[03:56] We learn about Dan's many jobs until he read Tim Ferriss's book and started thinking about alternatives. [04:55] He mostly worked in agencies until he started Sales Schema as a fractional new business team. [06:18] His tendency is to go to the past to figure out the future. [07:03] he's a believer in building energy through meaning. He's a fan of Viktor Frankl's book, Man's Search For Meaning. [08:55] The advantage of being able to look at history and understand why something does or doesn't work. [09:55] Figuring out why something is no longer working.  [11:26] What has changed with the people you're interacting with? Historically we're kind of in a "trust recession". [13:25] The internet and information technology has delivered a lot for us, but we don't know how much more value there is left to be extracted. [14:47] The stuff that's going to be valuable is the stuff that has been valuable. Such as things that have been scarce. [16:22] When you know we're in a "trust recession" you need to find a way to differentiate yourself. Go back to what scares like commonality. [17:47] The things that people want long-term change over time. [19:06] Pay attention to trends and notice how they are the same or different from past trends. [22:14] Nikki says that rapport builds relationships and people want to buy from people who they trust and have a relationship and connection. [24:15] Dan gives an example of hybrid sales. They have video content which they include with their sales process. [27:19] The advantages of repelling people who aren't in alignment as fast as possible. [29:10] Really paying attention to trends. Just because it worked in the past doesn't mean it's going to work now. Pay attention to what your clients say and what they're looking for. [30:52] Using secret languages to speak with prospects. [34:08] The importance of paying attention to language. Words matter. [36:43] Most of what we see now is downstream of technology. The order seems to be a scientific breakthrough, to technology, to economy, to culture. [39:32] Dan's 15-month-old son brings him joy. He also hosted a College radio show and was the hip hop director for a Santa Cruz radio station. [40:32] His business is pivoting to a training model. They also have a new content channel, and they're messing around with a lot of new tools.    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    Find Dan: Dan Englander - Sales Schema Dan@SalesSchema.com The Digital Agency Growth Podcast Relationship Sales at Scale: How to Find Your Virtual Tribe and Reliably Grow Your Professional Service Business Mastering Account Management: 102 Steps for Increasing Sales, Serving Your Customers Better, and Working Less The B2B Sales Blueprint: A Hands-On Guide to Generating More Leads, Closing More Deals, and Working Less Do You Know Any Secret Languages?

This week our host Brandi Starr is joined by Dan Englander, CEO and founder of Sales Schema. Meet Dan Englander, a seasoned expert in the realm of B2B sales and account management. With a wealth of experience from leading new business efforts at Idea Rocket to authoring acclaimed books on sales strategies, Dan has seen it all.  In this episode of Revenue Rehab, Brandi and Dan dive into the intricacies of selling in low-trust environments. Together, they unpack the challenges posed by today's competitive landscape and information overload, probing into strategies to de-risk sales conversations and foster meaningful connections. Tune in as they explore innovative approaches for complex sales, the importance of identifying trust-rich networks, and the evolving interplay between sales and marketing departments. Plus, Dan offers practical insight on navigating the world of personalized outreach at scale, making this episode a must-listen for any revenue leader looking to enhance their engagement tactics.   Bullet Points of Key Topics + Chapter Markers:   Topic #1 Defining Low-Trust Environments in B2B Sales [07:15]  Understanding Market Skepticism:  Dan Englander explains the challenges posed by low-trust environments. “In today's B2B sales landscape, trust is at an all-time low due to the sheer amount of competition and information overload. COVID-19 has only exacerbated this, pushing everyone into remote work, making it harder to build genuine connections."  Topic #2 Strategies for Selling in Low-Trust Environments [12:45]  Low-Trust Sales Strategies:  Dan discusses the difficulty of selling in a market saturated with information and options. "In a low-trust environment, the key is to de-risk the conversation. You have to build initial engagements around forming connections and finding commonality rather than just pushing value immediately."  Topic #3 The Need for Personalized Outreach in Sales [29:52]  Effective Outreach Techniques:  Dan talks about the faults of traditional sales methods and the importance of personalization. "Cold outreach isn't effective anymore. We have to find areas where trust already exists and leverage those relationships. It's about having knowledgeable team members making those calls and creating a systematic yet personal approach to outreach."  This structure maintains the authoritative yet conversational tone, encapsulating key insights shared by Brandi Starr and Dan Englander while providing clear chapter markers for listener convenience.  What's One Thing You Can Do Today  Dan's ‘One Thing' is to focus on ensuring the right people are executing tasks. “Just make sure that your team members are trained, motivated, and properly assigned. This means reviewing who is doing what and ensuring that everyone is working in roles that leverage their strengths and keep them engaged. By aligning the right people with the right tasks, you're setting up your team for success, making your outreach efforts more effective, and ultimately driving better results.”   Buzzword Banishment  Buzzword Banishment: Dan's Buzzword to Banish is "virtual assistant." Dan wants to banish it because he finds it meaningless due to the global availability of talent and expertise, making everyone essentially virtual.  Links:  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sales-schema/?viewAsMember=true  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/salesschema  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaFCR8Z1_y7xuBuQyVe899i5WjaQWG6Y6  Podcast: https://www.salesschema.com/podcast/  Subscribe, listen, and rate/review Revenue Rehab Podcast on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Google Podcasts , Amazon Music, or iHeart Radio and find more episodes on our website RevenueRehab.live

