Send us a textAre your conversations in networking events and client meetings leading straight to dead ends? This week on "The Selling Podcast," Mike and Scott tackle a critical skill that separates master networkers from awkward noodlers: the difference between "Nothing" and "Great" conversation starters.Mike and Scott break down the safe, lazy phrases that kill rapport (yes, we're looking at you, "How's the weather?" and "Busy day?"). They reveal why these are just statements about facts that give your prospect nothing to build on, wasting valuable time.Then, they pivot to the powerful framework of Great Conversation Starters. Learn to swap boring small talk for open-ended questions that spark genuine connection, interest, and depth, such as:Personal & Relational: "What's keeping you excited lately?"Situational: "How did you get into what you do?"Deeper & Engaging: "What's a project or goal you're working on right now?"The golden rule is simple: Nothing starters are statements; Great starters are questions about stories, emotions, or choices. Tune in to get the exact cheat sheet for transforming your introductions into meaningful dialogue that builds trust and ultimately drives your sales pipeline.Support the showScott SchlofmanMike Williams - Cell 801-635-7773 #sales #podcast #customerfirst #relationships #success #pipeline #funnel #sales success #selling #salescoach

People who engage in small talk have the potential to live longer than those who don't.An article recently published in the Irish Examiner explored how small talk helps us feel a sense of belonging.While it is one of the most dreaded aspects of the workplace, experts say communication is a vital component of how we function as humans, and it can define how we perceive our environment.Joining guest host John Fardy to discuss is Clinical Hypnotherapist and Self-Leadership Coach based in Galway, Rachel Gotto.

She emphasizes the importance of fostering deeper conversations in the classroom to enhance engagement and learning, particularly for gifted learners. The episode provides practical strategies for educators to encourage Big Talk, including the use of layered questions, Socratic seminars, and silent big talk. McNair advocates for creating a culture of curiosity and depth in conversations, ultimately aiming to transform classroom dynamics and student engagement.

This was their year to host, and Henry's wife, Olivia, texted back “I thought it was at our home this year.”- and no one responded. She's upset and wants her husband to call his mother and tell her that it's their turn to host, they alternate every four years with their mom and his two sisters, and he says that if she really wants to host, then let her. Who cares? It's not like she wants to cook and do it anyway. She says it's the principle. What do you think? Jen has a chance to win $6200!
