Have you ever found it challenging to remember all of the things you needed to know/bring up during an important meeting?

From information about your stakeholder to your pre-planned talking points to different negotiation methods, there's a lot for your brain to keep track of in a 30-60min meeting.

How do you remember to hit on each point while maintaining an organic flow to the conversation?

Worry no longer. On today's episode, I interview performance psychologist, Dr. Maryrose Blank, about this very topic. Dr. Blank (MR) shares a memorization technique that we can use to help bring our most persuasive selves to stakeholder meetings!

Enjoy!

On today's episode, I provide a strategy for asking for big commitments! This episode is applicable to just about everything in life. Looking to find a way to help a loved one quit smoking or lose weight? Everything you need to know is right here - hopefully. That's not something I can promise. I'm pretty sure, though, that this will do the trick. It's done the trick for other people so it's safe to say it could do the trick for you. If it does do the trick, reach out and let me know how it went! DM me on Instagram @itsjakesavage.

The question for today's Q&A: "How do I ask for the win when I don’t 'feel' like it? How do I keep asking when it feels like an 'off-day'?"

Thanks for asking, JC! On today's episode, I provide two tips for navigating times when you don't feel like pushing on (particularly in a capacity that requires you to persuade others). Enjoy!

The question for today's Q&A:

"How do you not come across as needy when you’re hustling for meetings and opportunities to pitch people? I’m talking about using cold calls/cold emails/door knocking to get in the door. I feel like if I come across as needy it just cheapens the “product” even though I know it’s prestigious and desirable."

Great question! If you've been in sales for more than 3 hours, you've experienced this feeling. If you're not in sales but you've found yourself in a slump - unable to land any "wins" lately - you know this feeling as well!

In today's episode, I provide 3 main tips for either overcoming neediness or preventing yourself from feeling that way in the first place.
