You just made a new connection on LinkedIn that would be a great prospect, is it too soon to reach out?

What should you do when your Sales Manager doesn’t do things the way you would do them? 

In this first episode of 2019, Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale address a question from the CoVideo mail bag from a listener, who brings up how his manager makes demands on him, referring to a very specific scenario.

Bill and Bryan take this question a little bit broader to the notion of how do you manage your manager, if that’s even possible?

/in , , , , , /by

In this episode of The Advanced Selling Podcast, Bill and Bryan begin the planning process for 2019, but they start in a completely different way than you’re used to.

The first step in preparation of next year is to take inventory of the beliefs that we might have in sales that hold us back. Then the next step is to begin to release those beliefs and in their place, insert beliefs that are more conducive to higher achievement.

If you’re interested in bringing Bill or Bryan or both into your company for a year-end sales training, send us a note at [email protected] and we’ll get back with you to discuss your team!

What Story Are You Telling Yourself?

/in , , , , , , /by

In this episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill deals with a problem that we ALL have, but most likely don’t know they have. The problem is the stories that run in our mind. 

As Bill seeks to help you 2X your business, it seems odd not to talk about the deadly roadblocks on the journey, namely, our beliefs about ourselves. Bill gives you a framework of how to come to grips with what those stories are and how they could hold us back.

If you would like to have your question answered on the podcast, send Bill your voice question by recording a Voice Memo and sending it to: [email protected]. He’ll be sure to get it in the rotation!
