Send us a textHow many times has a deal gone sour because of a simple miscommunication about expectations? This week on "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott welcome Pete Howland to break down the critical skill of setting and managing client expectations.

We dive into how to have these crucial conversations upfront to align on goals and build a collaborative, transparent relationship from the very start.This episode is your blueprint for moving beyond vague promises and into a world of clear, confident communication. Tune in as Pete breaks down how mastering this skill will not only save you from headaches but also consistently help you deliver an exceptional experience that keeps clients coming back.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

Over the years, Dr Wood has watched her own patients struggle to achieve wellness while lacking sufficient focus on mental health. With shortening doctor visit times, only the bare minimum can be done during a typical wellness exam, excluding the opportunity for a woman's most trusted care provider to assess her mental health – arguably the gateway to her overall health and wellness. Likewise, during postpartum visits, Dr. Wood found that there is no time to help young mothers struggling with mental health issues. Finding another mental health provider to care for a patient with perinatal mood disorders, infertility, or fetal loss is equally challenging. Following her passion and determined to make a difference, Dr. Wood obtained a certification in perinatal mood disorders, psychotherapy, and pharmacotherapy, and she started the Woman Made Well clinic with one mission – to achieve wellness through the proactive pursuit of both physical AND mental health. She is passionate about empowering women with the care and tools they need to live their best life.   SOCIAL MEDIA: Connect with HeHe on IG  Connect with HeHe on YouTube   Connect with Dr. Wood on IG    BIRTH EDUCATION: Join The Birth Lounge here for judgment-free childbirth education that prepares you for an informed birth and how to confidently navigate hospital policy to have a trauma-free labor experience!   Download The Birth Lounge App for birth & postpartum prep delivered straight to your phone!   LINKS MENTIONED: Connect with Dr. Wood here: https://www.womanmadewell.com/

The Bulletproof Dental Podcast Episode 402 HOSTS: Dr. Peter Boulden  and Dr. Craig Spodak GUEST: Erika Pusillo  DESCRIPTION In this episode, Pete, Craig, and Erika discuss the critical aspects of hiring associates in dental practices, focusing on economic expectations, communication, compensation, cultural fit, and the importance of aligning treatment philosophies.  They break down the need for clarity in communication, understanding the true value of compensation beyond percentages, and the significance of cultural fit in ensuring successful associate relationships.  TAKEAWAYS Communication is more of an art than a science. Clarity is kindness; unclear expectations lead to failed associateships. Compensation should be discussed in terms of take-home pay, not just percentages. Cultural fit is crucial for successful associate relationships. Associates should ask about practice growth and performance history. Hiring should focus on long-term goals, not just immediate needs. Continuous communication is essential to prevent misunderstandings. Hunger and integrity are unteachable qualities in associates. Practice owners should be transparent about financials and opportunities. Shadowing can help assess cultural fit before hiring.

What's stopping your work from shipping? It's probably not the design itself. This week, I chat with Guy Segal about the soft skills that make the biggest difference—giving feedback, earning trust, and aligning with your team when things get tough.What if the biggest reason your designs aren't making it to production has nothing to do with design?You know your work is solid. You've put in the hours, iterated on the flow, and covered every edge case. But when it comes time to hand it off or get sign-off, something breaks. It stalls, gets picked apart, or falls flat. Sound familiar?In this episode, I sit down with Guy Segal—design leader and host of Design Downtime—to talk about why “soft skills” are the hardest part of UX, and how improving them can be the difference between your designs shipping or collecting dust. We cover how to give better feedback, how to handle misalignment without blowing things up, and what it actually means to be someone your team wants to work with.This conversation is a must-listen if you've ever felt like good design work wasn't enough. Because it isn't.

He shares his journey through the ups and downs of the mortgage world and the lessons he's learned along the way, especially when it comes to hiring the right people and creating a strong, supportive team.We also dive into how important it is to truly understand your clients and create an experience that makes them feel seen and supported. Sam talks about the software he developed, called HOMPWR, and how it's helping to improve the mortgage process in a really smart and innovative way. We touch on the role AI could play in the future of the industry, the struggle so many of us face with perfectionism, and why community and collaboration matter more than ever.

