Together they launched AskJeremy.ai, and it just saved a $6 million deal in two minutes.   Paul and Jeremy break down how AI rescued a wire transfer going dark, the exact tools letting salespeople close deals they'd normally lose, and why most AI hallucinates garbage answers instead of truth. Plus, Paul exposes why founders lose control, the conspiracy theories that are actually true, and how open-source AI will transform communication and business forever.    If you're an entrepreneur, salesperson, or just love real talk about building (and losing) empires — this episode will blow your mind.

This special Saturday episode of the Very Dental Podcast is all about the upcoming Chicago Midwinter Dental Meeting! Alan Mead sits down with Dr. Phil Schefke, President of the Chicago Dental Society (CDS), to preview the 2026 Midwinter Meeting. Whether you're a 30-year veteran of the meeting or a dental student looking for your first experience, this episode dives into why Chicago remains the premier destination for dental innovation, collegiality, and—believe it or not—puppies. The Guest: Dr. Phil Schefke Dr. Schefke serves as the President of the Chicago Dental Society, the largest component of the ADA. With a board of 15 members and a dedicated staff, Phil has spent nearly a decade on the leadership ladder to help orchestrate a meeting that hosts attendees from all 50 states and over 60 countries. What's New at the Midwinter Meeting? The CDS team has spent three years redesigning the attendee experience based on direct feedback. Here are the new features and highlights discussed in this episode: Streamlined Registration: No more waiting for badges in the mail. Attendees will receive a QR code to print their badges at self-service stations at McCormick Place or at three partner hotels (Hyatt Regency on Wacker, Hyatt McCormick, and Marriott McCormick). Enhanced Exhibit Floor Layout: The floor has been redesigned with shorter aisles for easier mobility and "crisscross" navigation. Refresh & Recharge Stations: Scattered throughout the floor, these areas offer water and phone charging ports to keep you hydrated and connected. Grab-and-Go Dining: New food stations on the exhibit floor designed for quick lunches between CE courses. The "Hadley" Puppy Corner: A dedicated space in the back of the exhibit hall to play with puppies and melt away the stress of the day (named after the first CDS president). Early Career Dentist Lounge: A comfortable space featuring couches and networking opportunities specifically for the next generation of clinicians. CDS "Swag" Booth: For the first time, attendees can purchase official CDS-branded jackets, sweaters, and coffee cups. Tech Upgrades: A brand-new, intuitive registration system that prevents double-booking courses and high-quality, reliable Wi-Fi throughout the venue.

In this episode of the Industry Spotlight, we dive into why used car success in 2026 is no longer just about the purchase price, but about the high-stakes ability to acquire and articulate a vehicle's complete story. Joining host Sam D'Arc is Doug Horner of General Sales Manager at Mercedes-Benz of North Olmsted and Tyler Astorg, Vice President Sales at iPacket to discuss how precision data—specifically knowing the exact options and trim levels—serves as a dealer's ultimate superpower. They explore the fine line between profit and peril, demonstrating how missing even the smallest detail in a vehicle's history or condition can make or break your market advantage. By leveraging full data sets to acquire cars at the correct competitive price and sharing that transparency with consumers, top-tier dealers are proving that the final 1% of effort in vehicle presentation is what truly secures the deal.

#778 What if you could ditch the ick in sales and build authentic connections that actually convert? In this episode hosted by Kirsten Tyrrel, Gwen Tinsley — CEO of Grit and Tenacity Consulting and host of the Built from the Ground Up podcast — shares her journey from avoiding sales altogether to becoming a sought-after coach for service-based female entrepreneurs. Gwen opens up about the misconceptions she had around sales, how she reframed the entire process around empathy and curiosity, and the unique podcast-based strategy she uses to connect with her ideal clients. You'll learn how she builds trust without feeling bait-and-switchy, the power of intentional follow-up, and why discovery calls should feel like interviews you're leading — not passing. If sales have ever felt uncomfortable or inauthentic, Gwen's approach will give you a fresh perspective and a framework you can actually get excited about! (Original Air Date - 6/12/25) What we discuss with Gwen: + Reframing the fear of sales + Building trust through authenticity + Podcasting as a lead strategy + Discovery calls with purpose + Avoiding the bait-and-switch vibe + Importance of human connection + Why follow-up isn't annoying + Confidence in your offer + Listening over pitching + Sales as service, not pressure Thank you, Gwen!

