Let's just cut to the chase: what's in it for you? Straight away ...

... wonder how many will catch the calm demeanor in which Kaleigh communicates from. There's a tranquility in her presence that exudes confidence, and that our friends is what opens the door for those you're seeking to serve to feel you have their best interests at heart. If you don't take at minimum (8) ideas from this chinwag with Kaleigh to implement straight away into the ways in which you engage with those you're seeking to serve, we'd be gobsmacked. And I'll personally overnight you a check for one billion dollars. Really. We'll continue to shout this from the mountain tops to all the nuggets of the world... show up. Be You. Be human. Kindness and authenticity... WHATEVER that looks like for you... *is* the awesome sauce. No matter if it's "good" or "bad" ... just never, ever settle into a space of indifference. 'Bad' CAN BE 'good' For the record, Kaleigh and Sales Rebellion are about to embark on a Personality Science journey ... let us know if that's sompin' you wanna dive into... means a lot to us all to learn you wanna journey with us ... shouldn't need to be disclosed, however, let's play it 'safe': in the most non-psychopathic way. Wurd. ((( hug )))

Y'all ... I had all sorts of intentions to edit out the rough spots in here, the pauses... the-on-the-fly thinking that takes up space in unspooling that yarn.

However ...

there's bone marrow in this chinwag that creates an impact inside your bone marrow if you're willing to cue your curiosity.

We name names ... we call it out.

Aleasha, Adam... take it away Rebels

Give Adam two minutes to peel back the "douchebag" layers that countless "10x gurus" repeatedly seek to persuade you to roll with in their boorish, self-serving agendas.

You're being mislead.

We wanted to give you 94 seconds of what really matters when connecting with other humans...

Behind every business (and personal) conversation, is a human with cherished memories ... perhaps of a childhood lake, a neighborhood that's shaped them, from a skinned knee, to Wednesday dinners at Keith's... ingrained family traditions that still resonate today.

Even when prospects don't respond as you're hoping, remember ... they're experiencing the full spectrum of human emotions. Roller coaster of ups n' downs. They're navigating their days carrying both professional pressures and personal stories... just. like. you.

This week, dare to humanize your "sales" approach.

Be audacious and romanticize your relationships.

Be a little more raw.

Dig deeper beyond the typical transactions into genuine curiosity and connection.

Take that chance. Dare to be vulnerable. See what transforms.

Drop us a line if you wanna see the Lake that inspired this perspective shift... it's a video, I'm holding it hostage (cue the smirk)

Have a great week luvs

There is sooooo much gold in these here parts, and it ain't just cuz she's a Texan folks. Wait, that's California: gold, gold rush. I digress. From leadership, to operations, snuggling in motherhood and carrying the torch of all things "sales," Jessica Allen takes us on a journey of uplifting transparency in all things, to enlightening her clients into paying more to garner what they need, and how they best need it. Don't miss the part where this pregnant sassy sales nugget with a soul's water broke during a call ... now that's about as Rebel as it gets. "Activate and Captivate" away Rebels

WARNING: we always have spice in our language... this one has E X T R A ... you've been warned.

The accent is real, and as thick as it can get. Thick as thieves between the three of us, it's true. We're releasing this on the official LOVE day: Valentine's... cuz, well Paddy Higgins has fo schizzle stolen both of our hearts, and we're honored and thrilled to share him with the rest of you.

There are several moments of belly laughter, but one in particular that Adam just ... I'm fawning with how insanely, organically hilarious this human is. Keeping this short ... with one thing to be on the lookout inside ... music starts to play when it gets 'political' ... we're keen for you to let your imaginations run wild (cue the smirk)

My two favorite men... take it away...

Y'all ... here's the deal ... Jen wears her heart outside of her body. Inside our chinwag ... she gives a Masterclass in Serving Others ... it's baked into the DNA of Who. She. Authentically. Is. And even more speaks to the vulnerabilty and courage she has to unflinchingly show up as Jen Jones. We're going to say this again... Stop. Selling. Louder for those in the back... S T O P. 'SELLING' Look all you're doing is repeating the tired n' meager, b o r i n g useless actions that only burn you out and create zero connection with those you're seeking to serve. Highlighting your engagement is simply a transaction and nothing more. Stop. Here's the secret sauce... get a pen ... "sales" starts when you've determined HOW you can help another human. Ding. Grab those headphones n' tune in luvs

Adam and I wanted to do a wee bit pivot ...

Snuggle in behind the scenes at TOTALITY 2024, where veteran Sales Kingpin Kevin "KD" Dorsey drops the rawest wisdom on why he's ditching mainstream sales conferences for the road less traveled. In this unfiltered 6-minute peek, KD reveals why mastering fundamentals must come before adding your unique secret sauce, and why putting the fun back in sales just might be the game-changer, the Rebel code we all need ... we'd go so far as to say... The. World. Requires.

