Women Your Mother Warned You About
12/02/21 • 49 min
What can we learn from a child? (Other than the fact that Gina has a course at Sales Gravy called Selling Like a Child). Today Gina and Rachel talk about the experiences from their childhood. The enthusiasm, frustration, passion, disappointment, wonder, failure, dreaming big, persistence, ingenuity, and new ideas. Just think about how that reflects the positive and negative paths in sales. Maybe there is still a child within us all, and that get what they want.

Your Voice with Jeff Bajorek
Women Your Mother Warned You About
05/19/22 • 58 min
Your voice. There are so many ways to look at it. Standing up and letting yourself be heard. Your communication skills with potential clients. Your inner voice that may push you forward or hold you back. All of these things are are covered in today's episode with one of the greatest voices in sales. Jeff Bajorek, Leadership and Management coach, corporate and executive trainer, author and speaker is back with Gina and Susanna.
As you know, this show doesn't follow any script or boring pre-scripted questions. Today's discussion starts with talking about Jeff's amazing voice. Yes, just listen to it. But it goes well beyond that. Your voice is what sells. It's finding common ground with prospects to close a deal, it's the voice that finds a balance between pushing for a sale and being patiently empathetic with a potential buyer.
Jeff also talks about the voice in your head that keeps you from cold calling. The voice that actual picks up the phone and talks with sales leads, the one that leaves actually leaves a voicemail, which is another chance to let someone hear your voice and presence.
Susanna poses the question if people are born sellers or if they can learn to be salespeople. Jeff considers the perception around sales and how it keeps many people from even pursuing it.
He also explains the importance of focus, not spreading yourself too thin, and to do the things that give you the best results and do them well, how imposter syndrome never goes away but just changes, and if you feel completely comfortable and that you belong, you aren’t pushing yourself enough.
PLUS! Hear what Jeff will be speaking about at Outbound 2022, and the inspiring atmosphere that only Outbound can deliver.

Going Rogue: Stop Grinding, Start Building
Women Your Mother Warned You About
08/26/21 • 39 min
When you're grinding, you're getting everything done, you're on top of it all, and feeling good... right? Well, grinding is also the act of wearing down and breaking apart. Today Gina and Rachel reflect on "the grind," and how they and most listeners of this show can relate to finding themselves overwhelmed, over-scheduled, feeling burnt, often without the sense of accomplishment at the end of the day.
This rogue episode gets a bit personal and gets real about how to move through times of emotional struggle or grief, how to give yourself options in scheduling, easy ways to prioritize, how to get unstuck by "doing the next thing," and to always remember to seek solutions instead of rehashing problems.

Inhale Serving, Exhale Selling with Liz Wendling
Women Your Mother Warned You About
02/15/24 • 37 min
Today Gina welcomes the one and only Liz Wendling to discuss the importance of both serving and selling in the sales process. They debunk the outdated mantra of "serve, don't sell" and emphasize the need for a balanced approach. Liz shares insights on how over-serving can actually hinder business growth and explains the importance of solving problems and making recommendations. They also touch on the pitfalls of generic sales tactics and the need for personalized, relevant messaging. Tune in to learn how to strike the right balance between serving and selling in your business.
Key Takeaways:
· Serving and selling should be thought of as an interconnected, inseparable pair, much like inhaling and exhaling, essential for sustaining business life.
· Overemphasis on serving, without the balance of selling, can create a detrimental energy that diminishes one's professional credibility and value.
· "Know, like and trust" is no longer sufficient on its own; today's sales strategies must also focus on relevance and the ability to solve customers' problems.
· Clear, transparent communication that outlines the intent to serve and potentially sell is key to establishing a trustworthy relationship with clients.
· Adapting one's sales approach to align with personal authenticity and customer needs is crucial for effective and enjoyable transactions.
Notable Quotes:
· "Serving and selling are interconnected aspects of the sales process. They go hand in hand, and doing one without the other is just wrong." - Liz Wendling
· "Selling today is not sleazy when you do it in a way that not only aligns with you but how it aligns with the way the world makes decisions today." - Liz Wendling
· "If you only serve and you don’t solve and you don’t help someone buy something from you, you’re the cause of the disruption." - Liz W Wendling
· "Know, like and trust gets you a ticket to the game, but it’s not enough anymore. You must be relevant." - Liz Wendling
· "Every single business stays in business because somebody is selling something and somebody is buying something." - Liz Wendling
