Asa Hochhauser and his team build effective technology stacks for marketers to help drive pipeline, and sales sell more, more often, for more money. This episode is packed with practical advice, built on expertise and currency. Asa is direct, frank and pragmatic.
Stop buying shiny objects in the hope that you will fix your sales and marketing problems until you've given the requisite thought and investigation into your real problems. Technology alone will not solve the problem, and poorly considered tech implementations often result in unintended consequences. Salespeople spending less time in front of customers. Longer sales cycles. More activity and less effective action.

"We don't see things as they are; we see them as we are" - Anaïs Nin
"On average across your workforce, your average employee spend 2.5 hours a day in drama". Cy Wakeman is a drama researcher. You know, mountains out of molehills, judgement, prejudices, catastrophising; the kind of shit we create for ourselves. It happens in families, organisations and companies. Then we filter the world through that haze of bile, imagined sleights, misinterpretation and of course our old friends judgement and attachment.
Cy and I get deep and dirty on the detritus of our minds and explore ways to respond more effectively, cut away the emotional fog and get to the Truth. Buckle up!

Piracy – especially in the 1600s – was an explosive response to conflicts in trade and the greed of behemoth institutions, governments, and nations.
Today in sales I see something very similar.
The massive organisations that dominate so much of the business landscape are getting to be too big to defend themselves.
What does that make them vulnerable to?
A small, elite, laser-focused group of people who are united on a single goal.

Calling All Managers! You are crucial to driving recovery when only 9% of UK employees are actively engaged in their role. Only 14% of European employees are actively engaged in their work. 44% of employees in western companies are actively participating in the great resignation, moving to pastures new and leaving behind a loss of knowledge deficit.
There are 2.4m accidental managers in the UK. Mostly, you're overstretched, undertrained and often in a precarious position; burnout is common, set up to fail against impossible odds and a culture that undermines your sincere efforts to help other and make progress yourself. Long days, evenings and weekends. Frequently undertrained, under pressure to commit to a number, short of a miracle and burning through all your close personal connections, you have little hope of hitting, let alone repeating.
Apparently only 3% of sales teams world wide are tracking to hit quota this year, fewer than 25% of AE are achieving more than 85% of their personal quota. So those team scores seem depressingly credible.
I brought 2 of my favourite people on the planet together, Silke Ahrens and Shaun Doherty to explore good mental health from the perspective of practitioner and manager.

It was never Diane Halfman’s dad's plan for her to walk the streets and become a prostitute, let alone get involved with violent gangs and narcotics, but her life choices put her in grave circumstances. Danger became a way of life for Diane.
As an undercover cop in San Diego PD her job was to infiltrate the gangs and prostitutes, bust the John’s, bring ’em down and clean up the streets. Diane explains the effects of fear, how to develop survival habits to respond intentionally in moments of pressure or stress. We discuss how to improve your decision making under pressure, where you find inner strength and flow states. Lively, engaging and challenging throughout.
