  • The Life-Changing Impact of an Intentional Leader (and the End of Fantasy Land Sales Management)

    The Life-Changing Impact of an Intentional Leader (and the End of Fantasy Land Sales Management)
    Jul 8 2025

    Feedback from Jeff Hancher's story in Episode 94 of how a sales manager powerfully impacted his life compelled Mike to focus again on...The Life-Changing Impact of an Intentional Leader.

    After receiving so many stories from listeners about leaders who changed the trajectory of their lives, Mike shares a few of his own — highlighting the intentional investment others made in him that left a lasting impact — along with a reminder from Chapter 9 in his latest book: Managers (particularly sales managers) take up way more emotional and mental bandwidth in their people’s hearts and minds than they typically realize or appreciate. Mike concludes the episode with a few takeaways from recent conversations with senior sales leaders in tech and SaaS companies — most notably that the days of “Fantasy Land” sales management are over, and that both managers and sales reps need to stop looking longingly back to 2021 and 2022 wishing things were easier. Those days are over (and have been for a while), and it is past due time to replace fantasizing with a focus on the fundamentals.

  • Sales Leader Extraordinaire Shares His Journey from Pain and Poverty to Powerful Purpose

    Sales Leader Extraordinaire Shares His Journey from Pain and Poverty to Powerful Purpose
    Jun 17 2025

    Episode 94 is a special one for several reasons, not the least of which is that it’s the first show where the guest made Mike cry!

    You will be challenged listening to this interview with Mike’s friend, sales executive extraordinaire and leadership guru Jeff Hancher, who shares his personal journey from pain and poverty to powerful purpose.

    Jeff’s story of resilience and how sales changed the trajectory of his life will remind many listeners of why we got into the sales profession in the first place. And every sales leader will benefit hearing about Jeff’s rise through the ranks and the transformational leadership lessons learned along the way – particularly the critically important ability for leaders to give Firm Feedback in a Fragile World (which also happens to be the title of Jeff’s amazing new book).

    Be sure to take particular note of the segment (starting at the 17:30 mark) that Mike refers to as the greatest five-minute leadership sermon he’s ever heard as Jeff expands on the book’s promise: “how to build a winning culture with critical conversations.” Lean in as Jeff exhorts listeners on the resulting benefits when leaders properly balance making deep deposits that earn the right to make big withdrawals.

    How an Enterprise Sales Rockstar Sounds, Thinks, Behaves, and Balances Being Patient and Proactive
    Jun 5 2025

    Today’s special guest, Ahson Wardak, made such an impression at a recent Supercharge Your Sales Leadership event that Mike had to have him on the show!

    Ahson was recently promoted to regional vice president after an incredible run as a top-performing individual contributor.

    Listen in to hear what a true large account, large deal sales rockstar sounds like. Enjoy Ahson’s contrarian take on the widely accepted sales adage that "people buy from people they like” and pay particular attention how he balances two critical, yet contradictory, success factors for enterprise selling: being patient AND proactive.
