➡️ Like The Podcast? Leave A Rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/successstoryIn this episode of "Success Story: Lessons," we had an insightful exchange with best selling author, speaker and prolific sales trainer Oren Klaff about controlling the sales conversation. Oren offered unique perspective on establishing authority by demonstrating expertise around the buyer's specific problems.Our conversation explored how sellers often relinquish control by trying too hard to appease buyers. Oren stressed leading buyers through well-structured discussions focused on relevant solutions. He encouraged setting clear parameters early on, then giving autonomy back to buyers once the "sandbox" is established.Some other things we discussed were how to establish peer status right away, conveying deep technical knowledge to build certainty, and positioning ideas as familiar rather than radically new. Oren believes sales success comes not from pressuring purchases, but guiding buyers to see you as a trusted problem-solver. His candid advice shows how to steer conversations to build authentic relationships. ➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.comYouTube: https://youtu.be/Y3VO7LbNurkPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/success-story-with-scott-d-clary/id1484783544?i=1000479002510 ➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary

Lessons - Cracking The Leadership Code | Alain Hunkins, Leadership Coach, Speaker and Author
➡️ Like The Podcast? Leave A Rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/successstoryIn this episode of "Success Story: Lessons," we dive into insights from leadership coach Alain Hunkins on driving change and managing up. Alain emphasizes that lasting change requires leaders to create a sense of urgency and self-awareness. Without a "wake up call," people tend to stick with what's comfortable.Alain outlines tactics for managing up the chain of command, which centers on aligning with superiors' goals. He advises positioning ideas as helping leadership accomplish their vision. This takes empathy, building credibility over time, and artful framing.We also get Alain's wisdom on his "three C's" of leadership: connection, communication and collaboration. He boils down that connection means showing people you care through empathy and reliability. Communication requires confirming understanding, not just stating ideas. And collaboration happens by meeting people's core needs - safety, energy, purpose and autonomy. ➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.comYouTube: https://youtu.be/Z7qxvaenCIUPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/success-story-with-scott-d-clary/id1484783544?i=1000479531305 ➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary

Lessons - The 10x Rule | Grant Cardone, Investor, Speaker and Author
➡️ Like The Podcast? Leave A Rating: https://ratethispodcast.com/successstory➡️ Join Our Free Slack Community To Up-Skill Yourself: https://bit.ly/3IY8kwKIn today's 'Success Story: Lessons,' we welcome Grant Cardone, renowned entrepreneur and motivational speaker. Today, Grant unpacks his signature concept - The 10x Rule.The 10x Rule, as Grant explains, is not merely a strategy but a lifestyle. He identifies four levels of action: inaction, retreat, average, and 10x action. Most people, he argues, oscillate between the first three levels that yield little satisfaction and success, but it's the 10x action that propels significant change.This episode emphasizes two critical elements: courage and massive action. Grant argues that 'average' action is the most detrimental, as it leads to a cycle of unfulfilling mediocrity. He suggests breaking free from average and embracing the 10x Rule by adopting risk-taking behaviors and a mindset of wealth creation.He draws on Elon Musk's work ethic as an example of the 10x Rule, highlighting the importance of risk-taking, big thinking, and unwavering dedication to massive action. Through the 10x Rule, Grant invites everyone to step out of their comfort zone and achieve extraordinary success.➡️ Show Linkshttps://successstorypodcast.comYouTube: https://youtu.be/ayiBhmT4PCAPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/success-story-with-scott-d-clary/id1484783544?i=1000475270739➡️ Watch the Podcast On Youtubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/scottdclary
