We Are Bigger Than Our Jobs!

5/23/2024

 
Picture
By Natalie Wittmann
In my role as an executive and life coach, clients are often seeking help with finding meaning for themselves that is bigger than their work identity, especially when their work identity is leaving them feeling less than fulfilled.  Transitioning to the “what’s next” after retirement also invites the big questions about who am I, bigger-than-my-career.  This focus on purpose and meaning is why I was especially drawn to Christina Wallace’s new book: The Portfolio Life, after listening to her interviewed on Dan Harris’s 10% Happier podcast.

This past week, as a gold sponsor at Business Connections, I talked about the importance of revitalizing for business owners and professionals. If you were unable to attend, here is my presentation. Each slide is 15 to 20 seconds, there are only 14 slides, and it will be well worth your time to take in its message. This article will delve a little deeper into why people striving for a higher level of success need to make sure they know how to revitalize and manage energy, like pros.

Two Simple Sandler Questioning Rules That Improve Closing Ratios

4/25/2024

 
Picture
By Cal Thomas, Sandler Morristown
As sales professionals, it’s our job to determine our prospective buyer’s pain. How? By asking the right questions at the right time and in the right way. When we do this, our closing ratios improve. When we don’t, those same ratios get worse. Of course, we all want better closing ratios. That means we will want to start from the position that there is no room in our world for mind-reading.

The New Definition of Balance: A Revelation by a Libra

4/25/2024

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer, Performance Lifestyle® Coach and Founder of the Regenus Center

In the hustle of modern life, the concept of "balance" often gets tossed aside—dismissed as unachievable by many who have themselves struggled to maintain it. As a Libra, reputedly the zodiac sign of balance, I find it apt to challenge this notion and redefine what balance means for the ambitious, the creative, and everyone in between.

Sell Like You Don’t Need the Business

By Cal Thomas, Sandler Morristown
You may have heard the old saying that 90 percent of success happens between the ears. That’s easy enough to say. But what does putting this principle into practice really mean? What does it look like when it shows up, in a discussion with a prospective buyer, as part of who we really are?

​
In an era obsessed with the quest for productivity, a bold statement cuts through the noise, challenging deeply entrenched beliefs: a long-concealed productivity secret has been unveiled.

In today's always-on world, the prevalence of severe stress is not just a concern; it's becoming a norm. The American Psychological Association (APA) reports that 24% of Americans rate their stress at a distressing 8 out of 10 or higher, a significant increase from 2019. This escalating stress is taking a toll, with 47% of people yearning for more support, and 61% feeling the pressure to endure silently. A staggering 33% feel persistently overwhelmed, finding themselves unable to manage stress effectively.

What Is Your Buyer’s Journey – And How Does It Affect Your Selling Strategy?

2/22/2024

 
Picture
By Cal Thomas, Sandler Morristown
Not all buyers have the same priorities … but sometimes we make the mistake of imagining they do. The buyer’s journey has certain discrete stages. It’s our responsibility as sales professionals to understand these stages, identify the priorities that connect to each stage, and then adapt to those priorities. ​ An important early stage of this journey is called Engagement. This is where buyers start talking about what they think they need.

Discover the Life-Changing Potential of This One Habit for Thriving in All Aspects of Your Life

1/25/2024

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM” Entrepreneur, Health & Performance Lifestyle® Coach, Founder Regenus Center,™ 
We often hear about thriving, so let's start by understanding what it means.  Thriving refers to progressing toward or realizing a goal despite or because of circumstances. The terms 'thrive' and 'flourish' are often used interchangeably and have similar meanings. Both words imply a state of growth, success, and prosperity in various areas of life. However, 'thrive' can also carry the connotation of overcoming challenges and adversity, while 'flourish' emphasizes a state of abundance and prosperity. This article focuses on thriving and explores the one habit most responsible for making it happen. By cultivating this habit effectively, flourishing becomes a natural evolution.

When Your Foot Hurts, You're Probably Standing on Your Own Toe

1/25/2024

 
Picture
By Cal Thomas, Sandler Morristown
As salespeople, we can sometimes be our own worst enemy when it comes to communicating or interacting with buyers. There’s a Radiohead song called “Just,” with a lyrical hook that says, “You do it to yourself.” That’s pretty much the soundtrack to the modern sales professional’s life.  We don’t always want to believe it, but the hard truth is, when there’s a problem, the odds are pretty good that we did it to ourselves.

David Sandler’s famous Success Triangle looks like this: 
• Attitude is what happens between your ears.
• Technique is what you learn to do.
• Behavior is what you do consistently—what you put into practice. 
Those three corners on the triangle can drive our ascent to our fullest and highest potential, not just in sales, but in life. ​

Why is Harnessing Energy the Crux of Your Productivity

11/22/2023

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer "JAM"; JAM is a Leading Performance Lifestyle® Coach
A Performance Lifestyle is where your daily lifestyle habits promote, high level function, health, happiness, the capacity to perform well, and be productive.
A High-Performance Lifestyle is one where all of the above is true, but you’ve got an edge, and that edge is the proactive cultivation of extra ordinary levels of energy when you need it most, providing mental clarity, and a higher level of energy for your body brain to recover and heal faster and be super sharp.

