It's time to take back the word networking so it doesn't freak us out. Connecting with other entrepreneurs should be something you enjoy doing because you care about people -- that is what's at the heart of networking.  Cara Steinmann is the founder of the Ravel Collective. She helps purpose driven women who are service providers build strategic networks that lead to referrals, collaboration, visibility and fun. If you've ever thought, I don't like this part of my life, or I'd like to pivot around this area, and yet you felt guilty about it, this conversation is going to be really helpful for you. It was very honest. It was very gentle. But it was also kind of unusual in its vulnerability. Cara was working in marketing for 15 years, and when Covid hit she realized she hated her business and she was miserable. She was scared because she knew she didn't want to work someone else, but she also couldn't picture what she wanted to do. It was like her imagination went out the window. She acknowledged that feeling miserable in her business was a hard thing to admit to herself. Otherwise, she has a great family and loves her life; she didn't want to seem ungrateful. Cara fired her clients and blew through her savings trying to figure out who she was. She earned a coaching certification, and while it wasn't her next step, Cara says she learned so much about self-limiting beliefs. “It really kind of set me on this path of, ‘well, I must not believe that I can have it all, that I can be happy,'” says Cara. “There's something here that's preventing me from making the changes that I want, or having the kind of happiness that I want. I have to figure out what it is. But we have this idea that we're supposed to just figure out what we're supposed to do.” Cara used personality tests, StrengthsFinder and Kolbe to help her find where she was most consistent. She also figured out her core values, which she found to be most valuable of all including when it came to networking. Money comes into your business through people, so be intentional about who you decide to network with. Cara says you can have friends who are in a position to refer you that might be all you need. It's really easy to find those people if you look at how they act and what they say.  “When you like people, you want them to win and you send them business, and you buy things from them,” says Cara. “It's not that complicated; just work with people you like.” The level of confidence it takes to just put content out there and not be a perfectionist about it is a challenge. There is a big deficit in women especially when it comes to creative confidence. There is an opportunity there to build reciprocity by sending the person a message saying how it resonated with you, or telling them they did a great job. People want to be praised for the content they create. Eventually you might get to a deeper level with someone who is in a position to refer you or help you get visibility.

So many people start these extraordinary, beautiful businesses, and then they're scared to sell. Today we'll go over three quick tips you can use in every sales conversation and two things not to do when you book that sales call.   Jamie Gulino Davis is the creator of StandOut Sales, where she teaches high ticket offer conversations, team development, leadership and relationship building. She's curated sales teams that have converted at 70% plus during her seven figure launches and events, and she also specializes in live events and sales strategy.  Jamie has seen sales done in so many ugly ways and people lacking confidence because of the sales experiences that they've had. It is her goal to show people how they can have gorgeous, conversations and really be an instrumental part of someone else's transformation.   But sales conversations are always happening; many business owners will host webinars, post on socials, send emails, and do speaking engagements. If somebody is at your workshop, if somebody is listening to your podcast, if someone is signing up for a consultation with you or a discovery call, they are looking for the services you are providing.    This shouldn't feel awkward or uncomfortable. This should feel like an amazing opportunity to provide that service and help somebody with whatever that transformation is.   “Sales should feel brilliant,” says Jamie. “It should feel beautiful. It should feel transformative. No matter what you're selling, it really is providing somebody with something that they're really in need of.”   Jamie says no matter how much growth she experiences, she's always going to be vulnerable. She says she is always going to be absolutely honest because she is done seeing the social posts of how fabulous someone's life is. We know what's happening behind the scenes, right? She says it's important to be real and show what it really takes to have a successful business and household.   If you get on calls and they're just not converting, or people aren't buying Jamie has three quick easy tips to try.   1. Build rapport: Whether you're going into a room or going to sales, conversation, workshop, webinar, whatever that is, take 3 to 5 minutes to build rapport. People are longing for connection, but more so than ever, statistically, we're seeing that more touchpoints are needed to convert a sale. People want to have that know, like and trust when it comes to making a purchase.   2. Frame your conversation: This helps anyone that has a hard time showing up as the authority, anyone that has a challenging time talking about the investment of something and anyone that has a challenging time staying on track.    3. Ask the right questions: Give yourself permission to ask the real questions. It will create trust and understanding.    These little tiny tweaks allow yourself to be in the moment during sales conversations and can really increase your confidence.   1. Never laugh or giggle. This tends to happen when people talk about the investment. Practice. It costs $10,000 to work with me. Say it with confidence.    The other place to avoid the laugh or giggle is if someone is sharing something difficult. We often want to cushion discomfort for people. Be thoughtful, take your own breath and just be a beautiful, beautiful listener.   2. Avoid transition words like cool and awesome. If you're on a sales call people might be talking about their pain points and we tend to say “awesome, cool” because you're transitioning to the next question.   Sales conversations aren't only happening when somebody is booking into your calendar. The truth is, it's happening all the time. Let's get to it!   Free Gift: Jamie walks you through a vital piece of her S.A.L.E.S. framework [https://jamiegulinodavis.simplero.com/page/290836], which she's used to train sales teams that have converted at 70%+ during 7-figure launches and events.   Connect with guest Jamie Gulino Davis: https://www.instagram.com/jamiegulinodavis/  LinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/in/jamiegulinodavis    Other GoG episodes you might want to check out:   How to Write Sales Copy That Sells: https://sarahwalton.com/how-to-write-sales-copy/    Never Ask, “So What Do You Do?” Again: https://sarahwalton.com/colleen/    That Time I Did My Friends' Nails for Prom (Sales Can be Fun!): https://sarahwalton.com/sales-is-fun/    You can check out our podcast interviews on YouTube, too! http://bit.ly/YouTubeSWalton    Thank you so much for listening.

