Most sellers tend to get caught up in the technical side—asking the “right” questions, handling objections, and checking all the boxes. But in the process, we often overlook something just as important: the emotional side of selling. That's why I invited Alex Kremer, founder of Alluviance, to join me. He breaks down how the right mindset can help you close more deals and build lasting relationships.Meet Alex Kremer· Alex Kremer is the Founder of Alluviance, a community and organization dedicated to transforming sales and leadership through authenticity, purpose, and performance. · With over 15 years of experience, he has worked with top companies like Salesforce, AWS, and Gong, and played a key role in scaling Outreach from $25M to $250M. · He's hired, trained, and led over 100 Account Executives and Sales Managers, earning President's Club honors 7 years in a row.· Alex is known for helping leaders build high-performing teams and purpose-driven cultures that achieve lasting results.Beyond the Tactics: The Role of Mindset in Sales Success· Alex pulls back the curtain on his journey, opening up about the hidden struggles he faced even when he seemed most successful. · Despite hitting top quotas and leading major accounts at Microsoft, he battled depression, highlighting a key truth: salespeople can meet every external standard and still feel empty inside. · Alex explains how mental, emotional, and even spiritual health are often overlooked but absolutely crucial to sustainable, fulfilling sales success.Practical Strategies: Filling the Void and Mastering the Inner Game· Alex introduces the concept of “parts work,” a therapeutic approach to identifying and relating to various emotions without self-judgment. · He stresses the importance of self-awareness, inviting reps to treat their emotional states with the same curiosity as they would a sales prospect in discovery. · Simple practices like mindful breathing, walks without phones, and reflective journaling can create the internal space needed for clarity.Leadership in Action: Bringing Mindfulness Into Sales Teams· For sales leaders, Alex suggests starting meetings with grounding exercises such as box breathing or gratitude practices. · Investing a few minutes in presence and connection sets a more productive tone than jumping straight to numbers.“When you connect more deeply with yourself, it allows you to connect more deeply with other people, which is very interwoven with sales.” - Alex Kremer.ResourcesAlex's company, Alluviance, hosts regular retreats blending sales tactics with inner game work.

