00:00:18.900 –> 00:00:27.810

That book came out, we’re recording this in 2018 that book came out about a year ago in 2017 and it’s led to a lot of different things happening in the business.

00:00:28.320 –> 00:00:38.280

And what we work with with time management and time magic net, which is now our website is a lot of sales teams, a lot of sales teams need to get better with time.

00:00:38.820 –> 00:00:50.430

So we want to brain is a show about great sales leaders and this is the start of that we recorded a couple episodes already which you’ll be seeing as the podcast rolls out and as the show gets

00:00:51.030 –> 00:00:59.220

Going very have a couple episodes, but the theme is going to be great sales leaders bring new tips that you can get better at sales.

00:00:59.880 –> 00:01:10.710

So for those who don’t know me as well. I’m Dr. Sean have an attorney. I’m a speaker. I’ve worked with organizations on a variety of issues from their legal issues on ownership and control to sales consulting to business planning.

00:01:11.310 –> 00:01:19.260

My partner Shannon J Greg long history of sales productivity systems works with teams to get what they’re going

00:01:19.980 –> 00:01:29.430

Happening. You know, so that’s from the CRM system controlling the data to have us a process flow to make the entire thing work, start to finish. So

00:01:30.090 –> 00:01:40.290

Today’s goal is to get you an idea of what the great sales leader shows going to be about talking to some of the content. We’re going to bring you what you can expect get you ready to tune in, in the future.

00:02:13.110 –> 00:02:20.850

Oh, I’m so excited about this project, Sean, because there are so many great sales leaders that we have come across and

00:02:21.240 –> 00:02:33.210

People have so many years of experience that they can translate into things that others can learn. So we’ve seen some amazing sales systems sales approaches sales philosophies.

00:02:33.480 –> 00:02:42.600

And we cannot wait to share them with you. We’ve got some amazing guests lined up already. We’ve got some people that we just cannot wait to talk to people who were

00:02:43.140 –> 00:02:51.210

Sales practitioners who are now speaking on sales people who were SD ours who are now sales leaders.

00:02:51.420 –> 00:03:05.100

People who are just young and green, but are already taking off and I can’t wait for us all to learn from all of them. So in addition to Sean’s request that you give us comments on things that you’re thinking and things that you’re seeing

00:03:05.460 –> 00:03:12.750

Please let us know if you would like to be a guest on the show, or if you know somebody who should be a guest on the show, who’s around sales.

00:03:13.020 –> 00:03:19.530

The sales to marketing divide sales leadership Sales, VP. How do you make your way in the sales world.

00:03:19.740 –> 00:03:30.150

Because it is only going to get more complex. And I think, Sean. That’s one of the things we found in our work with a lot of sales teams based on our productivity and time magic mint approach.

00:03:30.450 –> 00:03:44.730

Is that with with AI with the ability for buyers to do all the research before you start to sell them sales is getting increasingly more complex. So, the quicker we can learn from each other, the better our entire professional will be

00:03:45.150 –> 00:03:56.310

Yeah, well it’s a changing world. It’s moving fast if you’re going to stay ahead of this game. You’ve got to make the changes, right. You can’t sit there complacent. You can’t sit there and wait for things to happen. You have to be ahead of it.

00:03:56.790 –> 00:04:04.650

And what we’ve seen in sales and and other fields of endeavor, as well as a lot of companies as they use people up, so to speak, so

00:04:04.980 –> 00:04:10.800

Your own sales team you’re making sales you’re doing okay but you’re not you’re not building new skills, you’re not innovating.

00:04:11.310 –> 00:04:22.830

And then as your sales start to dry up because new technology comes out rather than saying, hey, this person has been around for a while. We’ve got time invested and they know the company, they say, No, we’ll get we’ll just toss these people out

00:04:23.340 –> 00:04:32.880

Bringing a fresh set of people that are current with the technology and we’ll start, start there. So unfortunately, this is a tough trend for sales people. If you’re not

00:04:33.540 –> 00:04:42.870

You know either doing the things outside of work to keep yourself relevant or taking the maximum advantage of those internal training opportunities because we do still get companies.

