I share a crucial sales framework that can prevent you from losing deals after what seemed like successful presentation meetings. I explain the "BAMFAM" (Book a Meeting from a Meeting) strategy, which ensures you never leave a proposal meeting empty-handed without either a clear decision or a confirmed next step on the calendar.

I share how downloading a "Couch to 5K" app - despite being able to run half marathons - taught me a powerful lesson about achieving big goals in business.

After hitting a mental block that kept sabotaging my runs, I discovered that starting embarrassingly easy and building small, consistent wins creates unstoppable momentum. This same principle of breaking down massive business goals into bite-sized, achievable steps helps you develop a winning habit that compounds over time, whether you're trying to scale from $1M to $10M or launch that outbound sales operation you've been putting off.

I recently coached an MSP seller who spent over 20 hours chasing a $5,000 deal only to get completely ghosted at the end - sound familiar? If you're tired of getting stuck in sales purgatory, chasing deals you were never going to win, I'm going to show you three specific strategies to break free and force more decisions.

First, use your discovery phase strategically to understand their actual buying process by asking the right questions about urgency, decision-making structure, and stakeholders involved.

Second, after your proposal presentation, get them to quantify their interest on a 1-10 scale and then ask the crucial follow-up question: "What would make it a 10?" This reveals the real objections you need to address.

Finally, make it easy for prospects to say no by giving them permission to tell you if they've gone a different direction - you'll either stop wasting time on lost deals or they'll put themselves back into the buying process.

These three techniques will help you allocate your time more effectively and stop chasing deals that are already dead.

I see ads all the time claiming that "building rapport" is a lie and you need to learn how to sell without it - but these so-called experts are completely missing the point.

In this video, I break down the massive misunderstanding around what rapport actually is in sales. It's not about small talk, weather conversations, or chatting about family photos on someone's desk - that's just likability, not rapport. Real rapport is about establishing trust, credibility, and demonstrating that you have the expertise to solve their problems.

I'll show you how to build genuine rapport by showing up prepared, asking targeted questions that prove you understand their business and industry, and positioning yourself as a credible expert who can actually deliver results.

If you're in MSP sales and tired of the surface-level rapport advice, this video will set the record straight on what rapport really means and how to build it the right way.

I inherited a commission-only sales team at the US Chamber of Commerce and had to shut down the entire division 18 months later.

In this video, I'm sharing why commission-only structures actually sabotage sales teams and can ruin your business culture. Most business owners think commission-only means hungrier, more driven reps, but that's not necessarily true. I'll break down the two major problems I've experienced with commission-only structures: how they drive away top talent who see them as red flags, and how they attract mercenaries who only care about one thing - their commission.

If you're an MSP owner considering your sales compensation strategy, this is a cautionary tale you need to hear. I'll show you why sharing the risk with your sales team through a base salary plus commission structure will help you attract professionals who want to be part of your team and contribute to a strong sales culture.

I was on a flight with my family when we had an emergency landing, and watching how the first responders handled the situation taught me the most important lesson about running a business: successful CEOs don't try to solve every problem at once, they identify the single most critical priority and focus all their resources on that one thing

I bombed my first sales interview but still got hired, and that experience taught me the three key traits I now look for when hiring salespeople that matter more than experience or charisma.

Despite being introverted with no sales background, I went on to become a top performer and help raise over $100 million - here's what really matters in sales hiring.

This episode breaks down how an MSP sales professional successfully salvaged a deal after losing control of the discovery process when a third-party consultant flipped the script and interviewed him instead of allowing him to ask questions.

Ray shares three key insights extracted from analyzing the meeting transcript and demonstrates how to use strategic questioning and positioning to regain control during the proposal stage.

Despite starting as one of ten candidates in a compromised position, the systematic approach helped the salesperson become a finalist and ultimately win the sizable deal.
