Welcome to Win Rate Weekends. Andy highlights a portion of the most recent episode that makes his blood boil. Andy and the panel, Ralph Barsi, VP of Sales at Kahua, Dave Brock, CEO of Partners in Excellence, and David Kreiger, Founder and President of Sales Roads, discuss a common but seriously flawed sales strategy of giving the best leads to top-performing reps. They argue that this approach is shortsighted and ultimately detrimental. Instead, they emphasize coaching and developing all sales reps, holding them accountable, and focusing on creating a sustainable sales system that works over time, not just for immediate results.Listen to the full episode on Apple and SpotifyHost Andy Paul is the expert on modern B2B selling and author of three best-selling, award-winning sales books, including his latest Sell Without Selling Out.

Today we discuss how Sales Development Reps (SDRs) and Account Executives (AEs) should be working together. We dig into Ralph's Rules for Successful SDR/AE Relationships.

Ralph Barsi is the Vice President of Global Inside Sales at tray.io. Is there a reason to keep using quotas if so few sellers actually manage to meet or exceed them? And should you even raise quotas if this is the case? Ralph talks about the possible cases, both positive and negative when managers are given bonuses depending on the performance of their team. He also shares his insights on the connection between onboarding and these issues with quota attainment for individual sellers. HIGHLIGHT QUOTES The notion of a thinking box and decision box - Ralph: "Thinking stops. You've stepped over the threshold, you're now in the decision box and I just know that translates to so many things in life where I know I'm guilty of overthinking, overengineering, and overcomplicating decisions rather than just stepping figuratively in my decision box and executing." Is it advantageous to know about bonuses as a sales manager - Ralph: "One of my number one concerns is the micro-managing of the individual contributors. Because I'm responsible now for every single head versus cohort so now I'm going to be skip-leveling all the time, which is very healthy in many respects. But, there's a lot of leaders out there who'll press on and get in your way and it's not always healthy."

Ralph Barsi is the VP for Global Inside Sales at Tray.io and he joins today's show to discuss Andy's latest book Sell Without Selling Out. The book shows sellers the journey through the buyer's perspective and how to change some salesy behaviors that buyers hate. Andy refers to the value of intentionality in getting buyers closer to a decision and encourages sales leaders to promote creativity and autonomy in their organizations. Andy also discusses the 4 pillars or human skills you need to succeed in sales: connection, curiosity, understanding, and generosity. HIGHLIGHTS Sell Without Selling Out: Be in your buyer's shoes Being intentional increases your odds of success Sales leaders must encourage autonomy and initiative 4 Pillars: Connection, Curiosity, Understanding, and Generosity The difference between good and bad sellers is very small QUOTES Andy: "It requires intentionality to do it well. You have to be intentional about self-assessing. You have to be pragmatic about it. You have to be intentional about every interaction you have with a buyer about what is the value I'm going to provide to them in this interaction is going to help them move closer to making a decision." Andy: "More sales leaders should step up to allow their people this autonomy. In fact, the science is pretty clear that when you give humans more agency over the choices they make, they're going to be more creative and productive and innovative in how they get the job done." Andy: "Two things. One, that works both for you as a seller, right? If you're trying to understand what you're doing as a seller, try to change it. Same applies to your buyers. If you're truly trying to understand what's most important to your buyer and help your buyer understand what's most important to them, try to change what they're doing." Andy: "I really don't think that there's good sellers and bad sellers. I think there are people that think and who are thoughtful about things and those who don't. The differences are really small between what you might consider a good seller and a bad seller. And so, everybody has this capability of making that transition. It's small things that make a difference."