00:04:43.290 –> 00:04:49.920

You know, working with us that are training, but we hear from our clients and we know it’s true. We want to help everybody

00:04:50.550 –> 00:04:59.130

But some people jump into the training and jump into the lessons and some people don’t. They sit back and they’re like, oh, you know, I’ll just keep doing what I’m doing.

00:05:00.060 –> 00:05:05.850

vastly different results. What what great sales leaders brings to you what this show brings to you.

00:05:06.420 –> 00:05:15.180

Is practical stuff that you can start applying immediately. So it’s an easy to digest format we want to find we’re finding people and we’ll be finding more people

00:05:15.630 –> 00:05:27.870

Who are leaders who are doing great things within corporations within companies within their own private companies that have figured out tips and tricks for sales. We don’t bring them to you so you can review them and figure out the ones that work for you.

00:05:29.370 –> 00:05:36.600

It’s so true. It’s really true. We just know that when you can learn as a tribe. You can learn more quickly.

00:05:36.870 –> 00:05:49.110

And one of the things that we’re finding with sales people is exactly that companies may not be investing so much in training or perhaps you’re having really great sales kickoff meetings, but it’s all focused around your product.

00:05:49.380 –> 00:05:50.250

And that’s not

00:05:50.310 –> 00:05:58.410

That’s not sustainable. You can only learn more about your product and not learn better tips on how to prospect, how to negotiate.

00:05:58.620 –> 00:06:08.640

How to close to win. How to use sales productivity tools to your best advantage. And frankly, the best salespeople are the ones who know how to work their internal group.

00:06:08.850 –> 00:06:20.130

How to use their tools, how to use automation and to use all of those things in concert. So you can do more thing that you love to do best which is service your customer and delight your customer.

00:06:20.460 –> 00:06:30.150

And so we cannot wait to bring you some of these things we’re learning, I think, Sean. When we talked about putting great sales leaders together. We said, man.

00:06:30.870 –> 00:06:35.370

We’ve got a bevy of people that we’ve worked with who have some tips that everyone should know

00:06:35.640 –> 00:06:50.370

That either they’ve learned and trial by fire or they’ve learned from their own study that would do really good things for people who are new people who want to keep up on their skills and those a players that want to stay there are the B and C players that want to get there.

00:06:50.640 –> 00:06:58.950

Yeah, I think that’s the reality is there’s a need out there. We’ve been looking around, we’ve looked at the people we work with we’ve talked to a number of people.

00:06:59.310 –> 00:07:12.030

The key is to bring stuff in, in a very consumable way, which is why we’ve set up the short show format the interview the live discussion, you know, rather than just having a bunch of talking heads.

00:07:12.360 –> 00:07:20.700

Will be bringing it to you in two formats, which is going to be video but actually three formats really will have video you can watch the video on YouTube.

00:07:21.570 –> 00:07:27.120

Will be bringing you audio so you can download the podcast, take that with you on the go.

00:07:27.450 –> 00:07:35.910

And then we’ll also be taking transcripts of the live interviews we posting them as part of our blog, along with a couple other comments and notes.

00:07:36.210 –> 00:07:44.820

So this will give you an opportunity to pick your way of interfacing right what makes sense for you. How do you want to access this knowledge.

00:07:45.540 –> 00:07:51.480

Point is, whichever way you pick, you’re going to have on the go knowledge so that you can use it and learn from it.

00:07:52.020 –> 00:07:57.150

Also will be doing live tapings of the shows many of the shows we taped live

00:07:57.690 –> 00:08:14.160

And so you’ll have a chance to watch our feeds on LinkedIn or join our email list will know in advance of the live tapings so that you too can jump in and you can ask questions directly to the sales leader. So it’s all designed to be interactive.

00:08:15.420 –> 00:08:21.570

Diversify learning to allow people to see different angles and pick up tips and tricks to keep their sales efforts moving quickly.

00:08:23.040 –> 00:08:31.260

Yeah, that’s so true. Sean and I think I think that’s one of the things that we really focused on is, is you, our audience. We want to make sure you can get it.