Your Secret Weapon for Customer Success: Quarterly Value Reviews

11/22/2023

 
Picture
By Cal Thomas, Sandler Morristown
Key customer accounts are like vast fields of dark, rich, fertile soil.  Your selling and serving teams have the seeds of growth in hand. But to grow or even retain important accounts, you must deliver success on the customer’s terms. That means maintaining high-level client executive relationships is essential. And these relationships must be based on value, as defined from the client’s perspective.

Healthy Aging, the High-Performance Lifestyle and Longevity

10/19/2023

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer "JAM"; JAM is a Leading Performance Lifestyle® Coach
In this article, I will share three big ideas about Healthy Aging, the High-Performance Lifestyle, and Longevity that will help a group of people who are likely already achieving at least close to their full potential as they see it right now and doing extraordinary things, to live with even more potential, in better health and for longer.  The potential I’m talking about is the life force energy that gives us power. Accelerating its recovery is at the heart of healthy aging, a high-performance lifestyle, and longevity, and it’s largely a secret to most people.  Most people search their entire life for it and never find it. It is the needle in the haystack.

Strike While the Iron is Hot: Use the “Close” to Set up Future Wins

10/19/2023

 
Picture
By Cal Thomas, Sandler Morristown
Often, the easiest person to sell something to is the person you’ve already sold something to.  We forget this sometimes. Perhaps that’s because of the terminology we use. It’s quite common for salespeople and sales managers to talk about “closing the sale” – but is that word “close” really the best way to describe what’s really happening when there’s a decision to purchase our product or service?

Soak Away the Effects of Stress in a Hot / Cold Immersion - Without Having to Go to the Artic!

9/21/2023

 
Picture
By Performance Lifestyle Coach John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM” Founder of Regenus Center
​​
However much we want to deny it, Excess Stress is an unfortunate part of the human experience, and it can have various effects on our bodies, such as fatigue, inflammation, and a weakened immune system. As most of us juggle external responsibilities that range from work deadlines to family care, we all have stressful times and days that feel overwhelming and deplete our vital energy, giving rise to the added low-grade biological stress of tiredness itself, inflammation, and pain. 
​
While hot tubs and traditional saunas often get the spotlight regarding stress relief, ironically, "cold water immersions," traditionally known as "ice baths," or “plunges into a lake ice-opening,” are an overlooked source of recovery from stress, relief, and relaxation (believe it or not) with the added benefits of reducing inflammation and pain.

The "FORCE MULTIPLIER" Most Sales Teams Don't Bother to Deploy

9/21/2023

 
Picture
By Cal Thomas, Sandler Morristown
One of the most powerful ideas for maximizing team sales productivity is a surprisingly simple one: “Don’t buy back tomorrow what you sold today.”  At Sandler, we believe that sales process and methodology ought to be consistent across all seller roles. Having different parts of the sales team learning and executing different approaches results in a siloed strategy. That not only wastes resources, but it also sends inconsistent signals to clients and customers, and it undermines the customer experience.

Activate Your Soul Force to Look, Feel and Perform Better Than Ever Before

What is Soul Force? Soul force is your Spirit-driven power, powered by life force energy or vital energy. Countless spiritual and philosophical traditions are built on these two layers of being that exist before who and how you are in the world.  Your own experience will support them as well, and when you can activate and harness them as one, your life, energy levels, health and performance, and more will never be the same. They will be forever better.

The One Technique That Empowers You to Run a Great Sales Meeting

8/21/2023

 
Picture
By Cal Thomas, Sandler Morristown
What’s the key to running a great sales meeting?  At Sandler, we teach that success in this critical area lies in learning to propose a specific type of agreement before anything of consequence happens between the participants -- an agreement about what, exactly, is going to take place during the discussion that’s about to unfold. The act of proposing this agreement levels the psychological playing field between buyer and seller. Which is why this particular technique, known as the up-front contract, is such a game-changer.

Say Goodbye to Burning Out

7/20/2023

 
Picture
By John Allen Mollenhauer “JAM” Founder of Regenus Center
Let me briefly introduce you to the idea of living a Performance Lifestyle® (PL).  A performance lifestyle is for individuals who are driven and aspire to achieve their ambitious goals without burning out, or coping with a hidden downward spiral, that causes many high achievers to sacrifice their health for success.  In a Performance Lifestyle, the primary emphasis is staying grounded in what you really are, in the right relationship with who you are, so that you’ve got the highest level of control over how you achieve your goals.  Also, making sure your body is regularly recharged, recovered, restored, and rejuvenated with what’s becoming more popularly known as life force energy.  You need high levels of life force energy to maintain the health and high performance you need to succeed with good quality of life. Gone are the days when willing yourself through tiredness, exhaustion or fatigue is a smart strategy for performing well.

Ask This One Powerful Question … Before You Agree to Deliver A Presentation

7/20/2023

 
Picture
By Cal Thomas, Sandler Morristown
​When a prospect asks you to deliver a presentation, do you instantly agree?  Lots of salespeople do. Sometimes it’s because they’re excited about the possibility of engaging directly with a person they haven’t been able to meet yet.  Sometimes it’s because they think that any sign of interest from a prospect should be quickly rewarded. And sometimes it’s because they just love being the center of attention!  But in reality, none of these justifications are strategically sound reasons for a salesperson to agree to deliver a formal presentation.  Here’s why. ​
