Lightning Round: Top 10 Ways You Should Be Doing Marketing    Question: April from Milwaukee asks, “I am a veteran sales professional – I have been selling in manufacturing for more than twenty-five years. But I have to tell you this last year has been hell— tariff threats, the economy, competition, a total reorg of our sales team, and oh did I mention we were acquired. For the first time in my sales career, I am not making my sales goals. Help, what am I doing wrong?”   Book: This Is Marketing by Seth Godin  

Guest: Melissa Palmer   Guest Bio: Melissa started her sales career by accident, but quickly learned. She enjoyed connecting a customer with a solution and helping solve their problems and protect their interests. She is very good at building lasting relationships because her intention is always honest. She soon learned the best way to truly protect the customer is to also protect the company she represents; there has to be a win-win scenario, or no one wins in the long run. In management, she can do the greatest good as she works with the sales team to do just that, focusing on creating winning solutions for all. Melissa is also very energetic about what she does, and that energy is contagious.   Key Points: Career Journey into Sales & Manufacturing Melissa began working in manufacturing while studying elementary education, after passing a tape measure test at a temp agency. She started on the shop floor, moved into office roles, then customer service, sales, management, and technical roles. Melissa wanted a fresh start in sales after over 20 years at her first company, where she was often the "fixer." Within six months, she was promoted to Sales Manager due to her proactive ideas and contributions.   Sales Team Development at LS Industries Melissa feels her biggest win is unified messaging—the entire sales team aligned in language, story, and mission. She took advantage of team turnover to rebuild with aligned, enthusiastic hires. There is strong support from leadership (including the owner) who models the company's values. Focus on educating the team on purpose, customer-centric values, and collective goals.   Sales Philosophy & Leadership Set clear expectations for customers, build trust, and prevent miscommunication. As a sales manager, Melissa retrains and coaches. Leads by example (e.g., joining calls to demonstrate customer communication). Shows the real-time impact of proper communication. Success in sales depends on trust, not just rapport. Repeat business comes from being dependable.   Sales Challenges Pain points: Reps either say “no” too fast or say “yes” too easily without assessing feasibility and avoiding hard conversations with customers (especially around timelines or product complexity). Melissa's coaching approach is to educate on the long-term impact of honesty and setting realistic expectations, and emphasize quality and ROI over speed when needed.   Team Composition & Structure Melissa's current team consists of 12 people, including international, e-commerce, parts, and general sales. She describes her team as mostly “hunters” (actively seeking new business). The “Farmers” exist mainly on the parts team (inbound calls, upselling).   Talent Development Melissa has successfully transitioned shop floor workers into top-performing sales reps based on drive and hustle. People who are eager to grow and win tend to excel, even with little formal experience.   CRM Adoption & Usage The biggest challenge is getting reps to consistently use the CRM. Melissa was initially skeptical, but now sees it as essential for success, organization, and maintaining relationships.  Her approach is to minimize complexity—track only essential data, use automation (autosave communications, recurring tasks), regular reminders, training, and reinforcement, and “Trust but verify” through reporting and light oversight—not micromanagement.   Key Sales Leadership Insights Missing documentation in CRM can cost deals. Frequent retraining, reinforcement, and modeling behavior help build habits. Being transparent and reliable is more effective than always being agreeable.   Guest Links: (316) 670-6283 mpalmer@lsindustries.com www.lsindustries.com  www.winonavannorman.com  Connect on LinkedIn Connect on Facebook        About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

Responding to a Request for Proposal (RFP) can be a powerful way to win new business—but only if it's the right opportunity. RFPs often demand considerable time, resources, and cross-functional coordination, so blindly responding to every one can lead to wasted effort, low win rates, and team burnout.

