In this episode, Mike and Jody discuss project management and what it has to do with Sales Skills. Questions Answered: What does project management have to do with Sales Skills? How do you break project management down? How does it change if we are a small organization? What are the elements of project management? Key Takeaways: Planning - can I put together a plan that will help me execute? Assess risks, identify gaps. Resources - what resources are required? Accountability Interactions that we have with our customers - managing an account Deals that we have with customers - opportunities we might be working on. Objectives - ex: putting together a plan to execute on Q1 objectives Someone needs to be responsible for managing these aspects Be deliberate about the focus of the project at any given time If you are a smaller organization, you can use project management to identify gaps where you may want to lean on others. Freelancers can be a good option for smaller organizations Many small organizations utilize tools such as Trello boards or individual blocks of data on a spreadsheet or in a calendar. Elements involved in project management: Planning Resource Identification - people, time, money, things (tech, etc..) Time table for execution Associate each task in the plan to the resources you have available. This helps to identify risk. Don’t overcomplicate it! Use project management concepts as a way to create clarity and focus. This episode was brought to you by: The Catalyst Sale G.A.M.E.

Learn how to overcome your deepest fears, find happiness, and achieve your dream career and lifestyle with Mike Corey, Host of The BBC Travel Show and YouTube’s Fearless and Far.    Five years ago, Mike made the decision to quit his safe and secure (but boring) job to pursue his dream of making travel videos. His choice paid off and now he’s here to share how he did it so you can, too.    In this episode of Badass Digital Nomads, Mike and Kristin break down the mindset shifts required to overcome the different fears holding you back from pursuing a lifestyle beyond the mainstream. They also speak on the challenges of full-time travel, especially during COVID, and discuss why the world’s most dangerous countries are actually much safer than you’d think!    At the end of the interview, Kristin asks Mike two questions he's never been asked on a podcast before. Then, he shares his candid thoughts on travel versus luxury tourism, the best off-the-radar countries he’s been to in the world (out of 80+ countries), and few times that he truly felt his life was in danger while traveling (like that one time, at a Mexican fireworks festival...)    If you’re determined to overcome what's been holding you back,  uncover the best version of yourself, and get a major dose of travel inspiration, buckle in for the ride and let's do this!   (Warning: Explicit Content)   "The cave you fear to enter hides the treasure that you seek." - Joseph Campbell   TOPICS DISCUSSED/WHAT YOU’LL LEARN: The quickest way to get un-stuck in life. Why looking dumb is the first step at being badass at something. How to boost your serotonin by doing hard things.  Where Mike traveled during the pandemic and the differences he noticed in those countries compared to before.  How COVID and masks have changed how people communicate through travel.  The harmful effects of fear and the news/mainstream media on society and our collective consciousness. How Mike chooses which countries to go to and what to do there. Why he buried himself in the sand for 24 hours in the Philippines. Mike’s experience exploring body suspension. How to shift your mindset and embrace your fears to achieve immense growth. Advice for people who want to quit their safe and secure job to pursue something riskier. The power of “f*ck you money”. Why Mike dislikes high-end, luxury travel. The true impact humans have on our planet and the small things we can do to help save it. The difficulties and negative aspects of traveling full-time. Mike’s experience at the Bulls of Fire Fireworks Festival in Mexico. The most underrated and safest countries to travel to.