It's cold. People are sick. Business feels quiet. Sound familiar? Candace is coming to you fresh off 10+ days sick with the flu - three of them completely in bed - and using this slower winter stretch at Dante and Dory's to get honest about what the numbers are really saying. This episode is about what actually happens when sales dip, and what smart pet business owners do instead of waiting it out. She shares:

With more than 25 years of experience developing leaders, Garland is passionate about helping organizations build environments where every person experiences great leadership. His book Gettin' (un)Busy was named one of Forbes' “7 Books Everyone on Your Team Should Read” and earned the 2020 Author Elite Award for Best Business Book. Dorothy Wood Vance has spent over two decades empowering leaders to discover and maximize their strengths. As co-founder of AdVance Leadership, she has helped grow the company into one of the Top 20 Leadership Development Companies in America. Together, Dorothy and Garland equip leaders with practical tools to unlock potential, strengthen culture, and lead with authenticity.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of the Selling from the Heart Podcast, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Dr. Garland Vance and Dorothy Wood Vance to explore the powerful concept of Unleashed Leadership. They discuss how leaders—and sales professionals—can become “leashed” when responsibilities outpace clarity, capacity, or alignment, and how addressing root leadership issues can unlock greater effectiveness and impact.Drawing from their book Unleashed Leadership, Garland and Dorothy outline seven key areas that often hold leaders back: character, competence, capacity, clarity, community, culture, and consistency. The conversation highlights why clarity is one of the biggest challenges leaders face and emphasizes that salespeople are leaders too—guiding clients toward meaningful outcomes without traditional authority. Packed with real-life examples and practical leadership insights, this episode delivers actionable strategies for anyone looking to lead and sell with heart. KEY TAKEAWAYSLeaders become “leashed” when expectations exceed clarity, capacity, or alignment.Seven core leadership challenges: Character, Competence, Capacity, Clarity, Community, Culture, and Consistency.Clarity is often the most common leadership gap—people need to know where they're going and why.Sales professionals are leaders because they guide clients toward a vision and better outcomes.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESLeaders become “leashed” when expectations exceed clarity, capacity, or alignment.Seven core leadership challenges: Character, Competence, Capacity, Clarity, Community, Culture, and Consistency.Clarity is often the most common leadership gap—people need to know where they're going and why.Sales professionals are leaders because they guide clients toward a vision and better outcomes.

Discover workflows for turning subscribers into buyers through strategic segmentation, behavioral targeting, and quality-over-quantity content delivery.Episode Key Takeaways1. Email Marketing ROI Dominates Social Media – For every $1 spent on email marketing, businesses earn $36-$40 back, far exceeding social media returns.2. Segmentation Drives Conversions – Segment email lists by link clicks, engagement levels, and business vs. personal contacts to send targeted content that resonates.3. Technical Setup Matters – Proper DNS configuration, Google Search Console integration, and backlink strategies improve deliverability and SEO performance.4.

