You don't have to go far in Portland to find buildings, walls, and signs covered in graffiti. It's certainly nothing new — but state and local leaders have poured money into the cleanup efforts earlier this year, hoping to lessen the problem. Now a local crew — Graffiti Removal Services — contracted by the city, is fighting back in an interesting way: putting up what is, essentially, preventative graffiti. "I wouldn't really call it tagging buildings," said Paul Watts, owner of Graffiti Removal Services. "We are cleaning them up, and usually the property owner knows that we are doing it. We are putting something up there that sparks a little bit of conversation.""We have the PDX rose. We have the two Sasquatch's holding a salmon and walking over the hillside. Just something fun."The unique, stenciled designs aren't just a conversation starter. Watts explained they've proven to be an effective tactic to ward off vandals. "You know I've been in business in Portland here about nine or 10 years, and really like murals in town, if you put a mural up, they have a little bit of a code of ethics that they will not hurt the mural they don't tag murals," he said.

On this episode we welcome Paul Watts from the Pacific Northwest."My love for Spey Flyfishing comes from growing up in Northern California where my Dad taught me to fly fish for trout in a small creek, being to young to truly appreciate the sport at such a young age I did not stick with it but it planted a seed that stuck with me. As I got older that seed came up and I found the passion and love for it because of the joy, peace and making of new friends it brings to me while on the river where I forget about everything that is going on in the day to day grind.So the love and passion that I have for it I want to share that with people by connecting with new and old friends so they can experience the peace and joy of being out in nature standing in the river with your line dangling next to you feeling the river flowing over your body and watching your line swing down river hearing the river flow by and hearing your thoughts disappear into the wild forgetting about everything as if you are spending time with a old friend."Follow on instagramhttps://instagram.com/speyrodadventures?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Follow on YouTubehttps://youtube.com/channel/UCZ_b0ePyqfrcY-pS_s9pMLQEmail me at:Deaddrifterssociety@gmail.com
Phishing remains one of the oldest and most persistent attack methods for hackers trying to break into an organisation, and potential targets continue to use simulated phishing attacks as one of the primary ways to ensure their staff are ready to defend against it. However, these spoof attacks aren't always well-recieved, and employees can frequently feel unfairly trapped or caught out by these tests. Appearing on this week's podcast to discuss why phishing simulations are often so poorly received, the value that they offer as part of a wider security strategy and how organisations can deploy them more effectively is Paul Watts, ex-CISO, former IT Pro Panellist, and distinguished analyst for the Information Security Forum.Check out https://bit.ly/3RKD0UB for more details.