A process for complete machining of stator housings for electric motors, developed by Chemnitz machinery manufacturer NILES-SIMMONS and tool manufacturer MAPAL, has reached series production. Suppliers and OEMs now use it to produce components for drives in battery-powered electric vehicles and hybrid models. Both manufacturers recently proved in a development project that highly cost-efficient and precise production of stator housings is possible on a pick-up lathe. The parts feature external ribs for cooling circuits and are installed in the larger motor housing. Whilst NILES-SIMMONS used a converted modular lathe during development, a machine specifically designed for stator production has now entered the market. The basis for development was the vertical machining centre from the RASOMA brand, which, like NILES-SIMMONS, is an NSH Group brand. The RASOMA DZS 400-2 indicates operation with two workpiece spindles. For series production, the machine features side-mounted pickup and drop-down areas for finished parts. Components are supplied and removed via conveyor belts. With manual assembly, 10 to 20 components can be buffered through automation, allowing multiple systems to operate simultaneously while workers attend to other processes. “We've realised highly simple automation as standard. No robots or blocks on the machine are required.Operators can place parts directly on the pallet belt,” explains Thomas Lötzsch, Sales Manager at NSH TECHNOLOGY. The machine integrates easily into existing production environments, with compact installation dimensions of 7.50 by 2.60m. The RASOMA DZS 400-2 design was developed in collaboration with LTH Castings, a partner with extensive casting experience and expertise in machining complex, high-quality, thin-walled pressure die-cast aluminium components. The design, therefore, directly incorporates practical experience and user requirements. Complete machining in two clamping systems Finishing occurs on the vertical machine in two clamping systems. A clamping device picks up the workpiece from above and moves it to various machining stations. At a re-clamping station, the part is rotated 180 degrees and picked up by the second workpiece spindle for finishing. During second clamping, machining of the next component begins simultaneously at the first pick-up. The process begins with pre-roughing the component's various inner diameters. The tool remains stationary whilst the workpiece rotates. “Unlike conventional turning with a blade, machining with a four-blade ISO boring tool on an HSK-A 100 spindle takes just a quarter of the productive time,” says MAPAL regional sales manager André Ranke. The inner tool also rotates. Tool speed and workpiece speed differences produce cutting speed at the inner blades. The bell-shaped outer tool remains stationary. The component is placed in the gap between inner and outer tools for machining. This patented process reduces forces on the clamping system, avoiding the need for complex workpiece clamping devices with vibration-damping for precise machining of thin-walled components. “When designing the tool, particular attention was paid to the large chip volume and significant forces generated, as simultaneous inner and outer diameter machining is unusual,” explains Michael Kucher, Component Manager E-Mobility at MAPAL. During finishing, only the fine boring tool is driven whilst the component remains stationary. This prevents non-rotationally symmetrical workpiece shapes from causing material imbalances with negative impacts. The workpiece is then re-clamped and the outer area previously clamped in the flange area is machined. The re-clamping station can also relax the material before fine boring. The machine has two tool revolvers for driven tools carrying out further machining based on component requirements. Faster and more stable than expected “The RASOMA DZS 400-2 combines turning speed for pre-machining inner and outer contours with fine boring accuracy for finishing inner contours,” says Daniel Pilz, Project Leader at NSH TECHNOLOGY. With machine, tool technology, and process serialisation, positive prototype results were improved further. Process reliability exceeded expectations, allowing the targeted cutting speed of 700 m/min to be increased. “For aluminium machining, NILES-SIMMONS' experience positively impacts tool technology and machine reliability,” explains Michael Kucher. The RASOMA DZS 400-2 achieves much shorter chip-to-chip time than milling centres because all tools are already in the working area. This reduces non-productive time. Using this technology, studies anticipated 50% cycle time reduction. Parts were initially measured, current guidance recommends testing one part per shift. Daniel Pilz uses figures to demonstrate this is more than adequate: “The RASOMA DZS 400-2 with special MAPAL tools achieves a process capability index over 1.67 for critical characteristics such as cylinder shape, diameter, and concentricity, meeting industrial specifications.” Customers already using the machine achieve annual outputs of up to 180,000 components in a three-shift operation. Success at high volumes LTH Castings in Slovenia is among the first to adopt the serial process for stator production on the RASOMA DZS 400-2. The traditional casting company has over 100 casting cells and processes raw parts on more than 250 CNC machining centres. Around 3,800 employees work across six sites. Dr Primož Ogrinec, CTO of LTH Castings, says: “With our all-in-one solutions from design to series production, we're a key strategic partner for the automotive industry. Our range includes components for drives, motors for battery-powered electric and hybrid vehicles, steering and braking systems.” Robots load and unload the RASOMA DZS 400-2 machines in ultra-modern production. Like most automotive suppliers, LTH Castings produces components for various vehicle models. The RASOMA DZS 400-2's flexibility, which only requires retooling of the clamping device and tool, makes it suitable for stator housing production. “With a single system using the new process, an optimal solution, tailored to manufacturer-specific needs in both quantity and quality, was developed and brought to series production maturity,” says André Ranke. Stator housing production can be carried out for diameters up to 500mm and components up to 500mm in length. “Every housing type we've seen can be manufactured on the RASOMA DZS 400-2—and we've seen plenty,” says Thomas Lötzsch. The project team was surprised when a major car manufacturer's housing design required an internal component indentation. The sample component from MAPAL, specially designed for the process, didn't present this challenge. Yet MAPAL quickly had a joint solution ready with NSH Group specialists: instead of the tried-and-tested fine boring tool, an ultra-precise actuating tool with four slides from MAPAL's product portfolio created the desired inner contour. Machine-side, a connection designed in coordination with MAPAL was ready within days and achieved series production maturity during the ongoing order. With tightly networked development structures, both companies react quickly to newly developed contours. New benchmark for low costs per part The RASOMA DZS 400-2 with MAPAL tool technology has become established in series production, addressing quality issues seen on traditional turning and milling machines. Thomas Lötzsch describes cases where required shape and position tolerances were not met with reliable processes, resulting in up to 50% scrap. When quality was sufficient, cycle times were inefficient, leading to higher workpiece costs. A proven manufacturing process was missing. As price competition is tough among automotive suppliers, RASOMA DZS 400-2 development focused on minimising unit costs from the outset. This goal was achieved through high machine availability, short cycle times, machined component quality, and production with reliable processes.

