Whether you're a rep, a sales leader, or a founder, this is a playbook for showing up like a pro.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:44] Preparation Builds Confidence: Rowell shares how structured pre-call prep creates clarity and control in high-stakes sales interactions.[00:01:06] Hypothesize Before You Call: Great reps make educated assumptions about the buyer's needs before they ever get on the phone.[00:02:21] Preparation Is the Message: How you prep shows who you are and how you'll show up for the customer.[00:02:57] Cold Calls Shouldn't Be Cold: Transform outreach by researching industries, personas, and proof points before dialing.[00:04:09] Sales Is a High-Performance Sport: Like elite athletes, the best reps obsessively prepare to perform at their peak.[00:05:31] Preparation Builds Trust Early: First impressions matter—showing up prepared signals reliability.[00:06:24] Presence Over Performance: When you're prepped, you can truly listen and be present instead of trying to sound “interesting.[00:07:29] Process Equals Speed: Rowell unpacks how process-driven sales teams outpace the competition by removing guesswork and bottlenecks[00:08:34] Apply Process to Entrepreneurship: From startup KPIs to sales funnels, the mindset of structure translates directly to building a business.QUOTES[00:00:44] “Process equals speed.

That prep never stops being valuable.”[00:02:57] “They shouldn't be cold calls. They should be warm calls because you should figure out ways to make them warm.[00:04:09] “If you're an enterprise rep, that's your NFL. You should be prepping like Patrick Mahomes watches film.[00:05:55] “Preparation allows you to be present, not scrambling to sound interesting.[00:06:45] “When you're prepared, you're not performing. You're just being yourself—and that's when trust is built.[00:08:34] “Dialing in a process and measuring success—whether in sales or startups—gives you repeatable wins.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/pinned-golf-making-the-shift-from-sales-to-entrepreneurshipEnjoying the podcast?

Send us a textIn this energizing episode of "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott delve into the often-underestimated superpower of passion in the world of sales. We explore how genuine enthusiasm for what you sell can be a game-changer, influencing trust, resilience, and ultimately, your success. We break down four key ways passion fuels sales excellence:Passion Instantly Increases Trust: We discuss how genuine excitement about your product or service is contagious and immediately builds rapport and trust with prospects. When your belief shines through, it reassures potential customers that you are not just trying to make a sale, but that you truly believe in what you offer. This authenticity is a powerful trust-builder.Your Persistence and Resilience Go Up Proportionally to Your Passion: We explore how passion acts as an internal engine, driving your persistence in the face of rejection and fueling your resilience when deals don't go your way. When you genuinely care about what you're selling, setbacks become less discouraging and more like opportunities to learn and improve. Your passion becomes your unwavering motivation.Passion Fuels Continual Improvement: We highlight how a deep passion for your product or industry naturally leads to a desire for continuous learning and improvement. You're more likely to stay informed, seek out new knowledge, and refine your sales techniques when you are genuinely invested in what you do. This proactive approach keeps you ahead of the curve and enhances your effectiveness.People Like Speaking with People Who Are Passionate About a Specific Topic: We emphasize the simple human truth that enthusiasm is engaging. Prospects are more likely to be receptive and even excited when speaking with someone who genuinely loves what they do. Your passion becomes a point of connection and makes the entire sales interaction more positive and memorable.The key takeaway is that while passion is powerful, it needs to be focused and coupled with perspective. Understanding your audience and tailoring your enthusiasm to their needs is crucial. This episode provides insights on how to cultivate and effectively channel your passion to become a more influential and successful sales professional.Scott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

On this episode of Noob School, I sit down with Monica Seitz—a sharp young professional who's already packing a lot of experience and perspective into the early stages of her sales career. Monica grew up on a farm in Kentucky, where she spent her early years showing horses and getting her first hands-on experience with sales at horse auctions. That kind of upbringing tends to shape a person—teaching responsibility, communication, and the art of the deal long before any formal training. Monica took those early lessons with her to Furman University, where she studied Sales and got involved with the Hill Institute. Along the way, she also ran track, spent a semester abroad in Barcelona, and started carving out her path in the medical and health sales space. We talk about how shadowing her uncle—a surgeon—opened her eyes to the world of medical device sales, and why she's now setting her sights on Australia to launch the next chapter of her career. Monica also shares some of the small but meaningful moments that helped shape her direction—including a few pieces of advice I gave her early on. She's thoughtful, driven, and not afraid to take big swings. Whether you're exploring a future in sales or just like hearing how real careers get built, Monica's story is a great example of how early experiences, global exposure, and curiosity can combine into something exciting.Get your sales in rhythm with The Sterling Method: https://SterlingSales.co I'm going to be sharing my secrets on all my social channels, but if you want them all at your fingertips, start with my book, Sales for Noobs: https://amzn.to/3tiaxsL Subscribe to our newsletter today: https://bit.ly/3Ned5kL #SalesTraining #B2BSales #SalesExcellence #SalesStrategy #BusinessGrowth #SalesLeadership #SalesSuccess #SalesCoaching #SalesSkills #SalesInnovation #SalesTips #SalesPerformance #SalesTransformation #SalesTeamDevelopment #SalesMotivation #SalesEnablement #SalesGoals #SalesExpertise #SalesInsights #SalesTrends#salestrends

