    Luke Sutton: Leveraging LinkedIn Effectively

    Most professionals are unknowingly sabotaging their LinkedIn results with profile mistakes and weak content. Find out how to fix both so your ideal clients come to you ready to talk.   In this episode, Jennie and Luke Sutton discuss: LinkedIn as a professional relationship-building platform Common profile mistakes and benefits-focused positioning Structuring high-converting LinkedIn posts and hooks Effective calls to action and lead magnets Authentic, trust-building communication in DMs and sales   Key Takeaways: LinkedIn works best when treated as a professional relationship-building platform, not just another social network. Profiles that lead with clear benefits instead of titles and credentials are far more likely to attract interest and clicks. Strong LinkedIn posts start with a scroll-stopping hook, tell a relatable story, and end with a strategic call to action. Direct messages should focus on genuine curiosity about the other person, building trust before ever mentioning an offer. The energy behind your communication—authenticity, sincerity, and a true desire to help—is what people actually feel and respond to.   "No matter how you're communicating with people, people also smell desperation." — Luke Sutton   About Luke Sutton: Luke Sutton loves to help people. As an online marketer/content copywriter for 27 years, he has helped many people make money in online home businesses, as well as helping business professionals get more leads and booked calls that turn into clients.  These days, Luke focuses specifically on LinkedIn, helping professionals turn their LinkedIn presence into a lead engine with his full system of content, branding, outreach, and communication. LinkedIn is a goldmine for getting high-quality leads if you know how to go about it. Luke helps you with that.   Connect with Luke Sutton: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luke-sutton-here/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/luke2313/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lukester3213/ CONNECT WITH JENNIE: Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/ Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/ YouTube: COMING SOON!

    Todd Krause: Lead Like a Pro with the LEAD Framework

    Discover how a former C-suite finance leader scaled a home services business from $1.8M to over $4M by putting people first and learning to let go. In this episode, you’ll hear a practical framework for leadership that turns “volunteer” teams and employees into loyal, high-performing advocates for your business.   In this episode, Jennie and Todd Krause discuss: Journey from CPA and finance to leadership and entrepreneurship Why caring cultures drive retention, reviews, and referrals The business math behind employee engagement and profits The three pillars of a thriving workplace: caring, positivity, and cultural competence The LEAD framework: Let Go, Empower, Align, Develop   Key Takeaways: Sustainable growth comes from unlocking the untapped potential in the people who work with and for you, not just from technology or tools. When employees stay longer, care more, and work with fewer mistakes, operating expenses drop while revenue and profits rise. Culture is built by flipping the script from “rules and consequences” to clearly stating what you want and rewarding behaviors that deliver for your clients. Effective leaders must learn to let go of tasks, empower others, and align them with clear goals so they can make good decisions independently. Developing future leaders happens in everyday conversations just as much as in formal training rooms—every discussion about how and why a decision was made is leadership development.   "If I can't do it all myself, I need help. I have to let go of things and give it to other people, so they can do it, because if I can no longer get my arms around everything, then things either fall through the cracks and stop getting done, or I'm self-limiting in how far I can go with my business." - Todd Krause   About Todd Krause: Todd A. Krause is the owner of The Cleaning Authority – Fishers, where he grew the business from $1.8M to over $4.0M in revenue while building a diverse, high-performing team and an award-winning workplace culture. A CPA and MBA with decades of leadership experience across finance, banking, and entrepreneurship, Todd has helped grow organizations ranging from startups to multi-billion-dollar enterprises. Today, Todd is the founder of Silversun Consulting, where he works with home-service business owners to solve the growth challenges that keep companies stuck. His work focuses on building strong leadership, effective systems, and thriving workplace cultures that allow businesses to scale without chaos, burnout, or owner dependence.   Connect with Todd Krause: Website: https://silversunconsulting.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/toddakrause/ Connect with Jennie: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/ Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/ YouTube: COMING SOON!

    Jennie Bellinger: Step Into Your Power

    From a breakup on December 30, 1999, to commanding the room with unapologetic confidence—this episode is your invitation to rewrite the story of your power.   In this episode, Jennie discusses: Breaking free from emotional and verbal abuse Redefining assertiveness and DOM power Societal conditioning and barriers to women’s power Language, labels, and how women undermine their authority Guided visualization to step into personal power Key Takeaways: You can choose not to believe the limiting stories and labels others have placed on you, no matter how long you’ve carried them. Assertiveness rooted in respect—moving forward on purpose with others in mind—is a powerful and ethical way to lead. Societal conditioning, media narratives, beauty standards, and workplace bias all subtly push women away from their own authority and leadership. Everyday language like “I’m just…” and constant apologizing chips away at confidence and reinforces a smaller version of yourself. Embodied practices like guided visualization help you literally step into a more powerful identity and carry that energy into your life and business. "You are powerful. You are unstoppable." —  Jennie Bellinger    Book a Complimentary Coaching Session with Jennie: https://calendly.com/jenniebellinger/complimentary30   Connect with Jennie: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/ Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/ YouTube: COMING SOON!

