I want you to think back to your childhood and coaching moments you lived through. Ask yourself, how have they impacted your life today and shaped who you became? It’s not always the person you are paying with the title of coach - it could be a casual conversation or an event that took place that marks in your head forever. In episode 507 of the Sell or Die Podcast, we’re going to give you some insight you’ve never had before regarding who helps you along your path to success.

 

Some key points we discuss include:

  • From personal examples, there were people in our lives without the coach title, but were still massive influencers on our thinking, questioning, and confidence.
  • A good coach is not giving you the answers, the good coach is asking you the right questions so you can figure it out for yourself.
  • Look at who is influencing you, realize that may be a coach providing good influence or bad influence. 

 

If you have the right influence, not just a coach, this could be a mentor, friend, or parent. Any of these sources of influence can make you think differently and take different actions. 

So to hear even more of our tips on how you can gain more insight on who inspires you and coaches you through life, don’t forget to tune in to episode 507 of the Sell or Die Podcast.

 

See you next week for another episode of Sell or Die!

The New Normal Course

Jun 9, 2020

Finding opportunities is key if you want to run a successful business, especially during a pandemic. That’s why episode 503 of the Sell or Die Podcast is all about two important questions: are YOU finding opportunities or whining about what is happening around you? And how can you find opportunities in the new normal and adapt your selling techniques to your customers’ new needs?

 

Some key points we discuss include:

  • Why now is the prime time to seek opportunities and dare greatly (and why having this mindset is key to success)
  • The importance of finding out what your customers need NOW and effective sales strategies that will help you succeed in the new sales environment 
  • Why you need to show gratitude and realness to close sales (and how Jeffrey’s The New Normal Course can help you adapt to the new normal like a pro)

 

Now more than ever, people are craving human interaction. So your job is to show up with emotion and realness. And if you don't know who your customers are prior to walking in the door and giving that sales pitch, you're gonna lose to someone who does. Just like you’re going to lose to someone who is conversational and prepared, if you don’t make those traits your own quickly enough. And for even more guidance on doing just that, don’t forget to tune in to episode 503 of the Sell or Die Podcast to learn even more about all the points outlined above.

The New Normal Course

May 26, 2020

Building rapport is key if you want to create more sales and referrals for your business. That’s why episode 501 of the Sell or Die Podcast is all about how YOU can transform your business for the better by building rapport! 

 

Some key points we discuss include:

  • The new way to sell that will exist post pandemic, and why building rapport is key to successfully adapting.
  • The questions you should be asking your clients NOW to set you up for sales success in the future
  • Simple strategies for building deep rapport that will drive your sales and referrals through the roof

 

There is going to be a new way to sell, post pandemic. And that new way to sell it is going to be much softer than the old way of selling because people may not want to buy right now. Cold-calling is not going to work. Instead, building rapport is critical so you can get potential clients to talk to you about what has happened and what they need now. So find out how you can set yourself up to WIN post pandemic by tuning into episode 501!

The New Normal Course

May 19, 2020

Are you looking to start a business or do you already have one? Then your success depends partly on understanding that the reward of reaching your destination is the journey itself. Which is why episode 500 of the Sell or Die Podcast is all about what it really takes to be successful and how you can become a better person from overcoming your obstacles!

 

Some key points we discuss with our special guest James Wedmore include:

  • How James went from working as a bartender to becoming a multi-7-figure Digital CEO who’s teaching other entrepreneurs how to achieve the same success
  • Why you should fall in love with the “hustling” period of your business when you don’t know exactly what you’re doing or what will happen from it
  • Why it’s backward to think that you need money first to transform into the person you want to become
  • Important reminders and questions to ask yourself when life feels rough (like it might right now with the pandemic!)

 

James’ name comes up more than once a day in our office, and he’s basically a messiah in the entrepreneurial space, so we can’t wait for all of our diehards to take advantage of the key advice and strategies he shares in this episode. And as James says in this episode, “If I can freakin’ do it, anybody else can,” so what are you waiting for? Start your own journey to success TODAY by tuning in.

What You Can Control in a Time of Uncertainty

 

Are you feeling overwhelmed by uncertainty or like your whole life is out of your control? You’re not alone, especially during the Coronavirus pandemic...which is why episode 499 of the Sell or Die Podcast is all reminding YOU what you can control during times of uncertainty.

 

In this episode we talk about what YOU can control and be certain of, even during this pandemic.  Some key points we discuss include:

  • Taking control of your mindset & becoming adaptable to the changing times.
  • Focusing on setting yourself up for success now, to have a leg up on competitors in the future.
  • Adapting yourself and your business to the new “normal.”

 

I know that this pandemic has been a big time of uncertainty for all of us, and you may be struggling with not feeling in control. But now is the time to lace up your boots a little bit tighter and get ready to not hit the road, but to hit the video screen, Facebook, Zoom, whatever, and establish a new normal where instead of making one call a day while flying to Dallas, you can make 20 calls online in video before noontime.
