On this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount Jr. sits down with Founder and Sales Leader Advisor, Nigel Green, to discuss his approach to hiring elite salespeople by using his four rules. Nigel teaches us that the only skill a sales leader should have is the ability to hire elite salespeople. Elite salespeople don't find us, we have to go find them. Key Takeaways Hiring Challenges: Many VPs of sales and CEOs find hiring salespeople to be one of their biggest challenges, as they strive to maximize and optimize their current talent pool. Importance of Training: Sales leaders should ensure that their sales teams have access to necessary training resources, and platforms like Sales Gravy can be valuable for continuous learning. Scouting vs. Tryouts: Unlike traditional hiring methods, scouting for elite salespeople involves actively recruiting top talent rather than waiting for applicants, akin to sports scouting. Non-Obvious Qualities: Hiring managers should look for non-obvious qualities in candidates that indicate potential for elite performance, rather than just obvious traits like hard work and prospecting skills. Prospecting for Talent: Sales leaders should prospect for new hires much like they prospect for new business, using networking, customer referrals, and tools like LinkedIn to identify top talent. Four Rules for Hiring Elite Salespeople: Elite salespeople do not apply to job postings. They are the stars and should be treated accordingly. They often require customized compensation plans that may exceed standard budgets. They typically do not already work for your company and require active recruitment. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZnVk40pmmE The Importance of Hiring Elite Salespeople If you're in a leadership role within a sales organization, you probably know that hiring the right salespeople can be one of the biggest challenges. The need to hire top-notch salespeople is critical. It's not just about filling a position; it's about finding those who can truly excel and drive your business forward. Nigel Green emphasizes that hiring the right people is the only skill that really matters for sales leaders. Without this skill, even the best sales strategies and training programs won't lead to the results you want. Why Traditional Hiring Methods Fail One common mistake is relying on traditional hiring methods like posting a job and waiting for applications. The problem with this approach is that elite salespeople are not actively looking for new jobs. They're usually too busy being successful in their current roles. This means you have to be proactive in finding and recruiting them. Simply waiting for the best candidates to come to you might result in missed opportunities. The Importance of Scouting Your Sales Team Think of hiring elite salespeople like scouting for a sports team. Just as a football scout looks beyond physical attributes to find exceptional players, sales leaders need to look beyond resumes and job applications. Elite salespeople are often not in the job market; they are too busy focussing on their current roles. This is why a scouting approach is necessary. Instead of waiting for applications, you should actively seek out potential candidates and evaluate their performance in real-world scenarios. How to Scout for Elite Salespeople - Network with Your Top Performers: Ask your top sales reps who they know in the industry. High-performing salespeople often network with others who are also top performers. Their recommendations can lead you to potential candidates who may not be actively looking for a new job. - Leverage Your Customers: Your customers interact with many salespeople in their daily lives. Ask them who they believe are the best sales reps they've encountered. This can give you leads on high-caliber salespeople who might not be on your radar. - Use LinkedIn Smartly: LinkedIn's Sales Navigator tool can be incredibly ...