    [Classic Rewind] If It's Not a "Hell Yes!" It's Not a Yes At All

    In this episode, Jennie discusses: The difference between a “yes” and a “hell yes” Saying “hell yes” to your dreams How saying “hell yes” can affect your life and career Commitment, confidence, and passion Key Takeaways: Let your “hell yes” be louder than your fears and doubts Start by saying hell yes - going all in - to your dreams, your family, and yourself You need to know what’s going to make people say “hell yes”. A timid yes can become a hell yes, and it starts with you Confidence in yourself is what makes you badass enough to get a “hell yes” "Are you someone that you would say ‘hell yes’ to? If not, why not? Don’t let fear being seen as ‘talky’ hold you back. People prefer confidence." —  Jennie Bellinger    Check out VIDYARD by clicking this link: https://vidyard.com/badass Book a Complimentary Coaching Session with Jennie: https://calendly.com/jenniebellinger/complimentary30   Connect with Jennie: Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/ Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/ YouTube: COMING SOON!

    What To Do With Your "Chicken List"

    Afraid to reach out to the people who could most transform your business? In this episode, discover how to flip your “chicken list” into a confident “rooster list” using a simple 3-step framework that feels authentic, not salesy.   In this episode, Jennie Bellinger discusses: The real cost of avoiding your chicken list Reframing the “chicken list” into a “rooster list” Why sales feel salesy (and how to fix it) The 3-step connection–curiosity–consent framework Building confidence through action and personalized outreach   Key Takeaways: Avoiding your “chicken list” doesn’t protect relationships; it protects your ego and quietly costs you growth, connection, and income. Sales feels salesy when you lead with a pitch instead of a person, hide a secret agenda, or rely on copy-and-paste scripts that don’t sound like you. A simple structure—connection, curiosity, and consent—can turn awkward outreach into genuine, human conversations that people actually welcome. Inviting someone into a conversation (“Would you be open…?”) removes much of the pressure and shifts your energy from desperate to confident and intentional. Confidence is built far more by taking imperfect action with one person on your list than by endlessly overthinking what to say.   "Here's the truth. You don't sound salesy because you're a network marketer; you sound salesy because you don't have a strategy that actually fits you." — Jennie Bellinger   Book a Complimentary Coaching Session with Jennie: https://calendly.com/jenniebellinger/complimentary30   Connect with Jennie: Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/ Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/ YouTube: COMING SOON!

    Patrick M. Powers: Leadership, Responsibility, and Building Teams That Truly Duplicate

    In this episode, Jennie and Patrick M. Powers discuss: Early failures, bankruptcy, and entry into network marketing Overcoming shyness, bullying, and a lack of sales skills Leadership vs. promotion in network marketing Developing teams through responsibility and comfort-zone expansion Logistics, adversity, and refocusing teams on vision   Key Takeaways: Long-term success in network marketing is less about finding the “perfect” company and more about committing to learning, being coached, and persisting through multiple attempts and failures. Leadership and promotion are fundamentally different skills; you can promote your way to a few thousand a month, but genuine freedom and scale only come from learning how to lead people. One of the core jobs of a leader is to constantly redirect people’s focus from problems and setbacks back to the bigger vision and desired outcomes. Helping team members grow means intentionally and repeatedly nudging them just beyond their comfort zones, then praising and reinforcing their efforts so fear gets rewired into confidence. You cannot effectively lead from a place of victimhood; taking radical responsibility for your results and your reactions is a non-negotiable foundation for influence and team building.   "I'm going to make this happen. I'm the creator of my destiny. Do not get into victimhood. The moment you fall into victimhood, you cannot lead." - Patrick M. Powers   About Patrick M. Powers: Patrick M. Powers is a speaker, performance coach, influence expert, and video marketing strategist who helps leaders communicate with calm confidence and true authority. After going bankrupt in his early 20s, battling crippling shyness, and struggling through multiple failed business attempts, he went on to build a network marketing organization of 10,000 people and speak to live audiences of up to 7,000. He is the founder of Entrepreneurs in London, the world’s second-largest business meetup community with nearly 30,000 members, and a 4x author whose work centers on practical, field-tested leadership and communication strategies. Patrick has been featured on the BBC (three times), Forbes, and major podcasts, including Entrepreneurs on Fire. Today, through his High Impact Method and resources like the Team Builder Blueprint, he trains network marketers and entrepreneurs to build belief, lead teams that truly duplicate, and show up powerfully on stage, on camera, and in high-stakes conversations.   Connect with Patrick M.

