Find Lisa on LinkedIn. FRANK'S TIP: “Purpose is a North Star, it's a compass, and when it's aligned, it becomes that source of energy. It should align with where you get energy and it should align with your ability, even through volatile times, to persevere and ultimately to see sustained ongoing performance success.” LISA'S TIP: "You have really understood, at a very deep level, the way that money and meaning go together. They're not siloed. The best sales teams don't have to choose between purpose and profit; they use purpose to drive profit.”

My son Jack Sterling returns to Noob School for his fourth appearance — officially becoming the most frequent guest on the show. This one dives deep into what Jack's been up to lately — from his growing business, Cloud Hound, to his work with Upstate Warrior Solution helping veterans transition into entrepreneurship. We start off trading thoughts on our favorite podcasts and how shows like Lions Led by Donkeys and My First Million have influenced the way Jack thinks about leadership, learning, and risk-taking. Jack shares how fantasy football and analytics sparked his fascination with data — eventually leading him to pursue a master's degree in data analytics at Clemson. But the heart of the episode is about purpose — how veterans can rediscover team, mission, and structure through entrepreneurship. Jack breaks down how his program at the Rupert Hughes Veteran Center supports veterans, first responders, and their families across the Upstate by helping them navigate healthcare, education, and business ownership. He shares inspiring success stories from entrepreneurs who've come through the program — from a veteran-run medical training company using human remains for realistic field instruction, to another launching Upstate South Carolina's first paddle tennis facility. We also dig into the lessons he's learned running Cloud Hound — from ditching international business to focusing on “cyber and fiber” solutions for local clients, and why most security breaches start with people, not technology. Jack explains his live training on social engineering, phishing, and why emotional manipulation is hackers' easiest path in. To wrap it up, he shares the book that's had the biggest impact on him — “Tribe” by Sebastian Junger — and why it reframed his entire view of community, fulfillment, and the difference between the military and civilian worlds. If you've ever wondered how to find purpose after leaving a structured environment, or how to turn your skills into impact, this one's for you.

Our 250th episode! For over 5 years, we've been the No.1 podcast for automotive sales and management training. In total, we've delivered 5 days, 3 hours, 55 minutes and 33 seconds of advice, news and stories from some of the biggest names in automotive. Today, we're back for part 2 of my conversation with Chris Cormier, Mercedes-Benz Head of Sales. We're talking about what keeps customers coming back for their 2nd, 3rd and 4th car, and how to lead a veteran team without burning them out. We discuss radical transparency on numbers, a culture of two-way feedback, and “wow” test-drive moments that buyers never forget. We also get honest about AI. Where it helps (data in, insight out), and where humans still win (trust, handovers, accountability). If you're stepping into your first leadership role or looking to get the most out of a seasoned team, this one's a must-listen. Episode highlights: Celebrating a 25-year service award and multi-purchase customer relationships Making performance visible by sharing budgets, weekly results and auction data with the whole team Creating “wow” moments AI in the showroom. Useful for analysis, not a replacement for people (yet) Culture > meetings. Scrapping Monday sales meetings and easing into the week Coaching for loyalty. Star-expert handovers, name-on-the-wall deliveries, and earning forgiveness when hiccups happen Leading without ego. Servant leadership, psychological safety, and inviting constant feedback About Symco Training: Symco Training was founded in 2000 by Simon Bowkett and it was his belief that the business had to offer its clients something different. That difference was clear to Simon from his days in the dealership when he experienced many sales trainers who had all the answers, but were unable, unwilling or both to actually show the delegate how they could be implemented. It remains the ethos of the business today. You see, Symco only employ trainers that are committed to delivering not only in spiring and insightful training, but are equally as happy to demonstrate these skills and techniques with real customers in your own showroom. We believe in order for sales training to be effective and in Simon's words ‘real world', it needs to be tried and tested in the only place it matters the showroom floor. There is no room for theory when your goals are for your team to sell more cars, hours or parts and retain more profit. In dealerships around the world the focus applied by many of the sales executives is to try and sell a deal. Symco specialise in getting your teams to focus on selling themselves, the product and then supporting this with the deal. To find out more visit: www.symcotraining.co.uk

Your sales team has the tools. They know the pitch. The CRM is full of leads. So why are half your reps still missing quota? Randy Wilinski spent 15 years building high-performance sales teams before joining our training team at Sales Gravy. His answer to this question cuts through the usual explanations about territory problems or skill gaps. The real issue? Most sales leaders are managing activity instead of developing people. They're applying pressure instead of addressing the mental blocks that sabotage performance before reps ever pick up the phone. The Real Problem Holding Back Sales Teams Walk into any sales bullpen and you'll hear the same beliefs on repeat: “I'm not good at cold calling.” “Nobody wants to hear from me.” “I don't know if I can hit these numbers.” Most leaders dismiss this as an attitude problem or lack of confidence. So they fire up the team with a motivational speech, send everyone back to their desks—and nothing changes. Here's what's being missed: These aren't attitude problems. They're belief systems that determine behavior. And behavior determines results. Nobody was born knowing how to sell. Your top performer didn't start with the ability to handle objections or close deals. They learned it. But the reps who believe they can't learn it won't put in the work to improve. They'll make half the calls, avoid the hard conversations, and prove themselves right. The real work of building elite performers is getting inside your reps' heads and rooting out the thought processes that are killing their performance. That's where true coaching separates managers from leaders. Why One-on-One Coaching Unlocks Growth Group training builds skill, but addressing mental blocks requires one-on-one coaching—where you can dig into patterns, ask uncomfortable questions, and challenge unhelpful thinking. Why does this rep always sabotage themselves right before closing a big deal? Where did this idea that "people don't like being sold to" come from? What past failure is creating this blind spot? Good coaches shine a light on the patterns that people fail to recognize or flat-out avoid. They name the behavior that's been there all along, but no one wanted to confront. Awareness alone doesn't create change. Your rep can have that breakthrough moment where they realize they are the problem, and still fall back into the same habits. Real coaching means holding people accountable to the change they commit to making. It means checking in, following up, and not letting them slide back into old patterns when things get uncomfortable. That's the difference between feel-good conversations and actual performance improvement. The Coaching Gap in Sales Leadership Most sales leaders don't actually coach. They manage activity, review numbers, and deliver pep talks. But managing metrics does not build high-performance sales teams. Developing people does. Coaching starts with curiosity. It means sitting down one-on-one and asking questions that uncover what is really holding a rep back. Not "why didn't you make enough calls?" but "what made those calls hard to make?" Sometimes the barrier is a belief. Other times, it is a communication issue between the rep and the leader. If you do not understand how each person communicates and processes feedback, you will keep missing the mark. When you tailor your coaching to match how a rep thinks and responds, conversations become more productive and performance starts to shift. That is how coaching turns from another meeting on the calendar into a catalyst for real growth. Creating an Environment Where New Reps Actually Develop The best thing you can do for your team is lower the pressure on outcomes and increase the focus on process. This doesn't mean accepting mediocrity—it means being relentless about the activities while being patient with the results. Your new reps are going to struggle. It's a reality you have to accept,
