Following hot on the heals of the last podcast - can a great sales person become a great sales manager - I had some feedback from listeners who had shared some of their own experiences and so I thought I would record this episode to focus on some tangible stuff that can be implemented quickly or at least can influence your thinking as you begin to consider recruiting from within. I have always followed the Rx3 model - recruit, retain for revenue - and so the importance of getting this appointment right is so obvious and yet people will still go for speed over quality, the path of least resistance. A sales person is driven by closing and a sales manager by coaching. Individual player v a team enabler. It's worth taking time to consider all of the options rather than appease a sales person who thinks they deserve a promotion.

Are you a teacher, homeschool hybrid leader, or microschool founder who feels overwhelmed by marketing your school? You're not alone—and you don't need to become a full-time marketer to attract the right families. In this episode, we're diving deep into the real, raw struggles of building a microschool from the ground up—juggling curriculum, enrollment, communication, and finances—while trying to find students who actually belong in your program. Makenzie shares the exact struggles she faced in Years 1–3 of launching her microschool—from having no enrollment system, no marketing consistency, and no follow-up strategy—to finally unlocking the systems that grew her school from 6 to 12, then 18 students in her living room… to 50… and now over 100 projected. If you've ever thought: “I'm not a salesperson.” “Marketing feels awkward.” “I just want to help kids and make a difference.” Then the Microschool Marketing Blueprint was made for you. This step-by-step course is packed with the foundational systems every microschool or homeschool hybrid needs to enroll students with confidence—and implement real growth strategies in as little as 3–6 weeks. Whether you're in Year 1 or stabilizing in Year 3, this is the marketing mentorship you've been praying for.

In life, some things can be both "good" and "bad" and in the middle of the drama to get things attended to we often only see them as simply 'bad' or 'good.' It's hard to find the time to work towards a balanced opinion and so we go for the position that seems the most logical at the time and with the evidence we have. Social media and smart phones are a decent example - they can be both a curse and at the same time extremely beneficial. (Try finding a dumb alternative your smart phone and see where big tech - and clearly customers - both sit in this discussion.) A constant theme in sales teams is the failed promotion from within - the high-performing sales person, promoted to sales manager because of exceptional sales performance, only to not cut it at management level. It happens a lot. Not a great result for the new sales manager, the existing sales team and it can have a serious impact on sales performance in the short term. In sport, great footballers don't make great managers within the same season - it's just not possible and yet the burden of expectation on sales person to make that transformation quickly can kill off any ambition or possibility of success. How can this transition be made easier for everyone concerned - how can you move a mindset from 'closer' to 'coach'??
Your website should be making sales while you sleep, but instead it's probably costing you premium clients. After reviewing intake forms from our recent Rebrand Experience clients, I discovered a pattern: most entrepreneurs come to us treating their websites like outdated resumes instead of powerful sales tools. Whether they had websites they never updated, couldn't use, or simple one-pagers with minimal information, they were missing out on their most valuable 24/7 marketing asset. The difference between a website that generates six figures and one that sits collecting digital dust comes down to answering three critical buyer questions: Why this offer? Why you? Why now? Your website shouldn't just showcase what you do - it should actively sell on your behalf, qualify leads, overcome objections, and guide visitors toward conversion, even when you're not actively promoting. In this episode, I break down the framework we use in our Rebrand Experience to create websites that convert cold leads into premium clients. From strategic positioning that aligns your visuals with your expertise, to storytelling that showcases what makes your approach unique, to conversion-optimized layouts that keep visitors engaged, you'll learn why your current website might be turning away qualified prospects and how to transform it into your most powerful sales asset. In today's episode, we're chatting about: • Why treating your website like a resume is costing you six-figure opportunities • The three core buyer questions every high-converting website must answer • How to align your brand visuals with your premium price point • The difference between content strategy and website copy (and why most people confuse them) • Why conversion-optimized layout matters more than pretty design Connect with me: Website Join our email list!