    Mike Fischer & Jeff Schimmel: Learning Sales by Doing Everything Wrong

    About Mike Fischer:  Mike Fischer’s sales career spans more than 40 years, beginning with entrepreneurial hustles such as selling electronics at flea markets and advertising in his high school newspaper. He went on to become a top-performing salesman and manager at major media companies such as NBC and Tribune Media, where he sold over $30 million in advertising in a single year. Mike was also instrumental in driving growth for brands like Ford, Toyota, Sony, and several startups, including one acquired by Disney. About Jeff Schimmel: Jeff Schimmel describes himself as an accidental salesman whose nearly 50-year journey includes a door‑to‑door stint with the Fuller Brush Company and selling everything from houseplants and leather goods to pharmaceuticals and fine art. With experience across countless industries and sales environments, Mike and Jeff have truly seen and heard it all and offer a funny, unique perspective on sales in their new book, "Sales Prevention: How To Be The World's Worst Salesperson."   In this episode, Jennie, Mike, and Jeff discuss: Reverse-psychology approach to sales training Common sales mistakes and bad advice Humor as a tool to reduce sales stress Prospecting, follow-up, and time management pitfalls Turning “worst practices” into a playbook for better selling Key Takeaways: Teaching sales through exaggerated “worst practices” can help people quickly recognize and correct their own bad habits. Humor is a powerful way to relieve the stress of selling and to keep perspective when facing rejection and high-pressure environments. Many traditional, scripted sales techniques feel manipulative or outdated, and modern buyers can “see them coming from a mile away.” Simple fundamentals—like consistent prospecting and timely follow-up—are often the real difference between hitting and missing big opportunities. Reflecting on past failures and cringeworthy moments in your sales career can be one of the fastest paths to growth, self-awareness, and better results. “Think about whatever. You know, advice. Good advice is out there for salespeople, and just do the opposite.” –  Mike Fischer   “Really, the biggest mistake you can make if you want to sell a lot is telling the truth. If you tell the truth, you're not going to sell very much. You need to lie, and you need to be good at it.” - Jeff Schimmel   Connect with Mike Fischer: Instagram: www.instagram.com/mikethesalescoach/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikefischerdigitaladsales/ CONNECT WITH JENNIE: Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/ Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/ YouTube: COMING SOON!

    Deanna Scaldaferri: How to Grow Your Business by Healing Yourself

    About Deanna Scaldaferri:  Deanna Scaldaferri is a licensed massage and bodywork therapist, Usui Holy Fire III Reiki Master, intuitive life coach, and public speaker based in Charlotte, North Carolina. She helps clients with their life and spiritual journeys by addressing the root causes of physical, emotional, and energetic blockages. Blending hands-on bodywork, Reiki, and intuitive coaching, Deanna supports people in reconnecting with themselves, reclaiming their power, and healing from the inside out. She offers in-person massage locally and virtual Reiki and coaching sessions for clients around the world.   In this episode, Jennie and Deanna Scaldaferri discuss: Deanna’s journey from skeptic to energy healer Understanding energy, vibration, and everyday examples Reiki: what it is, how it works, and its effects Root causes, blockages, and a holistic healing approach The connection between personal growth and business growth   Key Takeaways: Many people start as skeptics of energy work, and belief in Reiki usually grows from direct, repeated personal experience. Energy and vibration show up in everyday life—in instant connections, “weird” timing with calls or texts, and the overall vibe of places. Chronic physical pain can have non-physical roots, like stress, grief, or unresolved emotions, which a holistic approach can help uncover. Reiki can be deeply calming or deeply transformational, from simple relaxation to major emotional release, depending on a person’s readiness. Personal growth limits business growth; when business stalls, the real block is often internal, and healing misalignments can unlock new momentum.   "Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better." –  Deanna Scaldaferri   Connect with Deanna Scaldaferri: Website: https://www.healinghandsbydeanna.com/home LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deanna-decamillo-scaldaferri-6b242a2a5/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100081243803856 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/decamde1/ Email: hi@healinghandsbydeanna.com From Recovery to Self-Discovery: A Transformational Workshop for Survivors of Narcissistic Abuse: https://www.healinghandsbydeanna.com/workshop   Grab Deanna’s 10% Discount on any of the services: Use Coupon Code BADASS at healinghandsbydeanna.com     CONNECT WITH JENNIE: Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/badassdirectsalesmastery Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/badassdirectsalesmastery/ Website: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/ Show: https://badassdirectsalesmastery.com/blog/ YouTube: COMING SOON!