Guest: Ben Filkouski   Guest Bio: ​Ben graduated from the University of Wisconsin – Madison in 2018. Upon graduating, Ben worked for Goldleaf Development, a Multi-Family Developer in Dane County, where he obtained his Real Estate License. In September of 2019, Ben joined Madison Commercial Real Estate. Since joining Madison Commercial Real Estate, Ben has become a Partner with the firm, obtained his Real Estate Brokers License, and earned his CCIM (Certified Commercial Investment Member) designation.  Ben currently serves on the board of Commercial Brokers Group Inc. (CBG) a CRE Organization based out of Madison, WI. CBG recognizes top deals completed annually, and Ben has won Land Deal of the Year in 2021 & Overall Deal of the Year in 2021, Industrial Deal of the Year in 2022, and Land Deal of the Year in 2024. Ben is also an active member in the Commercial Association of Realtors Wisconsin (CARW) where he was formerly on the NextGen Committee and was runner-up for Industrial Deal of the Year for the State of Wisconsin in 2022. Ben is also an active member with Smart Growth Greater Madison, a real estate development lobbying & networking organization.   Key Points: Entry into Real Estate: Ben initially resisted going into real estate despite a family background in it. He became interested after experiencing different aspects like construction, deal-making, and sales. Ben fell in love with real estate during a brokerage role, especially the dynamic nature of the work and helping clients grow.   Unexpected Career Path: Ben originally considered a career in the arts due to a love of creative thinking and writing. He found that creativity and communication are actually essential to being successful in real estate sales.   Natural Networker: Networking comes naturally due to a talkative personality and curiosity about people. Ben enjoys building relationships, whether or not they lead to direct business. He learned the value of strategic networking, focusing on a few meaningful conversations rather than quantity. He uses networking as a way to stay top of mind for real estate opportunities.   Team Growth & Hiring Philosophy: Ben recently grew the team by hiring two new associates. Hiring isn't based solely on experience, personality, drive, and communication skills are more important. Ben looks for self-motivation, competitiveness, and professionalism. He emphasizes the long timeline before new brokers become profitable, so cultural and personal fit is essential.   Screening New Hires: Ben created a detailed training portal designed to take 50–60 hours. He doesn't tell new hires how long it should take—completion speed reveals attention to detail and commitment. He uses early performance during training as a key indicator of long-term potential.   Managing Associates: One challenge is frequent interruptions that break focus. Ben implements short, scheduled check-ins (10–15 minutes) instead of ad hoc questions. This structure improves efficiency for both managers and associates. Ben believes some level of independence should be expected after the initial learning phase.   Culture and Success Metrics: Culture encourages brokers to “live the lifestyle”—be self-driven, schedule smartly, and network. The firm has seen improved success rates and retention since implementing more structured onboarding and evaluation systems.     Guest Links: Connect on LinkedIn Connect on Instagram https://madisoncommercialre       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

Your Beliefs Determine Your Success episode It's ok to say noHow to Win Friends and Influence PeopleFree Magic Words for Prospecting audios Master the Four Core Skills 