00:08:31.470 –> 00:08:40.440

In a way that works for people who are super busy and don’t keep standard nine to five hours. So we know when you’re in sales. Your job never stops.

00:08:40.710 –> 00:08:50.610

You wake up in the morning, the first thing you do is check your email, then you look at your CRM system you’re thinking about your customers, you’re responding to your customers, you’re trying to find new ones.

00:08:50.850 –> 00:08:58.770

You might be going to meetings where you’re doing sales meetings or big defense meetings or you’re giving your corporate presentation.

00:08:59.490 –> 00:09:05.880

When you’re doing all those things you don’t have the time to sit down for an hour, three hours, eight hours and learn

00:09:06.120 –> 00:09:13.440

It’s so tough for you to take time out of the field and go sit down in a classroom because that’s not really your style.

00:09:13.650 –> 00:09:19.380

If it was your style. You wouldn’t be in sales. So we’re focused on bringing this content to you and snack couple ways

00:09:19.650 –> 00:09:27.090

And we have some really cool people who got some really cool things to say to us so we’re super pumped. If you can’t tell.

00:09:27.390 –> 00:09:35.430

About great sales leaders. It’s gonna be fun. It’s gonna be exciting. And it’s only going to get better if you tell us the things that you like and the things that you’d like to see

00:09:35.670 –> 00:09:44.550

So if we’re doing a lot of focus on how to source customers how to prospect, how to convert and and you’re feeling like hey right now my challenges.

00:09:44.820 –> 00:09:51.150

I don’t know how to use the tools that are available to me in social selling or in productivity or in CRM.

00:09:51.390 –> 00:10:03.510

Or maybe you one of your challenges is after you present a price to a customer, you hear radio silence, let us know. Because we have this list of people who cannot wait to come on here and help you

00:10:03.810 –> 00:10:11.310

Because one of the things that we truly believe is that sales is a noble profession and sometimes we get a bad rap. Right.

00:10:11.550 –> 00:10:21.120

People say, what do you think of when you think of a salesperson. The shark sue the used car guy, the guy that’s just going to tell you whatever you want to hear it and get your name on a contract.

00:10:21.690 –> 00:10:30.150

Yep. That is not true of the people we’ve met. Right. JOHN We have met some amazing phenomenal crazy intelligent people and we want to put that out there. Yeah.

00:10:30.210 –> 00:10:37.650

Well, most of the sales people we know when we imagine you the you, the viewer or listener are in the same category which is

00:10:37.920 –> 00:10:48.990

You want to help people. That’s part of your mission right your social. That’s a lot of sales people are very social creatures. They want to interact with other people. They want to talk. They didn’t fit into

00:10:49.470 –> 00:10:58.650

You know the highly technical space. It didn’t want to spend all day looking at books or coding programs. These are people that want to interact with other humans.

00:10:59.220 –> 00:11:05.970

And enjoy that conversation and help and make people smile and make people laugh. So any of the sales people we know

00:11:06.450 –> 00:11:15.120

Love to make people feel happy make them laugh, make them job make them enjoy a moment, you know, having dinner together. These are great parts of the sales process.

00:11:15.600 –> 00:11:23.820

That are very unique to this profession. It’s all about helping other people. We want to bring the same spirit to the show. We’re gonna bring on people.

00:11:24.210 –> 00:11:35.610

Who have a lot of that spirit that are those types of people we want them to bring the lessons to you so that you can drive those things home and be and do things in a way that’s enjoyable to you.

00:11:36.090 –> 00:11:45.750

Make the most of his profession deal with this coming change. And then also, you know, we are interactive, we want to listen to you. We’ve, we’ve got a format developed

00:11:46.200 –> 00:11:50.790

We’ve got a lineup of our initial guests lined up. We’re going to evolve over time.

00:11:51.360 –> 00:12:02.100

But yes, we’re listening to audience feedback. So, you know, write us comment say hey I need to hear more about this. I really like that person. Do you have somebody else that has that same similar

00:12:02.880 –> 00:12:05.880

Expertise, I need to see somebody in this industry.

