Should you use sales scripts to close more deals? That's the question I get from salespeople who are struggling to hit their numbers and looking for that magic bullet that'll transform their results overnight. They want to know if there's a perfect set of words that'll make prospects say yes every time. Here's my answer: No. Not just no, but hell no. If you're using scripts, you're using a crutch that's actually crippling your ability to build the one thing that closes deals: trust. And worse, you're hiding behind that crutch instead of developing the real skills that separate elite performers from the pack. The Script Crutch: Why We Reach for It I get why scripts feel appealing. When you're new to sales or struggling with consistency, having something to fall back on feels safe. Scripts promise to eliminate the fear of not knowing what to say next. But here's the problem: That safety is an illusion. When you rely on a script, you're outsourcing your brain to someone else's process. You stop listening to what your prospect is actually saying because you're too busy figuring out what line comes next. You lose your ability to respond authentically to their real concerns, fears, and motivations. Scripts turn you into a talking brochure instead of a trusted advisor. And prospects can smell it from a mile away. Think about the last time someone called you reading from a script. You knew within 30 seconds, didn't you? That robotic cadence, the inability to deviate when you asked a question, the way they plowed ahead regardless of your responses. How much did you trust that person? How likely were you to do business with them? What Scripts Actually Do to Your Performance Scripts don't just fail to help you, they actively hurt your results. They Kill Your Authenticity - The moment you start reading lines, you stop being yourself. Your natural charisma disappears behind memorized words. They Prevent Real Listening - When you're focused on delivering your next line perfectly, you're not truly hearing what your prospect is telling you. You miss the real concerns hiding behind their surface objections. They Make You Predictable - Every other salesperson calling your prospect is probably using the same script. When you sound like everyone else, you become a commodity that competes on price, not value. They Create Dependency - The more you rely on scripts, the less you develop your own skills. Instead of learning to think on your feet and handle objections naturally, you become dependent on having the "right" words handed to you. What Elite Performers Do Instead The best salespeople I know don't use scripts. They use frameworks—a structure that preserves authenticity while ensuring they cover all the bases. Here's the framework that works: Connect First Start every conversation by building genuine rapport. Not with scripted small talk, but with authentic curiosity about who they are and what they do. Unpack Their Fears Early Most salespeople wait until the end to handle objections. Elite performers get them on the table immediately. "Tell me about a bad experience you've had with contractors before." "What are you most worried about with this decision?" You can't script these conversations because every prospect's fears are different. Understand Their Motivation Why are they really doing this? What's the trigger event that brought you together? What happens if they don't solve this problem? These insights come from skilled questioning and active listening, not memorized presentations. Explore Their Desired Outcome Get them talking about their aspirations. What does success look like? When prospects paint their own picture of a better future, they're selling themselves. Make Recommendations Like a Consultant When you've truly listened and understood their situation, making recommendations becomes natural. You tie everything back to what they told you: "You mentioned you're worried about quality....

In this bite-sized nugget, I'm talking about something that's creeping into parenting way too much lately: scripts. Everyone wants the perfect words to say, but the truth is—real parenting doesn't follow a script. We're raising little humans, not robots, and that means getting creative in the moment. I'm sharing why I believe the point of human existence is creation—and how that translates into your parenting. From ignoring expert noise to trusting that you're divinely suited for your child, this is your reminder to ditch the step-by-step and parent like the badass creative you already are.Timestamps:(00:01:06) Creative Parenting: Nurturing Life's Masterpiece(00:01:06) Embracing Creative Parenting Approaches for Individuality(00:03:24) Parenting as a Creative Endeavor: Embracing FlexibilityJamie's InstagramOh Crap!

Today on the Wholesale Hotline Podcast (Flipping Mastery Edition), Jerry is joined by Ryan Barnum to talk about his real estate journey, lessons he's learned and do a deal breakdown. Show notes -- in this episode we'll cover: How Ryan overcame imposter syndrome, used a pay‑per‑lead program, and closed his first deal—earning $15,000 after negotiating and partnering with New Western. A step‑by‑step breakdown of Ryan's first deal: how he locked an exclusive lead at $348K, adjusted the rehab estimate from $60K to $90K, renegotiated to $320K, and flipped it to New Western at $345K. Emphasis on confidence and rapport: Ryan built trust through genuine conversation, which led the seller to reject $430K offers from others in favor of his. Key advice for beginners: Start talking to agents (even out-of‑market) to build confidence, record your calls for self‑review, and step into the investor identity—even before your first deal.

If you've ever felt like selling your services meant selling your soul, today's episode will flip that mindset on its head. Lisa McGuire welcomes sales and marketing expert Brooke Greening, a former counselor turned powerhouse in people-first sales. With over 20 years of experience and the creator of the Service Sales Framework, Brooke reveals how to ditch outdated, manipulative sales tactics and replace them with authentic conversations that build trust and convert. In this episode, we explore how sales becomes a powerful act of service when approached from a place of leadership, empathy, and confidence. You'll hear Brooke's story of going from counselor to call center rep to transformational sales coach—and how that journey shaped a framework that helps entrepreneurs stabilize income, avoid the dreaded sales rollercoaster, and confidently guide potential clients to a decision. Whether you're a seasoned entrepreneur or just beginning to navigate your personal brand journey, Brooke's fresh perspective on aligning marketing and sales will leave you feeling empowered and excited to sell—with your integrity fully intact. Key Takeaways Sales isn't about pressure; it's about people. You don't have to be pushy or gimmicky to close deals—just human. Leading sales conversations is a service, not a manipulation. The difference between sales and marketing (and how to align them). Why you're likely losing leads by ignoring the 30–90 day buying window. Scripts are guardrails, not gospel—flexibility leads to authenticity. Objections are not rejections—they're conversations waiting to happen. Building a process is key to getting off the feast-or-famine rollercoaster.