How many times do you actually attempt to reach out to a prospect before you give up? On the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jessica Stokes calls out a common sales reality when prospecting: “We all know the average salesperson typically stops after three, maybe four attempts before moving on. We assume they're not interested. We want to find a juicier lead.” This common behavior defines The 3-Call Fallacy—the flawed belief that if someone doesn't respond after a few tries, they're not interested. It's where you probably tap out and tell yourself you've done enough. You haven't. Persistence is key.  Why Salespeople Quit Prospecting Too Early The premature retreat from prospecting isn't about laziness; it's rooted in fundamental misconceptions and fear. The Fear of Being Annoying The most common excuse? “I don't want to be a pest.”  You leave a voicemail, send an email, maybe try LinkedIn, and then you back off. You tell yourself you're giving them space. But your prospect doesn't remember you. When you're looking at your CRM thinking, "This is my sixth attempt—I'm going to tick this guy off," your prospect likely has no idea who you are. To them, today's call feels like the first time you've reached out. The Momentum Killer Spacing out your touchpoints destroys any traction you might have built. Waiting a week—or worse, a month—between messages forces you to restart every time. That familiar name? Forgotten. That compelling message? Gone. Momentum is built with consistency. Familiarity breeds trust, but only if you stay in front of them long enough to become familiar. The 4 Steps of Building a Fanatical Prospecting Sequence The fix? Being fanatical about sequencing.  It's about consistent, well-timed, multi-channel outreach that keeps your message fresh and front of mind. Stay Consistent: Don't let more than a few days pass between touchpoints. Regular rhythm creates recall. Think of it like a steady drumbeat—not a one-time boom. Use Multiple Channels: Your prospect may ignore emails but answer LinkedIn. Or they may screen unknown numbers but reply to a personalized video. Use all the tools available: Phone calls Emails LinkedIn messages Video messages Direct mail (for high-value prospects) Track Your True Attempt Rate: Most reps overestimate their persistence. Implement a rigorous tracking system, whether in your CRM or a simple spreadsheet, to log every single touchpoint. Reframe Your Mindset: You're not bothering people—you're offering help. If you believe in your product and know it can solve their problems, persistent outreach is a service, not a nuisance. The Prospecting Challenge Ready to put this into action? Take 20-50 leads and run a sequence over the next 30-45 days. Make contact attempts every few days using multiple channels. Track your progress. You'll likely discover: Responses after 8, 10, even 12 attempts. Prospects saying things like "I'm glad you reached out again" or "I was thinking about calling you back." Booked appointments you never would have gotten with the traditional 3-call approach. 3 Common Personal Objections (And Why They're Wrong) This is where self-sabotage shows up. Let's break down the common excuses: "I don't want to be annoying." Your prospect deleted your voicemail in 10 seconds. They're not sitting there with a map of all your attempts, getting angrier with each one. "If they were interested, they would have called back." People are busy. Interest doesn't always translate to immediate action.  "I need to focus on warmer leads." Every lead starts cold. The difference between a cold lead and a warm lead is often just consistent, value-driven follow-up. You make them warm. The Discipline Factor: Every Attempt Counts Just like you can't run a 10K after one day of training, you can't expect immediate results from prospecting. It's a cumulative effort that builds momentum over time.

Have you ever been torn between jumping into action or holding back to wait for the perfect moment?  Today we explore the tension between taking immediate action and practicing delayed gratification. Can you really do both—and should you? You don't have to wait another moment as Bill, and I pause to discuss Start or Wait… What Should I Do? and other sublime statistics on Episode 676 of the Winning at Selling Podcast.

In this episode of the Infinitely Scalable podcast, Chaffey and hosts Tony Ronchi, Cary Hair, and Andrew Charlesworth dig into the opportunities and challenges facing CrossFit today — and what he'd do if he were at the helm.“I think everything should be at the service of the community and of the affiliates,” Chaffey says.“I think the short-term V.C. private equity approach is, by its definition, at odds with building a long-term community.”--CHAPTERS0:00 Agenda and doing the right thing.2:47 America vs Europe: Commercialism, sales, and health.8:39 The value of affiliates in today's world.12:01 Prospecting — and actually talking about what you do in your affiliate.25:30 If Chaffey were in charge: Open kickbacks, affiliate pricing, and the problem with private equity.33:50 Re-envisioning CrossFit HQ and education. 36:46 Merging the Games and the community. 43:31 Being unapologetic — but not afraid of criticism.46:27 The power of a common enemy.49:57 Playing infinite games for people vs. finite games for shareholders.58:57 Getting back to being the world's greatest training methodology.1:01:50 A conduit for affiliate owners to grow their wealth.1:08:38 How do we rebuild trust? 1:17:23 The best way forward.--https://www.instagram.com/dc1andonly/?hl=en--Infinitely Scalable Podcast: Helping entrepreneurs, creatives, and humans everywhere find freedom.