When asking the perfect question, it is crucial to be sincere. Here are some steps:Understand Your End Result - There are two pain points that are likely to discover. 1) What is the buyer getting that they don't want? or 2) What are they getting that they don't want?Don't Interrogate - Unfortunately, there is where the "art of sales" comes into play. The is likely something that can't be taught but it can be learned. This will likely come with several steps that create misses and you have to learn from the misses or mistakes.Don't Make People Feel Bad - When you ask people a question, ensure that you don't put them in the defensive position. Instead, try: "what were you using before trying 'x' product?"Write Down Question in Advance - Don't be lazy with the questions that you are asking. Ensure that the question pushes you quickly to your end result.Never Ask a Question Beyond Their Expertise - This will ensure you are being respectful to the person asking. We don't want someone to feel that we are trying to get past them.What are we missing on this list? Reach out to us and let us know.Scott SchlofmanMike Williams

CONQUER SHYNESS

NEVER ASK ALLAH FOR THIS IN YOUR DUA

Sunday's game against the Giants might be one of the worst wins in New York Jets history. It was an ugly, sloppy mess we'd all like to forget. Jesse and Conor break down the game, Conor talks about what it was like to be there, and they look ahead to the Monday Night Football matchup against the Chargers.

There is a question that many Christian parents never ask God. Catherine and her husband didn't ask God this question for the first two decades of their marriage, despite attending church weekly, tithing, going so small groups, and having daily devotionals. That question is:   WHAT DOES GOD WANT MY FAMILY TO LOOK LIKE?   We often seek God about where we should work, live, and go to church, what school our kids should attend, and how to raise our children—but many parents never ask God how many kids they should have, adopt, or foster.   Why is that?   In this episode, Catherine explores this topic and then allows listeners to be a fly on the wall of her post-interview conversation with Kirsten Vossler, a mother of nine (soon to be ten). They discuss how the church has been subtly influenced by the world's perspective on parenting and children.   If Jesus is to truly be Lord of our lives, that means He must be Lord of our families. That doesn't mean we have to crank out as many babies as possible in our child-bearing years, but it does mean we should seek God's plan over our personal preference.   Kirsten Vossler's Bio: Kirsten is a mother of 9, yes you heard that right—9 kiddos. She has been a Children's pastor, a worship leader, a writer, a conference speaker, and now she is host of the Rejoicing in Motherhood Podcast.   Kirsten's Website Kirsten's Podcast: Rejoicing in Motherhood   RESOURCES & PODCASTS REFERENCED:   “Should God Have a Say in the Size of Your Family” by Catherine Segars   EPISODE 70: “When God Doesn't Answer Our Prayers the Way We Hoped He Would” (w/ Andy Howard)   EPISODE 71: “How Does God Bring Beauty Out of the Broken Places in Our Lives?” (w/ Andy Howard)   Rejoicing in Motherhood Podcast EPISODE 120 – Dispelling 5 Cultural Myths about Motherhood (w/ Catherine Segars) Discover more Christian podcasts at lifeaudio.com and inquire about advertising opportunities at lifeaudio.com/contact-us.