Er erzählt von seinen Erfahrungen beim Aufbau des europäischen Zoom-Hubs während des Hypergrowths in der Pandemie und verrät, welche kleinen Hacks – von Walk-and-Talk-Meetings bis zu persönlichen Videobotschaften – den entscheidenden Unterschied machen. Diese Folge ist ein Must-Listen für alle, die im Vertrieb Verantwortung tragen – ob als Sales Manager, Vertriebsleiter:in oder Gründer:in. Lerne, wie Empathie dich zur besseren Führungskraft macht – und dein Team zu nachhaltigem Vertriebserfolg führt.

In this episode of Sales with ASLAN, Tom Stanfill and Tab Norris explore one of the most misunderstood concepts in sales leadership: productivity. While many managers believe that tracking activity, including calls made, emails sent, and meetings logged, equals productivity, Tom and Tab reveal why this mindset often backfires. True productivity, they argue, is about outputs: meaningful customer events that create opportunities, move deals forward, or deepen loyalty. Tune in to part three to hear how to truly define productivity and set your team up for success. Discover how to focus on outputs that actually drive results, why reps must own their plans, and how frontline managers can become catalysts for change.

The transition from closer to coach is where most new sales leaders struggle. You've put in the work, made the calls, and closed the deals. Your numbers speak for themselves. You were the rainmaker. The top dog. The one everyone pointed to as the example of what a salesperson should be. Finally, you've earned the promotion you've been chasing: Sales Manager. The very habits that made you successful as a top-performing rep (moving fast, working independently, and ignoring administrative tasks) can work against you in a leadership role. Your win column is no longer personal; it's team-wide. As Kyle Jager, founder of Vendi Consulting, states in this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, “If you're transitioning from a sales or individual contributor into a leadership role, you probably are great at sales. But now you have to become a great leader. And that takes time. It takes practice, but it also takes some learning.” Why Most New Sales Leaders Fail Most new sales leaders crash and burn within their first 18 months. Not because they can't sell, but because no one ever taught them how to lead. They walk into the role thinking it's just sales, but with a nicer title and better commission overrides. So they default to what they know: chasing deals, staying in the weeds, and trying to be the hero. But leadership isn't about closing deals. It's about developing people. And if you don't make that shift fast, your team won't follow—and your results will suffer. Stop Being the Hero: Your New Job Description As an individual contributor, you were the hero of your own story. Pipeline looking thin? Hit the phones harder. Deal stalling? Jump in and save it. Commission check light? Work more hours. As a sales leader, your job is to make others the heroes of their stories.  That means: Your success is now measured by your team's results, not yours. You're only as good as the people you lead. You have to develop people, not just manage numbers. Your weakest performer deserves as much attention as your top gun. You become a multiplier. One great salesperson affects one quota. One great sales leader affects ten quotas, twenty quotas, or more. The Five Non-Negotiable Disciplines of Being a New Sales Leader 1. Master the Art of Sales Coaching Coaching is not cheerleading. It's not motivational speeches or rah-rah meetings. Real sales coaching is the systematic development of specific skills through observation, feedback, and practice. You cannot coach what you cannot see. Get in the field with your people. Listen to their calls. Watch their presentations. Most new sales leaders avoid this because it's time-intensive and uncomfortable.  Establish a consistent coaching cadence. Hold weekly one-on-ones to dig into deals, metrics, and skills.  Remember: your goal is not to create mini-versions of yourself. As a new sales leader, your goal is to help each salesperson become the best version of themselves. 2. Build and Maintain Pipeline Discipline As an individual contributor, you managed one pipeline. Now you're responsible for multiple pipelines, and pipeline discipline becomes exponentially more critical. Implement non-negotiable pipeline reviews. Weekly pipeline meetings should be sacred time where every opportunity gets analyzed. Teach your team to be ruthless about pipeline hygiene. Dead deals must be purged. Stalled opportunities need action plans or elimination. Every deal in the pipeline should have a clear next step, decision-maker involvement, and a realistic close timeline. Most importantly, never let your team's pipeline run thin. When pipeline gets weak, panic sets in, and desperate salespeople make desperate decisions.  3. Become a Hiring Machine Your success depends entirely on having the right people on your team. This means you must become obsessed with recruiting and hiring A-players. Stop hiring people you like and start hiring people who can sell.