00:12:06.510 –> 00:12:14.130

So this is an evolution here, you know, we think we’re going to deliver a lot of value to you guys immediately and that’s our goal.

00:12:14.430 –> 00:12:24.000

And we want you to tuning in, but we also want to make it more and more tailored over time. So, let us know what you want. Let us know what you’re seeing if you know a great sales leader.

00:12:24.480 –> 00:12:30.960

You know, send us a message, say, hey, this person, you know, really inspires me. I think they know their stuff. They’re really getting it.

00:12:31.440 –> 00:12:38.760

will invite them on the show will interview will do all the hard work and and you can watch the interview and get more lessons from whoever you’re looking up to

00:12:39.990 –> 00:12:50.940

It’s so true. And there’s so many great ones. There’s so many great ones are so many people that are out there doing amazing work in sales. And because they’re so focused on the customer. They might just be grinding away.

00:12:51.750 –> 00:13:01.230

So, let us know who they are. There’s no company too small. No industry to novel, we want to get this community together and say, how can we learn from each other.

00:13:01.530 –> 00:13:09.780

And, you know, Sean and I have read just about every book, there is out there on sales time management productivity.

00:13:10.020 –> 00:13:16.890

We have really sat through a lot of the courses and that’s what’s driven us and what we’re doing with the sales teams that we’re working with.

00:13:17.190 –> 00:13:29.100

And that is super helpful, but we know that you probably have things that you’re doing that work. So, let us know about that. We know that you’re you’ve learned from people you have that one mentor, if you close your eyes and think

00:13:30.000 –> 00:13:47.730

Who really helped me get into sales that person we want to talk to them, too, because we will do so much more. If we can move far together and will tell you when we’re launching this we really want to make sure that this is so value added and that only comes with your feedback.

00:13:48.120 –> 00:13:55.110

Exactly. So, you know, folks, you know, we want that feedback and what that learning we keep saying that because it’s so important to us.

00:13:55.500 –> 00:14:05.430

And we know that there’s great sales people out there and that’s what we want to do is just give you very very compact lesson so you can keep up and we’ll be talking about change and innovation and some of the themes

00:14:05.850 –> 00:14:15.870

Will also be talking about trying and truth days. What have you done what’s worked, what hasn’t worked, what could be done better. What have people stumbled upon in their, in their endeavors.

00:14:16.830 –> 00:14:26.520

There’s so much learning that can be had, as we move through automation, you know, Shannon knows a lot about that because she works in the CRM system. She works on those processes.

00:14:27.000 –> 00:14:37.590

As we work into a world of automation sales people are still going to be relevant, but their role is going to change. And we want to work with you work hand in hand with with you.

00:14:38.040 –> 00:14:48.570

To get through that change process and to bring you to the next level so that you can integrate, you know, the telephone systems that are going to be coming the

00:14:49.050 –> 00:14:52.560

chat bots are coming you know the CRM integrations are coming

00:14:53.190 –> 00:15:01.980

A lot of sales people. And you’re probably may raise your hand when you hear this but a lot of salespeople always spend about 30% of their time selling. It’s about 70% of your time administrator

00:15:02.700 –> 00:15:16.530

And I think that that’s somewhere where you know we’re going to learn some lessons. If we can lessen that administrative time get you more time selling that’s going to help you compete better make bigger commissions and do better things in your career.

00:15:17.490 –> 00:15:22.410

Agreed. So I’m super pumped to announce next week and about the same time.

00:15:23.100 –> 00:15:27.540

We have MJ Callaway million dollar MJ who’s going to be on the show with us.

100

00:15:27.810 –> 00:15:38.910

She’s fantastic. So Sean and I both do a lot of work with the national speakers Association. We go to all their meetings we learn a lot from them MJ is the president of the Pittsburgh chapter

101

00:15:39.540 –> 00:15:47.370

MJ has done some phenomenal work and sales. She is recognized as a leader in her industry. She does a lot of training.

102

00:15:47.580 –> 00:15:54.450

And her presentation skills are just phenomenal. And so we’re pretty pumped to have her on the show. Sean and I can’t wait until next week.

103

00:15:54.720 –> 00:16:05.790