In this episode, Mike talks to Liston Witherill. Liston is the Author of Serve Don’t Sell, the Chief of Sales Insights at Serve Don’t Sell and is the host of The Modern Sales Podcast.  Questions Answered: What is the connection between environmental science and sales? Why do sales folks struggle with systems thinking concepts? Do you believe people struggle with practice? Why is it important to discuss ethics in sales? What challenges our ethics when it comes to sales? How can we create better alignment between business and personal ethics? Key Takeaways: Environmental Science and Sales both need systems thinking What are the variables and factors that influence how the system works? How can we picture our business as a system that has inputs and outputs? The only way to make sales a science is to have really large data points and the reality is, that is tough to get. We can apply the scientific method to sales - hypothesis, test, ask questions, isolate for certain variables. Science is about finding cause and effect. You must have a methodical approach and some repetition. People don’t know how or what to practice or what practice would even look like. Not having a process contributes to how a discovery call goes. Write out questions. The value of practice is it frees you up to be in the moment to ask really good follow-up questions. If you don’t have your team present in the same way, there is no way to optimize the process. We can’t pinpoint what causes success or failure when there is too much variability. It is important to sell ethically if you want to sustain being effective at sales and live in a way that is compatible with your values. It is important because the bottom line is, it is the right thing to do. Serve Don’t Sell - sometimes it means to give advice that’s counter to my own personal incentive. We need to understand what our boundaries are and then we need to honor them once we have reached them. Challenges to ethics - loss aversion, mindset and faith. If you have a bigger pipeline and you have more financial security, then it’s going to be a lot easier to honor your ethics. Have a clear understanding of what values your company has that you don’t want to honor. What you have control over always is your behavior.

In this episode, Mike talks to George Randle, Managing Partner at EF Overwatch and Co-Author of Talent War. Questions Answered: What inspired the book? Why do we fall into the trap of thinking industry experience is critical? Why do HR professionals struggle with pushing back? What is effective intelligence? What is resilience? What is Hire for Character, Train for Skill? Key Takeaways: Drive home the point that it is critical to have people with the 9 character attributes we talk about in the book. Look at your company through the lens of talent. If we know the problem we solve for, we have much more context for the role we are trying to fill. How many leaders actually know what is making someone successful? Effective Intelligence - a person’s ability to apply their knowledge to real world scenarios. Resilience - the ability to get back up and keep going after a failure. B and C level players don’t have the ability to see A level players. A level players have team ability Character attributes are more predictive of success than previous experience or skills Show Links:  George Randle on LinkedIn Talent War EF Overwatch EF Overwatch on LinkedIn Work With Catalyst Sale: Listen to our free resource (this podcast) and then put the action items into practice.

In this episode, Mike and Jody discuss how to be in Sales without being salesy.  Questions Answered: What advice do you have to help folks avoid being "Salesy"? Key Takeaways: When people think of “salesy” they think used car salesman or door to door sales people and they don’t want to be that because they don’t feel comfortable with that approach. You have to believe in the product you are selling. Even more important, you have to believe in the problem you are solving for. You can be more empathic to the customer if you believe in the problem you are solving for. Ask questions and then take a genuine interest in the response. If you don’t want to have that kind of conversation, pause, think about it more and come up with a different approach. Sales is not about convincing people of things, it’s about compelling folks to take action.

In this episode, Mike talks with Tanner Brock about his continued onboarding experience with Catalyst Sale.  This is the third round of this series.  Check out episodes 212 and 215, if you missed the first two sessions. Questions Answered: What’s not working? What are some of the things we will test regarding follow-up? What are some common challenges? What are some things we are going to start? Key Takeaways: Spraying and praying approach is not working. Squinting too much to fit people in. Go back and use frameworks to readjust. Focus more on people, not numbers. We may know what we should do, but that doesn’t necessarily translate into what we do. Stop creating unrealistic plans for the day. Create a combo of sequences to use with various prospects. Personalize the sequence to the people. Try to add value every time you reach out. Common challenges: deals stall, pipeline development, articulating what we do, confidence. Focus on and celebrate the little things. If you go into it positive, you have higher energy, you’re more effective, you’re more useful to people. Establish gates you want to move through and celebrate as you go through the gates. What qualifies as a win can be a challenge. Make sure you are doing the basics. Follow-up is important. Each success opens another gate. Work With Catalyst Sale: Listen to our free resource (this podcast) and then put the action items into practice.