Air Date - 09 July 2025Join Inspired Living Host Marc Lainhart – The Intuitive Prospector™ this “Wisdom Wednesday” as we welcome to the show for the first time, Ms. Rev. Venus Castleberg to discuss the hidden dangers of mucked-up home energy and a detailed interview and a guide to move old and stagnant energy away from the home and new energetic beginnings “I've always lived between two worlds. One part of me is deeply pragmatic—organized, grounded, with a head for business. I've run a construction company, an insurance agency, and founded Psychic University. But the other part of me is something less tangible… the part that can walk into a space and feel what's off, what's stuck, and what's ready to move. After decades of doing this work, I've seen time and again that, yes, the physical work matters… but so does the energy. That's why I believe in both—fix the roof and clear the field. What I love most: helping good homes find the people they're meant for—creating more harmony for families, communities, and the land itself.”JOIN US for another inspiring, educational, healing, and transformative show! Let us go “PROSPECTING!”#VenusCastleberg #InspiredLiving #MarcLainhart #InterviewsAbout the GuestMs. Venus Castleberg is an energetic clearing specialist, intuitive guide, ordained minister, and spiritual awakening coach with over 25 years of experience working with the unseen. After a life-changing awakening at age 30, where she began sensing energies most others couldn't see, Venus committed to understanding and working with those energies, both within people and the spaces they inhabit. She's explored and practiced more than 20 forms of healing and transformational work, from Reiki and Shamanism to hypnotherapy and energy clearing.Venus is also the founder of Psychic University and brings a unique blend of spiritual insight and grounded practicality, having once owned and operated a construction company. Today, she brings that blend into the world of real estate, partnering with agents to clear the stuck, strange, or heavy energy that can prevent homes from selling. Through her Vibrational Flow System, she helps properties release old stories and attract the buyers they're truly meant for.

Guest: Matthew Freed   Guest Bio: ​I've spent the last 20 years in sales and sales leadership, and I still find it incredibly rewarding. Most of that time has been in manufacturing and distribution, where I've had the opportunity to lead high-performing teams and work closely with customers. I currently lead a team across the Midwest and am passionate about building lasting culture, driving results, and simplifying the complicated. A big part of my leadership style is helping sellers achieve their goals while supporting them in becoming the best versions of themselves. I believe consistent habits lead to consistent outcomes, and I aim to lead with energy, clarity, and accountability. I enjoy helping people grow in their careers while building meaningful, long-term relationships with customers and colleagues. Outside of work, I still love to compete—whether it's on the basketball court or just a backyard game with friends. Most importantly, I enjoy time with my wife and our two daughters.   Key Points: Career Journey & Sales Background His dad was in sales and eventually owned a business, which influenced him early. Matthew started with cold calling and door-to-door efforts, learning what real sales was versus the perception. Naturally gravitated toward leadership roles on teams; wanted to shift from individual sales to team success. Moved cities and took a risk to lead a sales team at a manufacturing company, eventually growing in responsibility and geography. He was introduced to Millcraft by a supplier contact and joined over 8 years ago; currently leads sales efforts after transitioning from operational responsibilities.   Sales Philosophy & Simplifying Complexity Believes the sales team is his "customers" and supports them by removing obstacles and improving processes. Matthew uses what he calls a "Simplify the Complicated" Approach: · Sales fundamentals (know, like, trust) are still the core, despite evolving technology. · Use data and analytics to validate feelings and drive decisions. · Focus on what matters: simplify systems/processes to let sellers focus on selling.   Challenges in Sales Leadership Reps often react emotionally, inventing stories about prospects. Ask clarifying questions, do a fact-finding mission, and use both data and instinct (e.g., the "sleep on it" approach). Helps reps stay grounded by focusing on facts and controllables rather than assumptions.   CRM/ERP Adoption Success Successfully implemented a new ERP system that includes a CRM. Tailored the system to serve salespeople and their customers. Positioned CRM is used as a way to better serve customers and make smarter decisions. Gained buy-in by connecting usage to outcomes (e.g., customer satisfaction). Has most of his team (12 people) consistently using the CRM.   Team Composition & Hiring A mix of new and long-tenured reps (some with 30–40+ years of experience). Has a team size of 12 sellers. What He Looks for in Hires is resourcefulness, values competitiveness, entrepreneurial spirit, and inquisitiveness. Matthew's screening methods are assignments before interviews, looking for how much effort candidates put into research, a sports background is a strong signal (discipline, competition), and relying heavily on referrals.   Team Wins & New Business Growth - 150+ New Accounts Opened Focused efforts in specific industry segments (e.g., beverage, signage, apparel, nonprofits). Leverages repeatable success models: if one nonprofit buys certain items, others likely will too. Emphasizes selling similar things to similar customers vs. reinventing every sale. Segment-focused selling allows for scalable, repeatable growth strategies.   Leadership Style & Values Clearly outlines what reps should expect from him and vice versa. Believes in accountability, honesty, and mutual respect. Sees his role as equipping and clearing the path for his team's success. Encourages feedback and builds relationships rooted in trust.     Guest Links: Connect on LinkedIn       About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

