What can I say about Larry Long Jr. I can picture him going through Navy Seals bootcamp and smiling the whole time.  Might get some extra pushups for talking.    It was an absolute pleasure having Larry on as my season finale guest. The guy just makes you want to climb mountains and go up to strangers to tell them how great life can be.    In this episode we address among other things if the negative association with sales is due to lack of resources and classes (only 4%) in college or lack of sales enablement especially in the startup world.   We also discuss what he's most proud of, cognitive behavioral therapy, and how many times he was sent to detention for talking.

I hadn't been this excited for an episode in the longest time.  Jamie just has a spirit and energy about her that for me was infectious.   We get into her personal life (what a story) and specific prospecting and lead generation tactics she used to become BDR of the year at Reprise.    Her trump over any setback or hurdle attitude mindset is inspiring. More inspiring is how transparent she is on social media and probably in person about telling the WHOLE story and how she got to be such a rock.   She's now BDR of the year at Reprise and just keeps shining.  Definitely tune into this one folks. Truly inspiring.

Ironically as an extrovert, I'm group leader and administrator of a 700 person group called "Introverts in Sales".  I co-host this virtual event with Ryland Ferguson where we touch on:      - What does it mean to be "introverted" in the world of business?    - Psychology of an introvert    - Embracing what being an introvert is accomplishing for you, and how can you put that into perspective when it comes to sales situations?   - How can you harness some of the best qualities of the introvert to be successful in sales?   - Rethinking the goal in sales - how is modern selling transforming in favor of the introvert?    - How can embracing modern sales approaches make selling easier and more rewarding for both buyers and sellers?

Best line of the show: "When you walk into a bookstore you'll see books written by me". #sales #branding #socialselling #energy Legendary line. Lucas Root, who works with some of the biggest companies in the world that are execution challenged, joins me on Sales Intersection Season 3 Episode 6 discussing sales pipelines for prospecting and how he helps some of the biggest companies in the world that are execution challenged. It's a line that made me laugh but that's not reflective of Lucas as he's one of the most humble, deferential, and probably has the most soothing voice I've had on the show. On a serious note I think this speaks to self-awareness and the ability to be present in selling and a more than sufficient calm in his voice to evoke trust. He also has an energy that makes it easy to share your story. Lucas touches on the importance of not putting all your pipeline eggs in one basket (timely example - if you were counting on conferences to achieve quota pre-COVID) and instead to split them up into social selling, being digitally savvy and going about your branding in a way that speaks to your true passion and genuine self.

Sales Intersection - where you can always count on mediocre production value but legendary fire with guests and content. Season 3 Episode 5 with Amy Hrehovcik. I almost didn't want Amy on the show because I didn't know how I'd get through the episode successfully avoiding the daunting task of trying to pronounce her last name, which I never actually do.  Hot topics discussed here folks as we go over mental health in sales in addition to what I believe to be a revolution happening in sales. Amy has some fascinating insights into this as well. This and much much more in this episode of Sales Intersection - The Intersection of Money and Meaning. Amy is a character for the books.  --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
