity, and identify the opportunity in every obstacle. When something doesn't go your way, or doesn't go the way you expected it to, it's almost always because there's a lesson you need to learn. Find what that is and learn it. Then tap back into your inner rock star and do the great work that only you are able to do.

He focuses on the delicate symphony of people, processes, and technology to drive exceptional results.  In today's episode, we discuss the benefits of building a sales process based on proactive sales activities, and how focusing on quality over quantity results in consistently, reliably full funnels. What You'll Learn: - The value of quality over quantity in sales - The Measurement-Inspection-Accountability sales strategy - How to keep your team accountable without micromanagement - The importance of implementing performance improvement plans  - Proactive actions that create full funnel freedom  - Why are most salespeople afraid to ask for help? - The curse of knowledge in sales - Chris' advice to his younger self on how to become better at sales - The most effective sales discovery process If you've been in sales for a while, you'll have noticed that meaningful engagements with prospects are far more influential than cold call volume. While it's tempting to assume more prospects, leads, and cold calls are the keys to success in sales, the quality of your funnel is even more important. The effort you put into building a high-quality funnel will be far more useful in the long run than filling the pipeline with unqualified leads.
