    Transform Your Sales Results with the Right Mindset In this powerful mindset training session, international speaker and founder of Live at Choice, Belanie Dishong, reveals why 80% of sales success is driven by mindset—not skill, scripts, or market conditions. If you have ever hesitated to make a call, overexplained during a sales conversation, avoided high-value prospects, blamed a slow market, or taken rejection personally, this session will help you understand what is really happening beneath the surface. Key Insights You'll Discover: Why hesitation, self-doubt, and overexplaining silently reduce your closing rate How common sales beliefs can decrease effectiveness by 10% to 25% per pattern The hidden impact of believing the market is slow—or that you are overpriced How client “judgments” differ from objections—and why that distinction matters The concept of self-endorsement and how it transforms cold calls into confident conversations Why beliefs—not circumstances—create your results How to align your mindset so your skills can fully deliver Belanie walks you through practical exercises to calculate your current conversion ratio, identify mindset-driven effectiveness drops, and imagine what doubling your closing rate would mean for your revenue—and your life. This Is Not About Positive Thinking This session is not about surface-level motivation. It is about making strategic shifts in belief that eliminate internal resistance, increase clarity and confidence, and allow you to sell with certainty. If you are ready to stop fighting yourself in the sales process and start increasing revenue—without changing your product, price, or market—this training will challenge and expand the way you think about performance and success.

    Alfred White & Michele Mere Feist - Are You Leaving Money On The Table - Speaker Series - 2026-02-25

    Network In Action: The Complete Blueprint for Business Financial Success In this powerful Network In Action session, founder Scott Talley brings together two financial experts to deliver a complete blueprint for business financial success: Alfred White – Tax Strategist & Author Michele Mere Feist – Founder of Bottom Line Bookkeeping Solutions This isn’t just a tax talk. And it isn’t just a bookkeeping lesson. It’s a full financial strategy session designed to help entrepreneurs keep more money, gain clarity, and build stronger, more profitable businesses. Part 1: Advanced Tax Strategies with Alfred White With over 30 years of experience in taxation, Alfred breaks down powerful, legal tax-reduction strategies for both business owners and W-2 earners. Key Topics Covered: Permanent 20% Qualified Business Income (QBI) Deduction SALT deduction increase to $40,000 Expanded bonus depreciation and R&D write-offs Overtime and tip deductions Child tax credit increases and adoption credit updates Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and retirement optimization Automobile interest deduction (U.S.-assembled vehicles) S-Corp income-shifting strategies The Augusta Rule Paying your children through your business Accountable plans and family management companies Alfred also shares real-world case studies of clients who legally reduced six-figure tax liabilities through proactive strategic planning. His core message: It’s not just what you make — it’s what you keep. Part 2: Bookkeeping That Builds Profitable Businesses with Michele Mere Feist After tax strategy comes the foundation: accurate, strategic bookkeeping. Michele shares how her frustration as a business coach — seeing clients operate with inaccurate or unusable financials — led her to launch Bottom Line Bookkeeping Solutions in 2021. Her message is clear: You cannot grow, scale, or sell a business built on bad numbers. The Financial Clarity Self-Assessment Michele walks attendees through a 20-question yes-or-no scorecard designed to evaluate bookkeeping health. Business owners are challenged to ask: Are payroll and sales taxes filed correctly and on time? Does my accountant have to fix my books every year? Do I know my most and least profitable services? Do I know my cost to acquire a customer? Do my numbers help me make decisions — not just file taxes? The 5-Minute Financial Review Framework Michele introduces a simple system every owner should implement weekly: Review your Profit and Loss Statement (current month and year-to-date) Review your Balance Sheet Review Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable aging reports Hold regular financial conversations Major Bookkeeping Red Flags Negative liability accounts Credit cards reported incorrectly Loan balances not decreasing properly Poorly configured bank feed rules in accounting software Her core message: Bookkeeping is not compliance. It’s clarity. Why This Session Matters Alfred teaches you how to legally reduce taxes. Michele teaches you how to build financial visibility and confidence. Together, they provide: Tax efficiency Financial clarity Smarter decision-making Sustainable growth This session delivers both sides of business finance — strategy and structure. Who Should Watch? Small business owners Entrepreneurs Sales professionals Contractors Real estate investors Growing company leaders This is essential viewing.