This episode of Sales Career Podcast with Kevin Hopp features Ralph Barsi, VP for Global Inside Sales at Tray.io. Ralph shares his journey in sales and some lessons he learned that aren't apparent on the surface.He talks about door-to-door selling and the role of a good reputation in driving your sales career. In terms of quitting jobs and moving on, Ralph talks about the lessons he learned from leaders as far back as 20 years ago.And as far as motivation goes, Ralph stresses the difference between being money-motivated and purpose-motivation and how money is not the end goal as money simply helps you achieve your bigger purposes in life. HIGHLIGHTSDoor-to-door selling and hustling to have a reputation that precedes youInvest in network: A rising number of haters is a good signAdversity: Get over the shock of being put on a plan and quitting jobsAdvice for young Ralph: Everything will work out in the endMoney-motivated vs purpose-motivatedQUOTESRalph: "Over time, you'll build that credibility and rapport and that proven track record that would get you a point where you've hustled so much you no longer have to introduce yourself. Your reputation precedes you in a good way. When you're doing work like that and you're contributing back to everybody, trying to add value into their lives and into their careers, people find out about you."Ralph: "I'll invest the time and the attention into the individuals of my network starting with thoughts of them first versus me. I'm not necessarily trying to get anything out of it. I want to see if I can have an impact on their lives in some way, shape, or form, whether that's brokering an introduction for them or taking a look at their offering, etc."Ralph: "Stop stressing out. Stop moving too fast or even moving too slow. Just find a rhythm, find a groove, and start thinking about others more than you think about yourself and stop overengineering situations thinking that it's rainclouds when it actually isn't. It's a lesson. It's going to work out, dude."Ralph: "You should be purpose-motivated over everything else. So the money helps you achieve the purpose. People are taking care of their ailing parents, people are trying to get married, people want to buy a house, people want to make investments into things, and the money will help you achieve and accomplish all those."Find out more about Ralph in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ralphbarsi/Website: https://www.ralphbarsi.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/rbarsiYou can find and connect with Kevin in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/khopp/Website: https://www.hoppconsultinggroup.com/
In today’s episode of the ‘Sales Samurai’ podcast, host Sam Capra who helps marketing leaders in the retail space go beyond the sale/transaction talks with guest Ralph Barsi and discusses 5 reasons why salespeople miss quotas. He also shares how we can learn and overcome them. Episode Highlights 01:40 – Ralph shares, he oversees the global inside sales organization Tray.io in San Francisco. They are in a general automation platform and help a lot of companies integrate all the components of their tech stack. 03:23 – Sam enquires, how did Ralph got started in sales and what's his origin story around sales? 05:37 – What's not changed in sales is people buy from people and people selling to people must build rapport and credibility quickly by not thinking about themselves but the sellers point out Ralph. 07:10 – Ralph highlights, buyers have access to so much information to learn from, that's where the sellers come in. That's where sellers need to differentiate themselves as trusted adviser. 10:28 - The first obscurity just comes down to so many sales reps, especially sales development reps, who are initiating a lot of first conversations with prospects that nobody knows who they are. 11:05 – Ralph mentions, you attract opportunities by becoming attractive in the marketplace. You do that by adding value to the marketplace, and the best channel to do that is LinkedIn. 13:32 – You've got to build up who you are and why one should listen to you even more. You don't have to do that if you've been avoiding obscurity this whole time. 15:52 – Sam asks when Ralph says lack of focus, how that impacts salespeople missing quota? 16:25 - If you're trying to serve your mission of closing deals, making your quota, and moving the needle as a sales rep, you have to boil things down to one thing, says Ralph. 18:00 – Ralph mentions, one of the best tools that he has seen that might be effective from a lack of focus standpoint is it was published a few years ago, by a gentleman named Brendon Burchard. He created and published a one-page productivity plan. 22:50 – Sam enquires about Ralph’s thoughts around inactivity. 24:13 – It’s about planning your work, and not just kind of hoping it all works out. 26:28 – It doesn't matter at all if somebody opened your email, it does not move the needle but if somebody responds to your email, engages and books that meeting with you that means there's something you're putting in the right spot in terms of how you craft your messages. 29:10 - No matter what models you look at or acronyms you want to toss around, it always comes down to taking action and doing what you say you're going to do. 30:46 – You will establish conversation flow when you have a beginning, middle and an end in your mind in a conversation, states Ralph. 32:15 – You’ve to be prepared as a salesperson at all times to establish conversation flow, mentions Ralph. 42:00 – Sam questions Ralph about his thoughts on failure to keep improving. 46:10 – If you just ask yourself, how good am I at this, you'll get your wheels cranking and, in your head, you'll start making some little changes that make the big things happen. Three Key Points To all the salespeople, keep your finger on the pulse of all that's going on. So be on point with where your competitors are today. Be on point with where your customers or competitors are today so that you can help and meet with your prospects and customers. The five reasons why salespeople miss quota: 1. Obscurity 2. Lack of focus 3. Inactivity, 4. No conversation flow 5. Failure to keep improving.