In this episode, Mike talks with Tanner Brock about his continued onboarding experience with Catalyst Sale.  Questions Answered: What has been the worst thing that has happened so far? How are you overcoming this issue? Why might our outreach number be lower than we expect? What’s next? Do we apply call planning in the context of outreach? How do we measure success? Key Takeaways: Adjustment into an official sales role has been the hardest so far. Rather than trying to be an expert, I am going to be a student. Listening to previous podcasts you have done has been helpful and studying the frameworks. It is important to be humble to understand why it isn’t working. There is a big lack of vulnerability in the marketplace. We need to ask if we have a problem with our ideal customer profile and ask if our message is clear. It can be rewarding to share my experience applying the Catalyst Sale principles in my own life. The only time I want to put together a call plan is when I am going to have a call. Structurally the same concepts apply to outreach we send out. All the Catalyst Sale tools build on each other and help you to think clearly Profit and loss help us measure success.  Gather data to determine if what we are doing is working. Test.

In this episode, Mike and Jody discuss the best ways to handle mistakes when they occur. Questions Answered: What are the best ways to handle mistakes? How can we handle current mistakes? How do you view historical mistakes? Key Takeaways: It is great to share stories about lessons learned. It is important to be transparent and open. We can all learn from each others mistakes and learn from the stories that relate to those mistakes. If you are unable to fix or address the mistake on your own, it is important to get other people involved as quickly as possible. Don’t make a mistake bigger than it already is. Reach out to others. If you can fix it immediately, fix it! Depends on the scope of the mistake, the type of mistake and your capability to fix it. Owning mistakes can help build a greater level of credibility and trust. People can learn lessons from you when you share historical mistakes.

In this episode, Mike and Jody discuss the importance of a good first customer interaction and discovery call/meeting. Questions Answered: What should the first customer interaction look like? What is involved in discovery? Why do you want to find out more about the person? How does knowing the person better help you with the sale you are trying to make? What else do we need to know about the first interaction? Key Takeaways: Ask questions. Do research - can be from public or private sources (asking questions.) Deliver the information you have in the context of what is important to the customer It’s important to know the person because they are going to either influence or make the decision. Asking questions and getting to know them helps them realize I am a human being and not someone just trying to sell something. Asking if they have any questions for you will let you know how engaged they are in the conversation. You can refer back to what these first questions revealed in future discussions. Builds a personal relationship.

In this episode, Mike and Amanda Goetz have a great conversation about intention, focus, lessons learned in building a business, joining a business and starting over. Amanda is the VP of Marketing at The Knot and Founder of a new side gig.  Questions Answered: What drove you to start building out a side business? How do you keep things straight? How did you start to get comfortable with saying no to things? What compelled you to go out and raise money this time? How do you say no to people? How do you deal with the pain, conflict and challenges? Why do we struggle with transparency? What does community mean to you? How do we overcome not wanting to be self-promotional? Key Takeaways: Ask everyday, how am I going to approach this day and what does success look like Don’t believe in “mommy guilt” Whatever I am doing in this moment gets my full attention. Focus and Finish Your defense is your email. Not every email needs an immediate response. Your offense is when you are in control of what you are doing. In the absence of information, people spin and they ask a lot of questions. I believe in pro-active communication. When people don’t have a true North Star, that’s when you get unnecessary emails. Experience is the best teacher. You have to do applications of these things. When it comes to saying no to business relationships, I think a lot about where it needs to start and it needs to start with knowing yourself. It’s ok to acknowledge highs and lows and talk about those openly. Someone has to be brave enough to go first. This creates a foundation of trust and further vulnerability. Community means to me people who found connection through usually highs or lows. Brands that try to be everything to everyone end up being nothing to anyone. Self-promotion is very different than stating your thoughts. Put your thoughts into the world. You have to bet on yourself before other people will.  Show Links:  Amanda on Twitter Work With Catalyst Sale: Listen to our free resource (this podcast) and then put the action items into practice.