Two of his clients have scaled and sold for more than 3X EBITDA, while others have attracted investments from top venture funds. Most importantly, they hit their sales targets. Check out the latest episode of our Conversational Selling podcast to learn more about Nigel.In this episode, Nancy and Nigel discuss the following:Problems sales leaders face dailyFocus areas for sales leaders: revenue, profitability, new customersFrequency of team meetings for sales leadersImportance of asking better questionsSales aptitude tests: context and applicationHiring based on competency alone vs. considering chemistry and characterDistinction between a good salesperson and a good sales leaderKey Takeaways: You must build a team to create customers at scale that aligns with the business's overarching strategy.Good sales leaders are productively paranoid about what is right around the corner that could derail my team.At least once a week, the leader has to meet with the team and remind them of this responsibility to meet and exceed future business expectations."I think the problems that sales leaders face could be bucketed under majoring in the minor things. And what that means, if we were to unpack it, is that if you found yourself in this position, it would sound all too familiar to you. You look back on your day; you were busy and did a lot of stuff. Most of what you did was probably internal and not enough external, meaning that you were on, especially today; we're recording this on a Monday. So, a lot of sales leaders today will spend their entire Monday in meetings that will probably not create one single customer, and they will probably not be involved in any training or development of the sales team. And it's certainly not going to be involved in the overarching strategy of the business. It's probably going to be meetings that involve updates around product or operations, updates that have already happened and that you cannot control and ultimately won't matter in creating a customer, training a rep, or the overarching strategy of the business. And that's the biggest problem: many sales leaders don't have enough autonomy in their schedule. And if they do have autonomy, they're still not spending it on the three areas of the business that matter most: customers, reps, strategy." – NIGEL"I ask a lot of really good questions. So, it gets to where I'd never really have to ask anyone for an investment or to hire me because they see through the power of my questions that their life might be better if they had me as an extension of their team. So, that translates, I think, naturally to the types of things that I work on in my coaching business, which is primarily what I do as coach sales leaders. I help them improve the quality of their questions. And as they start asking better questions, they start having better problems. Better problems lead to better results. So, we get to this place where we don't have an activity problem, or we don't have a "we're not hitting our sales" problem. We start having deeper problems around strategy, positioning, technology, compensation plans, team structure, data, and augmenting sales reps with better support systems—not just hiring more people but hiring various sellers for different types of roles in the sales organization. And we start having better problems." - NIGEL"If you want to transform your sales team, you've got to understand that your sales team is only as good as your worst rep, and your worst rep is probably the one that gives you an insight into your sales leader's tolerance threshold. And so be pushing yourselves later to always try to replace your worst rep with a new one. And sometimes replacing your worst rep with a new rep is taking that individual and making them better, making them fundamentally. I'm not advocating for just creating a bunch of turnovers, but I think, you know, if I'm a leader of an organization, I'm trying to find out where's my weakest link and how do I go about systemically attacking that to making it better." – NIGELConnect with Nigel Green:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/revenueharvest/Revenue Harvest: https://www.therevenueharvest.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

` El caballero verde es una figura legendaria de la literatura medieval inglesa, que aparece por primera vez en el poema anónimo Sir Gawain y el caballero verde, escrito a finales del siglo XIV. En esta obra, el caballero verde desafía a los caballeros de la corte del rey Arturo a un juego: él les permitirá golpearlo con su hacha, a cambio de que uno de ellos se comprometa a recibir el mismo golpe un año después. El único que acepta el reto es Gawain, el sobrino de Arturo, quien le corta la cabeza al caballero verde. Sin embargo, para su sorpresa, el caballero verde recoge su cabeza y le recuerda su promesa, antes de marcharse. El caballero verde ha sido interpretado de diversas formas por los estudiosos y los artistas, desde un símbolo de la naturaleza y la fertilidad, hasta un representante del paganismo y la muerte. Su aspecto físico también ha variado, desde un hombre completamente verde, hasta un guerrero con armadura y escudo verde. Su identidad se revela al final del poema original, pero no la desvelaremos aquí para no arruinar la sorpresa a quienes quieran leerlo o ver alguna de sus adaptaciones cinematográficas. Entre las versiones fílmicas del caballero verde, podemos destacar las siguientes: - Gawain and the Green Knight (1973), dirigida por Stephen Weeks y protagonizada por Murray Head como Gawain y Nigel Green como el caballero verde. Esta película respeta bastante el argumento y el tono del poema original, aunque introduce algunos cambios en los personajes y las escenas. - Sword of the Valiant (1984), también dirigida por Stephen Weeks y con Sean Connery como el caballero verde y Miles O'Keeffe como Gawain. Esta película es una versión libre y fantástica del poema, que añade elementos como brujas, dragones y gigantes, y altera el final de la historia. - The Green Knight (2021), dirigida por David Lowery y con Dev Patel como Gawain y Ralph Ineson como el caballero verde. Esta película es una adaptación personal y estilizada del poema, que explora los temas de la honra, la fe y el destino, y que ofrece una visión más oscura y ambigua del caballero verde. Estas son solo algunas de las películas que se han inspirado en el caballero verde, pero hay muchas más. Si te interesa este personaje y su leyenda, te invitamos a que busques otras obras que lo retraten, o que leas el poema original, que es una joya de la literatura medieval inglesa. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Antena Historia te regala 30 días PREMIUM, para que lo disfrutes https://www.ivoox.com/premium?affiliate-code=b4688a50868967db9ca413741a54cea5 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Produce Antonio Cruz Edita ANTENA HISTORIA Antena Historia (podcast) forma parte del sello iVoox Originals ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- web……….https://antenahistoria.com/ correo.....info@antenahistoria.com Facebook…..Antena Historia Podcast | Facebook Twitter…...https://twitter.com/AntenaHistoria Telegram…...https://t.me/foroantenahistoria DONACIONES PAYPAL...... https://paypal.me/ancrume ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ¿QUIERES ANUNCIARTE en ANTENA HISTORIA?, menciones, cuñas publicitarias, programas personalizados, etc. Dirígete a Antena Historia - AdVoices Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals

The legendary Harry Alan Towers: independent film producer, part-time pimp and full-time opportunist. Britain's answer to Roger Corman, Towers started off the 60s believing that your brain is the most powerful sexual organ. By the end of the Sixties, he accepted – like everybody else in the biz did – that, nope, your junk is. Turned on by the literary bone fides he'd get by adapting great books into great movies, Towers instead turned his attention instead to noted hate-crime enthusiast Sax Rohmer. His pet project focused on the most evil man who never lived: Dr. Fu Manchu.In this episode, Bart and Jenna sidestep Bootleg Bond by focusing on Fu Manchu films, a revival franchise that never would have existed if not for ‘60s Bond Mania. Jenna moans and bitches about how much she can't stand these admittedly dated and racist films even if she kinda secretly enjoys the pop-mod styled misandrist villains. And to his utter delight, Bart finally gets his vengeance for all of the Eurospy trash Jenna forced him to watch. You have not heard the last of…!The following films are discussed:• The Face of Fu Manchu (1965) Directed by Don Sharp Starring Christopher Lee, Nigel Green, Tsai Chin• The Brides of Fu Manchu (1966) Directed by Don Sharp Starring Christopher Lee, Douglas Wilmer, Tsai Chin• The Million Eyes of Sumuru (1967) Directed by Lindsay Shonteff Starring Shirley Eaton, Frankie Avalon, George Nader• The Vengeance of Fu Manchu (1967) Directed by Jeremy Summers Starring Christopher Lee, Douglas Wilmer, Tsai Chin• The Blood of Fu Manchu (1968) Directed by Jesús Franco Starring Christopher Lee, Richard Greene, Tsai Chin• The Girl from Rio (1969) Directed by Jesús Franco Starring Shirley Eaton, Richard Stapley, George Sanders• The Castle of Fu Manchu (1969) Directed by Jesús Franco Starring Christopher Lee, Richard Greene, Tsai Chin

