Send us a textEver feel like a sales call was a total waste of time? This week on "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott reveal the antidote: a powerful framework built on just four essential questions that turn every conversation into a strategic advantage.They introduce the "Strategic Flight Plan," a simple yet powerful methodology that ensures every sales call is intentional and directly tied to your quota. You'll learn to ask:"Why are we stopping here?" to avoid the easy but pointless meetings and focus on genuine opportunities."Who are we going to see here?" and "What questions are we going to ask them?" to stop flying blind and start planning for a truly impactful conversation.And the most critical question of all: "Why is that information you are after important?"—the secret to tying every detail back to a bigger business outcome.This isn't just about asking questions; it's about building a feedback loop where your daily actions directly feed into your overall sales success.

Should salespeople become influencers? I'm a firm believer in this, and my guest, Michael Manzur, Founder & CEO of Flood Me Social, is back to discuss the importance of thought leadership and influencer marketing. He shares how building genuine influence and community online is the modern path to driving real results.From Audience to Community· You can't just focus on your ideal audience as an influencer—you have to build a community. · Michael explains how sales professionals can use social media platforms like LinkedIn to create meaningful conversations, provide value, and position themselves as trusted thought leaders.· In today's world of AI, influencer salespeople must do more than simply attract an audience—they need to create engagement that fosters stronger connections, leading to more opportunities and qualified leads.Common Mistakes Companies Make with Influencer Campaigns· Michael points out how many organizations jump into influencer campaigns without first aligning their business objectives with their social media and influencer marketing efforts. This often leads to confusion about goals and results.· Companies frequently delegate influencer marketing to already overloaded social media managers, causing burnout and a lack of focus on what's truly driving results.· There's often a disconnect among stakeholders, where campaigns are judged solely on surface-level metrics like impressions or comments, instead of tracking whether those efforts actually lead to sales or real business outcomes.The Impact of AI on Influencer Marketing· AI is beginning to disrupt influencer marketing by allowing brands to experiment with AI-generated creators, sometimes achieving results at a fraction of the traditional cost.· Despite technological changes, Michael noted that “the best practices don't change”—AI influencers still need effective calls to action and strong community engagement to move the needle in sales.Steps for Sales Leaders and Executives· Start by understanding best practices in influencer marketing and ensure every campaign is tied back to clearly defined business objectives and sales targets.· Participate actively in the right communities, not just by broadcasting messages but by engaging—commenting on posts, sharing insights, and building thought leadership, particularly on platforms like LinkedIn.· When running influencer campaigns, carefully select the right creators, create detailed creative briefs, outline clear calls to action, and constantly monitor for results that matter—such as actual leads or conversions, not just likes or impressions."The best way you can access influencer marketing and sales is just by sharing your thoughts in the community that you participate in." - Michael Manzur.Resources· Take a few minutes to check out the Goldman Sachs creator economy article and see for yourself how this massive shift is reshaping marketing and sales. Let this be your motivation to explore influencer campaigns, engage your communities, and make sure you're not left behind.· Revisit episode 644 of the podcast with Micahel and learn more about what he had to say about getting social on social media. · Reach out to Michael on LinkedIn for insights and consulting in faith-based, wellness, or broader B2B influencer marketing
What if the root cause of your outbound problem isn't the people but the system? In this episode, I'm joined by Gerry Hill, VP at ConnectAndSell and creator of Pipeline OS, to cut through the noise around sales development and give you a blueprint for scalable, effective pipeline generation. Gerry's seen firsthand how most sales orgs are wasting time, money, and talent by focusing on the wrong things tech stacks over structure, "charisma" over rigour, meetings over behaviour. We talk about how to fix that. From restructuring SDR workflows to leveraging gamification and agile frameworks, Gerry walks us through how to turn your outbound chaos into a repeatable engine for revenue. If you're a sales leader fed up with underperformance and overcomplication, this one's for you. How to build pipeline development systems that actually work Stop romanticising "sales artistry" and focus on the science: disciplined execution, repeatable process, and tight feedback loops. Use MECE (Mutually Exclusive, Collectively Exhaustive) thinking to segment work, avoid cross-threading, and drive clarity. Pre-build the outbound week: define lists, scripts, execution windows, and follow-ups—then let reps iterate and learn. Shift comp plans to reward behaviours, not just outcomes—introduce a points-based gamified system. Borrow from agile: treat outbound campaigns like sprints, with reps acting as scrum masters. Create systems where managers manage again—your process should do the heavy lifting on accountability and clarity. Timeline summary [01:45] – The biggest problem in sales leadership? Homogeneity and lack of shared mission. [03:32] – Why curiosity is the #1 trait Gerry hires for—and how it correlates with top performance. [05:04] – How to measure curiosity in interviews: chaos, not canned questions. [06:47] – Why complaints are a gift: they signal engagement and highlight blockers. [10:13] – Reps don't need coaches—they need missions, systems and heroes' journeys. [13:41] – Pipeline is strategy, not grunt work: why most teams are structuring it wrong. [14:32] – The power of the MECE framework in outbound design. [17:16] – Making boring-but-important work fun: points-based comp and behaviour-led incentives. [20:07] – Pipeline development = agile sprint. Here's how to run it like software engineering. [22:33] – Don't have a system? Then your tech stack is a liability, not a lever. [26:59] – Real servant leadership is not about being nice. It's about hard-edged, mission-driven service.