How do you create a great proposal? In this episode, Mike and Jody discuss best practices when it comes to proposal planning. Questions Answered: What goes into a proposal? Where does price go? What are some mistakes people make with proposals? Key Takeaways: One of the challenges people will make when coming to proposal writing is they feel like they have to put everything in there. I would challenge you to think of it as less is more. Elements of a proposal: problem we are solving for, why is it important to solve the problem, how do we solve the problem, price If we can cover all four of these things, we have given them a solid framework that they can use to justify a purchase. Proposal should be simple to understand and very clear. My preference is to deliver price as early as possible as late as necessary. At minimum on the first page so they don’t have to flip pages or scroll down. Don’t tell your organization’s entire story up front We tend to overcomplicate and make them too long. Another mistake is finding a proposal that works and then everyone on the team uses it.  Show Links: Planning Templates Work With Catalyst Sale: Listen to our free resource (this podcast) and then put the action items into practice.

In this episode, Mike and Jody discuss a listener question related to adopting the Challenger Sales Method. Listener Question: My organization is adopting the Challenger Sales Method. I am curious on your thoughts on Challenger and training the team on the same process.  Questions Answered: What is the benefit of training a sales team all on the same process/method? What do you think about the Challenger Method? What’s the difference between process and method? How do you recommend pairing process with method? Do you recommend the Challenger Method? How do you suggest I model a new sales process when I am not a seller? Key Takeaways: Having a common language across the organization is very beneficial The Challenger Method offers the fundamentals you would expect. I would not describe the Challenger Method as a Sales Process. When implementing something new, it is important to be very clear about what you are trying to accomplish. Process = distinct set of steps Method = vehicle you use to get there, underlying principles Blending the Catalyst Sale combo of process, method, framework and approach, you create predictable sales outcomes and improved performance.  Keep with a consistent message Remember that change takes time Promote early adopters and recruit them to help you get others on board.

On this episode, Mike is joined by Chris Ronzio. Chris is the Founder and CEO of Trainual. They discuss entrepreneurship, company culture and growing your business.  Questions Answered: What are the different stages of being an entrepreneur? Why is there a negative connotation to being self-employed? How can we improve communication with peers? How can we create a company culture with a remote staff? How can we scale our business? Why do we struggle with scaling? How do you create focus? Key Takeaways: Investing in experiences for your team gives them trust that they can communicate with each other. Quarterly Planning retreats, monthly outings, etc...set the foundation for communication following the interactions. It is crucial to have an open line of communication. Physical events, meeting together is very important to maintain a strong culture with a remote staff. Do It, Document It, Delegate It®. This is how you clone yourself. It sounds simple, but you need to follow the process for everything in your business. Delegation is hard, especially with things you are good at or enjoy. It is important to stop doing the things you are good at and stretch yourself. It is easier than ever to start a business because of all the tools that exist. It is harder than ever to scale because it is hard to hand off stuff. 90 challenges (both personally and professionally) help to stay focused. Annual planning and then checking in quarterly and monthly helps with focus.

Download your free ghostwriting ebook at www.ghostwriterschool.com/ebook. Join the free Ghostwriter Growth Facebook Group at www.facebook.com/groups/ghostwritergrowth. Questions Answered: What if I have no experience? What should I do to practice? How do I stay motivated? How do you go about selecting appropriate clients to work with? I think I know the answer to this question before I ask it, but I thought I'd try anyway. During the webinar, I remember hearing that finding clients begins through word of mouth and striking conversations in places like Facebook groups or gatherings. So my question is, would it be proper to just ask, "Is anyone looking for a ghostwriter?" Can you guarantee that those who take your course can make at least $16,000 in 3 months, provided they work hard?

Questions Answered: What is your favorite Bible verse that you live by?  What book has had the greatest impact on your understanding of leadership? I trust God, but I still have this creeping anxiety concerning my family, my job, our town during this time. What are some practical ways we can keep our flesh calm in the storm? Describe your calling to the ministry and why you think you are called? What is your all time favorite worship song? My question is on helping your fellow brethren in this time keep the faith that the Lord will still keep providing? I have people I visit via social media and phone. And regardless of what I say about having faith in the Lord, it's as if what I say is bouncing off them sometimes. I use Daniel as a reference as well. He was in the middle of the Lions and his faith did not waiver. But for some, it's not enough. I trust my God will deliver us from this. As he has from many things. How do I know God is speaking to me?  How often should the Lord’s Supper / Communion be observed?  How do I /can I know God’s will? What is God’s will for our lives?