Tune into our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure and Aged Expired niches!In today's episode of the All The Leads Mastermind podcast, the focus was on helping new and seasoned agents navigate the probate process with confidence by providing value-first outreach and building long-term rapport. Bruce broke down how to identify real estate opportunities in probate data and why leading with service, rather than jumping straight to listing conversations, builds better conversion rates over time. He walked through how to approach calls with empathy, position yourself as a local probate expert, and transition naturally into real estate discussions. Robert and Corey asked key questions around list segmentation, working older leads, and whether to contact attorneys which sparked a broader conversation on how to prioritize outreach and tailor your message. The panel emphasized layering phone calls with direct mail and a strong online presence, recommending that letters go out first to warm up future conversations. For newer members, the group shared tips on reading lead data, setting mail cadence, and building credibility from day one. The episode wrapped with a deep dive into marketing strategy, including using probate-focused websites, retargeting, and long-tail keywords to drive traffic. Coaches also discussed offering services like cleanouts, locksmiths, and probate advances to distinguish yourself as a true concierge and not just another agent. Whether you're just getting started or scaling up, the key message was clear: bring real value, play the long game, and let trust lead the way to consistent deals.

We've talked a lot about Account-Based Prospecting lately from the perspective of recruiters — but what about the candidate side of things? Today, Sam and Vivien discuss the importance of understanding the candidate market, building relationships, and employing creative outreach strategies to enhance the recruitment process. One major thing they touch on? The need for recruiters to leverage insights from both candidates and hiring managers to bridge gaps and improve the overall candidate experience. Building trust (through long-game relationship-building and personal branding) is another critical component. Just like it helps when building credibility with potential business prospects, the same goes for the candidate-side, as well. Chapters:00:00 - The other side of account-based prospecting: The candidate experience03:03 - The secret to increasing your candidate placement rate08:08 - The art of building trust and authority with top candidates14:50 - How to leverage your candidate pipeline for business development18:00 - Unlocking actionable insights from your hiring managersExplore all our episodes and catch the full video experience at loxo.co/podcastBecoming a Hiring Machine is brought to you by Loxo.

Guest: Nick Sowards   Guest Bio: ​Started cleaning machines in California at 18 years old at my grandfather's company. Graduated into selling machines at 19, then left his company at 20 to sell new machines. Left California in 2004 and joined Absolute Machine Tools, selling their imported brands. In 2015, became GM for Absolute, running their Chicago facility. 2017 needed a change in my life and left Absolute with joining Ellison Technologies in December 17, and the ride has been great thus far! I'm a sales manager for NE Ohio and a territory manager for Lake and 1/2 of Cuyahoga County. I was honored to have been the #1 salesman in Ellison for GP and units for 2023, with also getting salesperson of the year awards. Been in the top 5-10 ever since I started with Ellison in 2017. We have a great team in Ohio, so that helps!   Key Points: Early Influences and Entry into Sales · Grandfather's machine shop played a formative role. He started by cleaning machines as a kid to earn money for things his family couldn't afford. · Originally planned to become an FBI agent, but his mother recognized his strong communication skills and encouraged sales. · A pivotal moment came when he accidentally made a $10,000 sale, earned $200 commission, and realized sales were more rewarding than cleaning machines.   Motivation and Personal Drive · Grew up poor, became a young father, and was driven by the desire to support his family, including allowing his wife to stay home. · Has seven daughters, now expecting three grandchildren, further reinforcing his motivation to succeed financially and professionally.   Leadership and Management Style · Leads a tight-knit sales team of three, focusing on trust, open communication, and family-like support. Believes success is shared: if his team does well, he does well. · Encourages open access; his team can call him anytime, for work or personal matters.   Hiring Philosophy · Looks for motivation (expensive hobbies, family responsibilities) and coachability. · Avoids hiring “negative” people; prioritizes positive, adaptable personalities. · Uses personality assessments and informal settings (like lunch) to gauge candidates more authentically. Watches for signs of intrinsic drive, not just skill.   Building Trust with New Hires · Leads by example: gave a full commission on a deal made the day before a new rep joined, demonstrating generosity and fairness. · Builds trust through action, not just words, follows through, supports his team, and solves problems directly or connects them with the right resources.   Sales Philosophy · Be honest and transparent: admit when you don't know something, but always get the correct answers. · Never be a “yes man”, integrity builds long-term relationships. · Success is based on persistence, teamwork, and customer focus.   Guest Links: Cell: 216-347-9566 Email: nsowards@ellisontechnologies.com Connect on LinkedIn     About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.

