Today on the podcast, Wes Schaeffer joins Bradley to discuss sales for business owners. He is a Ruthlessly Pragmatic sales trainer, marketing consultant, keynote speaker, copywriter, HubSpot expert, Keap CRM expert, and Doer.Nothing happens until a sale is made. A sale cannot be made until a prospect has been identified. A prospect cannot be identified until a business owner informs the marketplace that they are in business with a valuable offering.Each step must be carefully crafted and integrated and then automated in order to create a business that sustains you vs. a service that drains you. Wes helps you build all of that.Wes Schaeffer started The Sales Whisperer® in 2006 after nine years in the Air Force and a decade in sales. Since then, he's written two books, published over 700 podcast episodes, and helped thousands of entrepreneurs in at least 29 countries master the profession of sales with style, grace, and dignity. He's the father of 7, a brown belt in Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and the president of his HOA, so mow your lawn, sit up straight, and pay attention to what this grandfather of three has to say.Thanks to our sponsors...Club Capital provides monthly accounting, tax, and CFO services for insurance agency owners.
