"A Foolproof Formula for Unlimited Success in Sales"

When I first started thinking about establishing this podcast and blog, my first thought was, “I have to get Joe Buzzello on!” I know that Joe is very busy and would be hard to schedule, but I also knew that when he came on that he would give it his all. I think you will agree that he absolutely brought it!!!

In this interview, Joe shared several incredible insights including:

• What he learned during his stint in Multi-Level Marketing
• The Pareto Principle (80/20 Rule)
• What makes elite producers – elite
• Joe’s big three success separators
  • Competency
  • Attitude
  • Pipeline
• SWSWSWN
• Why people don’t “get it”
• How top producers label their results
• Why top producers hate “maybe”
• Why “No” is o.k.
• X2
• The “Sacred Responsibilities” of
  • Sales managers
  • The sales person
• Who he suggests sales managers spend “Prime Time” with
• Going the extra mile for a worthy cause
• Putting your heart out there first
• Lao Tsu “The farther I travel, the less I know.”
• Where he thinks the Voluntary Benefits industry is headed next
• Frogs in tepid water
• How to sell Disability Insurance
• His own families experience with Cancer Insurance and what it meant to him
• Storm to Norm and how it will become easier to sell Voluntary Benefits
• Why his book will be disruptive to the VB industry
  • The lesson of the pump
  • Why you don’t need to learn every product and service your company offers….at first.
  • Why you shouldn’t prospect just any business
  • There are bad leads
  • Who you should avoid
• Why it’s MORE important to have fun when you are losing than when you are winning
• Why he avoids serious people
• How Joe B. wants to be remembered
• And much, much more!

Towards the end of the interview, I mentioned that if you are in sales management and you don’t read this article by Joe….well….I called you an idiot. I’m sorry. That wasn’t very nice, so let me rephrase that. If you are in sales management and you don’t read this article, you apparently don’t care about your own success.  Is that better?

ing your “Genius Work.” I learned this concept from my friend and mentor Joe Buzzello. We have talked about it often and I felt it was time to bring it to you, my faithful subscriber. As a reminder your “Genius Work” occurs when:

1. You love doing the work.
2. You are talented and do the work with excellence.
3. You can monetize the work.

To further explain this concept I invited Joe to join us on today’s Podcast.

But before you click on the play button, I want you to remember back to second grade when we were first introduced to the Venn Diagram. If you will remember, a Venn Diagram shows where two or more things overlap. For our example, the chart above illustrates that sweet spot where all three components (enjoyment, talent, and monetization) of “Genius Work” all intersect.

As a reminder, Joe has authored two Amazon best-selling books: The CAP Equation and Drawing Circles. Both are excellent and I heartily recommend them!  

I have also read an advanced copy of his new book: A Life In Sales. I promise you will not want to miss it when it comes out.