I'm thrilled to have Dan Englander as our guest expert on this episode of Sell With Authority. Dan is the CEO and Founder of Sales Schema, a fractional new business team for marketing agencies. He's also the host of The Digital Agency Growth Podcast and the author of “Relationship Sales at Scale.” Dan's book perfectly captures one of the biggest challenges agency owners and their teams face when it comes to business development — how to open doors efficiently, build meaningful relationships, and fill your sales pipeline without getting bogged down by a slow, one-by-one approach. How do you balance personalization with scale? This is exactly where Dan shines. “Building trust can be challenging, but the good news is that going in cold is no longer necessary. Your outreach does not have to summit a mountain but rather walk over a small hill — since the goal is not to build the trust needed to close a deal — but just enough to de-risk a conversation and create a relationship.” We dive into this core concept from his book — how balancing personalization and scale is not only possible, but essential.

How do you use relationships to build trust in agency sales? Let's bring on today's guest, Dan Englander, to answer the question. In addition to authoring a book titled Relationship Sales at Scale, Dan is an expert in helping agencies grow through relationships. He runs Sales Schema, a boutique sales company he founded in 2014, which leans into leveraging relationships to grow trust in the sales process. And, the proof is in the pudding. Firms that use Dan's relationship-based approach see 5-10x ROI, on average. According to Dan, the first step of building a high-converting and predictable pipeline begins and ends with tasteful and targeted outreach. Today, it's easy for a B2B company or agency to get swept away by all the sales tools, technology, and automation available. The reality is that people respond far better to an approach that leans on a human touch and shared commonalities instead of mindless optimization. Dan joins the show to share what he's learned generating millions of dollars in revenue for 100s of clients with his relationship-based approach to business development. He shares exactly how and when to leverage common ground and your network to make personal connections that convert. Here's what Corey and Dan discuss in this episode: - Challenges around converting in the sales funnel. - Leaning into relationships to open doors to prospects. - List-building best practices. - How to be specific with your ICP. Here are some actionable key takeaways for agency founders: - Referrals can get you from zero to one but not beyond. - If you're not converting top-of-funnel, it's usually a case of lack of trust. - Automation isn't compelling, relationships are. - Anyone can do outreach, not just the CEO. - When it comes to list-building, less is more. - How to systematize relationship sales.

Would you like to attract more clients with outbound sales? Do you need to build a successful sales team that gets results? Today's guest is a sales expert who helps agency owners get out of sales and build a successful sales team. It's all about building consistency and using your network to create relationships that will help you grow your agency. Dan Englander is the CEO and founder of Sales Schema, a B2B agency that secures ideal prospect relationships. His team goes out to the market and helps clients get meetings and focus on new business. Earlier in his career, he led new business for a creative services company and helped them get to seven figures. After starting his agency in 2014, he has learned a lot about how companies go after new business. More recently, he shares his perspective on sales and how to improve at it in his new book, Relationship Sales at Scale. In this episode, we'll discuss: How agencies can do better at outbound sales. Using your network to get to your ideal clients. What works when it comes to finding and training salespeople.

Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio | Stitcher | Radio FM When is the Right Time to Transition Out of Sales? Transitioning out of sales requires two main steps, according to Dan: who's doing what and developing consistencies in the sales process. We all fall into the trap of dedicating too much time and energy to clients and none to your agency. Once you stop focusing on sales you'll be on another level to focus on growing your agency. If you're an agency owner and the salesperson, think about spending half your time on sales. Eventually, get yourself to the point where you can just focus on the top of the funnel and have someone help set meetings. Clear the other half of your time to focus on your agency.  Do this with the mindset of gradually getting out of sales altogether. Agency owners commonly try to hang on to sales because they feel clients only want to talk to them. That's a misconception, considering how many owners have managed to grow their agencies to massive proportions by getting out of sales. It's not the easiest thing to do, but once you have a repeatable sales process it becomes easier to get someone else in that seat. Where do some agency owners go wrong with this transition? They jump to it too early before figuring out the repeatable process. They just throw a salesperson into it the mix and expect them to figure it out. That sets them up for failure and, once they do, it is easy to convince yourself that you're the only one that can handle sales successfully. How to Create a Repeatable Sales Process Agency owners struggle, sometimes for years, to find the right salesperson and this has a lot to do with having the right systems in place. Dan likes to break it down into a process where you start at the very top of the funnel. Think about how you're getting meetings. Break down your conversion process from the first appointment to the proposal. Follow that with breaking down the process from proposal to close. Of course, this may vary depending on how complex your sales process is -- documenting everything is key in order to set up your salesperson for success. When it comes to how to get meetings, Dan and his team find outbound is a really good way to do it. Whatever you're selling it stands to reason that your market will be relatively small. Your target audience is not everyone in the world so you don't have to build a massive inbound funnel. There are really a finite number of relationships you can build in your area. With outbound, you can start building those relationships before the client actually has a need. Then you are top of mind when the need is there. Building Relationships With Outbound Sales One of the things Dan's agency does for clients is referral-driven campaigns where they make a list of ideal clients and identify who could introduce them to those clients. Basically, they identify friends of friends, narrow them down to contacts in the first degree and ask for an introduction to someone in their network. A lot of people have no problem making that connection once you're upfront about what you want. They usually start with an accounts-based list of thousands of companies. Instead of trying to find the golden company that you may want to work with but have no meaningful connection to, find a number of companies you're actually connected with. The connection you make as a result might not get you a campaign that lasts very long, but it will help you get that level of trust in order to get you a referral. What Works When it Comes to Finding Salespeople? This is something Dan still struggles with to this day. Being a sales hirer is part of your job as an agency owner and part of getting out of sales. You have to dedicate part of your time to finding the right salesperson and training them because you're essentially investing in someone that's going to help your agency grow. Dan's agency gives the hiring funnel as much importance as the sales funnel. Also, to weed out candidates that are ultimately not a right fit Dan usually asks for video interviews. It's a way to see how invested the candidate is and avoid wasting time on long interviews in-person interviews. Once he's made that hire, he invests in sales training every week. New team members do role-playing exercises and listen to sales calls every day to get ready. It is a lot of work, he admits, but it is worth it. Another good tip is to not assume the person is perfect for the job after a good interview. Ask the candidate to make a 90-day plan and see if what they present truly aligns with what you need. Finally, don't underestimate the importance of not just hiring the right person for the job. It's equally important to put together the right framework for your salesperson to model, evaluate, and make new recommendations on. How to Face Client's Skepticism The hardest part of sales is getting someone to agree to take your call. Once you've done that, they are now investing time. They would not be spending time in that conversation if they didn't have a specific need. Just make sure the conversation flows in a way the client is comfortable and feels heard. Spend more time listening than talking. Give space to ask questions and don't make the prospect feel interrogated. Don't underestimate the importance of asking the right questions to pull the client in. A lot of salespeople tend to push a lot and makes people feel they have to push back. It's a completely different thing to present yourself as the trusted advisor through the right questions. Want the Support of Amazing Digital Agency Owners?

My guest this week on the Progressive Agency Podcast, Dan Englander, highlights the importance of learning to hire staff effectively, and shares why the ‘hire fast, fire fast' philosophy just doesn't work. He offers advice on how to reframe your thinking when it comes to hiring new talent, and how that will ultimately save your agency money in the long run. Personalizing Critical Touchpoints Dan describes his early experiences in the agency space, how he got caught in the sales-client-service shuffle, the lessons he learned, and why he started Sales Schema. He highlights his agency's evolution from cold outreach to personalizing their service where it really matters. We also discuss the specifics of why there's more power in the squad and how fractional teams allow businesses to leverage a vast range of expertise, particularly in a tight labor market. The Profit First Model Dan shares with us how he made sense of cash flow in his business by doing a version of the profit first model and why he has found it helpful. If you put tax and profit away first, it makes it much simpler to judge cash flow. Listen to the episode to learn why Dan believes you have to be aware of the impact of the economy on your cash flow.