Nigel Green is the Founder of Business of Primary Care, CRO of Affirm Health, and the host of the Revenue Harvest Podcast. Companies that want to grow from 10 to 50 million in annual revenue need to effectively hire salespeople. The team that got you to $10 million might look different to make it to 30 or even 50 million. Nigel discusses the biggest obstacles in hiring sellers and the biggest mistakes leaders make during the hiring process. He also shares his 6 steps for selecting the right candidates, which measure culture fit just as much as competency, and gives actionable tips to ask out-of-the-box questions that reveal the character traits that you are looking for. HIGHLIGHT QUOTES Hiring based on fit is essential to build a top-performing sales team - Nigel: "I break it down into 3 Cs. So you've got competency, which is the stuff that they've used to done. Are they technically sound? Can they orchestrate a demo? Can they use technology? Do they understand the tech stack? Can they ask the right questions? All that's competency. And you have to be competent at that." "But here's the catch and here's where a lot of leaders get wrong. They spend too much time on that and not enough of, do we have common ground? Do we have shared passions? Do they care about what this business does for our customers? Are they bought into how our company is uniquely positioned to solve a problem?" Hesitations about a candidate during a reference call is a red flag - Nigel: "If there is any pause, it's a no. Even if it's a yes, if there's any pause, in my mind, I'm trying to walk myself out of a no. If it's a very quick, hey, Nigel, absolutely, I'd hire this person right now." "If it's huh, well, yeah... I'm talking myself out of a no. What I've learned is that if it really is a yes, there's no hesitation in that reference whatsoever. They say absolutely, real talk, I will hire that person."

What is Nigel Green's equation for screening new hires?CHEMISTRY + CHARACTER > COMPETENCYAs Nigel said, Competency is just one-third of the equation. In this episode, Nigel explains why he doesn't look at a candidate's resume, as it is not the full picture of a person. Tune in today as Nigel discusses what really matters to him when interviewing a candidate in this latest episode of Sales Transformation.Want to book more meetings and close more deals?

A resume is someone's highlight reel. What it doesn't tell me is what they suck at, where they fell short in their job, how they were a bad chemistry addition to the team, you get the point, right, it doesn't tell me all the bad things.”NIGEL: Character and chemistry over competency“What I'm looking for first and foremost, because competency, which is all the resume stuff, is only a third of the recipe for a good candidate. The other two-thirds is chemistry and character, I don't need to look at your resume to establish chemistry and your character.”Connect with NigelNigel Green | Affirm Health | AffirmHealth.com | Revenue HarvestConnect with Collin LinkedIn | YouTube | Newsletter | Twitter | IG | TikTok
PREPARATION, RECOMMENDATION, COMPENSATIONHow do you prepare in investing to a new sales hire? Where do you find the best salespeople? How much do you have to compensate for your employees' referrals? These are 3 key items that Nigel Green covers today, and you will find out his insights by tuning in to this latest episode of Sales Transformation.Want to book more meetings and close more deals? Start selling the way your buyers want to buy with Humantic AI! Stop sending boring sales e-mails and start sending personalized GIFs and Memes with VIDU.io!TRANSFORMING MOMENTSNIGEL: What to think about when investing in a sales hire“What we need to do is pause and say, if this rep that I'm about to invest all this time and energy into recruiting and training and onboarding, if they're going to be successful in a year from now, what do I need to see in the first 30 days, first 90 days? What do I need to see from them at six months, it may be it's, it probably is a combination of a set of behaviors, a set of attitudes, and then assert a quality quantifiable objectives at certain periods of time.”NIGEL: The best salespeople are not out there looking for jobs“The best salespeople don't apply to jobs. And the reason they don't apply for jobs is because they're busy being successful at their current job. They don't need a job. And so if I made you mad, I'm sorry, but it's probably true.”NIGEL: Compensate your employees fairly for their referrals“The reason why the employee referral program, why most of them suck is because the bonus isn't worth your employees' time. If you're gonna go pay a recruiter 20% to 25% of that employee's first-year salary, why in the hell wouldn't you pay one of your existing sales reps or any employee in the company the same amount? It's all at risk. It's meaning that your agreement with the recruiter is contingent, it's contingent on that recruiter delivering a candidate that you deem worthy of hiring.”Connect with NigelNigel Green | Affirm Health | AffirmHealth.com | Revenue HarvestConnect with Collin LinkedIn | YouTube | Newsletter | Twitter | IG | TikTok

Meaning that we have a bias with our relationship with hiring, meaning we think we're better than we might actually be, and so we tend to do the second part, which is the second most important thing, we tend to rely more on instincts than we do an actual evidence-based practice.” - Nigel: We all have a bias when hiring Connect with Nigel and learn more about what he's been working on!About NigelAbout Affirm HealthAffirmHealth.comRevenue HarvestConnect with Collin HERE or through LinkedIn!Tune in to more exciting episodes of Sales Transformation!Be sure to leave a comment or review!

