In This Episode: [02:31] We're going to talk about how to look to the past in order to look to the future. [03:56] We learn about Dan's many jobs until he read Tim Ferriss's book and started thinking about alternatives. [04:55] He mostly worked in agencies until he started Sales Schema as a fractional new business team. [06:18] His tendency is to go to the past to figure out the future. [07:03] he's a believer in building energy through meaning. He's a fan of Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search For Meaning. [08:55] The advantage of being able to look at history and understand why something does or doesn't work. [09:55] Figuring out why something is no longer working. [11:26] What has changed with the people you're interacting with? Historically we're kind of in a "trust recession". [13:25] The internet and information technology has delivered a lot for us, but we don't know how much more value there is left to be extracted. [14:47] The stuff that's going to be valuable is the stuff that has been valuable. Such as things that have been scarce. [16:22] When you know we're in a "trust recession" you need to find a way to differentiate yourself. Go back to what scares like commonality. [17:47] The things that people want long-term change over time. [19:06] Pay attention to trends and notice how they are the same or different from past trends. [22:14] Nikki says that rapport builds relationships and people want to buy from people who they trust and have a relationship and connection. [24:15] Dan gives an example of hybrid sales. They have video content which they include with their sales process. [27:19] The advantages of repelling people who aren't in alignment as fast as possible. [29:10] Really paying attention to trends. Just because it worked in the past doesn't mean it's going to work now. Pay attention to what your clients say and what they're looking for. [30:52] Using secret languages to speak with prospects. [34:08] The importance of paying attention to language. Words matter. [36:43] Most of what we see now is downstream of technology. The order seems to be a scientific breakthrough, to technology, to economy, to culture. [39:32] Dan's 15-month-old son brings him joy. He also hosted a College radio show and was the hip hop director for a Santa Cruz radio station. [40:32] His business is pivoting to a training model. They also have a new content channel, and they're messing around with a lot of new tools. For more actionable sales tips, download the FREE Closing The Sale Ebook.

I'm thrilled to have Dan Englander as our guest expert on this episode of Sell With Authority. Dan is the CEO and Founder of Sales Schema, a fractional new business team for marketing agencies. He's also the host of The Digital Agency Growth Podcast and the author of “Relationship Sales at Scale.” Dan's book perfectly captures one of the biggest challenges agency owners and their teams face when it comes to business development — how to open doors efficiently, build meaningful relationships, and fill your sales pipeline without getting bogged down by a slow, one-by-one approach. How do you balance personalization with scale? This is exactly where Dan shines. “Building trust can be challenging, but the good news is that going in cold is no longer necessary. Your outreach does not have to summit a mountain but rather walk over a small hill — since the goal is not to build the trust needed to close a deal — but just enough to de-risk a conversation and create a relationship.” We dive into this core concept from his book — how balancing personalization and scale is not only possible, but essential. A big dose of gratitude to our presenting sponsor for the podcast, Conduit Digital. By using their expertise in streamlining, upgrading & scaling your clients…they promise to reduce your risk so you can become the best digital agency in your market in 30 days.

Episode: 15 Chapter Fifteen of Anyone, Not Everyone discusses the significance of being on the "day one list" of vendors that buyers consider without prior research, achieved mainly through colleague recommendations, past experiences, and vendor websites. It emphasizes the importance of building a strong reputation within a vertical market community, akin to integrating into a village, through deliberate relationship-building with influential brands (tastemakers) and mavens. The chapter outlines strategies for engaging with tastemakers and mavens, participating in vertical associations, attending and hosting events, and being present at vertical-specific "watering holes" to foster trust and become the recommended go-to agency. Reminder that this is a chapter in Corey Quinn's book, Anyone, Not Everyone. Over the next few weeks, we'll be releasing a few chapters at a time so that you can escape founder-led sales.

