    [ENCORE] Communication Tips to Boost Your Sales Results (episode 361)

    "Communication is the only task you cannot delegate." - Roberto Críspulo Goizueta. I love this quote and find its timely relevance in today's world of immediate gratification, where we are constantly distracted by noise from our cell phones, social media platforms, texting, etc.  At the core, we have become so used to using automation tools that many of us have lost the skill of engaging the other person in the conversation to see how we can potentially help.    Communication skills have become a lost art, and I believe it has made sales and communicating with our peers and clients more difficult.  The reality is it's easier than you think to master this skill and make your life at work and home so much easier and smoother to get things done when everyone needed in the process is moving in the same direction.  So how do we do this?    Quickly become better at communicating.  I always offer my Communication Style Assessment at the beginning of every show, and I have had thousands of people take the quiz, and the feedback is always the same.  I hear, "I wish I had learned this skill when I started my career or business."   You get me for a solo episode about my CSA and how you can use it to easily leverage your communication style to move your business or career forward.  Are you ready to learn about your style?     YouTube: https://youtu.be/0f2JAQL7Jks   How to Get In Touch with Connie Whitman: Website:  https://changingthesalesgame.com Email:  connie@changingthesalesgame.com Communication Style Assessment (CSA)™:  https://changingthesalesgame.com/communication-style-assessment/   Stalk me online!

    Working Smarter by Design Generates More Success with John Whitt (Episode 419)

    In today's episode, you'll discover: 1.     That means working harder, hiring better, or delegating more isn't the real problem; it's design, not effort. 2.     That the same instincts that built your business are now the ones holding it back, and how those strengths become liabilities without you noticing? 3.     If you're wondering whether you have a founder-dependency problem, my guest will share the simplest test you can run on yourself today. To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from James Clear "Time spent working hard is often better spent identifying where the bottleneck is located.  Working hard on the wrong thing leads to frustration, not progress." About John Whitt: John Whitt is an experienced coach and the author of Checkmate! Translating Ideas into Money, a book that uses chess as a metaphor for business strategy. John brings over 30 years of experience helping both corporations and small businesses shift their culture, boost results, and improve profitability.

    Scaling to $100k a Month Without Burnout with Amy Kuphal (Episode 418)

    In today's episode, you'll discover: 1.  By looking at the world through the lens of systems—rather than just effort—can change how you view business growth? 2.  Why you can "hustle" your way to $100k plus a year, but then hit a "Capacity Ceiling" where the math of scaling simply starts to fail? 3.  The four levels at which business owners operate, from the "Overworked Expert" to the "Visionary CEO." And how you can diagnose which level you're currently stuck in? To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from Seneca: "If you really want to escape the things that harass you, what you're needing is not to be in a different place but to be a different person." About Amy Kuphal: Amy Kuphal is the founder of The Moxie Ops Agency, where she helps service-based business owners build scalable, process-reliant businesses that don't depend on them for every decision, task, and question.

    How to Build a Business That Feels as Good as It Looks with Jonathan Domsky (Episode 417)

    In today's episode, you'll discover: Why you feel like work is a slog, and why you're running on willpower instead of passion. And no matter how much you achieve, there's a quiet voice asking, "Is this really it?"   The concept of alignment: what it means to design your work, your relationships, and your daily environment so that they actually fit the way you think and what you most value. Practical tools and a fresh perspective on what it means to be truly successful — not just in business, but in your life. To support these three takeaways, I chose a quote from Brian Tracy: "Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance." About Jonathan Domsky: Jonathan Domsky coaches successful entrepreneurs whose minds don't run on default settings. After co-founding and leading Kidorable for over two decades, he discovered the work that truly made his heart sing — and now helps other founders do the same.

He lives and practices what he teaches — every single day.
