In today’s world of business, when it comes to picking up the phone, most people hate it and won’t do it.
There’s a belief that cold calling doesn’t work. It won’t work if it’s not done consistently. Today’s audience tends to hide behind social media and uses excuses like “there’s no point, customers will be annoyed. They don’t like receiving cold calls”. That is completely false.
The truth is emotions are difficult to convey through words in a written email or in digital marketing. Bottom line? Robots will NEVER replace human conversation and emotion.
We imagine a time when more sales professionals feel empowered to connect with their clients through personable strategies like picking up the phone, chatting on a video call, or having meaningful in-person meetings. Which will create long-term relationships and stronger customer lifetime value- even if we must persevere through the “no’s” to find the “yes’s”.
The Conversational Selling Audience loves learning about the art of communication between human beings which leads to more meaningful connections. These connections drive new business at the right time and keep you top of mind when the prospect is ready to buy. Selling is not just a business skill, it's a life skill. At the end of the day, sales is just about the human connection.

In this episode, Nancy and Stan discuss the following:
• The critical role of emotional intelligence in leadership
• How emotional intelligence, well-being, and productivity are interconnected
• Strategies for preventing burnout and maintaining balance
• Key habits to optimize your mornings for a productive day
• The importance of balancing mind, body, and soul
• Techniques to manage energy levels for peak productivity
Key Takeaways:
o I think that when leaders learn to coach, employees learn to lead.
o Emotional intelligence is one of the critical things that I believe.
o You've got to know your system; when you are green, yellow, or red, you work around that.
o Do things right up front and create a legacy.
"And so, I really work with many clients on how to start the day so that they have the energy, power, and passion to take care of everyone and everything they do. Despite being only 2.5% of our body weight, our brain consumes over 20 to 30% of our energy. When we spend a lot of time on Zoom, staring at our own reflection, it's like a 1.5 to 2X tax on our brain. Understanding these dynamics helps explain why an eight-to-nine-hour workday can feel like a 14-hour day. So, understanding the three-legged stool—emotional intelligence, well-being, and productivity—is crucial. Effective habits and systems that support asynchronous work, rather than endless meetings, are where I'm focusing my efforts with organizations, Nancy." – STAN
"The first thing when you get up, is to thank God you are getting up. I think, "I'm alive, I'm well." The first thing I do is head out to get some water. Your body hasn't had any fluids for the last 10 hours, so it's important to hydrate. [...] The lemon juice comes in a glass bottle, which is better than plastic. This helps me get my electrolytes; even Olympic athletes hydrate first thing in the morning. The second thing I focus on is what I call "mind, body, and soul." You can tackle these in any order you prefer, but I believe you need to work on all three. If you want to work out next or go for a walk, that's great. I'm adapting my approach because, although I used to be a "no pain, no gain" type of person—an ex-athlete who pushed the limits—I understand the tremendous benefits of simple movement. Walking three miles or whatever you can manage in a day is incredibly valuable." – STAN
"One tool I use is the Enneagram. I like the Enneagram—and for those who don't know, it's spelled E-N-N-E-A-G-R-A-M—because it identifies nine different personalities. This system is probably over 2,000 years old. The reason I like it is because it's part of your DNA. When you're born, you possess one of these nine types. Strength Finders is more about how you are in your current season of life, because it can change a little bit. But the Enneagram is so unbelievably accurate. It even delves into your fears, your stresses, how you act under stress, and how you react to fears. It explores a whole new element of things that I believe leaders really need to understand. For me, it's fantastic. It's just a real holy grail for self-awareness." – STAN
