| 0:00.0 | With this podcast, I've promised you I'd bring you nothing but the best sales |
| 0:04.7 | people in the world. And today we have one of them. This one even surprised me. |
| 0:11.1 | This rep basically hit me up on LinkedIn and when I do my post-looking for the |
| 0:17.5 | very best sales people to be on the show, nominated a lot of his friends and |
| 0:21.9 | then his friends nominated him. And I looked at the LinkedIn profile and I was like, |
| 0:27.3 | this should be okay. I guess I don't know. I don't know if it'll fit into because it really |
| 0:31.6 | wasn't a B to B sale. Exactly. He was selling to high net worth mostly doctors, which I guess |
| 0:39.5 | they have their own business. But it's much more of a one-on-one type of sale. But let's give it a try. |
| 0:47.2 | I had him on and it kind of blew me away. I think this is one of these episodes that you should |
| 0:52.6 | listen to once a month, once a week maybe because the whole idea about becoming great in sales |

| 1:22.9 | it kind of spirals downward. The difference between that and working smarter, figuring out the |
| 1:32.0 | puzzle of how do you get more sales in the same amount of time with the same amount of effort, |
| 1:39.3 | doing it smarter, getting rid of the low productivity activities and focusing on the highest |
| 1:46.9 | productivity activities. And we all kind of know this. But what happens is there's a single |
| 1:54.1 | manager that really allows this out there. Very few, unless they really trust the rep that the rep |
| 2:00.8 | knows what they're doing. But this is what I try to do in every job because I see the grinder |
| 2:07.4 | and they do okay. They maybe make their number. But I want it to blow the number away. I look at the |
| 2:13.3 | comp plan. It's all back and loaded. All the gravy is at the end of the meal. So we have to get |
| 2:21.0 | big deals. We have to get more of them. We can't be wasting our time with things that don't produce |
