Juliet Funt is the founder/CEO of the Juliet Funt Group. She is also the author of a new book that is high on my list of favorites, A Minute to Think: Reclaim Creativity, Conquer Busyness, and Do Your Best Work. In today's episode Juliet and I talk about the importance of giving yourself room to think and reclaiming "white space " in your day. White space is time with no assignment. I love that phrase. So, we dig into what white space is, how it benefits you (in terms of fighting cognitive fatigue and overload), and what white space isn't: meditation or mindfulness. As Juliet shares, white space it's a more purposeful use of time than that. This episode was recorded in Early 2021.More on Andy: Connect on LinkedInPre-Order Andy's new book on AmazonLearn more at AndyPaul.comSponsored by:Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.ioBombBomb | Build better business relationships with video messaging | BombBomb.comScratchpad | 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 PodcastSelling with Purpose PodcastRevOps Podcast

Lance Tyson is President and CEO of The Tyson Group, a sales consulting and training firm, and the author of new book Igniting Sales IQ: Driving Sales Confidence During Uncertainty. Today we start by digging into a fact about selling that a lot of salespeople don’t recognize, which is that selling takes place in the buyer’s mind. We get into why, with the use of technology—the internet, email, marketing automation—there are more salespeople now than there’s ever been. As Lance points out, what that means is that certain sales are complex enough that buyers need to have a human involved to help in the buying process. And we dive into why Salespeople need to keep it simple and learn the process of leveraging their EQ (emotional intelligence) so they can start to tip the scales in their favor. Because let’s face it, just like a casino, the sales odds are in the buyer’s favor.More on Andy: Connect on LinkedInPre-Order Andy's new book on AmazonLearn more at AndyPaul.comSponsored by:Revenue.io | Unlock exponential growth with an AI-powered RevOps platform | Revenue.ioBombBomb | Build better business relationships with video messaging | BombBomb.comScratchpad | 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 PodcastSelling with Purpose PodcastRevOps Podcast
