Alex shares actionable strategies from his latest book, Outgrow: How to Expand Market Share and Outsell Your Competition, focusing on how to boost sales by being proactive rather than reactive.The conversation dives deep into the "miracle tool" of the telephone and the importance of purposeful outreach when nothing is wrong, rather than only calling when there is a problem. Alex provides powerful insights on overcoming the fear of rejection and maintaining the consistency required to achieve significant organic growth while selling with genuine heart.KEY TAKEAWAYSService-First Mindset: Selling from the heart is a shift in perspective, it is about helping your clients, not just closing a deal.The Proactive Edge: Predictable, organic sales growth is driven by proactive outreach, not by reacting to urgent or stressful problems.Purpose Over Pressure: Meaningful growth is the result of consistent, purposeful actions rather than increased pressure.Reframing Rejection: Rejection is a natural part of the sales process; remember that every “no” brings you one step closer to a “yes”.The Power of the Phone: Using the phone proactively sets you apart in a digital world because most of your competitors simply aren't doing it.Trust as a Catalyst: Building authentic relationships and deep trust is the primary driver of long-term professional success.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESWe are the helpers, we're the salespeople. It's righteous work.Proactive is when nothing is wrong; reactive is in response to something urgent or stressful.Sales growth doesn't come from more pressure, it comes from more purpose.If the phone came out after email, we would all think it's a miracle tool.

Send us a textWe have all been there: You are handed a project, you feel out of your depth, and you are convinced everyone else knows exactly what they are doing. On this week's episode, Scott and Mike tackle Imposter Syndrome head-on, using a disastrous DIY plumbing story involving an angle grinder and a shower handle as the perfect metaphor for professional growth.The duo discusses why being an "expert" doesn't mean knowing everything—it means knowing who to ask and being willing to figure it out. They break down the "7 Red Lines" theory, Scott introduces his concept of the "Working Wheel" regarding willingness to change, and they offer three practical steps to get out of your own head and start trusting your own expertise.Key Takeaways:The "Expert" Trap: Referencing the viral "The Expert" YouTube sketch, the hosts discuss how sales reps are often asked to do the impossible (like drawing transparent red lines). True expertise isn't magic; it's creativity under pressure.Scott's 3 Steps to Beat Imposter Syndrome:Stack Your Wins: Write down your successes. When you see them on paper, it is harder to convince yourself you are a fraud.Progress vs. Perfection: Stop comparing your internal struggles to someone else's external highlights. You are not the worst salesperson ever; you are just learning.Collaborate to Validate: Talk to other pros. You will quickly realize they aren't "superhuman"—they just have different experiences (or a blowtorch and lubricating oil).The Working Wheel: Career longevity comes down to a willingness to try new things. If you stop trying, the wheel stops turning.Curiosity > Intelligence: You don't have to be the smartest person in the room. You just have to be the most curious and the most prepared.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