As the sales landscape shifts under the pressure of AI, buyer behavior, and economic uncertainty, traditional sales roles are being redefined. But while most organizations focus on training reps to adapt, they often overlook the true agent of transformation: the sales manager.In our latest Sales with ASLAN podcast, Tom Stanfill and Tab Norris explore how frontline leaders can stop simply managing and start becoming catalysts for change.

You'll learn how to structure these weekly meetings so they're more than just a check-in — they're where growth actually happens.

Guest: Melissa Palmer   Guest Bio: Melissa started her sales career by accident, but quickly learned. She enjoyed connecting a customer with a solution and helping solve their problems and protect their interests. She is very good at building lasting relationships because her intention is always honest. She soon learned the best way to truly protect the customer is to also protect the company she represents; there has to be a win-win scenario, or no one wins in the long run. In management, she can do the greatest good as she works with the sales team to do just that, focusing on creating winning solutions for all. Melissa is also very energetic about what she does, and that energy is contagious.   Key Points: Career Journey into Sales & Manufacturing Melissa began working in manufacturing while studying elementary education, after passing a tape measure test at a temp agency. She started on the shop floor, moved into office roles, then customer service, sales, management, and technical roles. Melissa wanted a fresh start in sales after over 20 years at her first company, where she was often the "fixer." Within six months, she was promoted to Sales Manager due to her proactive ideas and contributions.   Sales Team Development at LS Industries Melissa feels her biggest win is unified messaging—the entire sales team aligned in language, story, and mission. She took advantage of team turnover to rebuild with aligned, enthusiastic hires. There is strong support from leadership (including the owner) who models the company's values. Focus on educating the team on purpose, customer-centric values, and collective goals.   Sales Philosophy & Leadership Set clear expectations for customers, build trust, and prevent miscommunication. As a sales manager, Melissa retrains and coaches. Leads by example (e.g., joining calls to demonstrate customer communication). Shows the real-time impact of proper communication. Success in sales depends on trust, not just rapport. Repeat business comes from being dependable.   Sales Challenges Pain points: Reps either say “no” too fast or say “yes” too easily without assessing feasibility and avoiding hard conversations with customers (especially around timelines or product complexity). Melissa's coaching approach is to educate on the long-term impact of honesty and setting realistic expectations, and emphasize quality and ROI over speed when needed.   Team Composition & Structure Melissa's current team consists of 12 people, including international, e-commerce, parts, and general sales. She describes her team as mostly “hunters” (actively seeking new business). The “Farmers” exist mainly on the parts team (inbound calls, upselling).   Talent Development Melissa has successfully transitioned shop floor workers into top-performing sales reps based on drive and hustle. People who are eager to grow and win tend to excel, even with little formal experience.   CRM Adoption & Usage The biggest challenge is getting reps to consistently use the CRM. Melissa was initially skeptical, but now sees it as essential for success, organization, and maintaining relationships.  Her approach is to minimize complexity—track only essential data, use automation (autosave communications, recurring tasks), regular reminders, training, and reinforcement, and “Trust but verify” through reporting and light oversight—not micromanagement.   Key Sales Leadership Insights Missing documentation in CRM can cost deals. Frequent retraining, reinforcement, and modeling behavior help build habits. Being transparent and reliable is more effective than always being agreeable.   Guest Links: (316) 670-6283 mpalmer@lsindustries.com www.lsindustries.com  www.winonavannorman.com  Connect on LinkedIn Connect on Facebook        About Salesology®: Conversations with Sales Leaders Download your free gift, The Salesology® Vault.