Learn how to capture, create, and convert demand in the AI era If you're still trying to grow your business with traditional funnels and wondering why your capture, create, convert demand strategy isn't working, you're about to discover why those old-school tactics are completely dead. In this episode, I sit down with one of the very few people who actually gets it - Megan Bowen - and we dive deep into the evolution of buyer behavior from the analog buying era all the way through to where we are now in the AI era. We explore why 96% of the buying process now happens before prospects ever talk to your sales team, and Megan breaks down her game-changing framework that's helping B2B companies completely rethink how they approach demand generation. Trust me, you're going to want to have a pen and paper handy for this one because we're going beyond the surface-level funnel nonsense that everyone else is teaching. My guest today is Megan Bowen, CEO of Refine Labs, and she's someone I have tremendous respect for because she actually eats her own pudding. With over 20 years of experience building and scaling go-to-market teams across B2B industries - including companies that achieved IPOs and acquisitions - Megan co-founded Refine Labs in 2020 with a mission to completely change how B2B companies approach their go-to-market strategies. What I love about Megan is that her leadership philosophy isn't some theoretical framework from a business book - it's rooted in real-world experience as an individual contributor, people manager, and executive leader. She understands that without customers, you don't have a business, and she's laser-focused on creating the conditions for long-term relationships and meaningful results.Retry KEY TAKEAWAYS: Volume-based funnel marketing fails because high-intent leads convert at 25% while low-intent leads convert at less than 1% Use "split the funnel analysis" to show the dramatic difference between lead quality and stop wasting budget on low-intent leads By 2030, nearly 100% of buying decisions happen before sales calls, making self-service information critical Put pricing, social proof, and competitive advantages directly on your website to eliminate buyer friction Brand marketing gets you into buyers' "day one consideration set" before they start searching for solutions Dark social is the invisible 6-12 month buying cycle where prospects research before visiting your website Create content that actually solves buyer problems rather than just promoting your services Talk to your customers regularly to understand their evolving needs and grow beyond seven figures Growing your business is hard, but it doesn't have to be. In this podcast, we will be discussing top level strategies for both growing and expanding your business beyond seven figures. The show will feature a mix of pure content and expert interviews to present key concepts and fundamental topics in a variety of different formats. We believe that this format will enable our listeners to learn the most from the show, implement more in their businesses, and get real value out of the podcast. Enjoy the show.

