SHOW SUMMARY
In this episode of the Selling from the Heart Podcast, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy are joined by Alex Goldfayn, Founder and CEO of Outgrow. Alex shares actionable strategies from his latest book, Outgrow: How to Expand Market Share and Outsell Your Competition, focusing on how to boost sales by being proactive rather than reactive.
The conversation dives deep into the "miracle tool" of the telephone and the importance of purposeful outreach when nothing is wrong, rather than only calling when there is a problem. Alex provides powerful insights on overcoming the fear of rejection and maintaining the consistency required to achieve significant organic growth while selling with genuine heart.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Service-First Mindset: Selling from the heart is a shift in perspective, it is about helping your clients, not just closing a deal.
- The Proactive Edge: Predictable, organic sales growth is driven by proactive outreach, not by reacting to urgent or stressful problems.
- Purpose Over Pressure: Meaningful growth is the result of consistent, purposeful actions rather than increased pressure.
- Reframing Rejection: Rejection is a natural part of the sales process; remember that every “no” brings you one step closer to a “yes”.
- The Power of the Phone: Using the phone proactively sets you apart in a digital world because most of your competitors simply aren’t doing it.
- Trust as a Catalyst: Building authentic relationships and deep trust is the primary driver of long-term professional success.
HIGHLIGHT QUOTES
We are the helpers, we're the salespeople. It's righteous work.
Proactive is when nothing is wrong; reactive is in response to something urgent or stressful.
Sales growth doesn't come from more pressure, it comes from more purpose.
If the phone came out after email, we would all think it's a miracle tool.