What is the key to driving more leads into your pipeline? How does prospecting become something you enjoy—not a chore? Joanne Black believes it’s through referral-driven lead generation. It’s a game-changer that most salespeople don’t know how to properly employ. Joanne shares the details in this episode of Sales Reinvented. Don’t miss it! Joanne Black is America’s leading authority on referral selling, a sales contrarian, and the author of No More Cold Calling and Pick Up the Damn Phone! She works with sales organizations to build a referral culture, ensure a qualified pipeline, and get the one-call meeting. Outline of This Episode [0:50] The difference between prospecting and lead generation [1:59] Why are they so important? [2:37] Joanne’s referral-driven lead generation system [5:23] Salespeople must be relationship builders [9:51] Why you should improve your LinkedIn skills [11:35] Joanne’s top 3 dos and top 3 don’ts [13:48] Referral-driven lead generation drives revenue Joanne’s referral-driven lead generation system Joanne uses a referral selling system that includes strategy, metrics, skills, and accountability. Every salesperson loves referrals. The conversion rate is more than 50%. What they’re usually missing is a reliable process where metrics are set to get referrals. Joanne notes that sales leaders think they’re doing a good job with referrals. But the reality is that referrals are few and far between. So she points out that they’re not leveraging one area that would be a game-changer: When you talk about lead generation, who is better to refer to you than your clients? You’ve built relationships with them. Your business, product, or service has helped them achieve results. The problem is that they don’t know what to do and salespeople don’t know how to ask. You have to start with a strategy around referral selling. What outcome do you expect? You have to be committed to making referrals your #1 outbound approach. You have to measure it, set KPIs, build the skills of your sales team, and teach them how to ask for a referral and get an introduction. Then you make sure they’re accountable to a result. Because without accountability, nothing changes. Build relationships to build trust You need to be relationship builders—not sales pitchers. Salespeople pitch and cold email in every means possible. But we already know that pitches don’t work. It’s why the sales profession has gotten a bad name. Customers buy because of the relationship and trust they have with you. Without a relationship, the rest doesn’t matter. The research shows that trust is important but only 18% of buyers said they trust salespeople. If a client agrees to refer someone to you, you help walk them through what that process looks like. Typically, they call or email their connection and say “I’d love for you to talk to Paul Watts, and here’s why…” This person will trust your client, trust that they won’t waste their time, and that they’re a credible resource. The trust transfers to you. Good salespeople also need patience, persistence, and a good contact strategy. How are you going to stay in touch? What insights can you share? Why you should improve your LinkedIn skills Joanne emphasizes that you need LinkedIn skills. LinkedIn is a place to begin a conversation and build a relationship—not to pitch. She recommends sending a personalized invitation to make a personal connection. It’s also a great place to begin insightful conversations if you’re really good at asking questions. There is so much news coming in and so many things to talk about. What is going on that you can educate yourself on so you can engage in conversation with your prospect? You build an amazing relationship, learn what they’re looking for, and schedule the next call. Referral-driven lead generation drives revenue A sales VP came to Joanne with a problem. She needed to drive revenue faster. So what did Joanne recommend? That they implement a referral system. In less than two months of implementing the new lead generation system, they drove 26 opportunities into their CRM. Joanne points out that it reinforces the fact that people aren’t systematically getting referrals. There’s a huge opportunity to close the gap with referral-driven selling.

Subscribe to Selling With Social Apple Podcasts | Stitcher | Google Play | Google Podcasts Is your sales process experiencing unneeded hiccups or roadblocks because you’re not taking into consideration the communication styles of your prospects and buyers? If you don’t understand the 4 primary communication styles, it’s very likely. That’s why I asked Paul Watts to be my guest on this episode of #SellingWithSocial. Paul is a sales leader who has invested a considerable amount of time in understanding the dynamics behind effective communication. His upcoming book on communication styles will be a great resource for sellers and marketers alike. By listening to this episode you’ll learn all 4 of the dominant communication styles, why it’s important to be aware of them, how to discern the communication style of your prospects from their social profiles, and how to identify communication styles on the fly as you talk with prospects for the first time. This is incredibly valuable information that could dramatically improve the effectiveness and time frames your sales process, so be sure you listen to this episode. The 4 Communication Styles You Need To Be Aware Of - And Why Although no individual perfectly fits into a static category, each of us does have our own bent when it comes to how we prefer to communicate. In this conversation, Paul breaks down the 4 communication styles that are most predominant... Drivers - These individuals tend to prefer logical responses to situations. That means data, facts, and figures will be effective and appreciated. Expressives - These are people who tend to have emotionally based responses to situations and who will hear and receive emotionally laced responses more easily themselves. Analytics - like the Driver, people who are analytic will appreciate and communicate with logical responses more than emotional responses. Amiables - People who are stylistically Amiable will tend toward emotive responses as well. So if you want to communicate with them effectively, use emotionally laden words and phrases. Can you see how understanding these communication styles can help you speak the language of those you are interacting with? Listen to understand these in more detail and to hear examples of how it works in practical situations. You Could Be Derailing Your Sales Process Through Communication Style Bias Communication style bias happens when you filter your prospect or buyer’s responses through your own communication style. For example, if your communication style is that of “Expressive,” you will tend toward hearing what others say through that stylistic filter - even if they are NOT that type of communicator. The result is that you won't be communicating as effectively as you think you are. That’s why it’s important to understand the various styles of communication. The effectiveness of your sales process depends on you becoming skilled at speaking to people in a way they will hear, understand, and accept. Listen as Paul provides examples of how this knowledge can be used in phone calls, email prospecting, sales meetings, and more. How To Discern The Communication Style Of Buyers Every step of the sales process requires that we intelligently approach our prospects or buyers by using a variety of perspectives. Among them are the buyer’s persona, their buying journey, and their communication styles. How can you speak in a way that appeals to a prospect’s communication style if you don’t know them? In this conversation, Paul shares these suggestions: Ask how their weekend was - the response could indicate their communication style. A person who is dominantly a Driver or Analytic will often give a short answer. They are ready to get down to business, not engage in chit-chat. A person who is Expressive or Amiable will engage in a more detailed conversation about their weekend. But there are differences - the Expressive will speak in self-centric terms (MY weekend) while the Amiable will speak in inclusive terms (OUR weekend). Notice the speed at which people talk Drivers and Expressives tend to speak quickly because they are eager to get down to business and make progress. Analytics and Amiables speak more slowly and often take time to consider before responding or making decisions. Notice the types of questions people ask Drivers and Analytics tend to ask more logic based questions that require facts and figures. Expressives and Amiables will ask more emotive questions, wanting to know the human impact of decisions or approaches. Telling VS Asking Drivers and Expressives tend to “tell” about their opinions or experience. Analytics and Amiables will “ask” your opinion or approach instead - “What would YOU do?” Tools To Help You Speak In Your Buyers’ Communication Style If you apply the tips Paul shares in this episode you’ll be well on your way to supercharging your sales process through better communication with prospects and buyers.