Visit http://JohnBlakeAudio.com to Learn How to DOUBLE Your Enquiry-to-Sale Conversion with The Lead Flow You Already Have. Welcome to the Master Dealmaker Secrets podcast. In today's episode, we're diving into some critical insights about sales conversations. Specifically, we'll explore the three worst questions you should never ask during the discovery phase of your sales process.  These questions can be detrimental to your sales success, but don't worry, I'm not just going to give you the questions, I'm also going to give you more appropriate questions that would be a better thing to ask. The first question you should steer clear of is, "What keeps you up at night?" It's an overused and insensitive query that often comes across as clichéd. Instead, a more effective approach is to start the conversation by asking, "What made you decide to get in touch with us?"  This opening question allows the potential client to share what's top of mind for them, whether it's a problem they need to solve or a desire to improve their situation. That's a way better place to start. Because, first of all, there might not be anything that keeps them up at night. They might actually be somebody who doesn't have a problem. They just want to make things better. About 72% of people are coming to you to solve a problem. But there is a relatively high number like about 28 to 30% of people that are simply coming to you because things are going well, but they want to go to the next level. So they are moving toward a better outcome rather than away from something that they're not happy with.  The second question to avoid is, "What are your biggest challenges?" This question can backfire because not everyone sees their issues as challenges.  The third question to skip is, "What would it take to win your business?" This question is outdated and can make the sales process feel adversarial. Instead, focus on building rapport and understanding the prospect's motivations. Avoid using combative language and strive to create a collaborative atmosphere during the conversation. So, what should you ask instead? Listen to this episode to find out! Learn to approach clients in a way that encourages the prospect to discuss their priorities and allows you to better understand their needs. Additionally, in this episode, we are going to talk about the questions that allow the prospect to share their perspective and highlight the potential consequences of not addressing their needs. So, don't miss this episode, remember it's crucial to maintain a strong connection with your prospect throughout the conversation. Listen actively and respond empathetically to what they share. Don't rush through your questions; instead, create an environment where the prospect can explore their challenges and motivations openly.

How stupid can people get? The bottomless pit of idiots gets the spotlight on this morning's show. Sometimes we do this to show the stupid how stupid they are. The other big reason is to show EVERYONE what NOT to do. How to NOT be stupid.

Ask "why," but never ask "why me".

If we are to get our things in order, to make life better, it requires our participation and unfortunately we are too busy participating in meaningless concerns and spend our days distracted by fast food and circuses - just junk and time-kills

We continue our debate on 2023 etiquette - should you stop ever asking people what their job is? What's the correct time to stand up on a plane? How do you feel about winking? Then we brainstorm on what movies would be a good musical and Jane ranks bulletproof coffee, olive oil coffee, Diet Cokagne and oat milk.

