  • How to Become a Remarkable Sales Leader with Ben Ward

    One of the most powerful and most challenging skills we can learn is how to sell like an authentic leader. No matter what our mission or business is, we need to be able to sell it in order for it to succeed. I love learning from the best sales leaders about how to do this right, and what it takes to change our mindset about selling like a true leader.

    Ben Ward is a passionate leader with over 20 years of experience in sales leadership, and executive leadership training and development. From a career start in direct sales as a door-to-door salesman, he quickly advanced to senior management in one of the fastest-growing companies in America.

    At age 26, Ben built and managed the highest producing sales region at Firstline Security, an INC 500 company. He became the #1 highest producer in the company—of over 2,000 sales representatives nationwide—and generated over $37 million in revenue with sales teams. There he earned his first million dollars in sales commission. Ben then went on to co-found Elevate Inc. an IP-based company offering bundled phone, Internet, digital TV, security and home automation services. The company recruited thousands of sales representatives nationwide and went public in 2010. The company experienced a ton of success and ultimately came crashing down and Ben lost everything. Ben looks back on this experience as the most valuable learning and growth period of his life up to that point. Ben picked himself back up and became a CEO / administrator of a Plum Healthcare facility where he spent four years focused on leadership development and growing and developing people as he lead a team of over 200 healthcare professionals.

    In this episode, Ben shares his best tips for overcoming limiting beliefs, stepping into leadership, and using integrity, kindness, and confidence to sell what you love and expand your business or cause.

    Here's what you will learn:

    • Ben's tools to battle limiting beliefs (2:24)
    • How to become an expert leader in sales (4:51)
    • How continuously learning helps to bring success (9:40)
    • The relationship between sales and giving (17:21)
    • What people can do to avoid being a sleazy salesperson (22:25)
    • The 4 laws of leadership (25:31)
    • The importance of integrity (31:36)
    • What confidence in someone can do to change them (37:38)
    • The importance of kindness in leadership (43:22)

  • Mindset Fitness Over Willpower with Ricky Mendez

    "Ask and attract."

    I'm talking to one of my good friends on the show today. He's a seasoned salesman and speaker, but he also has a beautiful heart and is passionate about turning around businesses that are struggling.

    Ricky has been President, VP of sales, and COO of companies spanning Southern California over the last 10 years. With the help and dedication of his teams, Ricky has overseen operations in excess of a half-billion dollars in southern California and has appointed key personnel to implement the mindset and sales programs. Many of the great relationships have been with national brands such as Home Depot, Costco, American Residential Services, and Sears, where Ricky has spoken at national conferences to share his ideas and best sales practices.

    Ricky's specialty has been to rebuild divisions of mediocre or failing businesses. Again, with the support of his team, he has accomplished this repetitively and Ricky believes it all starts with the foundation of the proper culture that facilitates and celebrates the success of others. In rebuilding these companies, Ricky has faced some severe challenges and obstacles that have confirmed the strength of his teachings through consistent implementation of a positive mindset and Prosperity Planning.