Every business owner and hiring manager knows that hiring and training new talent is already expensive. But what makes it more costly is when you have to do it all again due to hiring the wrong people for the job.In this episode of the Love Selling Hate Sales podcast, our host Joshua Wagner talks to healthcare executive and bestselling author Nigel Green on why hiring salespeople is the biggest challenge in the sales world today, and what proactive strategies are available for hiring managers today to stop making the same expensive hiring mistakes.Nigel also touches on the skills and educational background that sellers can pick up to differentiate themselves and give them an edge over their peers. HIGHLIGHTSThe biggest challenge in sales today: hiring salespeople What's going wrong in sales hiring today? Do not forget to do a job analysis Have your interviews reveal the kind of seller that your job applicant is Compete with no one but yourself Be aware of your own hiring biasesSelling has become more about math than persuasion Sellers are losing because they can't create a business case Where the sales field is going and how sales managers should adapt QUOTESNigel on the proof that we are not good at hiring sellers: "What's going wrong with sales hiring is that most sales managers think they're good at it. If they were in fact good at it, then why is it the case that the average tenure of an account executive, which is a closer or a middle-tier performer in a sales organization, is 11 months or less?"Nigel's tips for becoming a better salesperson if you don't have a STEM background: "If you're listening to this and you don't have a STEM background, well you should study just economics. Because so much of selling today has become about math, statistics, probability, and not about woo, persuasion."

This episode of the Revenue Harvest Podcast features your host, Nigel Green. He discusses the top 3 biggest mistakes that sales leaders make when hiring salespeople. A mistake in hiring produces not only lackluster results for the company but also drains resources that could eventually cost you your job. Nigel introduces his 6-step process for hiring that he is excited to share with sales leaders today! QUOTES04:31 Mistake number 1: Hiring without doing a job analysis: "You go post it and you immediately start interviewing candidates. Well, the problem with that is you don't really know at this point what you need. And so, most sales leaders get this wrong because they jump to interviewing without doing a job analysis."05:49 Mistake number 2: Interviewing based on intuition and a lack of process: "You need a defined set of steps in the interview process. You ever heard a candidate say to you, well, mister hiring manager, what's the next step? And if you can't clearly articulate not only the next step but the rest of the steps to the candidate, you run the risk of one, not running a very good process, but two, losing a candidate because it doesn't appear to the candidate as if you know what you're looking for." 09:13 Mistake number 3: Hiring based on biases: "Because you played a college sport, just a college sport, doesn't mean that you're going to be more successful in selling, or less successful in selling."

This episode of the Revenue Harvest Podcast with Nigel Green features Ross Pomerantz, Founder and Chief Corpitalist at Corp Capital. Nigel uses satire in his content to comment on the prevalent bro culture of sales. He observes a need for change, from salespeople's motivations at the bottom to the hiring practices of sales leadership at the top. Ross envisions his company as the place to connect founders and CEOs who crush sales to the most talented salespeople who will continue this trend of success. HIGHLIGHTSFighting against toxic sales bro cultures with satireSelf-awareness to integrate diversity needs with sales leadershipConnecting rockstar CEOs with rockstar salespeopleHire athletes and people who grind for sales roles QUOTES16:30 Ross: "As a salesperson, I want to be sold by a CEO. I want to work for someone who can sell. Especially if you're going to join an early-stage company, the top salespeople, the early salespeople, they're all founders. If you can't sell me on your company, on your vision, how am I going to go do that when it's your thing? It's your baby."18:54 Ross: "I love sales because it is the great equalizer. I just do think that there are people that are better suited mentally to handle the task of sales, of which there is a lot of mental weight that goes into it. The wait room at 4 AM. You got to go hit someone. Someone's going to hit you on every single play."19:23 Ross: "I would venture to guess there's studies that would say athletes are better suited for a sales role. But I think there's a lot of things that people overlook. I do think the service industry, I think retail. People who grind. That's who you want."