Engaging in conversations and having those conversations help you to gain a new perspective on how others are addressing those same challenges. Masterminds are another way to open your eyes to another point of view and to help point out blindspots.  It’s good to have someone who isn’t invested in you or your business ask the hard questions. It’s crucial to talk about what attending the event meant afterwards and then do the work.  Show Links: www.dancockerell.com Dan’s Podcast - Come Rain or Shine Catalyst Sale Link Tree Mike's tweets as he reflected & put the work into practice Thank You  Please send listener questions and feedback to hello@catalystsale.com or contact us directly on twitter, facebook or LinkedIn.

What exactly is the Serenbe Institute for Art, Culture and the Environment and why did Steve Nygren start it? As a restaurateur, Steve Nygren owned multiple locations and had a home in Midtown Atlanta, the city’s arts center. He saw firsthand the importance of supporting the arts and how it can strengthen and build healthy communities. Serving on multiple boards he came to realize how arts organizations continually struggle to receive sufficient funding even when the broader community and foundations do provide support. So when Steve decided to build a community from scratch, he knew arts would be an integral part of Serenbe and wanted to build in a permanent source of funding that would give an organization a financial springboard; so he created a stand alone non-profit organization, the Serenbe Institute for Art, Culture and the Environment. Built into the organization is a 1% transfer fee on every house sold or resold in Serenbe, and 3% fee for every piece of undeveloped land sold; since its inception, Serenbe has contributed over $4 million in funding to the Institute.Once all the legal details were in place the next step was finding someone to run it. John Graham became that person, starting as a consultant for the Institute and after becoming enamored with the community he decided to stay and became the Institute’s founding Executive Director. The first arts program, AIR Serenbe, an artist-in-residence program, kicked off the Institute, with big plans to fund a pottery studio. There was early success with the residency but no permanent home, artists stayed in resident’s extra bedrooms or garage apartments. Since then Serenbe partnered with Auburn University’s design build architecture program, Rural Studio, to build two dedicated artist cottages on the Art Farm at Serenbe. Then in 2009 Brian Clowdus showed up suggesting Serenbe needed a theatre. The Institute granted him a start-up budget of $40,000, and Serenbe Playhouse was born. Now 10 years later, it is a nationally-recognized outdoor theatre producing six site-specific productions, musicals and plays each year. Since then, the Institute has grown, introducing Terminus Modern Ballet Theatre in 2017, a Serenbe Fellows program, Serenbe Film with more units and programming that bring all forms of art and environment programming to the community and visitors from around the globe.Questions Answered:What is the Serenbe Institute for Art, Culture & the Environment?Why was it important for Steve Nygren to honor the arts in a specific way at Serenbe?How do Serenbe residents support the Serenbe Institute?How did Steve Nygren get the idea to use transfer fees as a permanent source for arts funding at Serenbe?What was the first arts program in Serenbe?How did former Atlanta Ballet principals end up creating a company under the Serenbe Institute?