Send us a textIn this essential episode of "The Selling Podcast," your hosts Mike and Scott tackle a critical yet often mishandled aspect of sales: the framework of effective follow-up.

This week, we break down how to master your follow-up strategy to keep deals alive and ultimately, close more sales.We dive into three common pitfalls and how to avoid them, ensuring your follow-up is always impactful and professional:Don't Act Overly Grateful or Apologetic: We discuss why expressing excessive gratitude or apologies in your follow-up can inadvertently undermine your position and value. Mike and Scott explain how to convey appreciation and professionalism without appearing desperate or weak, maintaining a strong, confident posture that reflects your expertise.Don't Go Into Sales Mode Too Fast: The biggest mistake? Immediately launching into another pitch. We emphasize the importance of pacing your follow-up. Learn how to nurture the relationship, provide value, and build continued rapport before pushing for the next step or reiterating your offering. This approach keeps the conversation relational and prevents you from becoming just another sales rep.Keep It Relational: At its core, effective follow-up is about building and maintaining a genuine connection. Mike and Scott share tactics for keeping your communication human, relevant, and focused on the prospect's needs and context, rather than just your agenda. Discover how to provide helpful insights, share relevant content, or simply check in thoughtfully to demonstrate ongoing value and interest.This episode provides a clear, actionable framework for sales professionals to refine their follow-up techniques, ensuring every touchpoint builds momentum, reinforces value, and moves the sales process forward with grace and effectiveness.Scott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

Today, our first guest for the week, Garrett Bowers of Bowers Trucking, explains the significance of face-to-face networking and its role in building relationships within the transportation industry! Garrett highlights how crucial it is to create a personal connection with potential clients, build systems for business development, prospect consistently, enhance transparency, and operate teams efficiently for scalability and profitability!   About Garrett Bowers Born and raised in Ponca City, Garrett is a proud alumni of PO-HI where he played football, wrestled, and was highly involved in 4H and FFA. Garrett earned a scholarship to attend Northeastern Oklahoma A&M College for livestock judging and his success there led to scholarship opportunities to join the Oklahoma State University judging team. At OSU, Garrett served as a Senator for the College of Agriculture. His livestock judging team members won several national contests including the coveted national collegiate championship in 2006. He graduated OSU with a bachelor's degree in May of 2007. Although Garrett grew up working alongside his father, Ranond, and grandfather, Glen (who was the founder of Bowers Trucking) – he was no stranger to entrepreneurial ventures. Before the age of 10, he had as many as 20 bottle-fed calves and even sold watermelon and corn in front of the truck yard alongside Highway 60. Later on, at age 16 he started his own custom hay business, which earned him the National FFA Degree recognition in 2004. When Garrett joined the family business after graduation in 2007, Bowers Trucking operated a dozen trucks within a 150-mile radius concentrated on end dump, aggregate, and construction material hauling. By 2010, Garrett diversified operations by redirecting focus to service the vast manufacturing industries located in Ponca City. By 2013, Bowers Trucking was operating in all 48 states and expanded into Canada and Mexico. Increased customer demand ultimately led to Garrett starting his own logistics company to help coordinate customer overflow. In 2016, Bowers Logistics was formed and the first agent was hired to meet the growing customer base with partner trucking companies looking for freight. By 2018, Bowers Trucking and Bowers Logistics became Department of Defense certified – the first trucking company based in Oklahoma to do so.