I met Paul Watts when running my first marathon last November. He is an inspiration. He is blind and has run 340 marathons when we recorded the podcast end of last year. He also carried the Olympic torch in 2012. So this is a story of personal success. It is for runners and anyone interested in running or is looking for an inspiration and motivation to run a bit more than you currently do. For most of the population a marathon is a stretch, and Paul has done 340 being blind. What an amazing achievement. We speak about our running experience, share a good story and get some advice on how to stay fit; he tells us about how he finished an Ultra Marathon with a broken wrist and how it works having a ‘guided runner’. Enjoy this episode, a different angle, but a bigger inspiration than most! His motto is ’never say never" - if you say you can’t, then you talk yourself into that you can’t. "I wanted to do one marathon and I am still going." All book recommendations can be found here. This podcast is hosted by Volker Ballueder (Ballueder Partners) who also wrote a book on productivity and life improvement #BeBetter.

“We’re on a Mission to change the negative perception of sales and make it a profession to be proud of” As the Host of the Sales Reinvented Podcast, Paul Watts believes that sales is an honourable profession. As a Sales and Sales Management Coach, he endorses a full lifecycle sales model that is more than just one party selling to another. It brings value to both parties through a relationship – not a transaction. “What makes you a valuable contributor today will not necessarily make you valuable tomorrow” As a Sales Performance Coach at Base Over, Apex Paul combines the most effective sales strategies with personal accountability to produce results for the companies he works with. His focus is New Business Development and Social Selling. A pillar of Paul’s training is teaching salespeople how to increase their effectiveness by finding and accessing an account’s decision makers. “The amount of change going on in the world right now is unparalleled. The world has never changed as quickly as it is today” In his 15+ years as a salesperson Paul Watts has received numerous sales awards for his ability to find and influence the Executive Decision Makers. As a Trainer he shares actionable examples on how to do this directly from his successful sales career. One cutting edge strategy that Paul both practices and teaches is Social Selling. He trains sales professionals how to use social media such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube as part of a disciplined sales process. A key point in any of his training is making people accountable for their sales success by assigning goals and following up on targets for future engagements through coaching sessions. His knowledge is expanded upon by his designation as a Certified Sales Professional and Professional Sales Instructor with the Canadian Professional Sales Association (CPSA) which has trained more than 12,000 salespeople. Paul is also a certified Adult Educator. Join us for this 20 minute audio adventure as we explore World-Class Sales Leadership Perspectives with Paul Watts.