Anytime there is any sort of issue in your business that's not quite going the way it should, don't sabotage your sales success. Instead, just ask yourself, is this because the process that I have in place is not working? Or is it because the person who is supposed to be following the process just didn't do it? David: Hi, and welcome back. In today's episode, co-host Kevin Rosenquist and will be discussing How Businesses Sabotage their Sales. Welcome back, Kevin. Kevin: Good to see you, David. How you been? David: Been doing great. It's good to see you too. Kevin: Yeah, for sure. I'm excited to talk about this. So, sabotaging sales, what do you mean by that, when you say businesses are sabotaging their sales? David: You know, I had some experiences recently and I'm like, did they intend to do this? Is this what they were trying to do? Did they set out to do this when they were doing it. One of the experiences I had recently was I was going to buy a pair of earbuds, right? And there's a particular brand of earbuds that I like. It's not the ones that would normally leap to mind. It's another one. But a good brand, they work really well. And I got a text from them saying that they were having a sale. And I was like, okay, cool. Maybe I'll buy an extra pair of earbuds even though I don't need them. And so in the link that they sent me, they said, click through and you get 35% off. I'm like, cool. So I click through the link and it takes me to a picture of what I think are the earbuds that they're selling, and it says 20% off, with a certain promo code. And I'm like, okay, well I'm looking for the 35% off, but there was a different promo code in the text, so I'm like, okay, I'll just plug the correct promo code and it'll work. Right? So finally figured out how to do that. No, it said this is not applicable to this particular product. So I'm like, okay. But they had some sort of chat person or chat being or chat AI, I don't know what it was. Kevin: Chat AI agent. Yeah. David: Yeah. Something not quite what I thought it might be, but. I thought, okay, well I'll ask the question. And none of the answers that I got were relevant to what I was asking. And I was like, I'm here. I've got my wallet open. Kevin: I'm ready to buy! David: I want to buy exactly the thing that you sent me a text to, and you're making it hard. Why are you making it so hard? Kevin: Yeah. David: And it replied quickly to a lot of questions and then, it was just like ghosting. It's like, okay, I didn't hear anything back. So I'm like, I'm like, are you AI? And I didn't get an answer. I thought if it was AI, it would at least tell me it was AI. So, I didn't get to order that day. The next day I tried again. I actually reached out to their customer support, had another non-experience there. But eventually I was able to figure out that apparently there were two sets of this earbud in a similar color, and the link took you to the wrong one and applied the wrong link. And so that's why it was saying it was wrong. And I didn't care about the color. I was like, I wouldn't have normally bought this color, but it was 35% off, so I was like... Kevin: Yeah, yeah, whatever. David: Right. Kevin: Earbuds. David: Anyway, long story short is what should have taken three to five minutes and been an exceptional experience took a whole lot longer and diminished my passion for this particular product. So I thought, you know, there are a lot of businesses that do this sort of thing, and the words that leap to my mind is that they're sabotaging their own sales, which is kind of the purpose of this conversation. Not for me to vent, but for us to talk about what businesses can do about it. Kevin: Well, I'm glad you got that off your chest, David. David: Thanks. Kevin: It's probably something you needed to do. David: I feel a lot better. Kevin: Good, good, good. Well,

“I believe that wherever there is mastery, coaching is occurring, and whenever coaching is done, mastery will be the outcome.” – Andrea Lee Check Out These Highlights:  Part of the deal for clients that hire me is that there has to be a coaching component after we train the employees. Suppose the organization has a coaching program, great. If not, I can share my program to help and support the change in behaviors the organization seeks, get the new behaviors and habits to stick, and ultimately grow sales because changing behaviors will always drive the numbers or results. Yet, I have found that most leaders—80%—feel that coaching is too hard, they are unsure how to do it, and they feel it's too time-consuming. The reality is that without coaching, we are wasting so much time, energy, and revenue growth. Showing up for your clients is not about grand gestures. It's about consistency, persistence, and respect in all your follow-ups, conversations, and outreach. There must be monthly detailed coaching to create this consistency and focus.

Wherever you are in your sales journey, you need a mentor—now.  If you're serious about becoming a top performer or want to stay at the top of your game, you need more than just grit and determination. You need a guide. A mentor who's been through the fire and who can help you avoid costly mistakes.  Sales expert Tony Morris stands behind the power of mentorship and the impact it can have on confidence in The Sales Gravy Podcast. Sales is about 80% confidence—you can't afford to miss out. The truth is, the best salespeople aren't born—they're built. And behind almost every top closer is a mentor who showed them the ropes. https://youtu.be/QqXHY7ONs_k Mentorship Means a Better You. Period. Let's imagine you're new to sales. Or you've got some time under your belt. Or maybe you're a seasoned vet. What do you all have in common? You all need a mentor. Most salespeople fail not because they lack talent, but because they try to figure everything out on their own. They treat sales like a solo sport when it's really a team effort. When It's All Going Wrong, You Need Help Take the case of Paul—fresh out of college and hungry to make a name for himself in sales. He had the energy and the drive, but he was missing something critical: guidance.  Paul made call after call, sent countless emails, and chased leads relentlessly. But his close rate was abysmal.  He'd get shut down early, lose deals at the negotiation table, and get ghosted by prospects who had initially shown interest. But sales isn't just about following a script—it's about reading the room.  Timing, tone, objection handling, and reading the prospect's emotional state. That's where a mentor comes in. Advice from a Veteran is Key After months of frustration, Paul finally got paired with Mark. Mark was a legend—consistently at the top of the leaderboard, always winning deals that seemed impossible.  Mark had also been in the trenches. He'd faced every objection and lost more deals than Paul had even pitched. Mark didn't give Paul a playbook—he gave him a framework. He taught Paul how to listen instead of just hearing. He showed him how to control the flow of a conversation and ask better questions.  Mark didn't just give Paul advice.
