Broken Salespeople

We Fix Broken Salespeople. If you feel like something is "off" in your sales career and want to figure out what it is, this is the podcast for you. After having a breakdown in 2015 Red discovered that he needed to try to do things differently. He then spent years taking apart and rebuilding sales processes to make it work the right way. Many of the old cliches did not survive the testing process. If you are frustrated by your sales, join us in the workshop. Until then. Go fix yourself.

There is a phrase you see a lot in the business and self help world. "You either win or you learn." And while that is true most of the time, there is a toxic element of that idea that we need to discuss. This episode Red talks about how that idea can overlap with Kobe Bryant, Wilt Chamberlain, and the NXIVM cult from upstate New York.

We have all had at one point or another complained about a gatekeeper. We know, deep down, that we can help this prospect do something amazing, but we cannot seem to get past the gate and speak to the person we need to.

For years, the easiest way to track your salespeople was simply counting how many outgoing phone calls there were and you will inevitably see results. Sadly, spam filters and cell phone updates have made things much more complex. This episode we talk about creating the right lead measures, actually measuring them, and make sure you are not being mislead by vanity metrics.

I did not plan to record this podcast. I did not think that it was something that I should talk about. However if I did not, I would be neglecting my own emotional intelligence and the emotional and physical well-being of tens of millions of others.

Special thanks to Mike O' Connor and Ira Bowman for pointing this out to me and convincing me to record this episode. (We are back!) Find them both on Serviceprofessional...
