I've been in sales for 10 plus years, and there are even some things in here that had me question if I was selling out for being too salesy."Collin: "Pitching means you're throwing up features and benefits and talking at your prospect. But if you go into it with the mindset and an intention of having conversations, you'll have some different outcomes."Collin: "Listening more than you're speaking is a big part of being successful in sales. You learn a lot of things that you wouldn't otherwise."Collin: "Your job as a seller is to influence them into making the right decision based on informing them about things and educating them and asking the right questions for them to make a decision. And that decision may or may not be going with you."Learn more about Andy in the link below: Book: https://www.amazon.com/Sell-Without-Selling-Out-Success/dp/1989603572LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/realandypaul/Learn more about Collin in the link below: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-saleshustle/Also, you can join our community by checking out @salescast.community.

Not everyone needs to make a couple hundred thousand dollars. Some people can live where they want to live and sell small things. It's not about being the best of the best or being a billionaire. But for me, even if it's you, Collin, if it's between you and me closing something, no matter what, if you give me a five-minute pitch on something, I'm going to beat you."David: "When I speak to our people on a weekly basis and the same with the live event, I'm not here to tell you that I've figured everything out. I'm not here to tell you that making money is going to change your life. I'm not here to tell you that all my insecurities are gone. But I could retire tomorrow and be very secure and live a very varied life the rest of my life. But I feel like I'm poor. I feel every single day like I'm about to lose everything. I feel like I am not enough."David: "The biggest reason for our success is partnerships. With our banking partners, our payments partners and our partners with people who refer us deals. I'm a long-term thinker." Collin: I think that's the biggest differentiator, the having a long-term mindset to really take care of people makes a difference, right. People take a shortcuts and try to screw people over when they're not thinking more long-term."Learn more abou David in the links below:Website: https://residualpayments.com/Instagram and Tiktok: meetthecarlinsLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/david-carlin-meetthecarlins-on-insta-b969161a1/Learn more about Collin in the link below: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-saleshustle/Also, you can join our community by checking out @salescast.community.

I'm a huge believer in Process Before Platform. Meaning, you are applying a set of principles and processes before you care that this is LinkedIn, Twitter, or Facebook. The easiest way to think about it is from the customer's perspective. All you're doing is applying what you have done in a traditional sales process or customer journey. You're just digitizing the very process and actions that you take along that journey to meet the customer where they're learning, which is online." Jamie: "Human capitalism is a showcase of where a priority is about to go, either in a business or out of a business. And if you track the people, you track the change. And if you follow the change, you'll have a much greater probability of being able to open a door and start a conversation and focus on where things are about to happen in a business."Jamie: "We as people, we're connected to the stories that are closest to us. And so if you reverse-engineer your customers, you will realize that there are people who no longer work there, who are advocates, who go to other places who know your product and solutions. They will compete against that company and so forth. That's where doors get opened. That particular relationship map we call spheres of influence, is one of the fastest ways to connect company to company. That's why we do it."Jamie: "Even if you have the greatest sales intelligence in the world, if your message sucks, it's going nowhere."Learn more about Jamie  in the links below:Website - https://pipelinesignals.comWebsite - https://salesforlife.comLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamestshanks/Learn more about Collin in the link below: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-saleshustle/Also, you can join our community by checking out @salescast.community.

You start with deep discovery on whatever challenge or opportunity you're trying to discover and having people put it on post-its, and think out of the box about things, and think sort of wild and crazy as a way to diverge, we say. And before you start to narrow in your ideas was just this amazing process that would decrease the risk of failure and increase your chance of delighting the end customer. It works every time."Ashley: "The bias of sellers is to go narrow too quickly and narrow right into, tell me exactly about the system you use today, what doesn't work about it, let me show you mine, let me compare the features, and we're off to the races. Versus staying more open about not necessarily so personal, but their life, and business, and what they care about." Collin: "You don't want to exhaust them like, hey we've got to stay in discovery for three weeks before we can move forward, right? But you know, you can move forward but still stay curious, still stay open throughout the whole process because more might be revealed."Ashley: "The other mindset we talk a lot about is this notion of co-creation. So that's a same-side of the table kind of idea. The reason I'm staying curious and open and learning about you is because I'm trying to co-create with you the best thing for you."Learn more about Ashley in the links below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/awelch1/Website: https://www.somersaultinnovation.com/Book: https://www.amazon.com/Naked-Sales-Thinking-Reveals-Customer/dp/1619617560Learn more about Collin in the link below: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-saleshustle/Also, you can join our community by checking out @salescast.community.