Happy Valentine's Day! I love this day. It's fun. It's cute! I made heart-shaped pancakes for my kids and dyed them red! (I know, I have issues.) The other reason I love this day is that the wait list for the Sales Mastermind is open! I LOVE sales. (You can learn more about the six-month Sales Mastermind program and join the wait list at: https://www.sarahwalton.com/salesmastermind/) I was a guest on a podcast interview a few weeks ago, and the host asked me if I was one of those annoying people who always knew how to sell. Spoiler: I was. We started talking about the scrunchies I made in elementary school, and then she had me share a story I'd completely forgotten about: To buy my prom dress, I did all my friends' nails for prom. Who knew? Sales coach. Intuitive businesswoman. Manicurist extraordinaire. (And heart-shaped pancake maker, can't forget that!) My childhood was busy, and we were not well off. It was a playground for me to learn grit and understand how I could thrive in a world not designed to have someone like me succeed.  There were people in my life who helped and supported me, but I was often left alone to sort of watch what was happening, which gave me one of my greatest skills: how to read people. I learned how to observe others and see what they needed.  In the town I live in now, you can't throw a cat without hitting a nail salon. I grew up in a different type of environment. I would look at my friends pushing their cuticles back. Others would bite their nails. We would have nail painting parties. And eventually, the drug store started selling nail extension kits. I asked my friends on the dance team if they'd like me to do their nails for prom for $5. (I think the kit cost $4, which allowed me to do three people.) It was hard at first. I thought I should only charge what the kit was worth. But then I realized I had to do this for them. I had to be there. That's my time and energy, and it's my artwork.  It was spending time with them, making them happy, and letting me help them feel amazing. We had so much fun. I remember we had a sleepover a couple of days before prom. There was a line of girls around the kitchen counter waiting to get their nails done. I had such a wonderful time. We were talking about different things. I met some of the girls I didn't know very well. I remember sitting there at that point and thinking, "this is what it's like to run a business." It was the first time I'd sold to the point that I could afford something that I normally couldn't afford: my prom dress. It was black velvet with royal blue satin puffy sleeves. I got shoes dyed the same royal blue to match the sleeves. I'm sharing this story on Valentine's Day when we open the Sales Mastermind waitlist because it shows what sales are when done with heart. At no point when I was sitting at that kitchen counter did I think, "yes, give me your money." We were all having a blast. They were excited to show their parents and their dates. It wasn't an outrageous expense for them. I was able to buy a dress I loved (on sale!). I bought it from my work because I wasn't afraid to say, "Hey, can I help you with that." To me, that is the art of selling. Selling has never been about trying to separate someone from their money. It's never about trying to be tricky. It's never about "how much money can I make? Or how many successes can I get in?" I just wrapped up one of the last calls of the current Sales Mastermind cohort. We had so much fun and had a mic-drop moment. One of the participants said, "Wait a minute. I will never sell like a salesperson," and I thought, "Oh my gosh, there it is!" It was so funny. We were all laughing.  From day one, I teach the women in this group how to understand their value. I teach them how to understand what their unique selling proposition [https://youtube.com/live/vvF9ytgcuZ8] is, how to write emails that don't sound smarmy, how to share from the heart, and how to look at somebody who needs something and go, "Oh my gosh, can I help you with that? I would love to help you with that." So, if sales freaks you out, if you're like, "I just want to help people. I don't want to be sales-y," come and join us. You know what, we don't do sales-y, we do fun, we do a lot of laughing. Yes, there's strategy, but it's the strategy that will teach you to see how valuable what you have to offer is to other people. Don't you think we deserve to go out into the world, love people, change their lives, and make them feel amazing? I think we do. And it's okay for us to understand that that value should help us sustain a living. On this Valentine's Day, one of the best gifts you give yourself is the ongoing knowledge that what you do matters and that you have everything you need to share those gifts and talents with the world.

"Many of your customers do not have a budget for what you're selling. You need to create so much value, so much need, so such a problem that they find the money.

Relationships … they're complicated, they're wonderful … and they are the most powerful thing that you have access to outside of money in business. It's true. When you sit down and look at your business, your life, and your overall happiness – the quality of your relationships affects all of those things. Think about the conversations you had as a child. These are conversations when you didn't have control over your environment and you had people around you that you didn't choose. It was “the way things were.” You might have heard things like money doesn't grow on trees… women who work outside the home are selfish… things like that. Unfortunately, those conversations shape our worldview and ourselves. So when we look at relationships, think about the types of conversations you're having.  When I work with clients one-on-one, and we start diving into the areas where they feel they lack success, where they feel their business needs to go next – common patterns and behaviors they can't seem to figure out … EVERY SINGLE TIME we can look back at a childhood conversation. We can look back at something that was either modeled for the client or something they were specifically told and taught.  The power of those conversations comes from the depth and the quality of the relationship they had with the person who's either teaching them – or the person they're watching as the behavior is modeled. Even if what was taught no longer matches the client's life – those conversations are rooted in the subconscious.  If you're thinking you don't need strong relationships to make money, I'm going to come back at you and say: ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? How does money come into your business? It comes through other people. I'll tell you, the quality of your relationships will absolutely affect the quality of your life, the quality of your business, and the amount of money that you are able to make. We're talking about having integrity. When you speak, when you show up online, or when you show up in person, people will learn whether or not they can trust you. You earn that trust. Now I will say for many women that I work with, not all of them, but many have a really hard time receiving. Every single relationship is based on giving and receiving. We can't just give all the time right. Receiving takes vulnerability. Something I talked about in Episode 159 was that you have to understand your relationships if you are going to sustain a high level of productivity.  If you are going to go after your dreams, if you are going to go after more money, you're going to have to learn how to undo the role modeling and the lessons that you were taught – some by people who meant well and love you very much. You're going to have to understand those relationships, you're going to have to understand what matters to you, and you're going to have to learn to give and receive. If you haven't cultivated strong relationships yet, go start a mastermind group. Go meet some people. Join a Facebook group! Go find a group of human beings that you can support, and then allow them allow them to support you too. You've got to look at where you can improve your relationships, and I promise you the rest of your life will get easier. One of the things I talk about all the time is how important it is for us as human beings to feel seen, to feel heard, and to feel like we matter. We must know these things, and if we don't, we wither, we die. We need each other. Go out there and love up on each other today.