Sales Game Changers | Tip-Filled Conversations with Sales Leaders About Their Successful Careers
This is show 531. Read the complex transcription on the Sales Game Changers Podcast website. Tips for sales career success. NIGEL'S TIP: "Schedule a meeting with the CEO and say, “I want to know from you what the ideal exit would be for this business. What's the timeline? Is it three years? Is it five years? You've got a number in mind, how much do you want to sell this for? Who might buy it?” Get an understanding, because it goes back to the first principle of plan, beginning with the end in mind. Go figure out from your leadership team what the best potential outcome for the business would be. Then start designing your work to help them achieve that."
This episode of the Revenue Harvest Podcast with Nigel Green features Tom Critchlow, a strategy consultant focusing on media companies and early to mid-stage startups with expertise in product and marketing strategy. He discusses how dashboards must treat input and output metrics differently and the importance of being transparent. He also talks about cleaning up data to display accurate data on the dashboard. Speaking to the c-suite and mid-management, he suggests strengthening your executive presence by taking a collaborative approach to diagnosing internal and external factors that affect output. HIGHLIGHTSMeasure input and output metrics differently on the dashboardDiagnose internal processes and external pressuresPresent metrics your CEO wants to seeExecutive presence: Clean your data and be transparent in presenting it QUOTES07:15 Tom: "What are the activities and kind of projects and things that we're doing now that will move the needle tomorrow? And this is what Amazon calls input metrics. So these are things that are typically more directly under our control. Sales and revenue and things like that are not directly under our control. We work on projects that will hopefully move the needle on those and hopefully influence them."08:22 Tom: "Most dashboards will be better off really focusing in on a small number of output metrics, and to each of those, two to three input metrics."16:23 Tom: "A great dashboard will actually expose the data source to you. So a great dashboard will not only tell you this is the number of leads this month or the number of calls made or the number of pieces of content published or something like that, but they will actually connect that to a kind of you can click a thing and it will show you the data."26:48 Tom: For us, SEO is three things. It's good product pages, it's producing more content every month, and it's doing good visual PR. You have to boil it down so that the CEO is like, 'Great, I understand what you need. There are three levers that we can pull and I can see that the product or image is not pulling that lever hard enough."

This episode of the Revenue Harvest Podcast with Nigel Green features Maria Boulden, Vice President and Executive Partner at Gartner. A majority of people now want a digital and seller-free experience during their buying process. This does not mean that sellers are obsolete, rather it indicates that sellers must adapt and meet buyers where they are to sell successfully. This could mean providing information to buyers and knowing the points when buyers would actually prefer to engage a human. Maria emphasizes buyers' behavior of researching on their own to reach a decision and leading them to a decision rather than selling to them. HIGHLIGHTSA trend of preferring no engagement with sellers in a buying processKnow how your targets want to buyForecasting with machine learning and using verifiers Offer freemium and demos that don't involve phone calls QUOTES06:46 Maria: "The primary trend I would point to is well before the pandemic, we saw massive increases in online learning. Well before the pandemic, we saw a growing preference for a rep-free sale. And well before the pandemic, we saw the beginning of a disconnect between how buyers wanted to buy and how sellers were stuck selling to the point where a buyer would disproportionately reward a better customer experience even if the product or service was inferior."18:25 Maria: "The ones who think they've seen it before, the ones who think it's just going to snap right back to the way it used to be, and all I have to do is have one good dinner or just put me in front of the customer again, they're shutting down to the changes that the world has already made."26:57 Maria: "The most successful sales lead to what you're trying to sell instead of leading with what you're trying to sell. People love to buy. They hate to be sold."