Behavioral Targeting Wins – Track website behavior and email interactions to create personalized follow-up sequences that match subscriber intent.Episode Timestamps[00:00] Introduction: Monetizing and segmenting email lists[02:00] Why email outperforms social media ($36 ROI per $1)[05:00] Building business email lists as valuable assets[10:00] DNS, deliverability, and technical foundations[15:00] Segmentation strategies using link tracking[24:00] Creating consistency through targeted workflows[27:00] Backlinks and SEO benefits from email campaigns[32:00] Calculating engagement: 50 touchpoints = $36 product[45:00] Flowdesk features and automation workflows[68:00] Frequency matters: Quality beats quantity[71:00] Behavioral targeting and site tracking integrationPodcast Episode FAQsQ: What email marketing platform does Favour recommend?A: Favour specifically discusses Flowdesk for its segmentation capabilities, checkout features, and workflow automation that allow precise targeting based on subscriber behavior.Q: How often should I send emails to my list?A: Quality beats quantity. Favour sent only one email in February but generated revenue, leads, and referrals. Ask your audience through polls how often they want to hear from you.Q: What's the difference between business and personal email contacts?A: Business emails (domains like @company.com) engage differently and should be segmented separately. They're checked 3-5 times daily and represent higher-value prospects.Q: How do I improve email deliverability?A: Configure DNS records properly (A, TXT, CNAME), connect to Google Search Console, build backlinks through anchor text in emails, and maintain engagement with quality content.Q: What is behavioral targeting in email marketing?A: Tracking which links subscribers click, what pages they visit on your website, and how they engage with content to send personalized follow-up sequences that match their interests.Memorable Quotes by Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MS"For every dollar that you spend on email, you get $36 to $40 back compared to social media where you may not get up to a dollar back or $2 back.""The best person to tell about what you wrote on your website is your contact list—the same way the best person to tell about something is your best friend.""I can have 50% open rate and no sales, that's vanity. But if you have 10-20% and that gives you more revenue because it's the right audience and it's segmented, then it helps a lot.""Don't just post on your website and expect magic to happen, abracadabra. You have to be intentional, you have to be factual.""Quality beats quantity. If you're actually able to capture that first party data and implement site tracking, it's very powerful to segment those people and send them follow-up messages."Book SEO Services | Quick Links for Social Business>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book SEO Services with Favour Obasi-ike⁠>> Visit Work and PLAY Entertainment website to learn about our digital marketing services>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our exclusive SEO Marketing community⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Read SEO Articles>> ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to the We Don't PLAY Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠>> Purchase Flaev Beatz Beats Online>> Favour Obasi-ike Quick LinksSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I know referrals work. You just have to get them from the right people. In this episode, I am sharing three ways to get high quality referrals that will help you build your sales pipeline.Ask Your Happy CustomersThe most common way to generate referrals is by reaching out to customers who are thrilled with your service and asking for an introduction to their network. Here is the surprising part. While 90 percent of customers say they are willing to refer others, only 11 percent of salespeople actually ask. If you are not asking, you are leaving opportunities on the table.Request Referrals from Non BuyersDo not overlook the conversations that do not end in a sale. Even when someone tells you no, that does not mean the relationship is over. It is still perfectly reasonable to ask if they know someone who is dealing with the challenges your product solves. When you position it around helping others, the request feels natural and value focused.Leverage LinkedIn ConnectionsYou can also take a more proactive approach by using tools like LinkedIn Sales Navigator. Look at your customers' first degree connections and identify people who match your ideal client profile. Then ask for a specific introduction. This method takes more effort, but when you are intentional about who you want to meet, the results can be powerful."Your goal is to get them to be able to be your evangelists." — Donald KellyResourcesKeep track of your sales activity and boost your results with the Prospect Pro sales tool.Join the LinkedIn Prospecting Course to improve how you use LinkedIn and book more consistent, high-quality sales appointments.Visit Blue Mango Studios for help in creating podcast production content.