Send us a textIs cold calling dead? It's the most controversial question in sales, and this week on "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott tackle the debate head-on. In a classic showdown of old-school grit versus new-school tech, they lay out the powerful case for and against the cold call.On one side, they argue that cold calling is far from dead, serving as a direct, fast path to decision-makers and a powerful way to build genuine human connection in a digital world. They even explain why, in industries like medical and B2B services, the phone still reigns supreme and is an essential "boot camp" for building a new rep's pipeline and resilience.On the other side, they don't shy away from the harsh realities. They dissect the frustrations of navigating gatekeepers and voicemail graveyards, the low ROI compared to highly targeted social selling, and how the modern buyer's behavior has made cold calls feel like an interruption. They also confront the real issue of burnout and morale that constant rejection can cause.This episode is a balanced, no-BS look at both sides of the argument. Mike and Scott's signature banter will have you laughing as you re-evaluate your own prospecting strategy and decide for yourself if cold calling is a vital tool or a relic of the past.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

When Michelle Denogean joined Roadster as CMO, the company had a great product—but no one knew who they were or why their solution mattered. Digital retailing in the automotive space was still emerging, and skeptical dealerships weren't ready to dive into their innovative model. Eighteen months later, Roadster had grown its sales pipeline 5X, slashed its sales cycle by 25%, and increased branded search volume by 10X. Not only that—it was acquired by the largest tech company in auto retail for $360 million. So, what changed? Michelle led a full-scale strategic rebrand that prioritized education, positioned Roadster as the industry authority, and rebuilt alignment between sales and marketing teams to boost conversion. In today's case study, this six-time CMO (currently at Mindtrip), author of GrowUp!, and now startup advisor reveals how she built a category-defining brand and used customer-led storytelling, non-social media driven influencer strategy, and omnichannel thought leadership to 10X business.

You will have heard me say that sales is the lifeblood of a business. What's also true is that a steady flow of leads is also critical for a business to succeed. Most business owners I talk to don't have paid leads and are often looking for where their next client is going to come from.