Howard Brown (Founder and CEO at Revenue.io) and Ralph Barsi (Vice President of Global Inside Sales at Tray.io). Together and separately these two are some of my favorite guests. On today's episode we ponder the question, how important are sellers in today's sales environment? It's tempting to underestimate the importance of the credibility and trust that sellers develop with buyers. And how decisive that is in the buyer's decision making. Plus, we talk about win rates as a key metric in sales. Some sales bosses don't believe win rate is an important metric. Others think that's crazy. We get into it why.

If I were to ask most people if they would like to be successful, 100% of them would likely say yes. However, most people’s actions don’t reflect that. We’re generally unaware that it’s that easy: decide to be a success right now. Most people have a misconception of success. They think that it’s an end result to those who were “lucky”, “fortunate” or just simply “better” than they are. But it’s not. “Decide today to be a big success in everything you do.” - Brian Tracy Success is a choice you make every single day. And it’s the ones that consistently say “yes” to success that reach it. Here are 5 ways that Ralph Barsi says we can find success: Become Attractive “Success is not something you pursue, it’s something you attract by becoming an attractive person.” - Jim Rohn This does not mean that in order to be successful, you need to be the sexiest person in the room (though it probably wouldn’t hurt). Think about the people you deem to be a success. My bet is that most of them have a certain “it” factor that you can’t put your finger on. People enjoy being around them, they look forward to seeing them. That’s because they do the little things right: Look people in the eye Strong handshake Tell the truth Be enthusiastic Always follow-up How can you make yourself more attractive to success? Have A System “Losers have goals, winners have systems.” - Scott Adams Successful people have a structured plan of attack. They plan the work and work the plan. What are a few examples of this? Set up tomorrow’s schedule the night before - get organized Do an 80/20 analysis to make sure you’re spending time in the right places Look back to former successes - what is the map that got you there? Rinse and repeat Take Control “You’re not here to survive this, you’re here to take charge of it.” - US Navy SEALS If you’re reading this, you’re probably a millennial like myself. We get a bad rap - lazy, entitled, the list goes on and on. Flip that stigma on its head and do the opposite. Amelia Boone is one of the top Obstacle-Course Racers (think Spartan Race or Tough Mudder) in the world. When Tim Ferriss asked her one quote that she would put on a billboard, she said: “the world doesn’t owe you anything.” She’s right. You’re not here to survive life or just “get by.” You’re here to make a difference. To be your best self. To change the world. It all starts with one step. Win or Learn “I never lose. I either win or I learn”. - Nelson Mandela Life is not one giant moment. It’s a series of millions of moments. You can’t control what happens at every moment, but you can control how you react to it and the meaning you apply to each moment. I interviewed The Wolf of Wall St, Jordan Belfort, and he shared a story that most people don’t know. When he was 23, he was selling meat & lobsters door-to-door. His entire business went south and he went bankrupt. He had to make a decision about what happened. Did he fail because he wasn’t cut out to be an entrepreneur or can he take his learnings from this event to become better? He chose to believe the latter and that changed his life. Give “The student goes to a master and says ‘I’m discouraged, what should i do?’ The master says, ‘Encourage others’. - Zen Proverb Perspective is huge. It’s really important to realize that we are all only one small cog in the engine of the world. When in doubt, think of others. Find a way to add value to them. Can’t make the sale? Struggling in your relationship? Think your boss is a jerk? Do one thing today that makes their day better. The world gives to the givers and takes from the takers. Action Item Now you know: success is a choice that we can make every single day. Decide to be great today and let the momentum carry you forward.

Sales presentations can be the actual worst. One minute into an hour full of bullet points, mismatched colors, and awkward transitions, most people have made their judgement about the presentation.

Ralph has more than 25 years experience in sales and learned that the one key to engaging any audience is through conversational storytelling. And an engaged audience is more likely to turn from prospect to customer.