Sales Schema's ideology is relationship sales at scale. When Dan Englander created Sales Schema, it was to create a marketing agency in the B2B sector. Dan had a sales and marketing background for companies looking to scale to six and seven figures. Dan knew that Sales Schema needed a unique approach to be successful. The days of cold outreach were no longer working. Join us today on the One Big Tip podcast, and hear why a personal marketing approach is the best way to grow your business in the B2B sector, and hear how Sales Schema knocks it out of the park for its clients utilizing a warm outreach and a creative campaign. Sales Schema started as a business development consultancy for marketing agencies. Early on, the company's purpose was to help businesses grow through standard marketing strategy. But the game changed. It wasn't enough to be the cool kid on the block, so Sales Schema changed its focus. Today, they are an agency that helps their clients in the B2B space keep their pipeline full by reaching out to the busy, often skeptical decision-makers using creative and personal campaigns. Their goal is not to close the deal on the first conversation instead build a relationship between decision-makers. They believe in the value of relationships and strengthening them based on commonalities between client and consumer, giving the skeptical decision-makers on Linkedin a reason to remember the message. The process begins with knowing who your target is. This is crucial, as you will know their pain point and how to alleviate it. The next step is to create a warm and personal outreach campaign designed with them in mind. Good copy is an essential part of outreach. In the B2B context, the first barrier that needs to be crossed is just getting a conversation started. That's precisely what Sales Schema focuses on. We do the entire process for our clients utilizing a turnkey model. We create conversations and opportunities to begin business transactions. Over the years, we changed the industry framework from feast or famine to a pipeline full of potential warm leads for our clients. We found this framework to be the best way to generate leads. Entrepreneurs wear many hats, especially when they are solopreneurs. They need to understand the value of each step, from copywriting and research to outreach.  When they can't tackle it alone, Sales Schema is there to create their opportunity. Building relationships is the best way to close sales, which is the lifeline of every business.

Brands must build a relationship that instills trust so that a prospect will become a lead.Once you have a quality lead it is time for sales to continue building the relationship.  You will not deepen a relationship by sending out general sales messages that are more concerned about quantity over quality.In this episode, I had the opportunity to talk with Dan Englander, CEO & Founder of Sales Schema.During our conversation we discussed:1) Why do salespeople need to rethink what they are doing in order to stand out from the noise?2) How do you find the right balance between personalization and scale in sales?3) What is the best strategy for going outside of referrals and personal networks to find new business?And then at the end, we heard exciting news about a NEW book Dan has coming out:  Relationship Sales at Scale.Can't wait?  Lucky for you here is a sneak peek - https://www.salesschema.com/a-sneak-peek-at-relationship-sales-at-scale-the-book/I cannot stress it enough - brands must STOP drowning their prospects with broad general marketing and sales messages.If you have any other questions about relationship building or for more information about how to find quality marketing data to reach your ideal niche client, contact me, Donna Peterson, at 860-210-8088 or dpeterson@worldinnovators.com.Visit our website at http://www.worldinnovators.com

Outsourcing and hiring new talent is a natural outgrowth of scaling a business. But how can a small or mid-sized company do this process effectively while retaining a full-funnel? In today's episode of Aligned, Sean is joined by the founder of Sales Schema, Dan Englander, to hear his thoughts on the issue.  There is a proper time to hire: With the caveat that his domain space is marketing and advertising, the first order of operations is getting client work off your plate. From there, establish a process for teeing up prospecting opportunities. When accommodating people on your team with defined roles, once a process is in place for getting prospects, invest money in a closer. The skillset required to get a skeptical person to talk to you is numerous: creativity, strategy, systems and operations thinking (and a good amount of hustle and follow-up.)  Dan's philosophy is that it takes more than one person to make the process work. Identifying your value: To lower risks in hiring, figure out where your value lies. Oftentimes an agency has never had to figure that out because they rely solely on the strength of referral. So how do you identify value? Through positioning and experience. Companies frequently outsource something for the partnership to end up failing. Why? Because that company is doing the same repeated action done by different companies. While that still works if you're selling something new, it won't work forever. Use the trust and relationships you've built to grow. Realize when you hire a salesperson, you are now a part-time sales trainer. You can't just give collateral and expect them to succeed. Dunbar's Number is the psychological research that discusses someone's circle of influence informs our outreach. There's a difference between asking for an introduction and manipulating people into giving referrals. Mapping connections and doing it at scale is what leads to success. Clients typically do this anyway, but it's just done somewhat haphazardly. What if you can figure out the people you already know in specific accounts? All sales and marketing is about change. Social liberation elevates and allows someone unaware of a need for change to consider it. Breakthrough Advertising from the 60s is a hard-to-find book, but it addresses the stages of marketing sophistication.  For more great content from Dan, visit salesschema.com, check out his podcast (The Digital Agency Growth Podcast), or email him at dale@salesscema.com.

Power Quote: "The future is already here – it's just not evenly distributed." - William Gibson Personal Story and Lessons: Business world is not completely rational. Dan shares a story of how one little change to the copy of an email campaign translated to a big jump in open and click and signup metrics. "We don't always know what is going to work and it's probably not the thing that we predict". Balance between customization and automation for campaigns.