Today on the Wholesale Hotline Podcast (Flipping Mastery Edition), Jerry is joined by Ryan Barnum to talk about his real estate journey, lessons he's learned and do a deal breakdown. Show notes -- in this episode we'll cover: How Ryan overcame imposter syndrome, used a pay‑per‑lead program, and closed his first deal—earning $15,000 after negotiating and partnering with New Western. A step‑by‑step breakdown of Ryan's first deal: how he locked an exclusive lead at $348K, adjusted the rehab estimate from $60K to $90K, renegotiated to $320K, and flipped it to New Western at $345K. Emphasis on confidence and rapport: Ryan built trust through genuine conversation, which led the seller to reject $430K offers from others in favor of his. Key advice for beginners: Start talking to agents (even out-of‑market) to build confidence, record your calls for self‑review, and step into the investor identity—even before your first deal.

The Catalyst: Sparking Creative Transformation in Healthcare
Resentment gets a bad rap, but what if it's actually a guidepost? This episode is a look inside one of my recent Catalyst Studio mentoring sessions, where a brilliant practitioner found herself loving the work… and hating how it made her feel. Sound familiar? She wasn't burned out, yet, but the resentment was building. And it wasn't loud. It was quiet, chronic, and easy to ignore. Until it wasn't. We talked through where that resentment was coming from, how it tied to people-pleasing, guilt around pricing, and the belief that overdelivering somehow proves your worth. We named it. We mapped it. And then we got to work. Inside this episode, I share the tools and scripts I gave her to start protecting her energy and time, without shrinking or apologizing. We talk about boundaries (internal and external), membership models, and why policies aren't just for your practice… they're for your passion. If you've been carrying silent resentment, feeling overextended, or struggling to hold your own boundaries, this one's for you. Let's talk about what needs to shift, before burnout makes the decision for you.

In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a popular question: What Happens When Software Fails? Originally titled When Coffee Hits the Fan: Developer Disaster Recovery, this AI-enhanced breakdown explores real-world developer mistakes, recovery strategies, and the tools that help turn chaos into control. Whether you're managing your first deployment or juggling enterprise infrastructure, you'll leave this episode better equipped for the moment when software fails. When Software Fails and Everything Goes Down The podcast kicks off with a dramatic (but realistic) scenario: CI passes, coffee is in hand, and then production crashes. While that might sound extreme, it's a situation many developers recognize. Rob and Michael cover some familiar culprits: Dropping a production database Misconfigured cloud infrastructure costing hundreds overnight Accidentally publishing secret keys Over-provisioned “default” environments meant for enterprise use Takeaway: Software will fail. Being prepared is the difference between a disaster and a quick fix. Why Software Fails: Avoiding Costly Dev Mistakes Michael shares an all-too-common situation: connecting to the wrong environment and running production-breaking SQL. The issue wasn't the code—it was the context. Here are some best practices to avoid accidental failure: Color-code terminal environments (green for dev, red for prod) Disable auto-commit in production databases Always preview changes with a SELECT before running DELETE or UPDATE Back up databases or individual tables before making changes These simple habits can save hours—or days—of cleanup. How to Recover When Software Fails Rob and Michael outline a reliable recovery framework that works in any team or tech stack: Monitoring and alerts: Tools like Datadog, Prometheus, and Sentry help detect issues early Rollback plans: Scripts, snapshots, and container rebuilds should be ready to go Runbooks: Documented recovery steps prevent chaos during outages Postmortems: Blameless reviews help teams learn and improve Clear communication: Everyone on the team should know who's doing what during a crisis Pro Tip: Practice disaster scenarios ahead of time. Simulations help ensure you're truly ready. Essential Tools for Recovery Tools can make or break your ability to respond quickly when software fails. Rob and Michael recommend: Docker & Docker Compose for replicable environments Terraform & Ansible for consistent infrastructure GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins for automated testing and deployment Chaos Engineering tools like Gremlin and Chaos Monkey Snapshot and backup automation to enable fast data restoration Michael emphasizes: containers are the fastest way to spin up clean environments, test recovery steps, and isolate issues safely. Mindset Matters: Staying Calm When Software Fails Technical preparation is critical—but so is mindset. Rob notes that no one makes smart decisions in panic mode. Having a calm, repeatable process in place reduces pressure when systems go down. Cultural and team-based practices: Use blameless postmortems to normalize failure Avoid root access in production whenever possible Share mistakes in standups so others can learn Make local environments mirror production using containers Reminder: Recovery is a skill—one you should build just like any feature. Think you're ready for a failure scenario? Prove it. This week, simulate a software failure in your development environment: Turn off a service your app depends on Delete (then restore) a local database from backup Use Docker to rebuild your environment from scratch Trigger a mock alert in your monitoring tool Then answer these questions: How fast can you recover?

Today on the Wholesale Hotline Podcast (Flipping Mastery Edition), Jerry is joined by Ryan Barnum to talk about his real estate journey, lessons he's learned and do a deal breakdown. Show notes -- in this episode we'll cover: How Ryan overcame imposter syndrome, used a pay‑per‑lead program, and closed his first deal—earning $15,000 after negotiating and partnering with New Western. A step‑by‑step breakdown of Ryan's first deal: how he locked an exclusive lead at $348K, adjusted the rehab estimate from $60K to $90K, renegotiated to $320K, and flipped it to New Western at $345K. Emphasis on confidence and rapport: Ryan built trust through genuine conversation, which led the seller to reject $430K offers from others in favor of his. Key advice for beginners: Start talking to agents (even out-of‑market) to build confidence, record your calls for self‑review, and step into the investor identity—even before your first deal.
