Excited About A Life In Sales Oct 07, 2015

Show notes

Thom Singer talks about why he is excited to have had a long career in sales and how sales should be celebrated in a company. "Social Selling" does not work for most companies, and we have to get back to being focused on the human-to-human, belly-to-belly sales skills in order to grow a businesses bottom line.
People want to know they matter and a "like", "link", "share" or "follow" is not the same as a business relationship. Thom recommends before every conversation with client or prospects that you ask yourself what it is they want from this interaction. Zig Ziglar said it best.... "You can have anything you want in life, if you help others get what they want in life"

Try New Things Along The Journey To Success Sep 24, 2015

Show notes

Thom Singer recently jumped off the 108 story Stratosphere in Las Vegas. He is not a "thrill seeker" and is usually scared of such things, but on this day he decided he was going to try something out of his comfort zone. Thom landed safely, but in business when we try new things we often fail, but that is okay too. It is the doing that leads us to finding ourselves. Hoping and wishing are not a business plan. Be someone who is inspired by attempting to grow and see what happens.

Cyber Security for Entrepreneurs with FBI Agent Scott Augenbaum Sep 17, 2015

Show notes

Much of our businesses are run from computers and mobile devises, and yet few entrepreneurs and small business owners give much thought to cyber security. Scott Augenbaum is a special agent with the FBI and for 11 years he has been focused on cyber crimes.
His goal in being on "Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do" is to get people thinking about how they behave online, and be smart about how they are protecting their mission critical information.
According to Augenbaum, each person needs to become "their own firewall". Setting up multi-factor authentication, creating "pass phrases" instead of passwords, and using a separate computer for all banking transactions are just a few of his pieces of advice.
This episode is an important one, as 95% of the cyber crimes he sees impacting small business could have been prevented.
