    https://wesschaeffer.com/blog/joe-templin    The Sales Podcast: Interview with Joe Templin | Author of Every Day Excellence and Becoming an Introduction Machine   In this episode of The Sales Podcast, I sit down with Joe Templin, also known as “The Human Kaizen,” to dive into his insights on personal and business growth. Joe is the author of two powerful books: Every Day Excellence, which provides daily wisdom and actionable strategies for self-improvement, and Becoming an Introduction Machine, a guide to building a referral-based business in under 90 days.   Key Topics:   • The philosophy of Kaizen and how it can drive consistent improvement in business and life. • How to become an “Introduction Machine” and create a network that fuels your business. • Practical tips for building a sustainable, referral-driven business model. • Actionable takeaways from Every Day Excellence to help you achieve peak performance daily.   Whether you’re looking to expand your network, improve your business, or optimize your personal growth, this episode is packed with insights to help you succeed.   Takeaways —Kaizen is a philosophy of continuous improvement that can be applied to sales processes and personal development. —Making small, incremental improvements in sales processes and oneself can lead to significant long-term growth. —Personalized reach-outs and follow-up calls are effective strategies for building relationships and generating sales. —Cold calling can be challenging, but it can be made more efficient by combining it with the psychology of referred lead selling. —Sales managers and small business owners can motivate their teams to make outbound calls by emphasizing the importance of continuous improvement and providing support and resources. Gamification can be an effective tool to motivate salespeople and create a culture of competition and achievement. —Sales managers should apply science and understand what works and what doesn't in order to effectively coach and support their sales team. —Building trust is crucial in sales, and salespeople should focus on understanding their clients' needs and finding ways to make their lives easier or better. —Sales managers should shift their focus from closing deals to building processes and providing coaching and support to their sales team. —Success in sales and personal growth requires belief in oneself, a focus on serving others, and consistent effort to improve. —Taking action and seeking help, such as hiring a coach or mentor, can greatly contribute to achieving sales and personal goals.   Sound Bites —"Kaizen is about embracing the better truth and making micro improvements over and over again." —"Continuous improvement is the key to unlocking your potential as an individual, leader, and salesperson." —"Put the locus of control back inside and make yourself and your offer the best they can be." —"The Zoomer generation has grown up in a world where everything is about getting patches and stars and awards for things." —"How can I help you do it? Okay, you didn't do it yesterday. You need to do it today or else you're gonna go on yellow alert." —"Most salespeople have not had sales training. They've had product training from their companies and they call that sales training."   � Subscribe for more expert interviews and sales tips!

    Build a Digital Network: The Key to Sales Success, With Scott Leese

    Today, you're going to learn the key to sales success in this current hectic sales climate from a unicorn wrangler. How to create sales success has changed since 2020. Scott Leese has been a part of 12 unicorns, so he knows a thing or three about growing sales rapidly. We touch on: The importance of being creative and trying new approaches in sales. The need for an omnichannel approach in prospecting. The role of fear and resistance to change in sales leaders. The value of building a digital network for sales success People are often resistant to trying new sales techniques because they fear failure. The devil we know is often more comfortable than trying something new. Many sales professionals are willing to make cold calls repeatedly, even though they often result in rejection, but they are quick to give up on new techniques after just one attempt. Startups and sales leaders often fail because they are unwilling to move away from what is familiar, even if it is not yielding the desired results. Scott Leese emphasizes the importance of taking risks and not being afraid of failure. "The way to stand out in the AI world is to be as human as freaking possible." "Encourage creativity and coach it out of people." 00:00 Surfing and Sales 02:07 Unicorns and Exits 09:29 Creativity in Sales 14:13 Sales Leadership Challenges 21:12 Resistance to Trying New Sales Techniques 23:05 The Comfort of the Familiar 25:01 The Persistence of Cold Calling 27:55 The Fear of Moving Away from the Familiar 30:31 Surf and Sales: Combining Learning with a Vacation 37:12 Taking Risks and Embracing Failure Market like you mean it.