About the Guest(s): Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells are experienced practitioners in the field of functional medicine. Dr. Woolner has extensive experience in helping healthcare professionals integrate meaningful systems and protocols to elevate patient outcomes and improve business practices. Dr. Wells, a co-host of the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, is particularly skilled in patient communication and has dedicated his career to enhancing healthcare delivery using innovative models and techniques to improve patient experience and success. Episode Summary: In this episode of the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast, hosts Dr. Chad Woolner and Dr. Andrew Wells delve into transforming the often dreaded process of high-ticket sales in the functional medicine space into an effortless alignment that feels natural and authentic. They reveal a strategic framework that sets practitioners up for success in high-ticket program conversions. Their insights aim to alleviate the discomfort practitioners often feel in sales scenarios, which can stem from a lack of alignment between patient goals and practitioner offerings. The episode discusses how vital it is for healthcare practitioners, especially in the shifting landscape from insurance models to self-pay systems, to master the art of non-pressurized sales. By sharing personal anecdotes and drawing parallels to real estate, they illustrate how identifying patient goals and building rapport is critical for success. They argue that the discomfort in sales comes from uncertainty and the lack of a structured approach, which they aim to rectify with their well-crafted scripting and communication strategies. Key Takeaways: Practitioners should prioritize understanding patient goals to align their offerings with patient needs, thus transforming the sales process into a natural, tension-free encounter. Preparation and effective use of scripting significantly enhance patient-practitioner communication, ensuring that sales discussions are smooth and impactful. Distinguishing between pressure and natural tension is crucial; the latter, derived from aligning patient-presented problems with solutions, leads to better conversion rates. A heart-centered approach to patient care and a genuine desire to help patients solve their health issues significantly enhances the practitioner-patient relationship. Mastery of scripting and patient communication improves conversion rates and enhances patients' trust and confidence in their healthcare providers. Notable Quotes: "If you feel slimy asking patients for money, this episode is absolutely for you." - Dr. Andrew Wells "What we want to find out is what their goal is around that thing, around that health condition." - Dr. Andrew Wells "Tension naturally seeks resolution. People will pay to resolve the tension." - Dr. Chad Woolner "Use scripting to take all the pressure off of you on what you're going to say and how you're going to guide the conversation." - Dr. Andrew Wells "Massive difference between pressure and tension; understanding those two things is the key to reaching, helping patients reach those goals." - Dr. Chad Woolner Resources: Learn more and schedule a discovery call with Dr. Andrew Wells: Simplified Functional Medicine Subscribe and follow for more episodes of the Simplified Functional Medicine podcast: Podcast Website Transforming the sales process into a meaningful exchange requires understanding and empathy.

In today's episode of Digipreneur FM, Keron dives deep into one of the biggest shifts happening in business right now: AI has become your customer's best salesperson — and many Caribbean businesses (and businesses globally) aren't ready for it. Through personal stories, real-world case studies, and practical insights, Keron reveals how today's consumers are using AI tools like ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Gemini to research, compare, and even complete purchases — all without ever speaking to a human being. You'll hear how Keron himself used AI to confidently choose a new Fujifilm camera, showcasing just how dramatically the customer journey has changed... and why businesses need to catch up — fast. If your business isn't set up to be AI-friendly, you're not just missing out — you're invisible. Tune in and learn how to future-proof your brand for the AI-driven world of commerce. 3 Key Takeaways: 1. AI is the new personal sales concierge. Customers now use AI to research products, compare competitors, find discount codes, and even finalize purchases without ever engaging a human sales rep. If you're not present online with the right digital infrastructure, you're invisible to them. 2. Businesses must be "AI-friendly" to survive. Having a fast, mobile-optimized website, e-commerce capabilities, strong SEO, and content that answers customer questions is no longer optional — it's critical if you want AI to find and recommend your business. 3. The shopping experience is now hyper-personalized and frictionless. From product discovery to checkout, AI empowers consumers to tailor every step of the buying journey to their needs. Brands that create easy paths for AI-assisted shoppers will win — everyone else will lose ground quickly.

A lot of people think cold calling is dead. John Waller disagrees. John Waller is a true, old-school salesman and the founder of The OnHold Experience, a company that produces audio recordings that promote your business to your customers over the phone while they're waiting on hold. John's been selling since he was a kid growing up in England in the early 1960s trading bubble gum for toy cars – something that he paid dearly for as you'll find out. Undeterred by that early childhood incident, he's since led a successful sales career spanning decades, selling insurance and phone headsets before he got into selling on-hold messages. While a big fan of cold calling, John has also incorporated newer tactics into his sales process such as LinkedIn and attending virtual networking groups to set up “warm calls” and build relationships that lead to numerous referrals and new business.