Managing energy through fitness is vital for sales success, as Steve Whittington, President of Roadmap, go-to-market strategist, and mountain climber, well knows. Steve offers insights into the routines and habits that boost resilience, focus, and motivation in this demanding profession. From lead climbing and HIIT training to the importance of making fitness sacred, Steve highlights how prioritizing well-being can directly impact confidence, stress management, and ultimately, sales results.  Steve shares actionable tips on bringing your best self to every client interaction, and shares a real-world example tying peak physical achievement to peak sales performance. Outline of This Episode [00:00] Physical fitness is crucial for energy management & professional performance. [09:21] Prioritize exercise even amidst a busy schedule. [10:36] Staying fit while traveling. [14:20] Create a committed routine with an accountability partner to improve consistency. [17:05] How climbing Everest boosted Steve's professional career. The Energy-Confidence Connection For Steve Whittington, physical fitness is a lifelong foundation for managing energy and building unshakeable confidence. "When it comes to performance in a professional setting," Steve says, "having the right level of energy to draw from for the challenges that you're up against is critical." Regular exercise across flexibility, strength, cardio, diet, and sleep is his formula for sustainable energy and composure under pressure. We all know that confidence is infectious in sales. When you believe in yourself, your product, and your organization, buyers sense it, and they feed off it. For Steve, the discipline instilled through fitness translates directly to the sales floor, enabling professionals to be "always on" in fast-paced environments. Anchoring Success with Daily Fitness Habits Steve's approach to physical well-being has evolved with age, but consistency remains a key factor. Stretching every morning primes his energy and focus for the day ahead. He trains five to six days a week, ensuring he hits all the "pillars" of health. But the most energizing routine for him is lead climbing, an intense form of climbing where you clip in as you ascend, demanding total focus and delivering a powerful sense of accomplishment when finishing a route. It's all about focus and stillness, as they both give a physical and mental recharge that's hard to match. Three Habits for Sales Resilience When it comes to specific, actionable fitness habits that boost sales performance, Steve offers three clear favorites: HIIT Training Twice a Week: High-Intensity Interval Training gives a strong foundation for overall strength and endurance. Consistent Morning Stretching: This sets a positive tone and sharpens focus at the start of each day. Early Morning Movement: Whether it's running, hitting the gym, or another routine, getting moving before work has been transformative for Steve, creating momentum and energy that carries into his professional life. Overcoming the Salesperson's Fitness Dilemmas A common complaint among sales professionals is the lack of time for exercise, especially for those who are frequently on the road. Steve's solution is to make fitness non-negotiable and integrate it into your lifestyle. If you're traveling, scout gyms or running routes in advance, if possible, structure your work, like picking offices near your gym or walking routes, to bake physical activity into your day. Accountability partners, sacred routines, and progress tracking are all vital tools to make these habits stick. Improving your fitness powers your energy; it also helps you manage stress and sustain long-term motivation. After all, you can't be your best version for others if you're not taking care of yourself first.

Send us a textDo you ever sabotage your own sales momentum before you even pick up the phone? This week on "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott tackle the pervasive enemy of every sales rep: self-doubt. They argue that doubt (the "D" in FUD) isn't just a tactic you use on competitors; it's a "terrible disease" that kills momentum and plagues even the most experienced sellers, often showing up as the feeling of "I'm not good enough."Mike and Scott break down the mental game of sales and provide four foundational strategies to replace uncertainty with unwavering confidence (not arrogance!).Build Confidence Through Clarity: Stop worrying about the outcome and start by simply clarifying your objectives for the day or the call. A clear, simple plan removes ambiguity and eliminates doubt.Replace Doubt with Evidence of Prior Success: Fight the negative internal monologue by focusing on minor accomplishments—even as simple as getting out of bed. The key is finding something that worked and building on it. Don't be afraid to pull from past successes to give yourself and the customer evidence that their decision is sound.Don't Chase Metrics—Coach the Process: Escape the "chasing the quota" trap, which leads to doubt and burnout. Instead, focus on the artfulness and process of sales—the fundamental blocking and tackling you can control. Results, they argue, will follow the process, not the quota.Lead with Certainty (Not Arrogance): Mike defines confidence as "knowing that I can do it," and arrogance as "saying I can do it better than you." Learn to internalize the certainty that you have an objective and a valuable solution, using techniques like the "make your bed" speech philosophy to set a positive precedent for the day.Tune in to learn how to conquer the "what ifs" and ensure your mindset is your strongest sales asset.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

From WhatsApp Discouragement to Sales Confidence: A Nigerian Playbook

Most women cringe when they hear the word sales. It feels slimy, pushy, and completely out of alignment with who we are.