Because to me, all the other perks we're just distractions from how much commission I could potentially make. To me, it was like, yeah, you get a salary and a company car but that's because they're only paying you like 2% on this deal. I don't know if I wanna sacrifice that. Plus, you got a boss now. With a great salary comes great oversight and micro management."Travis: "You put yourself in this negative feedback loop that just highlights the negative parts and then before you know it, you're talking yourself out of a sale before you're even getting through the first part of your pitch. The other person that just rejected you sold you into their rejection of you." Travis: "Success is nothing but the ability to move from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm. And that's never more true when you're knocking at a door and somebody tells you to f-off, and you have to shake it off and knock on their next-door neighbor's door without letting that previous encounter poison the first words out of your mouth."Travis: "If you can get a thousand people who know, like, and trust you enough to support anything that you put out just because they know, like, and trust you that much, then you can future-proof your entire life. You can future-proof your revenue, future-proof your net-worth, your relationships, you can future-proof everything that you're working on." Travis: "You cannot think about yourself and your quest to building true fans, if you want to build true fans. You have to turn your attention to those people and how you can help bring some sort of value to their lives." Travis: "Joe Shmo podcaster, who works at 9 to 5 and puts out a podcast about business advice and is editing his show from 9 pm to 11:30 pm before he's got to get up tomorrow at 6 am, like that person is not making money regardless of what happens. And if they put in the blood, sweat, and tears to build the audience, which is the only asset in the entire transaction, then they should be the ones getting paid." Learn more about Travis in the links below:Website - https://guestio.com/Podcast - https://travischappell.com/podcastLearn more about Collin in the link below: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-saleshustle/Also, you can join our community by checking out @salescast.community.

It's really beyond your control."Collin: “Really focus on nailing the experience in every interaction with your prospects, with your buyers throughout the entire sales process and this will serve you extremely well.”Collin: "Something that you may have to remind yourself constantly but it's extremely important: make sure you're prioritizing your revenue generating activities in any sales role that you have."Learn more about Collin in the link below: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-saleshustle/Also, you can join our community by checking out @salescast.community.

We're all just children. You have to be nurturing. You have to be understanding. They might have  a temper tantrum. They might not want something. And that's okay. You still treat people with respect, ask them for feedback. 'Oh you don't want to invest, why? What about the business model do you not like? What could be changed to make it better, to where you'd want to invest?'"Justin: "I feel like it's important to be persistent, even if you know that they're not gonna buy it. It's like, 'I know you're not gonna buy this, because you're not returning my call. But tell me why, give me a reason. Because think that's important information that you should always expect of a prospect. Don't just take nothing for an answer."Justin: "It's not that time consuming if you just want to get like 1,2,3,4,5,6 influencers, like to make content for you. You can do that on your own. But it's when you want to have like, 30 people a month, or 20 people a month, putting out content constantly. You need to have a dashboard, track everything, and you want to have this engine running at all times. Then it gets increasingly more difficult and more complicated." Learn more about Justin in the links below:Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briceulrey/Website: https://opkalla.com/Learn more about Collin in the link below: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-saleshustle/Also, you can join our community by checking out @salescast.community.

And each person, you gain that respect differently."Brice: "A lot of sales managers that come in and try to lead with authority fail. Because at the end of the day, sales people know that they're the fuel to the organization. You have a top salesperson, if they treat everybody with respect and they're good to the company, they could call the CEO and be like, here's what's going on. They have a lot of authority, I mean, they're bringing in the money."Brice: "I know a lot of salespeople that do well and they invest in real estate, they invest in the stock market, they invest in all these different things to grow that. Hey I've got a big commission check, what do I with this money? My salary is kind of paying the bills, what do I do with this money? And when you really think about it, like you're investing in Microsoft and Apple, and real estate property, whatever rental property, right? Think if you invest it in yourself. Think if you took that pot of money and said, I'm gonna start a business.

In cold calling blocks, when we deal with rejection, and lots of people telling us no. And it's hard to not let that sting a little bit. So it's very important to count the small wins.". Collin: "Even somebody telling you no in a cold call, and having a very good reason for saying no and why it's not a good fit, that's a win. Because you've now refined your list and you know you don't have to call that person back." Collin: "As much as not winning a deal hurts, it's better to lose early on than later on in the process. That way you can focus your time and our attention on other people that do actually do need your help or value the problem that you solve for them." Learn more about Collin in the link below: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/collin-saleshustle/Also, you can join our community by checking out @salescast.community.

We all know that our words are only 7% of the whole equation. It's actually your physiology and your tone that actually matter. That is your energy. You can obviously fake a tone but at some point in the conversation and at some point in your day you're gonna be so tired of faking something." Alli: "Because I was sucking at work, I felt that I had to show up with a mask on everyday. I had to put on a show of like 'Yeah it's cool' but inside I was totally in shambles.