What is the difference between direct and indirect competitors?Direct competitors are businesses that offer the same products or services within your niche or market. They target the same customer base and operate in similar ways. For example, if you sell red roses, other florists selling red roses are your direct competitors.Indirect competitors are businesses that offer different products or services but satisfy the same customer need or compete for the same market share. Using the flower example, supermarkets and farmer's markets selling flowers would be indirect competitors to a specialized florist.2. How do I find out who my competitors are?Favour recommends using several competitive analysis tools:SimilarWeb: For website traffic and audience insightsSocialBlade: For social media analytics and competitor trackingSparkToro: For audience intelligence and content discoveryYou can also identify competitors by searching for your target keywords on Google and seeing which businesses rank for those terms. Consider both national, international, local, and regional competitors depending on your market scope.3. Should I focus on Google or Instagram for my business?According to Favour, Google is the most unsaturated platform because it's based on search intent—people actively looking for specific solutions. Instagram is a feed-based platform better suited for brand awareness and showcasing visual results (before/after transformations, product demonstrations).Best approach: Use both strategically. Google captures pre-purchase intent (people researching solutions), while Instagram provides post-purchase validation and builds brand awareness. Having a website connected to your Instagram profile adds credibility and improves your off-page SEO.4. What's more important: ranking or performance?Favour emphasizes that performance is more important than ranking. Rankings fluctuate constantly (like stock prices or gas prices), but performance focuses on long-term outcomes:How quickly can you serve customers?What value do you provide beyond just appearing in search results?Can customers find your information when they need it?Anyone can rank with AI-generated content today, but what makes your business different is the experience, speed, and value you deliver to customers.5. How do I approach SEO if I have no competition in my field?When you're in a niche market with little to no competition, Favour suggests:Reverse engineer your success: If you're getting traction on Instagram, create corresponding website content (10 Instagram posts = 10 website articles)Focus on search volume: Research if there's search demand on Google for your servicesBuild credibility: Having a website validates your business more than social media aloneCreate content ecosystems: Connect your social media to your website through embedding posts and cross-linking6. Why is having a website important if I already have Instagram?A website provides business validation and credibility. As Favour's example illustrated: if three businesses offer the same service but only one has a website, customers will trust the one with a website because it demonstrates investment in human resources, infrastructure, and long-term commitment.Additionally, a website enables off-page SEO—when your Instagram links to your website, you're building relationship models between platforms that improve your overall search visibility.7. What is pre-purchase vs. post-purchase intent?Pre-purchase intent: Customers researching before buying (e.g., reading Amazon reviews, comparing products on Google)Post-purchase intent: Customers who already bought and need guidance (e.g., watching YouTube tutorials on how to use an air fryer they purchased)Understanding this distinction helps you create appropriate content for each stage of the customer journey. Google and review sites capture pre-purchase intent, while platforms like YouTube and Instagram serve post-purchase needs.8. Should I run ads if people can't find my business organically?Favour advises: Don't run ads first if people can't find you organically. If the answer to "Will they find my business without ads?" is no, then focus on building organic visibility first through SEO and content creation.If people can already find you organically, then running ads becomes more cost-effective because you're amplifying existing brand awareness rather than starting from zero.9. What are applied SEO marketing tactics?Applied SEO refers to search everywhere optimization—not just optimizing for Google, but creating a comprehensive presence across all platforms where customers might search:Google searchInstagram searchYouTube searchSocial media platformsReview sitesLocal directoriesIt's about understanding customer behavior across multiple touchpoints and ensuring your business is discoverable wherever customers are looking.Additional Resources MentionedSimilarWeb: Competitive website analyticsSocialBlade: Social media statistics and trackingSparkToro: Audience research and insightsChatGPT: AI content generation tool (mentioned in context of ranking vs. performance)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