How do you use relationships to build trust in agency sales? Let's bring on today's guest, Dan Englander, to answer the question. In addition to authoring a book titled Relationship Sales at Scale, Dan is an expert in helping agencies grow through relationships. He runs Sales Schema, a boutique sales company he founded in 2014, which leans into leveraging relationships to grow trust in the sales process. And, the proof is in the pudding. Firms that use Dan's relationship-based approach see 5-10x ROI, on average. According to Dan, the first step of building a high-converting and predictable pipeline begins and ends with tasteful and targeted outreach. Today, it's easy for a B2B company or agency to get swept away by all the sales tools, technology, and automation available. The reality is that people respond far better to an approach that leans on a human touch and shared commonalities instead of mindless optimization. Dan joins the show to share what he's learned generating millions of dollars in revenue for 100s of clients with his relationship-based approach to business development. He shares exactly how and when to leverage common ground and your network to make personal connections that convert. Here's what Corey and Dan discuss in this episode: - Challenges around converting in the sales funnel. - Leaning into relationships to open doors to prospects. - List-building best practices. - How to be specific with your ICP. Here are some actionable key takeaways for agency founders: - Referrals can get you from zero to one but not beyond. - If you're not converting top-of-funnel, it's usually a case of lack of trust. - Automation isn't compelling, relationships are. - Anyone can do outreach, not just the CEO. - When it comes to list-building, less is more. - How to systematize relationship sales.

The role of the admission advisor is focused on more than just getting the students on enrollment. The real deal starts to inspire students to continue their education, as enrollment is down across the board. The common issue arises when admissions officers disregard the value of developing connections with students in order to boost dials. Degree requirements that are too complicated and appear to be unnecessary, roadblock courses, and unavailable or inconvenient courses can all create significant challenges to student success. In this new multimodal learning environment, utilizing diverse metrics and including student voices are critical components to improving success in higher education.

Years of trust can evaporate in a matter of moments if you forget this simple rule. Dmitri Leichik learned the hard way that customers are not buying your product, they are buying your commitment to their success. The moment they perceive a transactional motive, you've lost.Utilizing a founder led sales model, Twistellar has grown globally and still relies on Dmitri's long term relationship strategy that in many cases takes years to mature from conversation to trust to a project.If you sell B2B, you have to assume that a potential customer already has a trusted supplier. They may say no to you on a Monday and yes on a Friday because something changed in that relationship. Timing and luck are everything and that's why you have to be tireless in maintaining relationships over long periods of time.Highlights3:24 You need to clearly understand how people interact, how people communicate, how your sales people actually work every day to make their customers happy. Only then can you automate the process.5:14 A professional consultant must focus on the customer's business processes, not the solution features. Sometimes our role is to convince the customer not to spend money on a solution because the business is not ready.8:27 In sales, the first step needs to be defining “What difference can you bring to the table?”9:49 To be successful, three factors need to come together at the same time: You need luck to be in the right place at the right time, you need to be very active to be in as many places as possible, you have to be working hard to make every customer successful.11:49 I still do most of the selling myself since I am the best person to match business needs to technical solutions. I am a technical advisor and am never trying to sell a specific solution.13:47 In B2B, a potential customer already has a supplier to solve their problems. You have to get to them at the exact moment where they have some reason to consider a new partner.14:45 We work 12-14 hours a day so that we can always be available to give friendly advice. That's how we ‘sell'.18:48 To win business, you have to demonstrate that you bear the responsibility for the project's success.20:49 It can take years to build a relationship before the first project. On the other hand, one wrong action can spoil that relationship in one day.23:01 You must consider all of the people in an organization who benefit from your work. They are part of your word of mouth referral network especially when they move to a new company.26:50 The sales process ends when the work is done and the customer is happy.28:10 Mistakes can be made and it's critically important to take responsibility for them. We recently underestimated a project by 400 hours and we accepted the loss.About Our GuestDmitri Leichik is CEO and co-founder of Twistellar, #1 Salesforce Consulting Partner in Denmark.

Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like to attract more clients with outbound sales? Do you need to build a successful sales team that gets results? Today's guest is a sales expert who helps agency owners get out of sales and build a successful sales team. It's all about building consistency and using your network to create relationships that will help you grow your agency. Dan Englander is the CEO and founder of Sales Schema, a B2B agency that secures ideal prospect relationships. His team goes out to the market and helps clients get meetings and focus on new business. Earlier in his career, he led new business for a creative services company and helped them get to seven figures. After starting his agency in 2014, he has learned a lot about how companies go after new business. More recently, he shares his perspective on sales and how to improve at it in his new book, Relationship Sales at Scale. In this episode, we'll discuss: How agencies can do better at outbound sales. Using your network to get to your ideal clients. What works when it comes to finding and training salespeople.

Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM When is the Right Time to Transition Out of Sales? Transitioning out of sales requires two main steps, according to Dan: who's doing what and developing consistencies in the sales process. We all fall into the trap of dedicating too much time and energy to clients and none to your agency. Once you stop focusing on sales you'll be on another level to focus on growing your agency. If you're an agency owner and the salesperson, think about spending half your time on sales. Eventually, get yourself to the point where you can just focus on the top of the funnel and have someone help set meetings. Clear the other half of your time to focus on your agency. Do this with the mindset of gradually getting out of sales altogether. Agency owners commonly try to hang on to sales because they feel clients only want to talk to them. That's a misconception, considering how many owners have managed to grow their agencies to massive proportions by getting out of sales. It's not the easiest thing to do, but once you have a repeatable sales process it becomes easier to get someone else in that seat. Where do some agency owners go wrong with this transition? They jump to it too early before figuring out the repeatable process. They just throw a salesperson into it the mix and expect them to figure it out. That sets them up for failure and, once they do, it is easy to convince yourself that you're the only one that can handle sales successfully. How to Create a Repeatable Sales Process Agency owners struggle, sometimes for years, to find the right salesperson and this has a lot to do with having the right systems in place. Dan likes to break it down into a process where you start at the very top of the funnel. Think about how you're getting meetings. Break down your conversion process from the first appointment to the proposal. Follow that with breaking down the process from proposal to close. Of course, this may vary depending on how complex your sales process is -- documenting everything is key in order to set up your salesperson for success. When it comes to how to get meetings, Dan and his team find outbound is a really good way to do it. Whatever you're selling it stands to reason that your market will be relatively small. Your target audience is not everyone in the world so you don't have to build a massive inbound funnel. There are really a finite number of relationships you can build in your area. With outbound, you can start building those relationships before the client actually has a need. Then you are top of mind when the need is there. Building Relationships With Outbound Sales One of the things Dan's agency does for clients is referral-driven campaigns where they make a list of ideal clients and identify who could introduce them to those clients. Basically, they identify friends of friends, narrow them down to contacts in the first degree and ask for an introduction to someone in their network. A lot of people have no problem making that connection once you're upfront about what you want. They usually start with an accounts-based list of thousands of companies. Instead of trying to find the golden company that you may want to work with but have no meaningful connection to, find a number of companies you're actually connected with. The connection you make as a result might not get you a campaign that lasts very long, but it will help you get that level of trust in order to get you a referral. What Works When it Comes to Finding Salespeople? This is something Dan still struggles with to this day. Being a sales hirer is part of your job as an agency owner and part of getting out of sales. You have to dedicate part of your time to finding the right salesperson and training them because you're essentially investing in someone that's going to help your agency grow. Dan's agency gives the hiring funnel as much importance as the sales funnel. Also, to weed out candidates that are ultimately not a right fit Dan usually asks for video interviews. It's a way to see how invested the candidate is and avoid wasting time on long interviews in-person interviews. Once he's made that hire, he invests in sales training every week. New team members do role-playing exercises and listen to sales calls every day to get ready. It is a lot of work, he admits, but it is worth it. Another good tip is to not assume the person is perfect for the job after a good interview. Ask the candidate to make a 90-day plan and see if what they present truly aligns with what you need. Finally, don't underestimate the importance of not just hiring the right person for the job. It's equally important to put together the right framework for your salesperson to model, evaluate, and make new recommendations on. How to Face Client's Skepticism The hardest part of sales is getting someone to agree to take your call. Once you've done that, they are now investing time. They would not be spending time in that conversation if they didn't have a specific need. Just make sure the conversation flows in a way the client is comfortable and feels heard. Spend more time listening than talking. Give space to ask questions and don't make the prospect feel interrogated. Don't underestimate the importance of asking the right questions to pull the client in. A lot of salespeople tend to push a lot and makes people feel they have to push back. It's a completely different thing to present yourself as the trusted advisor through the right questions. Want the Support of Amazing Digital Agency Owners?

