    Say goodbye to feeling inauthentic. Toss out the scripts that make you sound like you got stuck in the 1990s. Kick fear to the curb when asking for the sale. Liz Wendling shares with me how to create a more effective and non-salesy way to sell and generate more leads, clients and profit.
    She is straightforward, practical and sassy! She even used one of my messages to show how I was not doing myself justice with my prospect – and showed me how to improve on it. Wasn’t expecting to be the example of the “wrong approach” – but took it like a trooper.
    If you’re looking for inspiration that leads to action, Liz is your person. She knows how to transform professionals into wildly successful sales rock stars! Hang on to your hats!

    Pearls of Wisdom from Gail Doby – Interior Design Business Transformation Specialist | RR223

    Pearls of Wisdom from Gail Doby – Interior Design Business Transformation Specialist | RR223

    I first met Gail Doby, 12 years ago, and she was a force to be reckoned with in her industry, back then. Since then, she has built her business, The Pearl Collective, and reputation on helping creatives (in the design industry) work smart and transform their businesses into successful operations.
    Gail and I talk about the importance of building and nurturing relationships, the power of referrals, hiring and supporting valuable staff members, the business building blocks necessary for success – and so much more.
    Moving from a job in an industry you love to “going it alone” can be a big challenge and really talented designers falter – not for lack of design talent or intelligence – but because they do not have the tools, guidance, or support to create a healthy business.
    As you listen to Gail I’m sure you will be able to learn some tips that will help your entrepreneurial journey too.

Muselady ,

Genuine conversations with great inspirations

Janice has a wonderful, down-to-earth conversation style that she uses to great effect to draw out the guest’s best stories and illustrate their message. I listened to the Kind Folks Finish Last with Sam Jacobs. I received great insights on networking as a service opportunity. Janice knows how to pic guests that perfectly illustrate her relationships theme. I will be listening to more!

JefeInLA ,

Great conversations, more important than ever

Janice has built her message around the need for human connection. With polarized thinking everywhere and low-quality, AI-generated content flooding the internet, human connection is more important now than ever before, especially in business. Two thumbs way up for Relationship Rules!

Lizzzz W ,

Excellent content

Janice is a wonderful interviewer and makes her guests sound like they are in her living room. She is about relationship and it is felt in her interviews.