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 question that exposes one of the most dangerous myths in modern sales: How do you set the right pipeline creation target to consistently hit quota? That's exactly what Maryellen Soriano from New Jersey asked when she called into Ask Jeb. After crushing 134% of quota in her first year selling EdTech solutions—transitioning from owning her own childcare center to selling back into that same industry—she was being told she needed 11X pipeline to maintain her success. If that number made you cringe, you're not alone. The obsession with pipeline multipliers is creating more problems than it's solving, and it's time we had an honest conversation about what actually drives predictable revenue. The Pipeline Myth That's Killing Your Forecast Most sales teams are drowning in fake pipeline, and it's destroying their ability to forecast accurately. Leadership teams, especially in tech companies, consistently miss their numbers quarter after quarter because they're obsessed with one question: "How much pipeline do we have?" The real question should be: "How clean is our pipeline?" Would you rather have 11X pipeline filled with lottery tickets, or 2X pipeline packed with qualified buyers? The answer should be obvious, but somehow we keep chasing vanity metrics instead of focusing on what converts. Here's the brutal truth: All pipeline opportunities are not equal. Two Approaches to Pipeline Creation There are two ways to approach pipeline creation, and only one of them actually works consistently. Approach #1: Maximum Daily Prospecting (The Proven Method) Don't worry about how big your pipeline is. Worry about how much prospecting you're doing, and run on a daily cadence of prospecting that maxes out the time you can spend every single day. Prospect every day, every day, every day. I have a block of time every morning for prospecting. Then I'm prospecting during any gap during the day. If there's time between meetings, I'm doing outreach. Every single day I'm prospecting to the very max that I have time to prospect. When you do this, you don't have to worry about pipeline size because it takes care of itself. You never get on the desperation roller coaster because you never stop feeding the machine. Approach #2: Pipeline Multiplier Obsession (The Broken Method) This is where leadership teams fixate on having "5X pipeline" or "11X pipeline" because they think more is better. The problem? As soon as reps think they have "enough" pipeline, they quit prospecting. Then reality hits when half those opportunities were pipe dreams. The Science of Pipeline: The Law of Replacement If you want to look at pipeline like science rather than hope, you need to understand the Law of Replacement: You need to replace opportunities in your pipeline at a rate that is equal to or greater than your closing ratio. Let me give you a real example of how this works. In a previous role, I had my numbers dialed in perfectly: I knew I needed 10 first-time appointments every week About 50% would move to follow-up appointments (5 deals) I'd close about 20% of those follow-ups (1 deal per week) It took me about 20 prospecting touches to generate 2 first-time appointments Working backwards from one closed deal per week, I knew exactly what I needed to produce in terms of prospecting activity and first-time appointments to feed my pipeline consistently. If I didn't replace the deals that fell out every single week, I'd eventually end up with nothing. What Makes a Real Pipeline Opportunity Here's where most organizations get it completely wrong. They're stuffing their CRM with anything that moves and calling it "pipeline." A real pipeline opportunity requires a conversation. It's not a form fill or a marketing lead or something someone else talked to and dumped in your CRM. You need to have qualified it yourself and made a decision that it belongs in your pipeline. At Sales Gravy,
Send us a textEver wondered why some service providers stay consistently booked while others struggle through feast-or-famine cycles? The answer lies not in luck or natural charisma, but in systematized client acquisition funnels that work specifically for one-to-one service businesses.In this revealing masterclass, I pull back the curtain on the four client acquisition funnels that have transformed my business and those of my clients. After experiencing a booming first half of the year followed by crickets in Q3, I discovered that what I had attributed to "natural momentum" was actually a system working behind the scenes. When I stopped implementing these funnels, my pipeline dried up within 90 days—teaching me the valuable lesson that what you do today directly impacts your business a quarter from now.You'll discover how to implement the End of Year Biz Dev Blitz that capitalizes on Q4 planning cycles, the Mic to Money content strategy that turns passive listeners into active leads, LinkedIn Magic for identifying and connecting with warm prospects, and the Niche Networker daily habit that keeps you top of mind with potential clients. I also reveal my companion Gateway Funnel strategy that makes it easy for prospects to say "yes" to working with you, plus proven nurturing sequences for those who don't convert immediately.What makes these funnels unique is their focus on relationship-building at scale—the foundation of successful one-to-one services. Unlike most marketing advice that's designed for course creators or product businesses, these strategies are specifically crafted for service providers who need to establish trust before making a sale. The proof? I recently generated a $170,000 pipeline in just 10 days using these exact methods.Ready to transform your client acquisition process from unpredictable to systematized?

Most brands are running marketing strategies built for a world that no longer exists. We all want to create a movement, capture demand at scale, and dominate a market. But how do we do that today?For most marketers, Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is the gold standard: highly targeted, sales-aligned, and built to close high-value accounts. Then you have Market-Based Marketing (MBM), which expands the lens to broader demand capture, category creation, and positioning at scale. But the REAL power shift to consider? Let me introduce you to Community-Based Marketing (CBM). CBM isn't just about audience segmentation; it's about integration. ABM is transactional at its core. It's focused on getting the deal, not necessarily building a lasting relationship. And in a world where trust is the currency, ABM alone isn't enough. MBM is noisy. It requires a massive investment in awareness, content, and brand positioning. And in today's world of oversaturated content, it's harder than ever to cut through. CBM is about embedding your brand into the daily lives of the people who actually matter.With ABM, you're pitching from the outside. With MBM, you're broadcasting to the masses. But with CBM, you're technically already in the room.Instead of hoping they see your ad, you're in their inbox. Instead of forcing them to book a demo, they're asking you for a call. Instead of convincing them to trust you, they're defending your brand against competitors. Doesn't that sound amazing?
