    Marketing That Sounds Like You with Chloe Jenkins

    Send us Fan Mail Your marketing can be everywhere and still say nothing. We sit down with Chloe Jenkins, marketing strategist and owner of Chloe Creative, to get brutally clear on what makes people stop scrolling and start trusting you. The answer is not more hustle and it is not a new platform. It is a messaging strategy you can stick to, delivered with consistency so your audience learns what you stand for and why you are the expert to hire.  We talk about authority marketing in a noisy online world, why AI-written copy often “sounds fine” but fails to connect, and how to build repeatable talking points that travel across LinkedIn, email marketing, social media, and your website. Chloe walks us through a StoryBrand-inspired approach where the client is the hero and we act as the guide, then shows how to turn a big promise into practical content pillars rooted in real daily stressors. If you’ve ever felt stuck thinking, “What do I post this week?” this conversation gives you a cleaner system.  We also dig into consistency that fits real life: picking a schedule you can sustain, deciding whether batching and scheduling tools help, and why engagement still matters when you hit publish. Then we zoom out to LinkedIn newsletters versus articles and the bigger truth behind declining reach: changing tactics won’t help if the message is framed around you instead of your client’s problem.  If you found this useful, subscribe, share it with a business owner who’s tired of guessing at content, and leave a review so more people can find the show. What’s one line in your marketing you’ll rewrite from your client’s point of view? The Personal Operating System Course will help you become more focused, efficient and effective in your work. The Course will be available on June 25th! Here's the good news: it is a $199 value we're releasing initially for only $27. Link to the course on June 25th!

    A Personal Operating System You Actually Want To Use

    Send us Fan Mail Your schedule is packed, your desk is chaos, and yet you still feel behind. That’s not a character flaw, it’s a systems problem, and we’re done pretending more hustle will fix it. We want to help you increase revenue and net income while reclaiming the time and peace of mind that success is supposed to buy, not destroy. We introduce a practical personal operating system, not “time management,” because nobody manages time. The goal is self-management: gaining control over how you respond to your environment, how you handle other people’s problems, and how you protect your attention during your best working hours. When your commitments and focus aren’t constantly being hijacked, stress drops, decisions get easier, and business outcomes improve. The foundation is the clarity principle. We walk through the first of three guiding questions: what do you want from your business, then set up why you want it and how you’ll get it. We also connect clarity to values, using a quick exercise at think2perform.com/values to identify your top five values so your goals match what matters most. And we draw a clear line between wishful thinking and real progress: hope is not a strategy, a clear plan is. Press play, do the values exercise, and start brainstorming a vivid, specific picture of what you actually want. If this helps, subscribe, share it with a friend who feels trapped by work, and leave a review so more people can find the Commission Code.

    Using Visual Models To Win Complex Sales

    Send us Fan Mail Most deals don’t die because your price is too high or your competitor is better. They die because the buyer can’t confidently decide what “good” looks like and how to get there. That’s why this conversation with Simon Bowen hit so hard for us. Simon has spent years walking into messy rooms, from government groups to defense stakeholders to massive infrastructure teams, and getting them aligned fast by drawing the right visual models. We dig into Simon’s “models method” and the idea that every business runs on two systems: a system for thinking and a system for influence. When you can build a shared framework on a whiteboard, you’re no longer pushing opinions. You’re creating a shared mental model that people can test, improve, and commit to. That same approach translates directly into complex B2B sales, consultative selling, and sales enablement because the customer helps build the model, and it becomes much harder to argue with a solution they contributed to. We also challenge the oversimplified “learning styles” debate and talk about how the brain makes meaning through imagery. Visual communication isn’t a gimmick. It’s a direct route to comprehension and recall, especially when the visual has structure. You’ll hear us break down the moment buyers move from “I see it” to “I get it” and why that shift creates decision confidence. The biggest takeaway is simple: stop selling and start facilitating. If you want more closed deals, better customer loyalty, and fewer stalled opportunities, focus on helping buyers make a fully informed decision, even when it means recommending a different fit. Subscribe for more practical sales and business growth conversations, share this with a friend who hates “pushy” selling, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

    The Professional Sales Mindset That Builds Trust And Revenue With Tania Cazin

    Send us Fan Mail Selling has a reputation problem, and we don’t fix it with louder scripts or sneakier “close” tricks. We fix it by returning to what actually works: trust, service, and a real human conversation. That’s why we brought on Tania Cazin from Stalwart Sales Training and Consulting - a master sales trainer who built her career to a consistent 90% closing ratio in commission-only, one-call close environments. She is the creator of the proven 12-Step Stalwart® Selling System – and it is with this system why her clients see up to a 700% growth in a very short time. Her message is blunt and refreshing: high performance doesn’t require pressure, and manipulation is a dead end if you care about your name, your referrals, and your long-term revenue.   We dig into what separates a salesperson from a professional salesperson, and why the difference matters more than ever. Anyone can enter sales, but not everyone is trained well or showing up with the right intent. We talk about how bad experiences teach prospects to fear salespeople, and how you rebuild safety quickly by asking open-ended questions, listening deeply, and focusing on solving real problems. Tania breaks down her proven, proprietary 12-step Stalwart® Selling System, how it uses behavioral science and psychology without “boxing people in,” and why the goal is for buyers to feel good after they purchase, not regretful on the drive home.   You’ll also hear practical coaching for newer reps: use a script as a starting point, but don’t cling to it so hard that you stop listening. Build instinct by getting real reps in the field, relax into authenticity, and let the prospect do most of the talking. If you want a more ethical, repeatable way to improve your closing ratio, increase sales revenue, and protect your reputation, you’ll get a lot from this conversation. Subscribe, share this with a friend who says they “hate sales,” and leave a review with the one trait you trust most in a salesperson. Learn more about Tania Cazin and her 12-Step Stalwart® Selling System at StalwartSales.com.   The Personal Operating System Course will help you become more focused, efficient and effective in your work.