I'm honored to have Dan Englander with me this week on the Progressive Agency podcast. Dan is the CEO and Founder of Sales Schema and host of The Digital Agency Growth Podcast. He joins me to share the details of growing an agency and how to ensure you hire the right people into your organization. During our conversation, Dan also discusses how to balance personalizing critical touchpoints and scaling to ensure consistent and reliable growth. Hear insights about: How Dan got out from under the sales-client-service shuffle Why you should reframe your thinking around new hires The most important financial lesson Dan has learned over the last few years Why you have to integrate hiring new people into all of your processes The two different skill sets you need to make successful hires The most common financial mistakes that agency owners make and how to avoid them Two key strategies that agencies can leverage to build and grow their business Learning to Hire Effectively Bad hires are very costly. My guest this week on the Progressive Agency Podcast, Dan Englander, highlights the importance of learning to hire staff effectively, and shares why the ‘hire fast, fire fast' philosophy just doesn't work. He offers advice on how to reframe your thinking when it comes to hiring new talent, and how that will ultimately save your agency money in the long run. Personalizing Critical Touchpoints Dan describes his early experiences in the agency space, how he got caught in the sales-client-service shuffle, the lessons he learned, and why he started Sales Schema. He highlights his agency's evolution from cold outreach to personalizing their service where it really matters. We also discuss the specifics of why there's more power in the squad and how fractional teams allow businesses to leverage a vast range of expertise, particularly in a tight labor market. The Profit First Model Dan shares with us how he made sense of cash flow in his business by doing a version of the profit first model and why he has found it helpful. If you put tax and profit away first, it makes it much simpler to judge cash flow. Listen to the episode to learn why Dan believes you have to be aware of the impact of the economy on your cash flow.

As the founder of the LinkedIn Client Accelerator and head of growth for Entrepreneur Business Live, Richard has helped hundreds of consultants, possibly thousands, to get clients on LinkedIn. And he does it without automation or any of the tactics so many of us despise--in other words, the right way. He and Dan discuss the “platform abuse” that seems to be rampant on LinkedIn, and what salespeople and marketers should be doing to reject this behavior and use the platform properly. As often happens on the show, we learn that it's all about relationships, putting the work in, avoiding shortcuts, and having the right mindset.

I believe that relationship building is the new marketing. Brands must build a relationship that instills trust so that a prospect will become a lead.Once you have a quality lead it is time for sales to continue building the relationship. You will not deepen a relationship by sending out general sales messages that are more concerned about quantity over quality.In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Dan Englander, CEO & Founder of Sales Schema.During our conversation we discussed:1) Why do salespeople need to rethink what they are doing in order to stand out from the noise?2) How do you find the right balance between personalization and scale in sales?3) What is the best strategy for going outside of referrals and personal networks to find new business?And then at the end, we heard exciting news about a NEW book Dan has coming out: Relationship Sales at Scale.Can't wait?

One of the most cost effective ways to grow your business is to build relationships with people in your community. Treating every customer like they are your friends and family. Now many companies may claim they do this, but in reality, it is all about the transaction, not long term value. There has been a glut of sales training focusing on "relationship sales process" but it just becomes another tactic. But what if you really executed on the idea? How could you develop your business to be the "go to" business for your product and service. In this episode, Dusty Sutherland, military veteran, general sales manager and now head of sales shares his views on how he focused on building relationships in his town, through charity, being present in the community and always leading with a servant's heart. He changed the way his community viewed car dealership employees. Enjoy the conversation and don't forget to subscribe and share!!

If a business is growing fast, that's a very good thing and working on making it happen is an awfully smart place to focus. But can the two ideas work together? Intuitively not, which is why it's so intriguing to speak with Dan Englander about what he calls Relationship Sales at Scale. I'll let him articulate the ideas in the episode which he does well. If the concept is intriguing to you, you should definitely check it out!
