I kept thinking last night, what's the biggest issue I see when I consult with companies?

They aren't great at FOLLOWING UP

Most deals aren’t lost on the first “no.” They’re lost when you never reach back out.

Follow up after the meeting.
After the intro.
After the ghosting.
Even after the rejection.

It’s not just about persistence. It’s about professionalism.

📨 Someone gives you their card? Send a note.
🎁 Someone sends a gift? Say thank you.
🧠 Someone tells you “not right now”? Craft a thoughtful response — and stay in their orbit.

Following up doesn’t make you annoying, it makes you memorable.

I’ve been in sales for 20+ years… and I’ve never seen anything like this.

One of the newest reps on our team — no Rolodex, no gray hair, barely out of onboarding — just crushed their first quarter.

Why?

Because they used the tools.

They recorded every call.
Reviewed their game tape on the way home.
Prompted ChatGPT to write personalized follow-ups.
Used video messages instead of stale emails.
Built a micro-brand on LinkedIn in 30 days.

No shortcuts. Just smart tech + real hustle.

As a veteran, I’m not threatened — I’m inspired.

This is what sales looks like in 2025.
Learn the tools or get outpaced by someone who will.

Harsh truth: Most people aren’t thinking about you. At all.

That meeting you thought you bombed?
That thing you said that kept you up all night?
That awkward moment you’ve replayed 27 times?

Everyone else forgot.

You’re the only one still holding the replay remote.

It’s called The Spotlight Effect — a psychological bias where we dramatically overestimate how much other people notice or care about our behavior, mistakes, or appearance.

📚 A Cornell study found that people believe they’re being noticed twice as much as they actually are.

In other words: You’re not the main character in their story. They are.

And once you internalize that?
• You stop walking on eggshells.
• You stop waiting for permission.
• You stop treating criticism like a character assassination.

You start speaking up.
You start taking swings.
You start giving yourself room to grow — publicly.

Because perfection isn’t relatable. Progress is.

Let people forget your missteps. Better yet — give yourself permission to.

Now go do something bold and slightly uncomfortable today.

Nobody’s watching as closely as you think.

What’s something you obsessed over that literally no one else noticed?
Drop it below — let’s normalize letting it go!

Why start from scratch when you can buy the foundation?

We glorify “starting a business” like it’s the only legit path to success, but here’s the truth most entrepreneurs wish they knew earlier:
Buying an existing business > Starting from zero.

Here’s why:
✅ Instant cash flow — No waiting 18 months to “break even.”
✅ Existing customers — You're not guessing what the market wants.
✅ Trained staff — Skip the hiring scramble.
✅ Equipment & systems — Already in place and working.
✅ Landlord relationships — Often way better lease terms for proven operators.

And here’s the kicker…

Over 10,000 baby boomers retire every day
Many own profitable, legacy businesses. But their kids don’t want them.

That’s your opportunity.

Think you’ve got a “new idea”?
Cool.

STILL better to buy an existing business and add your vision to it.

You want to launch a wellness spa?

Buy a spa that already has traffic, staff, reviews, and revenue — then implement your own services and branding.

That’s how you skip the painful startup phase and fast-track your dream.
Startups are risky. Acquisitions are smart.

What's the best sales advice I’ve ever gotten?

Well, it really had nothing to do with pitching, pipeline, or closing techniques.

I asked someone I really respect,

“What separates the great reps from the ones just clocking in?”

I was expecting the usual:

– Hit your activity goals

– Sharpen your objection handling

– Always be closing blah blah blah

Instead?

They looked at me and said:

“Make people feel seen.”

Treat them like their wearing a sign around their neck that says, "Make me feel special!"

That’s it.

Not flashy.

Not technical.

Just real.

Because let’s be honest—most sales convos feel like getting cornered by someone with a pitch deck and zero self-awareness.

The reps who win?

They don’t perform.

They don’t overtalk.

They make you feel like you actually matter.

Funny enough, that works!

Sales isn’t about saying the right thing.

It’s about showing up the right way.

Be the person your prospect wants to call back.

Not the one they dodge like a group text about fantasy football.

Alright, your turn—what’s the one piece of sales advice you got that actually stuck?

Let’s hear it.

80% of NFL players go broke within 3 years of retirement.

That stat floored me when I first read it.

But the more I work with successful founders, the more it tracks.

You’d think the biggest risk comes before the payday.

It doesn’t.

It comes after.

The exit happens. The money hits the account.

And suddenly the question becomes:

“Now what?”

So they start moving fast:

🛩 A little lifestyle upgrade

📊 A couple angel deals

🎯 A side project or two

🧠 Maybe even a new business

It’s not recklessness — it’s momentum.

When you’ve spent years solving problems and running point, doing nothing feels wrong.

But without a strategy, post-exit life turns into a reaction — not a plan.

And that’s where things get sideways.

Not because founders are bad with money.

But because they didn’t pause to design what comes next.

So here’s the truth no one tells you:

Selling your company is step one.

Building your life after the sale is step two.

The dollar amount doesn’t guarantee a good outcome.

But a clear vision for what’s next? That does.

A logistics company saved $109,875/year in payroll taxes using a strategy most business owners haven’t heard of.

✅ Cut $75,000/year from workers’ comp

It’s called a SIMERP, and it’s fully IRS-backed under Sections 105(b) and 213(d).

Every business pays payroll taxes.

But very few are using this IRS-backed strategy to turn those taxes into better employee benefits — without changing insurance or spending more.

It’s called a SIMERP, and it’s helping companies save $300–$600 per employee, per year while offering things like:

$0 copay telehealth

Mental health support

Prescription discounts

The program is 100% compliant with IRS Sections 105(b) and 213(d).

Most business owners don’t realize they’re leaving $300–$500 per employee, per year on the table — just by doing nothing.

With a SIMERP, you can redirect payroll taxes into real employee benefits like telehealth, mental health support, and Rx savings — all without spending more or changing insurance.

IRS-backed. No guesswork.
