The LoCo Experience

Want to be better at sales? - give this one a listen!  

Tom Tonkin is the CEO and Co-Founder of Sales Conservatory, and he also has a Ph.D. in Organizational Behavior.   Tom takes us through a true-life tale of growing up the son of a diplomat in various South American countries and how he started getting into music - which at one time, he planned as a profession.

In this episode, we talk a lot about sales principles, and his marriage of the principals learned in sales and music at the Sales Conservancy.  We talk also about his influences and experiences that led him to believe their sales training approach at Sales Conservancy would get better results, and the research he's done to back it up. 

We get into plenty of faith, family politics conversation along the way, and Tom shares a lot of principles that our listeners are looking for when it comes to how can we better connect with others.  How can we help them?  How can we understand them? And more especially how can we be sincere?  Tom's research took him deep into sincerity versus authenticity and spoiler alert - sincerity wins out!  

Look for Tom's book coming out soon, titled Sincerely Yours, and thanks Tom for being on the show and I hope you all enjoy this program.

In this month's blog, I’ll be examining recent global events, and local truths, and boiling down a topic I’ve written about many times before.  Liberty - freedom plus virtue. Not the freedom to do what you like, the freedom to do what is good.  

The big philosophical question since Aristotle has been “what is good?”  And there are a lot of differing opinions about the answer these days. But I’m here to find common ground, and discuss how we can best know what is good, and that starts with the perspective and feedback of others, because none of us can be good alone on an island.  

Well maybe we could be good alone on an island, but that would be because there are no other people there - tempting us, or making us jealous, or stealing our food or our mate…but I digress, and I hope you’ll read on.