    What Does It Take To Earn A Place In Someone’s Inbox: Ely Delaney

    Send us Fan Mail Most follow-up breaks down long before the first email goes out. We’ve both seen it: someone buys a shiny new CRM, opens the campaign builder, and realizes they don’t have the “Lego pieces” to build anything worth sending. That’s why we bring on email marketing specialist and ghostwriter Eli Delaney, the guy who “fixes your follow-up,” to talk about what actually keeps leads warm and relationships strong. We dig into the real goal of email marketing and lead nurturing: staying top of mind without becoming spammy or salesy. Eli shares a simple framework for writing helpful emails, using an 80/20 balance of giving value versus asking for the sale, and curating resources like books, podcasts, and tools your audience will genuinely thank you for. We also talk about consistency the smart way, including how “inconsistently consistent” timing can reduce that mass-blast feeling while still building trust over time. AI and ChatGPT come up too, with a clear warning: speed isn’t strategy. If you don’t know your market, your voice, and your plan, AI can help you send mediocre emails faster and burn out your list. If you do know those things, it can become a drafting assistant that supports better copywriting and stronger results. We wrap with Eli’s new book, Follow-Up Code, inspired by the seven virtues of Bushido, and how respect, integrity, and clarity translate into email marketing that can last for decades. If you get value from this conversation, subscribe, share it with a business owner who needs a better follow-up system, and leave us a review so more people can find the show.

    What If Success Costs Your Kids with George Rivera

    Send us Fan Mail Your calendar might be the real reason you feel stuck. We sit down with entrepreneur and author George Rivera to talk about what happens when the founder becomes the bottleneck: the business can’t grow without you, your team can’t decide without you, and your family gets the leftovers. George shares the wake-up call that forced him to rethink success, plus the practical framework he now uses to help business owners buy back time without losing momentum. We dig into the simple but uncomfortable starting point: a time audit that exposes the work you should not be doing at all. From there, we walk through the three decisions that create leverage fast: eliminate what doesn’t move the needle, automate repetitive tasks with modern AI tools, and delegate with ownership by defining outcomes and decision rights. We also talk about the hidden tax of interruptions, why “quick questions” destroy deep work, and how a short weekly meeting cadence can protect your zone of genius. Then we get concrete about self-management: calendar guardrails, batching email, planning the week ahead, and compressing hours so priorities become obvious. George also points to the bigger why behind productivity for entrepreneurs, especially founder parents, because you only get so many summers with your kids and regret is expensive. If you want more business growth with less chaos, listen now, subscribe for more conversations like this, and share it with a founder who’s burning out. After you listen, leave a review and tell us: what would you eliminate first to get your life back?

    Stop Chasing Shiny Objects And Sell More With Sheila Howell

    Send us Fan Mail Social media can feel like the only way to grow a real estate business, but what if the fastest path is still the oldest one: being visible, talking to people, and following a simple plan. We sit down with Sheila Howell, a real estate professional and mentor, to get practical about what actually helps new agents build momentum, especially when they’re balancing another job, a family, and a packed calendar. We get specific about real estate lead generation and the numbers that matter. Sheila breaks down why you have to start at the top of the sales funnel, then track a few clean metrics you can act on, like meaningful conversations and conversion rate. We talk open houses as a real business strategy: how newer agents can get the opportunity to host, how to market beyond the MLS with Facebook and Instagram, when door knocking makes sense, and why “too much traffic” can still hurt if you can’t connect with people. Then we zoom out to the long game: building trust in your community. Sheila shares ideas like PTA, church, local events, and even hosting face-to-face workshops at the library to position yourself as a helpful local expert. We also cover self-management habits like calendar blocking and Sunday planning, and we end with a reminder every entrepreneur needs: avoid shiny objects and stay focused on the few strategies that move the needle. If you’re a new real estate agent, a team leader, or anyone building a commission-based business, this one is packed with actionable tactics. Subscribe, share it with an agent who needs clarity, and leave a review, then tell us: what’s the one strategy you’re committing to for the next 30 days?

    What If Your Next Breakthrough Starts With One Call, with Jaclyn Strominger

    Send us Fan Mail Plateaus are sneaky. One day the business feels like it is climbing, and the next day it feels like you are repeating the same week on loop with the same revenue, the same bottlenecks, and the same “busy” calendar. We sit down with Jaclyn Strominger to talk about how leaders and business owners break that pattern with clarity, courage, and a simple discipline that keeps you moving forward. We dig into her “Measure Monitor And Adjust” framework for business growth: revisit your vision and mission, check whether your “why” has changed, and then test small shifts instead of blowing everything up. We also get practical about career development and leadership coaching, including why you should tell your leaders where you want to go and how to use informational interviews to learn the real path to the role you want. If you are tired of sending applications into the void, this part will hit home. Then we get into relationship capital and networking strategy. We talk about choosing the right rooms, building trust the long way, and why authentic selling always beats clever scripts. Jaclyn also shares her Relationship Capital ROI Challenge and how it helps you identify who to connect with and what to connect around so relationships actually produce results. If you want better sales, better opportunities, and a calendar that matches your priorities, you will leave with a plan. Subscribe to the Commission Code Podcast, share this with a friend who feels stuck, and leave a review so more business owners can find it.
