Nancy Bleeke joins the podcast to talk all about the power of sales in one of my favorite recent conversations! While she's always been entrepreneurial, finding a passion in sales was never the plan. Who would ever want to be “in sales”? she thought. Yet, she found her calling helping people who also never saw themselves in sales, succeed in selling! With a focus on making conversations productive for everyone involved, her Genuine® branded training modules guide professionals to fill their funnel, convert prospects efficiently, and retain loyal clients with a comfortable, collaborative approach. Sales Pro Insider has guided many relationship-driven people in their selling efforts while encouraging them to remain genuine and service focused. She especially enjoys working alongside the “smaller guys” to ensure they receive a healthy ROI on their investment in equipping their businesses to succeed.
A lot of advisors struggle with sales. Some fear being too aggressive Others are worried they'll become too busy. But is this stemming from a deeper fear of success? On today's episode, we are joined by the founder of Sales Pro Insider, author, and speaker, Nancy Bleeke. Originally starting her journey in financial services, she has transitioned into training advisors and their staff at sales. A lot of advisors don't consider themselves as natural salespeople and Nancy is helping them become more skilled and confident throughout the industry. Nancy sees balance as a personal decision that we have to consciously make. Balance to one person is going to look different to another. You can't achieve balance until you define what balance looks like inside of your own life. If you enjoy your job, as many advisors do, it can be difficult to intentionally build those boundaries. Nancy has seen advisors struggle with balancing the roles and responsibilities of their business, something that flows into their personal lives as well. Advisors are in this industry to help people. But in order to help clients, you have to convince them to make the confident decision to invest in your services. Sales is an essential part of the financial industry. With Nancy, we discuss why advisors struggle with sales and how it's impacting their journey to find balance. Join us today as we further discuss: Her struggles with balance and how she had to reset her life How advisors struggle with balance inside of their business Why do some advisors struggle with sales and success?

Today we’re going to talk about a topic that makes many financial advisors cringe: sales. But despite the negative reaction many people within the industry have to this topic, my guest today is here to explain why “sales” actually isn’t a dirty word. Nancy Bleeke is the founder of Sales Pro Insider, a training platform for financial advisors that teaches how to better turn prospects into actual clients, and she’s here today to share how to take a comfortable and ethical approach to selling that really works. In this episode, Nancy shares her somewhat nontraditional sales training approach that simply focuses on having a structure to conversations with prospects to ultimately help them make a decision or take an action at the end. Listen in to hear her expert advice for how to talk to both prospects and clients using the WIIFT™ structure—which is both focusing on what’s in it for them and a five-step conversation process—the big mistakes many financial advisors make that scare away potential clients, and what it takes to increase both your comfort level and the comfort level of your prospects when it comes to selling.