In this episode, Trevor sits down with Darrin Smith to talk about what actually matters when choosing the right health provider — and no, it's not just fancy letters behind their name. We dig into why vibe and energy matter in the treatment room, the power of truly being heard, and how the best care comes from a team that knows how to collaborate (not compete). We also pull back the curtain on some of the cracks in the traditional healthcare model and share what to look for if you want care that prioritizes you, not a quota. If you've ever felt stuck, rushed, or like your rehab plan was copy-pasted off Google, this one's for you. It's time to take ownership of your health with people who actually give a sh*t.   Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Background 03:39 Finding the Right Provider 09:20 Setting Expectations and Goals 13:10 The Importance of Vibe and Energy 20:14 Empowerment and Ownership in Health 25:58 Navigating Patient Care and Team Dynamics 32:51 The Importance of Personalized Treatment Plans 39:25 Understanding Movement and Patient Education 45:30 Key Takeaways for Effective Healthcare Engagement

This week in Sea of Thieves, we discuss the upcoming patch and its current contents, Pirate Profiles —a feature that has frustrated many—and the reveal of Season 17 at the Xbox Showcase. A lot of confusion has been around the features recently revealed by Rare, leaving the community trying to understand what is going on with the requests they've had for years. I think there's a lot to be said about this from both perspectives and ultimately it's going to come down to what's important to you and what you think should be focused on for the future of the game.

Welcome to the first episode in a special season of 'refreshed replays'—a curated collection of listener favorites we’re revisiting with fresh perspective as we journey toward episode 200. These episodes are packed with timeless wisdom, and we’re pausing to reflect on them with new eyes, fresh hearts, and deeper intention. Today, we're diving into a highly practical and transformative conversation: setting expectations for your next vacation. Whether you're traveling solo, with family, or friends, we'll explore five key areas that can turn your time away into a truly restful and spiritually renewing experience. Join me as we step into this season of reflection and rediscovery—one faithful conversation at a time. In this episode, John discusses: Why unmet expectations can derail even the most well-planned vacations How clear communication can transform family and group trips The spiritual and emotional benefits of vacationing with intention How physical, financial, and relational awareness shapes a fulfilling break Key Takeaways: Identifying what you and others want from your vacation—like quiet, adventure, or space to recharge—helps you communicate clearly and protect your time for true rest. Having honest conversations ahead of time about how you’ll spend time together or apart allows everyone to feel considered and reduces relational tension during the trip. Discussing financial boundaries in advance, including budgets and expectations for shared costs, prevents stress and creates space for generosity and enjoyment. Intentionally planning spiritual moments—like prayer, reflection, or faith-filled conversations—invites God into your time away and brings deeper purpose to your rest. Choosing activities that match your energy, abilities, and capacity allows you to enjoy memorable experiences without returning home more exhausted than when you left. “Your time and rest with family and friends, I just want to remind you, this is important to God. And I believe it's His sincere desire for you and for me to take a break after the hard work.”   CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

A 5TO9 Coaching Share! TOPIC: SET EXPECTATIONS WITH 'THEM' AND YOU Welcome to 5TO9 Coaching Shorts! Whether it's 9a to 5p or 5p to 9a - we are the same person doing different things! How we handle conflict, communicate, process emotions, prioritize our time - all of that is vital at home AND at work! With clients and with friends/family! I submit that what we do and how we act between 5PM and 9AM is MORE important than 'business hours'. We all know people who excel at work but sacrifice their health or family! People who can never succeed in business because they are always in the personal chaos of storms! I coach sales reps and small business owners and I thought some of the stuff we cover in our coaching conversations may help a few other folks as well. Some of this I have learned through doing it right AND some from doing it wrong! Either way - maybe you can relate!