Send us a textIt's the call every sales professional dreads: losing a top account. This week on "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott get raw and real about a painful truth in the sales world. They reveal that no matter how experienced you are, the sting of losing a major client never truly goes away. The same cycle of emotions—shock, anger, and self-doubt—happens every single time.In this episode, we tackle this emotional rollercoaster head-on, providing a crucial framework for not just surviving, but thriving after a major loss. We explore the initial feelings of shock or denial and the inevitable spiral into anger or blame—whether directed at a colleague, the client, or yourself. Mike and Scott share a critical "don't": do not get angry at someone's decision to move on. They explain why recognizing this as a business decision, not a personal attack, is the first step toward a healthy recovery.We then address the dangerous feelings of self-doubt that creep in, making you question your own abilities. But most importantly, we equip you with a plan for what not to do next. We'll show you why you should never panic and frantically call your other clients to offer unnecessary discounts just to keep them. We share a powerful mantra: "Don't let panic poison your position." Instead of creating unneeded commotion, learn how to keep the situation isolated and contain the emotional fallout.Ultimately, this episode is a guide to getting back to business. Mike and Scott emphasize the importance of managing your own emotions, avoiding stressing out everyone around you, and immediately focusing back on your pipeline. The key to recovering from a major loss isn't dwelling on the past, but channeling that energy into the future and getting back to the business of winning.Scott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

Send us a textEver find yourself dreaming big about your sales goals, but those dreams feel more like a fantasy than a plan? This week on "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott tackle a crucial distinction that separates successful sales pros from those perpetually chasing rainbows: the difference between a pipeline and a pipedream.We dive into what makes a pipedream – those exciting, often unrealistic aspirations that live only in your head. While creativity and big thinking are great, a pipedream, by definition, isn't written down, isn't grounded in reality, and often leads to disappointment rather than achievement.Then, we introduce the power of the pipeline – your tangible, realistic, and written blueprint for the future of your business. Mike and Scott break down why your pipeline isn't just a list of opportunities; it's a living document that controls the future of your business. They emphasize that if you dread certain aspects of your work, you have the power to curate your pipeline to avoid those very things, ensuring you're building a future you're excited about.Discover how a truly solid, well-defined pipeline directly translates into increased confidence and greater fluidity in your sales process. When your goals are clearly articulated and genuinely achievable, you'll approach every interaction with more conviction and adaptability.Tune in as Mike and Scott share their signature blend of hard-hitting sales wisdom and engaging banter, helping you ditch the pipedreams and start building a robust, realistic, and profitable pipeline that empowers you to control your destiny in sales.Scott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

