Jon Levy is the Founder and Host of Influencers, a Behavioral scientist, consultant, and author of a very interesting new book titled, "You're Invited, The Art and Science of Cultivating Influence." On today's episode we're talking influence, connection and trust.We start with Influence. What is it? What does it mean to have influence? And the role of relationships and community in creating influence. And Jon shares the details behind his Influence Equation.Then Jon and I dive into the importance of connection and connectedness. isolation and loneliness are an increasing fact of life. It presents itself in the stress, burnout and mental health issues we see in sales. As Jon points out chances are high that the people you want to connect with are in need of connection too and may not even realize it. We dig into why sellers need to develop relationships in which everyone is better off, rather than trying to extract as much value as possible from it.Finally, we get into the process of building trust. And why building trust begins with finding a challenge big enough to require people to work together.This conversation was originally recorded in 2021.More on Andy: Connect on LinkedInGet Andy's new book "Sell Without Selling Out" on AmazonLearn more at AndyPaul.comSponsored by:Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.ioScratchpad | The fastest way to update Salesforce, take sales notes, and stay on top of to-dos | Scratchpad.comExplore the Revenue.io Podcast Universe:Sales Enablement PodcastRevOps PodcastSelling with Purpose Podcast

Mike Bosworth is one of the true legends in the sales profession. He is the author and creator of both "Solution Selling" and "Customer Centric Selling." I enjoy it every time Mike comes on the show. Because I learn something new. And today's no exception. In today's episode we talk about a growing problem in sales: discovery resistance. Discovery resistance is resistance to being questioned – pushback – verbalized or not, from a buyer you would like to get to know. Discovery Resistance originates with the 99% of buyers who have come away from previous encounters with 'salespeople' feeling coerced, pressured, manipulated, or flat-out PUSHED into doing something that they did not want to do. This is critical for individual contributors to understand as well as sales leaders.This conversation was originally recorded in 2021.More on Andy: Connect on LinkedInGet Andy's new book "Sell Without Selling Out" on AmazonLearn more at AndyPaul.comSponsored by:Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.ioScratchpad | The fastest way to update Salesforce, take sales notes, and stay on top of to-dos | Scratchpad.comExplore the Revenue.io Podcast Universe:Sales Enablement PodcastRevOps PodcastSelling with Purpose Podcast

Eric Quanstrom (CMO at Cience) is a leading expert on proactive outbound prospecting. On today's episode we talk about the business of lead generation outsourcing, in particular sales development. However, we approach it from a different angle. With the rise of specialized sales companies with highly developed expertise, such as Cience, Eric and I dig into whether sales really needs to be a core competency of a company that develops and sells a product or service. Or should a product company leave that to a sales company who are the experts? We also explore the many lessons that Cience has learned (from scaling to hundreds of SDRs) about how to more effectively hire, onboard and manage the sales development process.More on Andy: Connect on LinkedInGet Andy's new book "Sell Without Selling Out" on AmazonLearn more at AndyPaul.comSponsored by:Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.ioScratchpad | The fastest way to update Salesforce, take sales notes, and stay on top of to-dos | Scratchpad.comExplore the Revenue.io Podcast Universe:Sales Enablement PodcastRevOps PodcastSelling with Purpose Podcast

I really like Phil’s book.

We’re going to go over a number of examples from Phils’ book, including my favorite “magic words” that you can use to help your buyers visualize success.This conversation was originally recorded in 2021.More on Andy: Connect on LinkedInGet Andy's new book "Sell Without Selling Out" on AmazonLearn more at AndyPaul.comSponsored by:Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.ioScratchpad | The fastest way to update Salesforce, take sales notes, and stay on top of to-dos | Scratchpad.comExplore the Revenue.io Podcast Universe:Sales Enablement PodcastRevOps PodcastSelling with Purpose Podcast
