This short story depicts the value of self-awareness and coaching. Recently, a friend/business associate get fired from his job. As I asked him what happened, and he went on a tirade of why it was completely unfair and how his boss was a jerk. As the conversation continued, I realized one thing like most people who have been in that predicament very few people are ever truly honest with themselves and self-aware. Most bosses hate firing people; therefore, it begs the question why would anyone want to do this intentionally to hurt somebody? The answer is simple they don't, yet people who do get terminated often go into an emotional state of unfairness and share with anyone who will listen "look what happened to me".
 
 My approach in the podcast is fairly aggressive and hope it sincerely helps.

This 25 minute interview with Mike Carroll from Intelligent Conversations will reveal some of the trends and things leaders need to do during  new virtual selling  times.

About Mike:

Are you dealing with flat revenue, margin erosion and sales hiring mistakes? If you’re ready to fully commit to transforming your sales team - I can help! Contact me: [email protected].

MY STORY
With more than 27 years of sales and marketing experience, I learned a lot about dysfunctional organizations. Through various senior sales and sales management positions, I developed a passion for fixing sales systems. With a wide range of B2B sales and marketing experience, I have particular expertise in manufacturing, telecommunications, software, financial services, and small business banking.

HOW I CAN HELP YOU
I’ve got a Midwest work ethic and pride myself on getting results for clients with a hands-on approach. Intelligent Conversations is changing the name of the sales training game, by offering a unique data-driven approach. Most sales trainers focus on perfecting techniques, but we work on mindsets first, then skillsets.

We work hands-on with senior executives, sales leaders, and salespeople to change behaviors, grow new skills, and increase value by implementing methodologies proven to create results. We do practical training as well, but we’ve learned that you need to assess how “change ready” an organization is first, so that the infrastructure itself can be improved in order to support the changes needed.

SUCCESS STORY
“Mike worked with a group of 5 business owners—myself included—to help us master the skills of consultative selling. Each of us benefited from the questions and challenges the others brought to the table. Mike adapted the concepts to make them relevant and powerful for us, regardless of our different industries. Now, we’ve reached the place we’ve been able help many of our clients achieve, and expanded our staff to keep up with our growth.”
- Kirsti Tcherkoyan, CEO and Co-founder, Options4Growth

Conversations take on life forms. They become events. They become living breathing things that can spread much like a virus quickly and without prejudice harming people unnecessarily. This podcast is a parallel between conversations and certainly our current pandemic crisis. I realize this is a little bit risky and I don't want to offend anybody and I think about conversations much like a virus they can spread. The key question is if we traced our conversations would we be okay or would we be at risk? I hope this helps!

This past weekend I received a number of phone calls from parents as it was tryout weekend for boys and girls volleyball in the state of Wisconsin. I'm still amazed that some parents feel that the process or the decision that resulted in the child not making a team was somehow unfair or personal. One such parent I shared a thought with and that was "what do you think is the silver lining?" The parent said "I have no idea" in a very abrupt response. I said "I'm no longer involved in coaching or running a club so I don't have a vested interest per se but let me ask you again calmly what do you think is the silver lining and think about before you answer about the workplace and how employees maybe in your own organization do not accept change or difficult times?" The father paused, calmed down, and this ultimately led to a really productive conversation where I think he's in a better place to work with his kid to potentially get better but also change his relationship with the decision that was made. Had this father told his child which many parents do the process or the coach was unfair this will inevitably teach the kid to play the role of victim futuristically versus build the skills to overcome!

Teamwork and Leadership are learned behaviors. When kids go to high school and ultimately college that's an eight year time span typically where they then enter the workforce. With that being said, how many of these kids are really taught what it's like to be in the workplace and act in alignment of being a great teammate and supportive of leadership? I'm not sure of many educational institutions doing this and that is not a criticism at all, rather an opportunity for society to help younger people realize the value of being a great teammate, supportive of leadership, and ultimately potentially becoming a great leader.