It really is key these days when it comes to outbound. You cannot just do generic messaging and spray and pray. You have to be personalized. You have to know who is it that you're sending this email to, what do they care about, and what company are they with."Alex: "If you're going to pick up the phone and call people and you expect them to give you time, you better know how exactly you're going to be providing them value when you get the chance to talk with them."Alex: "We pull our SDRs together weekly to role play and we ask them to practice so that they can be prepared, and so now we're doing that at the management level too. We're going to be coming together and doing exercises where we do have an email exercise and they go into breakout rooms and they practice giving feedback on an email"
This episode of the Revenue Harvest Podcast with Nigel Green features Lisa Earle Mcleod, author of Selling with Noble Purpose. Leaders must point toward a noble purpose as their true north because the numbers are lagging indicators of the beliefs and behaviors of the sales team.The great thing is that you can train for belief and behavior. When people have a strong purpose about how to help others, it stops being about themselves and about others. It is from this core that you can build upon sales skills.To create a reorientation in your salespeople, start by asking the question, "how will this customer be different after doing business with you?" Finding the answer to this question requires sellers to look deeper and realize that making it about others creates true impact which translates to even better numbers.

This noble purpose is the differentiator for top performers. But, what we found over time, is it can actually be taught to everyone else."Lisa: "You're looking for that wonderful mix of people who are interested in you, to become sellers for you, because they think oh, this really does make a difference, and also, as leaders, you've got to articulate it and reinforce it on a daily basis."Lisa: "Sellers with a sense of purpose bigger than money have greater resilience and greater tenacity. And here's why: we human beings are at our best when we know someone else is counting on us."Lisa: "A customer impact story is different. It's not about your offering and your seller is not the hero. A customer impact story is about how you made a difference in the life of a customer."

HIGHLIGHTS The secret society for success measures success by assistsGivers and takers: Being other-focused and generousThe spotlight mindset and chasing after the creditThe joy is in the journey, not the resultQUOTESTim: "There's a different scoreboard that the secret society operates under. We define success as success in the assists. Success in helping somebody else win. So there's some foundational principles; one of those is that idea of helping others win."Tim: "What if success isn't just your revenue numbers at the end of the month? What if it had something to do with the success that you were able to help unlock or attain for your client? So it's just going one step further." Tim: "Givers are a relatively rare breed. They tilt reciprocity in the other direction, preferring to give more than they get. Whereas takers tend to be self-focused, evaluating what other people can offer them. Givers are other-focused, paying more attention to what other people need from them. Their preferences aren't about money."Tim: "There is no limit to what a man can do or where he can go if he doesn't mind who gets the credit. And, for so many of us, we just want the credit. We want people to see us and recognize us, to look at us as successful as a salesperson or a team leader."