Wisdom Key #126

Masterminds bring people together to problem solve and make things better. I think it's important, especially for business women, to sign up for Masterminds because the feeling of going it alone can increase your struggle without you even recognizing it. You can get involved directly in the program, or you create your own group by calling together some peers and colleagues whose opinions you trust. They could be people who are further down the road than you are, maybe some people who are behind you on the road, and you can share ideas and help each other move forward. There is no leader in a Mastermind group – each person has the opportunity to give and receive advice.  There are so many Mastermind possibilities out there – even international ones held virtually. People from every time zone can show up. Here are some of the benefits of joining a Mastermind group or creating your own. If you're in business, it can be really lonely. Sometimes it might feel like nobody else could possibly understand the struggles you're going through – it's like you're shouting into the wind. I think it's important to talk about that. One of my most opened emails in the history of my business had the subject line that read: I just want people to know I exist. Masterminds can offer that connection. They can make us feel understood, heard and offer levels of accountability. Masterminds also offer the opportunity either to share your successes or to be reminded of them. I was speaking to my groups recently about feeling stuck and the idea that momentum is not kicking in and that can happen when we don't recognize how far we've already come. It's so easy to let that happen.  It's easy to look down the path that you've been walking all this time and not lift your head up, look back and see how far you've come. Women especially tend to downplay our successes. We speak minimally about them like, “it's no big deal, just a regular Tuesday for me.” But what you're doing is extraordinary and moving the business forward. Your successes can be acknowledged more easily when you're in a Mastermind. And when you're around people who are up to something, people who are ambitious, people who are excited, do you notice how much energy you feel? If you don't know what I'm talking about, I want you to imagine going to an event or a concert, even a sporting event. You feel the energy of all those people right when they get excited or they do, when they're super inspired and happy. That energy is so intense and that is what happens when humans come together. Big groups are fantastic for much more energy, that kind of vitality feeling like “I can conquer the world.” But on the daily or weekly or monthly, when you're visiting with your Mastermind, you will always feel a shot of energy. When you're actually with your people and you start talking about what you're up to, they're going to get excited with you, or if they share what they're up to, you're going to get excited for them. That congruence matters. If you're thinking about starting your own group, it can take about six months to a year to really connect to each other. Small tight-knit groups of trusted colleagues who are willing to be vulnerable with each other can offer high value quality feedback. This differs from online groups offering tips for market research because in those groups of hundreds, sometimes thousands, you don't know those people, their qualifications or their motivations. You don't know how far along they are in their business or why they might think their advice is appropriate for you.  And that matters, because the quality of the feedback really important. So having a tight group you can turn to and trust is really important to avoid sinking revenue and time into ideas that aren't the right fit.

We've all been there before: the person we're interested in is texting us yet they won't bite the bullet and make actual plans. For this week's brunch talk, we're chatting about how to handle the situation when you want a partner, not a pen pal. We discuss why people continuously text when they have no intention of ever meeting up, how to be more direct about wanting plans, and ways to "break up" when you were never really dating in the first place.Got a question you need answered?

In Steph & Laura's catch up today, the girls explain how there's a particular question they constantly get asked (along with so many other women) that needs to stop, and for very good reason! They also address the relentless trolls that have targeted them over the years, finding a way to both make a bit of light out of it but at the same time sending an important message.   We also hear about the NIGHTMARE in-laws stories you guys sent in which sound cringe worthy for you, but are hilarious for the rest of us!   SPECIAL SHARES: Steph - Shameless Scandal series - Mary-Kate and Ashley 2 part series Laura: Bosch & Rockit, 2022 film   KIC UPDATE: We have hit week 2 of our Cardio Barre Challenge – they're intense but quick, which is perfect for fitting into a busy schedule.
