Stay Paid

Since the pandemic grasped the country by the neck last March, business managers have had to pivot and figure out how to manage remote teams. Ongoing quarantines and concerns about safety have made coming up with remote working solutions for employees necessary. And it’s been a challenging and expensive undertaking for many. But management isn’t alone in coping with the dramatic changes. Employees have also had to figure out how to stay productive and do work from home while contending with all the distractions. And the loneliness felt by many who enjoyed hanging out at the proverbial water cooler has made it even harder. Luke and Josh take a critical look at Inc.com’s 7 tips for managing virtual teams as well as suggestions for how to work remotely from home. And the guys bring a little bit of their own reality to the situation.

When it comes to your business, few decisions are as important as how to create a successful brand that will distinguish you from the competition. But as important a decision as that is, the process doesn’t have to be complicated.

Join us for a terrific conversation and find out from the expert what branding is really all about and the steps you can take in your own business to become “the only.” (An idea, the simplicity of which makes it genius.)

How often should I follow up after a sales call is a legitimate question, but sales callers render it meaningless because they keep making this mistake. Various studies and statistics prove time and again that following up is critical to your success in sales. So, it’s a good idea to make following up as easy and productive as possible. You’ll garner more respect, trust, patience, and sales if you approach your follow up with a prospect as a conversation and not a sales call. Stop making the mistake of focusing on the transaction and wondering when you can jump in and close the deal. It’s the wrong approach, and you’ll only get stuck. Concentrate instead on having a sincere and genuine conversation about things that matter to your prospects. Put the sale aside and talk with them as if they were a friend.

When coaching agent’s, Chadi Bazzi’s goal is to turn their world (and process) upside down and in doing so, turn them into masters of influence. Chadi doesn’t just want the people he coaches to get more leads… In his six-step process, which he admits is completely backwards, Chadi aims to “rewire your mind and equip you with the skills of influence that you can get anyone, anywhere, any time to do exactly as you want them to do and have them think it was their idea to begin with.” Listen to this episode as Chadi speaks with Luke and Josh about his 6-step process for securing leads. It relies on applying a few facts of neuro-psychology and learning to listen in ways many agents have never considered.

Krista Mashore is full of energy, enthusiasm, and expertise, and in this episode, she advises that before you can ask a client to commit to you, you need to let them get to know you first.

Only Krista doesn’t put it quite that way… Krista also declares video is the essential engagement marketing tool for nurturing clients and moving them through the sales cycle. And she explains why.
