The AI for Sales Podcast

Did you know that more than half of the Fortune 500 companies since 2000 have gone under because they were not diversifying? Having gone through the adversity brought about by the pandemic, you would probably agree that in this economy (and in any economy, for that matter), you have to either diversify or die. The Rainmaker herself, Jackie Rainforth joins Chad Burmeister in this episode to stress out the importance of being willing to pivot and move your team towards social selling, remote work, and all things digital. That can be a lot to handle because let’s face it, change is never comfortable. Pivoting into digital has many layers to it and it requires a lot of changes in your systems, processes, people, and mindset. A lot of that comes down to leadership and this is why you have to listen to what Jackie has to say.

One of the common mistakes many entrepreneurs find themselves when starting their business is they don’t plan for their exit. Not to be a pessimist, but planning to exit your business is a crucial part of success, especially if you want to leave better than when you started it. In this episode, Chad Burmeister sits down with Michelle Seiler-Tucker, the founder and President of Seiler Tucker, to talk about the difference between founders who exit rich and exit poor. Bringing her book, Exit Rich, she shares some of the gloomy statistics among small businesses who fall so in love with their own that they fail to plan. Michelle then shares what you can do to exit rich with strategies you can implement in running your company. As they say, those who plan to fail, fail to plan. Get your business’ worth and exit the right way!

A lot of people think of AI as impersonal because they confuse it with automation, but true AI can, in many ways, enhance the humanness of humans themselves. This shows up powerfully in sales in the form of Buy-ology, a way of using AI to help sales professionals sell more effectively by categorizing people into buyer types based on their buying personalities. It is a bit more complicated than it sounds, but it does hold the promise of better productivity in sales. It’s certainly exciting to think about the possibility of accurately lining up the right lead to the right person at the right time. Listen in as Certified BANKCODE Trainer, Susan Younger explains how this works in this conversation with Chad Burmeister. Like Chad, Susan firmly believes in the potential of AI to bring humanity back into the workplace. You’ll shortly find out why.

We have historically regarded sales quotas as all about numbers and justifiably so. After all, quotas do mean numbers, right? Not exactly. SalesGlobe founder and managing partner, Mark Donnolo contends that organizations can achieve better results by dealing with sales quotas with a problem-solving approach. In his book, “Quotas!” he introduces a five-step design-thinking process that totally changes the way we think about sales quotas.