Here's a scenario that'll hit close to home: What do you do when you were crushing your numbers just months ago, but now you can't seem to close anything and your confidence is in the gutter? That's exactly what happened to Dhruv, a business development rep from Saint Louis. After figuring out his rhythm in Q1 and hitting strong performance numbers, he found himself in a two-month slump with low attainment and shattered confidence. If you're nodding your head right now, you're not alone. Every sales professional faces these valleys, and how you respond determines whether you bounce back stronger or spiral further down. The Confidence Crisis: When Success Breeds Complacency Dhruv's story reveals a pattern I see constantly in sales organizations. After a strong Q1, he got comfortable. His dials dropped. He thought he had it all figured out. Sound familiar? Here's the brutal truth: Success without discipline is temporary. The moment you stop following the process that got you there, you're setting yourself up for a fall. When things started going sideways in April, Dhruv did what most salespeople do—he panicked. He started questioning everything, looking for new scripts on LinkedIn, using AI to find the "perfect" approach. Everything except the one thing that would actually help: going back to basics. The Fundamentals Never Go Out of Style I told Dhruv about John Smoltz, the Cy Young Award-winning pitcher who spoke at an event I attended. Smoltz explained that when baseball players get into a slump, they start changing everything—looking for magic pills, new techniques, secret solutions. But here's what champions do differently: They go back to the fundamentals. Take Kobe Bryant. Every morning at 4 AM, he'd spend three to four hours working on the same basic skills he learned as a kid. The fundamentals that made him great in the first place. The same principle applies to fanatical prospecting. When you're in a slump, you don't need new techniques—you need to execute the proven process with precision and discipline. Process Goals vs. Outcome Goals: The Confidence Builder When your confidence is shaken, outcome goals become your enemy. Focusing on "I need to close three deals this week" when you're struggling just adds pressure and anxiety. Instead, shift to process goals: How many calls will you make today? Are you using your five-step framework consistently? Are you delivering your ledge statements with conviction? Are you following up with discipline? I shared with Dhruv my own experience from when I was 24 and going through a terrible quarter. I was so down I didn't want to come to work. Here's how I climbed out: I started with 10-minute call blocks. Call for 10 minutes, then read three pages of an inspirational sales book as a reward. Rinse and repeat. Within 30 days, I was performing well. Within 90 days, I was the number one rep in my region. The key wasn't finding a secret technique. It was trusting the process in shorter, manageable increments. The Economic Reality: When Markets Tighten, Double Down Dhruv's slump coincided with companies pulling back on spending. But here's what most reps get wrong: When markets tighten, you need to make more calls, not fewer. The prospects with budget and urgency are still out there, they're just harder to find. That means more activity, not less. More discipline, not shortcuts. This is exactly what I cover in Selling in a Crisis—when economic conditions get tough, the fundamentals become even more critical. Your Confidence Comeback Action Plan If you're in a confidence slump right now, here's your roadmap back: Stop Looking for Magic Solutions Get off LinkedIn. Stop asking AI for the perfect script. The answer isn't out there—it's in the process you already know works. Break It Down When confidence is low, work in shorter blocks. Fifteen-minute call sessions with quick wins and self-recognition for executing the p...

Colin shares his fascinating journey from hating sales to embracing it as one of the most important tools for helping others—and for creating a life of freedom and purpose. Are You Afraid of Selling? You're Not Alone For many, the thought of selling is fraught with fear and discomfort. Colin confesses that he used to despise selling, even going so far as to give away his services for free. But that changed when a mentor pushed him to confront his resistance. He learned that selling isn't about convincing or manipulating others—it's about serving and guiding people to the resources they need to improve their lives. Why Selling Can Be a Force for Good Colin explains that selling isn't about pushing products or services on people who don't need them. Instead, it's about helping others get the solutions they're looking for—solutions that could make a meaningful difference in their lives. He says, "Selling is one of the best things you can do if you want to make a difference in the world." Through sales, you can reframe people's thinking, offer them clarity, and help them bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be. The Key to Sales: Confidence and Detachment One of the core lessons Colin teaches is the importance of being unattached to the outcome of a sales conversation. He encourages people to shift from a place of neediness—where the focus is all on getting the sale—to a place of serving, where the focus is on genuinely helping the person you're talking to. This mindset shift not only makes you more confident, but it also makes the sales process more authentic and less stressful. The Real Story Behind Rejection A common fear in sales (and life) is the fear of rejection. Many people take it personally when someone says no. Colin dispels this myth by reminding us that rejection isn't about you—it's about the offer. He explains, "They're not saying no to you. They're saying no to the offer, not the person." This shift in perspective can make a huge difference in how you approach sales conversations and navigate the inevitable no's. What Mindset Helps You Succeed in Sales? Colin shares that his mindset going into any sales conversation is one of curiosity, empathy, and openness. Instead of focusing solely on closing the deal, he focuses on understanding the person he's talking to—what their needs are, what their challenges are, and how he can help them overcome them. This approach leads to better sales outcomes and deeper connections with potential clients. Sales Is Just Another Way to Build Connections At the heart of sales is connection. Colin points out that the best salespeople are those who approach every conversation with an open heart and a genuine interest in helping others. This means showing up authentically, being willing to listen, and not getting caught up in the fear of rejection or the need to make a sale. When you focus on connection, the sales process becomes much more natural—and far less intimidating. Takeaways: The Power of Sales and Service For anyone struggling with the fear of selling or worrying that they're being “too pushy,” Colin's advice is simple but profound: "Selling is about service. It's about helping people get what they need." By embracing this mindset, you can shift your approach to sales—and life—away from fear and manipulation, and towards authenticity, connection, and genuine support. Get Out of Your Own Way Colin reminds us that the key to success in sales (and life) is showing up as the best version of yourself. The more you invest in your personal growth, the more naturally your sales skills will improve. And even if you're not a natural-born salesperson, with the right mindset and the willingness to learn, you can succeed and make a meaningful impact on others. Listen Now for More Sales Wisdom This episode is packed with invaluable insights for anyone looking to overcome their fear of selling and build a successful business based on serving others. Whether you're in sales, entrepreneurship, or just looking to improve your confidence in life, Colin's story and expertise will inspire you to shift your mindset, embrace the process, and start showing up with confidence. Final Thought: Selling doesn't have to be about manipulation or pushiness. It can be about connection, service, and helping people make a positive change in their lives. By embracing this mindset, you'll not only improve your sales skills—you'll also create deeper, more authentic relationships and open doors to greater success and fulfillment.