Steve believes his restaurants were one of the first to turn retail centers to places to be because of the hospitality and food. His first Atlanta restaurant was on Peachtree Street, which in the mid-70's had been nearly abandoned, and his second was in Phipps Plaza, which was emptying of retail. Within 6 months of the restaurant opening, every retail space was leased. They were creating places through hospitality, and Steve knew when building Serenbe that they needed to have a place for people to gather around food. That first place was the Blue Eyed Daisy Bakeshop.Next was the architecture and design. Steve knew those two things could affect the attitude of visitors and potential residents, so he wanted Serenbe's design to reflect the message of what this place represents. We think of charm in architecture as being old buildings, but Steve realized it's really the scale, massing and how they fit together on the street, which could be replicated. He also realized developers had been building neighborhoods thinking of it just as a development, while he was more inspired by small towns. Because of this, Steve wanted Serenbe to have the variety that you would see in a town instead of a cookie-cutter neighborhood. After civil engineers have staked and graded each street, Steve and Phill Tabb walk through with a lot map and determined how far each house will sit from the curb and how tall the house will need to be for the rooflines to flow together. They then organize each transect so the movement from urban to rural atmosphere in Serenbe feels gradual. There are 5 within the first half mile in Serenbe. First you come from natural nature, 20-feet of undisturbed nature, into a place where houses are back in the woods. Then they introduce curbs, crosswalks and streetlights, and the houses start to form an urban wall with those on one side a step down from the hill and the other side a step up from the stream bed. Next you'll see homes with front porches all the same distance from the curb so it makes a more organized line. After that you'll see three-story live works that gradually go to four-stories that have retail, restaurants and residents all mixed together. In fact, the corner of Selborne Lane and Flynn Ridge has a single-family home, attached homes and retail spaces all in one intersection, which even in the most progressive cities is still not allowed because of zoning laws. Steve also wanted to plan the community around foot paths he'd seen in small English villages. Rather than designing to accommodate cars, he wanted it to be more efficient to walk between Serenbe neighborhoods using the trail system. This is why each neighborhood is shaped like an omega, allowing every front door to open to your neighbors and community (with front porches pulled close to the street for ease of communication) and every back door to give you access to nature.Most important, Steve wanted Serenbe to exude the beauty of nature. There are so many small things that people don't think about in their daily lives that add visual and noise pollution, and Steve wanted to remove those. You won't see trash cans and mail boxes along the streets in front of homes. You won't see large front lawns. He was inspired by Ryan Gainey to put houses within a garden of nature rather than design homes around landscaping and lawns.Questions Answered:What is placemaking?How does scale and massing in architecture contribute to the authentic feel of a place?What is a condition sheet?What is a thornbird transect?How does Serenbe differ from typical New Urbanism?Why did Steve Nygren design the streets after omegas?Why does traditional Southern architecture incorporate porches?How do porches in Serenbe encourage community engagement?How can a mail house add to a sense of place?Wher

After Steve Nygren brought small and large land owners in Chattahoochee Hills on board his development plan, it was time to take the project to the state. Three state foundations and a few private citizens had pledged money to invest in the project, and Governor Barnes was ready to push legislation through to allow Chattahoochee Hill Country to change land rights in the region. When Barnes didn't get re-elected, most of these investments disappeared. One person stayed in, and that money was used to buy the first TDRs from two land owners.Questions Answered:What were the steps you had to take to start building?What are development rights?How does a transfer development right work?What is the most photographed place in Serenbe?Why are chainlink fences always around conventional water water treatment facilities?Why should we choose to build in a new way?How is balanced development possible?Why are government departments so siloed?

“Sometimes recovery felt like a choice and other times it felt like a chore, but I knew I had to keep going. I am grateful to my previous self for sticking it out.

"Feeling like I was existing, instead of living, was a call to claim myself. Thank goodness I chose to listen. It wasn't easy. It’s probably the hardest work I'll ever do in my life, but it's the thing that I'm proudest of and it's the thing that I'll defend most fiercely: my right to do what fills my soul." - KristieEpisode 5 features Kristie. Kristie owns the company Recovered Living, who’s mission it is to provide practical online and face-to-face eating disorder recovery support services which are affordable, innovative, and personalized for individual needs.When I asked her what she wanted me to title this podcast, she simply said “Happy and Recovered”.EDNOS (eating disorder not otherwise specified) is the most prevalent eating disorder, and while just as dangerous at all other eating disorders, it's symptoms often span anorexia, bulimia, and binge eating, but do not fully fit the criteria of any in particular.
