No warning, just a moment that forced me to change direction. And that's exactly what business can feel like today. Things shift quickly, and we need to be ready to pivot.That moment reminded me just how valuable a tool like ChatGPT can be — not for flashy gimmicks, but for real, day-to-day support. In this episode, I share exactly how I used ChatGPT over the past week to stay sharp, save time, and better support clients.You'll hear how I used ChatGPT to:• Research prospects and uncover insights that led to more personalized outreach• Compare LMS platforms to guide a client's decision• Refine an article for an industry publication to sound more helpful, not salesy• Align branding visuals and promotions for a consistent message• Explore topics like stem cell therapy to stay informed and sharp3 Actionable Steps to Try This Week: Use it for research: Ask ChatGPT to break down a company, audience, or trend in plain English. Test it on something small: Try rewriting one email or LinkedIn post — you'll be surprised how much time it saves. Build it into your prep routine: Whether you're heading into a meeting or presentation, let ChatGPT help you get clear and confident.At World Innovators, we believe in sharing what actually works — not what sounds trendy.

Send us a textIn this essential episode of "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott dive deep into the art of transforming common sales objections from roadblocks into stepping stones. They break down three of the most frequent objections sales reps face, providing you with battle-tested responses that not only neutralize the concern but also advance the sale:The Price/Cost Objection: "It's too expensive." Mike and Scott explain why this often isn't about the actual dollar amount, but about perceived value. They'll teach you how to reframe the conversation, instantly increasing trust by acknowledging their concern. Then, pivot to demonstrating return on investment (ROI) and how your solution truly saves time/money, moving the discussion to a compelling ROI-focused breakdown.The Need Objection: "We're doing fine without it." This objection often stems from a lack of awareness of untapped potential. Mike and Scott show you how to respond with respect and curiosity, avoiding defensiveness. The key is to acknowledge their current success while gently introducing the idea of optimization and improvement, effectively transitioning you into consultative selling.The Trust/Timing Objection: "I need to think about it." This classic objection often masks underlying concerns or a lack of clarity. Mike and Scott reveal how to respond with empathy and a strategic question to uncover the real blocker. Learn how to show understanding and then directly address their core hesitation, helping to uncover the true objection and keeping the conversation moving forward decisively, preventing stalls.This episode isn't just about scripting responses; it's about developing the mental fortitude to handle objections with confidence and clarity, ensuring you can navigate any sales conversation effectively and turn every objection into an opportunity for a deeper connection and a closer deal.Scott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, we revisit the discussion with Marcello Gallo, CRO at Sigma Computing, tackling one of the most critical and misunderstood phases of complex enterprise sales: procurement. They dissect the challenges of "separation of church and state," the pitfalls of weak champions, and the importance of owning the final stretch of the sales cycle with confidence, conviction, and clarity of value.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:25] Understand “Separation of Church and State”: Champions often step back during procurement. Plan for it, but don't surrender the deal.[00:01:33] “Participate in Your Own Rescue”: Teach champions to fight for the value they believe in—even through procurement.[00:03:15] Extreme Ownership is Non-Negotiable: Blaming procurement delays is a weak excuse. Elite sellers own the entire process.[00:04:00] Know the Negative Consequences: It's not just about the pain — it's about what happens if the problem doesn't get solved now.[00:05:54] True Champions Have Power and Influence: They actively sell on your behalf and are invested in your success. Anything less is not a real champion[00:06:38] Elite Sellers Multiply Champion Power: The best reps elevate their champions inside the account. It's not seller vs. buyer—it's a partnership.QUOTES[00:01:54] “You can't get alligator arms during procurement. If this is what you want delivered, you have to participate in your own rescue.”[00:03:35] “Extreme ownership means the deal is yours. No excuses. If procurement's dragging, you didn't plan it right.”[00:04:59] “Without understanding the negative consequences, you can't drive urgency — and urgency drives deals.”[00:05:54] “A true champion has power and influence, is actively selling on your behalf, and has a vested interest in your success.[00:07:02] “If a rep's saying, ‘It's us versus them,' you're in trouble. It means you never had a real champion to begin with.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/scaling-high-growth-companies-with-marcello-galloEnjoying the podcast?