Welcome to the Sell With Authority podcast. I'm Erik Jensen, co-owner and Chief Strategy Officer here at Predictive ROI. If you've been a longtime listener, you might be wondering, where's Stephen's voice? Don't worry, there hasn't been a coup. This isn't a mutiny. Stephen's daughter is graduating, and we lovingly kicked him off the mic for the next few weeks so he can fully enjoy that special time with his family. We miss him — but we've got you covered. We built this podcast specifically for you — the agency owner looking to sell more of what you do, in a way that builds a more scalable, more sustainable business — regardless of whatever challenges might be around the next corner. Today's episode is the final installment in our four-part series on the four reasons agencies struggle with sales — and more importantly — how to fix them. I'm excited to sit down again with Hannah Roth, our Director of Strategy and resident mad scientist. Hannah and I are in the trenches every single day, working with agency owners to tackle the issues that keep them stuck. Sales is almost always one of those issues. In this episode, we dive into what we call the practice problem. Why does every sales call feel like the first time? Why do we expect to nail the pitch, but never actually practice it? In any other part of business, that would be nuts. But in sales, it happens all the time. So today, we're going to break that pattern. We unpack how to build a sales process you can actually improve, how to create a system for feedback and iteration, and how to show up to your sales calls ready — not rusty. What you will learn in this episode: The #1 reason agency sales calls always feel new — and how to fix that with one rock solid framework Why practicing your sales process matters as much as practicing any craft The 3.5-step process to running a winning sales call — and where most agencies get it wrong The “Help Me Understand” question framework that turns every discovery call into a trust-building, opportunity-finding powerhouse How to use flashcards, role-play, and real-world feedback to refine your sales message and increase your close rate Why practicing out loud is the best way to show up confidently Resources: Website: www.predictiveroi.com Visit our newly expanded Resource Library Join us in our free How to Fill Your Sales Pipeline Facebook Group Erik's LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/erik-jensen-b9946068/ Hannah's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hannah-roth-387a6b223/ Order your free paperback or Kindle copy of our Book: Sell with Authority

They break down three of the most frequent objections sales reps face, providing you with battle-tested responses that not only neutralize the concern but also advance the sale:The Price/Cost Objection: "It's too expensive."

This classic objection often masks underlying concerns or a lack of clarity. Mike and Scott reveal how to respond with empathy and a strategic question to uncover the real blocker. Learn how to show understanding and then directly address their core hesitation, helping to uncover the true objection and keeping the conversation moving forward decisively, preventing stalls.This episode isn't just about scripting responses; it's about developing the mental fortitude to handle objections with confidence and clarity, ensuring you can navigate any sales conversation effectively and turn every objection into an opportunity for a deeper connection and a closer deal.Scott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

