We Already Have A Vendor for that Objection
Learn how to expose weaknesses in your competitor’s solution, position your product as the smarter choice, and win more meetings on cold calls. 🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Expose the competitor’s gap: Highlight the pain points your prospect might not have noticed in their current solution to create urgency. Leverage social proof: Use customer stories where others switched from a competitor to validate your claims without sounding pushy. Reframe the ask: Instead of forcing a hard sell, invite prospects to simply “take a look” at what’s out there—low pressure, high impact. Balance empathy with confidence: Acknowledge that they might not switch today, but confidently plant the seed that your solution solves a problem their current vendor doesn’t.

My Honest Career Advice for Aspiring Tech Sales Reps | Lead Ep. 334
Nick Cegelski and Armand Farrokh tackle the biggest sales career questions—from landing your first SDR role to earning promotions, breaking into SaaS, and accelerating your path to President’s Club. 🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Stand out in interviews by skipping “spray and pray” applications—network with reps, cold email leaders, and show you can sell your way into the process. Know when to stay or move on by evaluating the “four pillars”: learning, earning, growing, and connection. If only two are strong, it’s time to leave. Avoid career-stalling habits like job-hopping for small pay bumps or choosing companies with poor growth. Prioritize strong leadership and investor backing. Accelerate your career trajectory by shadowing top performers, over-indexing on work ethic early, and self-educating on both sales skills and your target industry. More of a visual learner?

Get Past ANY Gatekeeper with This Proven Cold Call Script
Learn 3 proven cold call tactics to get past any gatekeeper and reach decision-makers without lying, pitching, or wasting time. These step-by-step strategies will help you control the conversation, boost your connect rate, and book more meetings. 🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS: Adopt the “owner” mindset: Approach gatekeepers with confidence and authority—don’t over-explain, pitch, or try to befriend them. Your demeanor should signal that you belong. Use the Triple Bypass Method: Start with the Slide By (simple ask to be connected), then provide Context (reason for calling without pitching), and finally lean on Social Proof (reference similar clients or prior outreach). End with questions to stay in control: Always finish responses with a question like, “Would you let him know it’s Nick?” so you guide the conversation instead of letting the gatekeeper take charge. Know when to pivot: If blocked repeatedly, don’t force it—try mobile numbers, off-hours calls, or different channels (email, LinkedIn, direct mail, referrals) to reach your prospect directly.

8 Powerful Lessons That Separate Good Sales Leaders from ELITE Ones | Sell Ep. 333
Leadership in sales isn’t just about hitting quota — it’s about building standards, setting culture, and developing people. In this episode, the hosts share 8 hard-earned sales leadership lessons that shaped how they hire, coach, and manage winning sales teams. 🎙️ ACTIONABLE TAKEAWAYS If it’s not a “hell yes,” it’s a no — never settle for average hires. Proof of performance over theory — test real execution, not hypotheticals. Follow the 2–2 rule — flip two reps, hire two culture-setters, cut two misfits. Let reps fire themselves — set clear standards early so underperformers opt out. More reps ≠ more revenue — don’t over-hire if your lead pool doesn’t grow. Protect focus time — stop expecting instant Slack replies; create deep work blocks. Use the 20/80 rule in training — 20% teach, 80% reinforce until it sticks. Give grace on first mistakes — support reps when they slip, then enforce standards. More of a visual learner?