At ITEXPO / MSP EXPO in Fort Lauderdale, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Lloyd Tjom, Director of Sales at Transaction Network Services (TNS), about the growing importance of RCS and the future of trusted messaging. TNS is also a member of the Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA). TNS operates at the center of the communications ecosystem, providing numbering, routing, authentication, and identity services to carriers and communication service providers (CSPs) worldwide. As messaging evolves beyond SMS and MMS, TNS is focused on helping the industry deliver secure, reliable, and commercially viable Rich Communication Services (RCS). “RCS is the evolution,” Tjom explained. Originally introduced by the GSM Association in 2007, RCS has gained new momentum with broad device support—including adoption by Apple—bringing both Android and iOS into alignment. With that shift, RCS is positioned to become a mainstream messaging channel capable of supporting richer interactions and higher trust. Unlike traditional SMS, RCS enables branded messaging, verified sender badges, logos, read receipts, and interactive features such as carousels and embedded actions. “If they're a vetted partner that has got the branding as well as the verified mark, then you know you're dealing with the right party on the other end,” Tjom said. In an era of phishing and spoofing, verified identity and “know your business” (KYB) vetting are essential components of restoring trust in messaging channels. Tjom emphasized that the phone number remains central to digital identity. For many consumers, a single mobile number has followed them for decades, becoming a stable anchor of trust across carriers and geographies. As RCS scales, however, CSPs must address fragmentation, infrastructure inconsistencies, and bad actors within the ecosystem. Broader adherence to standards, stronger onboarding controls, and rapid mitigation of vulnerabilities will be critical for unlocking RCS's full commercial potential. Looking ahead, Tjom sees RCS becoming the default channel for trusted business communications—enabling full conversational commerce, customer service workflows, flight changes, purchases, and more within a verified, branded environment. “It really has got so many different potentials out there,” he noted, “but it all comes back to trusted communications.” Visit https://tnsi.com/

"Isolate the Real It: The Diagnostic Approach to Closing More Sales"You didn't lose that sale because of price, product, or timing. You lost it because you never isolated the Real It—the actual thing standing in the way. Most salespeople try to solve everything at once, overwhelming the homeowner and killing the sale before it ever had a chance.In this episode, Sam Wakefield breaks down the diagnostic approach to sales that separates top performers from everyone else. You'll learn how to use qualification questions—not to qualify the homeowner, but to isolate the components of their decision. When you stop guessing and start diagnosing, you close more sales with less resistance.If you've ever walked away from an appointment confused about what went wrong, this episode will show you exactly how to find the Real It and guide your homeowner to clarity. This is the mental shift that changes everything.In This Episode:Why most salespeople lose sales by trying to solve the wrong problemThe combination lock metaphor: how one misaligned piece blocks the entire saleHow to use qualification questions to separate product, payment, timeline, and scopeReal-world language examples of isolating the Real It in appointmentsWhy confidence looks like clarity, not information overloadThe difference between diagnosing and convincingHow to get commitment before you negotiateWhy you can't negotiate with confusion—only clarityResources & Mentions:Win-Win Selling by Doug C.

WBBM political editor Geoff Buchholz reports on the decision by Chicago mayor Brandon Johnson to veto proposed restrictions on some products made with hemp.

