"Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply." — Stephen R. Covey. Omg, I love this quote. I see it frequently, where people take turns talking at each other, not with each other. UGH, it makes me crazy. In my sales process, step 4 is Active listening. I gave it its own step because listening is the heart and soul of being good at sales. In my model, I believe we should be listening 70% of the time, so a 70/30 split. Today, I’m so excited to explore the potent impact of language in sales and business as my guest, and I dive into how the words you choose can build trust, foster connection, or completely derail your conversations. Learn how to communicate with clarity, confidence, and authenticity to drive better results.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” - Thomas Edison. This quote translates to the need for a consistent follow-up process. My follow-up process is the last step in my 7-Step Easy Sales process. I call it CPR follow-up, which means consistent, persistent, and respectful follow-up. Notice the last word, respect, in my CPR Follow-up. You'll need to determine what respectful follow-up looks like for you and your industry. Not having a process is the kiss of death!

“This is not hard sell-it’s heart sell. Good questions get to the heart of the problem or the need very quickly, and the buyer doesn’t feel like he or she is being pushed” – Jeffrey Gitomer. Selling from the heart and building long-term relationships were intuitive for me and helped me quickly stand out from my peers in the financial industry. By creating a solid foundation and reputation, I could generate ongoing referrals, and my close ratio was off the charts because I was a trusted resource before I met the referred client. It’s simple, yet many people who need to engage and sell as part of their responsibilities still consider sales icky and sleazy. My motto is: If you are not selling from love, care, and respect, you need to stop!

“The confidence you have going into the sales call will determine the level of profit you have coming out.” – Mark Hunter. Being in sales for many decades, I have had my share of prospecting wows.

“Sales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman, not the attitude of the prospect.” – William Clement Stone. Whether you work for a company or own your own business, sales are a key component to the business growing and scaling. So how can we grow without working 100 hours per week? Scaling doesn’t mean you have to do everything. Automation helps us, as does time management skills. So, what are some strategies for scaling a business? I'm glad you asked!

“Social media is about the people. Not about your business. Provide for the people, and the people will provide for you.” – Matt Goulart, Over the past four decades, sales haven’t changed much, yet it has changed significantly because of the many social media platforms we have to reach our potential customers easily. LinkedIn is one of the best for my work, but navigating algorithms and fighting through the noise is still challenging. So, how do we gain more traction and reach our ideal client? I'm glad you asked.

“People buy from people they know, like and trust. At the start of building a relationship with your buyer the only thing you can shoot for is ’Trust’. Building trust has to be very obvious from the very first contact you make with your buyer or you kill any chance of starting a dialogue.” - Michael deGroot. Sales have been my life for over four decades; I have lived by a code where sales for me means selling from love, care, and respect. In short, it means selling by building trust and earning the client's loyalty. At the core, it is never about me; it’s always about the client and how I can support and help. Today, my guest and I will discuss several "big ideas" that will help you develop strong, trust-based relationships with your prospects/customers, enabling you to sell more in the long run by selling less.

The purpose of business is to create customers who create customers. - Shiv Singh. When I search for the perfect quote for each show, I often reflect on my own sales career. I love it when a quote hits home because I have proven that the idea behind it works. Today, this quote landed for me because I have lived off referrals and generated so much passive income through the years due to referrals from existing clients or people who have gotten to know me within my network. The key to developing a stream of referrals is to first prove yourself and build the know-like-trust factor!

“It’s no longer about interrupting, pitching, and closing. It is about listening, diagnosing, and prescribing.” - Mark Roberge. Lately, I feel like many sales trainers and consultants speak about building deep-rooted, transparent relationships as if this is a new concept in sales. I remember 40 years ago, when I started my sales career in the financial service industry, there was a lot of pitching and pushing with little interest in the person, family, or organization being sold to. It made me sick to my stomach that this type of bad selling was happening around me. I still see some of this same behavior, except now buyers can do a ton of research, read reviews, and buy from a place of more confidence due to their research. So, what's changed in sales today, and how do we close more deals quicker in this transparent world where the customer has researched everything? I'm glad you asked!

“Business decision-makers love online video because it gives them the most amount of information in the shortest amount of time.” – Robert Weiss. I think many of you have heard my story about starting my podcast using audio only. Then, one day, my producer shared that she felt I should use video, too. My response was not pretty…lol! I said to her, “You’re crazy, and that’s never happening.” Well, a few days later, I agreed to start using video. Why did I agree so quickly? Well, because her reasoning was sound. She shared that the more people saw and heard me and got a vibe of who I am and how I roll, the more apt they would be to follow my podcast. This would quickly build the know-like-trust factor, generating more leads and, ultimately, more sales. Here's the funny thing: People started to say yes more quickly during sales conversations; they started following me on LinkedIn and other social media, and when I asked how they found me, the answer was always, "I saw you or heard you on my podcast or as a guest on another podcast. "As the old saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. So, is video your next step in generating more sales?

“Don’t be afraid to give up the good for the great.” — John D. Rockefeller. The most significant areas where I see salespeople and sales teams drop the ball are at the beginning and end of the sales process. Step 1 is preparation at the beginning of the sales process. To put this in perspective, when we are doing our external business development efforts, 90% of successful BD is preparation. Yes, 90%. What I see with the teams I work with is that they feel so busy that they forfeit prep time and go out and wing it. In a recent survey - 82% of decision-makers (prospective clients) feel that the salespeople they deal with must prepare for the sales calls and show up ill-prepared. Interestingly, we cannot afford to show up unprepared and skip the extra work beforehand. When we prepare, the process accelerates, the prospect or client is more likely to say yes, and we feel a surge of confidence. It's like a flow of energy that makes everything seem effortless. Let me share what I feel should be prepared before any sales conversations or efforts occur.

“Work the LONG GAME. You don’t want your relationship to last 6-8 months, you want it to last for years.” – Mike Allton. This is a quote called My Name! We must play the long game, be patient, have the right marketing and sales approach, and truly care about our clients. If we do it right, the results are incredible. Building deep, trusting relationships can create a pipeline filled with passive income and referrals. It’s the easiest way to make your sales results.

"I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel." – Maya Angelou. Whenever I hear this quote, I am reminded that marketing is step 1 in making a sale but will not make the dales for you. To be relevant and top of mind to prospects and clients alike, we must have stellar communication skills and a clear sales process. Marketing gets the client interested, and the conversation and relationships will help you make the sale more quickly. Both resources are needed and work together; if you have a clear marketing and sales plan combined, you have a better chance of winning the game and serving your clients well.