Introduction: In this episode, Sarah Walton, a dynamic business coach and sales expert, unpacks the powerful connection between money mindset and personal growth. Raised in a low-income household, Sarah knows the unspoken rules and financial beliefs that shape our lives. She brings her signature no-nonsense coaching strategies to reveal how women in business can break free from scarcity, embrace abundance, and cultivate confidence in sales and life. This conversation dives into how mindset shifts around time, money, and self-worth can transform your business and personal development journey.     Main Takeaways: Unspoken Rules Shape Financial Beliefs: Identifying inherited beliefs can help dismantle the scarcity mentality. Money is Infinite; Time is Finite: Recognizing this truth can revolutionize decision-making and time management. Confidence Drives Perceived Value: Abundance flows when you confidently own your worth and offerings.     Main Topics with Timestamps: Unspoken Rules and Scarcity Mentality (05:15) Sarah explains how unspoken childhood rules—like "money is stressful" or "more is better"—can unconsciously control decisions. She emphasizes that these beliefs aren't truths but inherited mindsets. Quote: "Unspoken rules run deep, but identifying them allows us to rewrite our stories." Impact: Realizing how these unexamined beliefs operate can unlock a sense of freedom and control over your financial choices. Money vs. Time: Infinite and Finite (23:42) The misconception that time is abundant and money is limited is flipped. Sarah highlights that money flows endlessly in the economy, but time is a resource you can't replenish. Quote: "Billions of dollars circulate daily—it's about participating in the flow, not fighting it." Impact: This mindset shift encourages smarter investments in your time and energy, empowering you to focus on high-value activities. Perceived Value and Sales Confidence (41:08) Owning the value of your work is key to thriving in sales. Sarah reframes selling as a transfer of enthusiasm rather than a pushy transaction. Quote: "When you trust your value, you can confidently ask for the raise or increase your prices without guilt." Impact: Seeing sales as an opportunity to share value transforms fear into empowerment, fostering authenticity in every transaction.     Notable Quotes: "We come into this world naturally abundant; scarcity is something we learn, but abundance is always available." "Confidence in your value isn't about arrogance; it's about showing up with integrity and love." "The unexamined psyche will rule your life—question your beliefs to unlock your true potential."

Ask permission to lead the meeting. Pre-frame the call to take the lead in the meeting.  [02:18] In order to make this meeting productive, can I start with a few questions? [03:08] Establish your expertise when asking a standard question.  [04:24] Acknowledge and allow them to share their expertise. You can also ask about expectations. [06:17] When you ask questions the person answering is the expert at that moment. [08:58] Nikki shares a story about her early career where she was able to stand in her place of credibility and speak about her product and solutions, while still giving respect to their knowledge base. [10:51] Always take a step back and get curious. Ask yourself if you've created an environment of safety. [13:09] Nikki shares a strategy for turning a prisoner into a learner. [14:11] If you can be curious and create safety, a lot of times you can win these people over. [14:49] A polarity response is when someone takes an opposing view to what is said. For some people, this has become a behavioral trait. [15:51] When someone shows up with a polarity response, you need to be able to switch your language. You can find training about this in the Sales Maven Society. [18:29] For a polarity response, use something like I'm not sure you'd be open to this. [19:11] Getting defensive is the worst mistake that you can make. Look for ways to be curious and show it in your body language and your questions. [20:47] Selective amnesia is where you say what you need to say, but then next time you talk to this person you're fine.  [25:15] Boundaries create safety. [26:05] Set yourself up for success by changing your language with polarity, bringing selective amnesia when needed, changing the way you frame questions, and pre-framing at the start of the call. [27:02] It's okay to bless and release. Then use that energy to find your next client.   For more actionable sales tips, download the FREE Closing The Sale Ebook.   Find Nikki: Nikki Rausch nikki@yoursalesmaven.com Facebook | Twitter | LinkedIn | Instagram Sales Maven Society Work With Nikki Discussion To download free Resources from Nikki: www.yoursalesmaven.com/maven