In dieser Episode von selbst&frei teilt Markus Ihlenfeld, Mitgründer von woom, die ungeschminkte Wahrheit über den Aufbau des Weltmarktführers für Kinderfahrräder – von der Garage bis zu 150 Millionen Euro Umsatz. Markus erklärt, wie er gemeinsam mit Industriedesigner Christian Bezdeka aus einer simplen Beobachtung heraus eine Marke erschaffen hat, die heute jedes vierte Kinderfahrrad in Deutschland und jedes zweite in Österreich verkauft. Ohne Investoren, ohne Pitch-Deck, nur mit 500 Fahrrädern in der Garage – und dem unbedingten Willen, Kindern das beste Produkt zu geben. Besonders wertvoll: Seine ehrliche Reflexion über die ersten acht Jahre komplett ohne externe Investoren – finanziert durch Privatkredite, Crowdfunding und maximale Verschuldung. Markus spricht offen über die Realität hinter den Kulissen: Drei bis vier Jahre ohne Gehalt, Fahrräder in zusammengeschnittenen KTM-Kartons verschickt, nachts in der Garage schrauben nach 12-Stunden-Tagen bei Opel. Er erklärt, warum Top-Line-Growth wichtiger war als Profitabilität, wie sie durch jeden einzelnen Kunden persönlich betreut haben – teilweise Fahrräder in der Mittagspause nach Hause gefahren – und warum der Wiederverkaufswert ihrer Räder so hoch ist, dass Eltern sie sofort wieder loswerden. Die wichtigste Strategie: Aus der Sicht des Kindes denken – kleinere Griffe, leichtere Rahmen, bessere Ergonomie – und den Eltern ein Sorglos-Package bieten, das sie nie wieder über Kinderfahrräder nachdenken lässt. Besonders eindrucksvoll: Seine persönliche Journey vom Marketingdirektor bei Opel – der mit einem Flugzeug das GTI-Treffen am Wörthersee crashte – zum Vollzeit-Gründer, der seinen sicheren Job aufgab, während seine Frau die Familie versorgte. Markus spricht offen über die größte Herausforderung: Finanzierung – wie sie mit Privatkrediten in Millionenhöhe gewachsen sind, weil Banken und Investoren nicht an sie glaubten. Er erklärt, warum er nie wieder studieren würde – weder Bachelor noch MBA – und stattdessen direkt in Sales oder in ein Startup einsteigen würde. Die wichtigste Erkenntnis: "Ego ablegen, einfach machen und jeden einzelnen Kunden glücklich machen." Heute gründen Markus und Christian mit Pop-Top – höhenverstellbare Schreibtische für Kinder – das erste von zehn geplanten Startups in den nächsten Jahren. Ein radikales Plädoyer für Naivität, Mut und die Kunst, eine Marke zu bauen, die nicht von Marketing lebt, sondern von echter Mission und kompromissloser Qualität.

Guest: Michael Bernstam. Bernstam details Russia's faltering war economy, citing declining oil production, a shrinking civilian sector, and reliance on gold sales to offset budget deficits.

