  • The Power of Belief

    Spending an hour with an icon in the history of sales training was the most fun and meaningful podcast i’ve ever been on! John Kaplan is not just an incredible sales pro, he’s an empathetic and wonderful human being. We discussed my personal experiences but John also got vulnerable about his. So grateful for the opportunity and glad to call John a friend! Thank you!

  • Legends Making Legendary Podcast

    This show is a masterclass in sales and leadership. These two guys were legends and can be traced back to the formation of MEDDIC as a sales methodology. Having the incredible opportunity to be a guest on their show to discuss my book Greatfruit was an honor and pleasure. These guys are so easy to talk with, so knowledgeable on sales process, sales execution, and sales excellence. True leaders in the field of sales. Highly recommend this podcast!

  • One of the best Sales Podcasts.

    Easily one of my favorite Podcasts on Sales and coming from the master himself, John McMahon. One thing I look forward to is to push the envelope a bit to see how the same sales principles can be applied to a non-software sales environment - can it work in industrial equipment sales for example? Would love to hear John and Kaplan’s take on this and possibly invite the CRO from GE or ABB or similar.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Why Better Technology Does Not Win Hyperscaler Partnerships with Alan Chhabra
Q: Talk about having to get strong champions and how to neutralize enemies.
Chhabra says interests can differ across deals and relationships, and that leaders can address resistance by creating partnerships that align with a hyperscaler's priorities. He cites combining Cerebras with AWS Trainium and MongoDB's Alibaba partnership as examples.
Why Better Technology Does Not Win Hyperscaler Partnerships with Alan Chhabra
Q: What does it really take today to explain your role?
Chhabra says a partner leader must understand the business landscape, partner priorities, organizational power structures, and the political interests that shape deals. He recommends assessing candidates on their knowledge of potential partners and their org charts.
Tools to Perform Under Pressure with Mental Performance Coach Greg Poss
Q: Could you tell us what that is?
Poss identifies blaming others and making excuses as victim mode, which he describes as an extreme lower-brain state. He advises taking responsibility and asking what can change in one's execution after a setback.
Tools to Perform Under Pressure with Mental Performance Coach Greg Poss
Q: How do we know when we're in one or the other, and then some things that we can do to pull ourselves up and out?
Poss says negative emotions such as anger, anxiety, and frustration indicate a lower-brain state, while peacefulness, focus, awareness, and joy signal a higher-brain state. He recommends slowing the breath, including with a 4-7-8 breathing technique, to help regain calm and focus.
The Inner Game Most Sales Leaders Never Coach with Collin Henderson
Q: How do I connect with curiosity and influence a buyer without putting on a performance?
Henderson recommends first understanding the buyer's goals, challenges and current approach through thoughtful questions. Sellers can then use the buyer's own language and experiences in a relevant story and work together on a simple solution tied to the buyer's needs.
