Changes are afoot! As I mention at the top of this episode, we’ll be moving to a bimonthly schedule and trying to live by the ethos of “quality over quantity”. You’re going to see a more nuanced, dual perspective between sales leaders and the CEO’s who need them. I can’t wait to show you what we have in store over the next few weeks.

 

Today’s guest Jason Abell (President of Rewire, Inc.)  joins the discussion to share insights on effective leadership and the importance of core values in navigating tough times. Jason highlights common mistakes leaders make in meetings and provides practical advice on fostering a positive company culture. Together, we delve into the significance of leaders speaking last, the authenticity in sales, and the role of core values in sustaining businesses. The conversation closes with Jason giving a very thoughtful answer to my usual question :  “What’s your relationship to cigars?”

 

So grab your cigar, grab a cocktail and strap in for an impactful episode. This is a good one for sales pros and leaders alike.