Imagine that you’re so angry about a business deal gone wrong that you grab a chisel, find a slab of stone, and spend hours carving your complaint. That’s exactly what a Mesopotamian merchant did in 1750 and made sales history.  The merchant was furious because he’d been promised high-grade copper, but the final product was subpar. That angry customer complaint is now sitting in the British Museum, 4,000 years later. The tablet reads: “What do you take me for? That you treat someone like me with such contempt?” If you think dealing with issues in the sales process is a modern problem, you’re off by about four millennia. Sales Hustle Is Ancient We talk about sales like it’s a modern corporate invention. CRMs and automated sequences are new, but the art of the deal and dealing with angry customers? That's been around since humans started trading. The copper merchant in 1750 BCE wasn’t just selling copper. He was managing client expectations, handling logistics, and clearly failing at quality control. The core practices of B2B sales—promise, delivery, and relationship management—haven’t changed. 1600s: Sales Becomes a Profession Fast forward to 1600, and you see the founding of the East India Trading Companies. They were some of the first corporations that allowed people to buy shares in a business. One of the East India Trading Companies was owned by “the 17 gentlemen”—a group of wealthy investors who funded global trade expeditions. They kept spices like nutmeg, pepper, and cinnamon flowing across continents. The spices were so valuable that they were practically currency. This was B2B sales at scale. Shareholders’ expected returns. Merchants negotiated deals across continents. The stakes were massive, and so were the profits. This era established something critical to modern sellers: the separation between ownership and operation. The 17 gentlemen didn’t sail the ships or negotiate every spice deal. They hired people to do it. Sales stopped being a personal trade and became a repeatable profession with accountability structures built in. 1851: Visibility and Competition Arrive The Great Exhibition in London in 1851 was the world’s first massive B2B trade show in sales history. Thousands of exhibitors. Hundreds of thousands of attendees. A giant glass building called the Crystal Palace. Nearly 200 years later, sales pros still pack convention centers, set up booths, and fight to stand out in a sea of competitors. This is where B2B sales became visible. You weren’t just competing against one or two local merchants anymore. You were standing next to dozens of alternatives, all promising similar value. Differentiation became mandatory. Following up meant writing a letter and waiting weeks for a response. Today, if you’re not following up within 24 hours, you’re losing to competitors who are. 1957: Reach and Leverage Scale Up The first inside sales team was formed at a company called Dial America in 1957. Before that, if you wanted to sell, you hit the road. Door-to-door, city-to-city, face-to-face. Every single deal required physical presence. The telephone changed everything. Suddenly, salespeople could work virtually, reach more prospects, and close deals without leaving the office. One seller could now have 20 conversations in a day instead of three. The math of sales productivity fundamentally shifted. Fast forward to today, and inside sales is the dominant model. The tools have evolved—Zoom calls, screen shares, digital demos—but the core principle remains: you don’t need to be in the same room to build trust and close deals. From Stone Tablets to Instant Messages: Why Speed Matters Now Think about the effort that the merchant put into carving his complaint into stone. He didn’t fire off a quick email. He didn’t leave a one-star Google review. He created a permanent record that would outlive both him and the seller by thousands of years. Today, complaints are easy. Maybe too easy. A customer can blast you on LinkedIn, tank your review scores, or CC your entire executive team on an email thread—all before lunch.  Every major shift in B2B sales increased speed. Trade shows multiplied visibility. Telephones let sellers reach 20 prospects a day instead of three. Email collapsed follow-up from weeks to hours. Social media made reputation instant and permanent. In 1750 BCE, you had time to respond. Now, you have hours—maybe minutes. Each acceleration rewarded the sellers who could execute fast without sacrificing quality. The ones who couldn’t keep up disappeared. Why This Timeline Matters More Than You Think We're in another massive shift in sales history. AI, automation, predictive analytics—the pace is relentless. It's easy to think everything has changed. Zoom out 4,000 years, and the pattern emerges: speed accelerates, but the core practices stay the same. So the next time you get a harsh email from a customer, remember that stone tablet. You don't have to worry about your failure being displayed in a museum 4,000 years from now. But you do have to worry about your reputation spreading across the internet in hours. The tools change, the pace accelerates, but the rule is simple: earn trust, deliver value, and handle problems before they handle you. You just saw how history teaches that speed and execution have always mattered — and now AI is the biggest shift we've seen yet.

I'm back sharing another case study with you featuring one of our Paper Camp alum, Taylor Carroll of The Stray Shop. Before we dive in, I wanted to remind you about the free workshop that I'm hosting on February 18th at 10:30am Pacific Time. This wholesale buying season has been really eye-opening.  I've been in this industry for 17 years and I've worked with tens of thousands of brands.

On this week's Listen Then Speak, Jahmaal sits down with business coach Justin Janowski for a conversation that goes past surface-level advice and into what actually makes sales, pricing, and strategy feel clean and effective. Justin is the founder of Faith2Influence, and began his entrepreneurial journey just like many others, with uncertainty and fear, but also with a strong desire to build a faith-driven, impactful, and financially successful business. He joins Jahmaal to talk about why “sales” doesn't have to feel pushy (or fake), and how the best sales conversations are really leadership with a clear invitation at the end. Justin also breaks down his simple framework for ending every call with a yes, a no, or the next call booked, so you stop living in follow-up limbo and start closing the open loops that quietly drain your time and energy. You'll also hear the mindset side: identity, emotional state, and the stories we tell ourselves about money and rejection, and the quick pre-call rituals Justin uses to show up grounded, confident, and aligned. If you're building a business, thinking about a side gig, or you just want to get better at communicating value without feeling “salesy,” this episode is for you.Interested in Launching your own Podcast?Podcast Principles can help!

Keine Theorie. Nur das, was im Verkaufsalltag funktioniert – egal ob du Software, Dienstleistungen oder Industrieprodukte verkaufst.
