Business Creators Radio Show With Adam Hommey

When you think of sales, have you ever felt: You have to be sleazy or inauthentic in sales in order to grow your business and take it to the next level. The gift of charm or the use of manipulative sales techniques are the only ways to get ahead in your business. You can’t show up as yourself in sales calls or else you won’t convert. You know deep inside you should start having more sales conversations or you desire to have the ability to enroll more of the right clients from your existing pipeline. And yet, there’s something that is holding you back. Many times, the fear of rejection combined with a lack of sales skill can hinder your ability to have the courageous conversations that convert. People often admit that they struggle with going into sales conversations feeling like they have to defend the value of their services and convince prospects to work with them. What comes up before the sales conversation will come out as you’re talking to prospects, from your willingness to connect initially all the way to your follow-through after the call. When you go in feeling like you need to convince someone to work with you, you’re naturally starting the conversation off-balance, undermining your confidence and the value you can provide. Dr. Nadia Brown gets it. She used to feel the same way until she learned how to show up fully and powerfully to sales conversations with prospects and guide them to the buying decision that is best for them. Dr. Brown joins Adam to share why courage may be the most critical sales skill you need.

Influencers worldwide face the threat of being cancelled every time they speak, tweet, TikTok, or what have you. Cancel culture is a term referring to a modern form of ostracism in which someone is thrust out of social or professional circles – whether it be online, on social media, or in person. In this day and age, one toe out of line could get you cancelled. However, you can avoid the cancel culture and just focus on being an influencer; someone in your industry who is seen as a high-level expert and a person of interest to follow. Becoming an influencer takes time, planning, and a lot of work. You have to figure out where your audience is. Create your story…something memorable. Then there’s honing your story, building on it, speaking on it, and so much more. That’s where Vito Glazer steps in.

Q: What’s the difference between a life coach and a 14” pizza? A: A 14” pizza CAN feed a family of four.  After suffering a massive setback and losing millions of dollars, Jonny Cooper set out on a quest to build a real, authentic lifestyle for himself. He’d made millions “doing it for the money”. Now it was time to do it for purpose. For 5 years, he was on the frontline with his clients, crawling through the mud to help them grow their dreams and serving clients in almost every industry you can imagine. It was hard, thankless work. Jonny felt a misalignment. Tired of being a hamster in a wheel, he sat down in a quiet room over a long weekend and took stock of his most rewarding client experiences. And here’s what hit him like a frying pan to the jaw… Over the 5 years as a general business consultant, Jonny’s best clients were not restaurants, hotels, or lipo-suction clinics…They were coaches and therapists! But he also discovered that the average coaching revenue around the world is less than $30k. This means that so many gifted and inspiring entrepreneurs are not achieving the impact they and their clients deserve, because they’re no good at marketing. These guys are often great at delivery, but lousy at finding enough of their ideal clients to make a living out of it. Jonny is making it his mission to change this. He joins Adam to uncover the three reasons most coaches will always be broke. Discover: The main reason most online coaches and therapists around the world are barely paying the bills from their business The Three Pillars of Effortless Marketing The difference between strategies and tactics How to avoid being overwhelmed by social media What you much have in place before you start marketing And so much more How would it feel to have clients actually chasing you? Jonny will show you how. The post Three Reasons You’ll Always Be A Broke Coach, With Jonny Cooper first appeared on Business Creators Radio Show with Adam Hommey.

So much sales training and sales coaching being sold today is based on the old sales principles of “chasing” and “follow-up” with prospects who often times never call you back. It’s often packaged as “consultative sales training”, but it’s typically just a wrapping on top of traditional sales techniques and processes. The world has changed dramatically in the last couple of years. No longer will your sales prospects tolerate any sales approaches or systems that feel like they are being “sold”. Selling doesn’t have to be painful and you don’t have to sacrifice your core values to experience sales success. Selling no longer has to be a de-humanizing experience, putting you in a position of having to endlessly “chase” your prospective clients… which you shouldn’t have to do as a professional. That’s why Trust-Based Selling is a major breakthrough in the field of sales…because it teaches a completely different mindset shift along with trust-based languaging. Ari Galper has made it his life mission to give you, the clarity you are missing, through two decades of working with thousands of business owners and sales leaders all over the world, refining Trust-Based Selling to a true art form. Ari and Adam discuss: The core story behind the invention of Trust-Based Selling The three sales myths we need to confront Three core principles to unlocking the sales game Steps to selling follow-up Ways to stop chasing decision makers And so much more Are you ready to completely change your selling game and increase your profits?

Think that processes and systems alone can get your company where it needs to go? Think again! Imagine having a company or a team that has your back. Not only do they have your back, but they also look out for problems before they occur, conceptualize their own solutions, and coordinate to get them implemented. They even look at the long-term horizon with you. The long-term horizon needs to be supported by a strategically built organizational culture, or your bottom line will be impacted. But how do you move the needle on that when it seems so nebulous? That’s where Andrew Kim steps in. Plenty of books highlight the importance of culture in successful companies, but they don’t show you how to actually build it, overcome associated challenges, align it with strategy, and leverage that infrastructure for the next level of growth. In Andrew’s new book, Culture for the Left-Brained Leader, he combines lessons from practical insights to shift this from a vague, undefined concept into a strategic and tactical advantage that you can implement on your own. Andrew shares his concept and strategies in this interview with Adam. Discover: Why the left-brained perspective is valuable Why the left-brained perspective is unique What you can do with this left-brained perspective How to get started And so much more! These are massive benefits that can make a tremendous impact on your life.

A diverse cannabis industry is one that serves and benefits multiple communities, business owners, and consumers. An equitable cannabis industry is one that represents marginalized communities in leadership roles: founders, owners, CEOs, board members, investors, and so on. An inclusive cannabis industry is one that provides marginalized communities with ownership opportunities, builds businesses that give back to underserved populations, actively fights for individuals and communities harmed by the War on Drugs and the stigmas and stereotypes around cannabis, and commits to creating businesses where all identities are honored. Although these are the ideal end results, we can all play a part in moving towards a diverse, equitable, and inclusive cannabis industry. Education and activism are key components to this fight, and with that comes a responsibility to understand the nuances around the discussion. Dan Serard has been working in the cannabis industry for years. He knows all too well the importance of diversity and inclusivity within marketing, within business, and within education. Dan joins Adam to discuss: What diversity, equity, and inclusion means What diversity, equity, and inclusion looks like in the cannabis industry What intersectionality has to do with cannabis marketing Why we need inclusive marketing in the cannabis industry And so much more Now, more than ever, it’s important for all brands to not only make a statement but show their customers their core values are rooted in DEI through action.