The Anitza Pizza Paradigm Whoever said pizza was merely a carb-loaded comfort food was sorely mistaken. In the world of Anitza (pronounced Ah-Neat-Za, like pizza) Martins, it's a full-on sales philosophy, who knew?! Sure, pizzas are topped with pepperoni and cheese, but how about topping your career with authenticity and faith? Anitza's world is one where every pie (call) has it's own unique perfectly baked crusty purpose. The Colombo Close... yeah, it's a thang, and Dale Dupree you've been called to the carpet Sir Forget Columbo with his one-more-question shenanigans... meet the Colombo Close. Imagine closing a deal with the same panache as a 70s detective solving a murder mystery in a bohemian walkup. While Anitza might not have a lazy eye like Columbo (in fact: they're doe like Bambi-esque) she certainly knows how to keep her sales intentions sharp and focused. Legacy, Light, and (Whoop) There's Faith When it comes to leaving a Legacy, Anitza does it with a sprinkle of joy, intentionality, and transparency. Her mantra? Treat people as they are, not their titles. It's about lighting up every, and we mean e v e r y conversation (no LED required) with genuine curiosity and a heart-as-big-as-a-whole-pizza-pie approach in both personal and professional. As it is in the daily life of a Rebel, those two are not mutually exclusive. But wait, the plot thickens with a twist of faith. Before each call, a quick chat with the Divine uplifts her Spirit, reinforcing that He's the silent partner in every sales connection. No matter the outcome, and much like an 8th grade dance ... there's space for the Divine right in the middle, guiding... directing. Ego... Keep it in Check In a world where inflating egos are as common as oversized pizza crusts, Anitza advocates for ego-checking. Her secret? Being open to feedback and embracing a sponge-like quest for knowledge. Toss in sprinkles of gratitude, and you're ready to roll with the challenges life throws at you, extra cheese, no charge. Authenticity is the Crust of the Matter... ha, see what we did there? In sales or in life, true power lives in being real. Whether you're wrapping up a "pitch" or tossing a pizza, the best ingredients are authenticity and being unapologetically yourself. For Anitza, it's all about staying true to her faith, being intentional, and yes ... letting God handle all the toppings. Baked Into the Crust Sale Conclusion Anitza Martins serves more than just sales tips; she offers a lifestyle lesson: Add a bit of joy, a lot of authenticity, and oodles of faith into whatever you're cooking up. Because in the end, it's not just about Selling Local; it's about making it personal and impactful; not only for those she is seeking to serve... she insists she personally leads that charge in all her endeavors. So, as you traverse your own paths of mottos and mozzarella, remember ... some like it cheesy, Anitza likes it real. And maybe, just m a y b e... the true adventure lies in discovering what rhymes with your pizza.

Blast Off into Rebelicious Awkwardness as Rebels Are Wont to Do Let's start at the beginning... or rather, let's just blast off, because who needs a boring intro anyway? Much like a well-placed hashtag, this episode of "Selling Local" shoots for the stars with a countdown that sprouts awkward guffaws. Because what's better than starting things off with #Awkward?Rebel pro tip: always set the "awkward" bar high early on. Wurd. Meet Magnanimous Magnificent Martin MacArthur: ... the outbound sales savant from Canada whose calm cucumber demeanor sets the platinum standard for cooliciousness (new word alert!) Adam Snider and Beth Pagano are keen to highlight Martin's blend of laid-back coolio vibes n' positive energy that makes him stand out, and apart in not only our family Rebellion tribe, but in the connections he makes with those he's seeking to serve. He's not just any "sales" guy; he's "THE" sales guy, and he's got the LinkedIn endorsement to prove it! Sales Wisdom from the Chill Master: Martin, who is not only daily overcoming... he is full on slaying his personal challenges, including navigating the corporate sales world as someone who is T O T A L L Y blind; modeling for us on how to best leave a lasting, positive legacy, no matter what! His Father in his formative years taught him to embrace obstacles with positivity... an attribute he's carried into his sales career, and the ways in which he builds relationships. His mission... make people feel seen, heard and increasingly valued. His approach: "How can I help you?" even when it could be determined they won't close a sale with Martin. How's that for building genuine relationships and living a Legacy out loud?! Canadians and F-Bombs: Pause for a moment to picture these two handsome, hirsute Canadians, known for their apologetic and polite demeanor, throwing the occasional F-bomb into the chinwag. Yes, this podcast episode has that too, as many of our episodes have. Cue the smirk. Like all good Rebels, they challenge status-quos with a cheeky grin and intermittent dashes of profanity. A Rebel's Role Play in The Greatest of Gifts: Active Listening: Once past the niceties, Martin lays some heavyweight advice on maintaining focus in conversations, honing in on the Super Power of "removing distractions"... the number one saboteur in creating genuine connection., and being fully present. He cites his personal pet-peeve: people head-nodding while scrolling through their phones. His solution? Be present. Be real. Be a Rebel who truly, actively listens. Challenging the Status Quo with the Toronto Maple Leafs: Hockey gets Martin fired up, full stop. As a Titanosaur Toronto Maple Leafs fan (that's like wicked big) he admits to out-yelling everyone in his vicinity when the puck drops. This pastime is woven into his DNA, much like sales... it's all about how you step onto the ice, into the "sales" arena, not just the end score... not just "crushing quota," but driving oneself with purpose and passion... despite the outcome. From The Outbound Sales Guy to SD Labs with The Inestimable Tom Slocum: Martin's journey has him settled at the SD Lab, climbing towards Head of Sales by focusing on quality over quantity. He aims to foster partnerships that thrive on mutual growth, bringing the same fervor to his career as he does to cheering on his his Maple Leafs. The Rebel's Closing Argument: Martin leaves us with a resonating truth bomb: "Put people in seats where they'll succeed." It's not just about quotas and transactions; it's about honoring individual strengths and ethics. Because Rebels', by definition: Do. Not. Conform. Instead, we excel and connect by daring to be different, and creating experiences for all those we come into contact with. Legends Never Die: So, here's to Martin MacArthur, a master of calm concentration, impromptu profanity, and the unconventional pursuit of authenticity. In his, and our Rebelicious world... Legends never die; they just go on to flout the norms, shatter ceilings, and challenge the traditional sales experiences. With the mic firmly dropped and coolness intact, Martin proves that sometimes, being a Rebel means simply staying true to yourself. Care to join us? We double dawg dare ya.