HIGHLIGHTS Lead with empathy: Warmth over powerSales as a mom: To-do lists, research, and time managementQuiara's routine and creating authentic connectionsConnect with stories to hire the best sellersQUOTESQuiara: "What are we measuring each other based off of and how do we want to be perceived? Those things really matter and connection is really what matters so much in sales. We do it all the time with clients. If we don't make that connection, we don't get the trust, we probably don't get the deal."Quiara: "The more honest you can be with people and upfront and create that connection and that vulnerability, the better they're going to trust you. The more human you are, the more human they can be. And now you have that connection."Quiara: "We have gotten over a lot of these uncomfortable things and we lean into them instead of leaning away from them. When you lean into someone's uncomfortable moment, you created trust. When you lean away, you just created a wedge."Quiara: "I think that, if we gave people a shot for who they were, what their background is versus what their resume says in terms of jobs they've held, we'd have a lot more top sellers because a lot of the people who are on my team and other teams came from strange places and they're the ones crushing it."
This episode of the Revenue Harvest Podcast with Nigel Green features Andy Paul, sales coach, consultant, host of the Sales Enablement with Andy Paul podcast, and author of Sell Without Selling Out book which was just published recently.Andy stresses the importance of sales leaders to be intentional in reinforcing positive rather than negative sales practices. This means that frontline managers must be guided that their odds of succeeding are better when they devote time and attention to helping their individual sellers.For sellers, Andy also says that they must stay in the right situations to ensure that they grow in alignment with their personal values. And in actual selling, Andy explains how cognitive empathy differs from mere sympathy and how practicing this can produce win-win-win situations for the buyer, company, and themselves.You can connect with Andy in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/realandypaul/Website: https://www.andypaul.com/Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sales-enablement-podcast-with-andy-paul/id1046045197Amazon book link: https://www.amazon.com/Sell-Without-Selling-Out-Success/dp/1989603572To hear more episodes of The Revenue Harvest Podcast, you can visit http://www.therevenueharvest.com/ or listen to major podcasting platforms such as Apple, Google, Spotify, etc.You can also connect with Nigel by visiting the following links:Website (Revenue Harvest): http://www.therevenueharvest.com/Website (Nigel Green): https://nigelgreen.co/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/revenueharvest/HIGHLIGHTSSellers are losing the human touch of sellingOrganization leaders perpetuate negative practices in salesStay in situations that align with your values Ask good questions with cognitive empathy: Hearing versus listeningQUOTESAndy: "I think what sales leaders should do is start looking at how do I define and design my selling process so that I achieve the win rate I desire and then scale that, as opposed to doing what we're doing today."Andy: "Just be calm and relaxed. Take the information and hear it, process it, decide, okay, what's the best choice now for what I should say? And it's not like you're waiting for 30 seconds and thinking about it. You're in the flow but you give yourself that extra beat."Andy: "What I talk about in the book is called cognitive empathy, and it's not just understanding how they feel the way they do. It's understanding why they feel that way with that information."Andy: "The problem is too many people think well, this prospect fits our ICP and I'm talking to personas, we got these personas nailed. I got this and not thinking this is a unique human being working in a company at their own unique set of concerns about the problems they're facing and the outcomes they want to achieve. I need to be curious about that instead of assuming I know exactly what they're going to say."

Or perhaps we should say British Anti-Bond Spy Films in the ‘60s. Everybody knows midcentury cinema was spy crazy, but it also goes without saying that these spy films were largely modeled after the action-packed espionage found in James Bond and very little on the kind of work actual spies do. What links the films in our latest Bootleg Bond episode is the common goal on the part of a number of British production companies to demonstrate that there's plenty of drama to be found in a more realistic portrayal of spy work.In this episode, Bart and Jenna take a dutch-angled romp through a series of nihilistic films that make zero effort to glamorize the life of a spy. They investigate how each of these chosen films work to subvert a different aspect of the Bond phenomena – from the sex and honor, down to the cinematic structure – and have an absolute blast doing it. The following films are discussed:• Ring of Spies (1964) Directed by Robert Tronson Starring Bernard Lee, William Sylvester, Margaret Tyzack• The Ipcress File (1965) Directed by Sidney J. Furie Starring Michael Caine, Nigel Green, Guy Doleman• The Spy Who Came in from the Cold (1965) Directed by Martin Ritt Starring Richard Burton, Oskar Werner, Claire Bloom• The Quiller Memorandum (1966) Directed by Michael Anderson Starring George Segal, Alec Guinness, Senta Berger• The Deadly Affair (1967) Directed by Sidney Lumet Starring James Mason, Maximilian Schell, Simone Signoret• A Dandy in Aspic (1968) Directed by Anthony Mann & Laurence Harvey Starring Laurence Harvey, Tom Courtenay, Mia Farrow
