Bob Burg: Using Go-Giver in Direct Sales

About Bob Burg: Bob Burg is an author and speaker who has helped companies, sales leaders, and their teams to more effectively communicate their value, sell at higher prices with less resistance, and grow their businesses based on Endless Referrals. 

His book The Go-Giver which he coauthored with John David Mann, a Wall Street Journal and BusinessWeek Bestseller, has sold over a million copies and has been translated into 30 languages. 

Bob is the author of a number of books on sales, marketing, and influence, and has been named one of the 30 Most Influential Leaders and one of the Top 200 Most Influential Authors in the World. 

He is an advocate, supporter, and defender of the Free Enterprise system, believing that the amount of money one makes is directly proportional to how many people one serves. 

He is also an unapologetic animal fanatic and served on the Board of Directors of Furry Friends Adoption and Clinic in his town of Jupiter, Florida.

In this episode, Jennie and Bob discuss:

  • Bob’s golden rule of networking
  • What being a go-giver actually means
  • Being a giver has nothing to do with being a doormat

Key Takeaways:

  • All things being equal, people will do business with and refer business to those people they know, like, and trust.
  • Being a go-giver is about shifting your focus from getting to giving by constantly and consistently providing immense value to others.  By focusing less on what you’re going to get from the sales process, you create a phenomenal, value-based experience that’s worth 10 times 100 times more than any money you may exchange.
  • Being a go-giver doesn’t mean you’re everyone’s doormat. Your influence comes from the extent to which you put other people’s interests above your own.
  • The only way you can earn a whole lot of money is by serving a whole lot of people with exceptional value. 

“Giving attracts. When you do it genuinely and authentically, you have their best interests at heart that inspires trust.” – Bob Burg

About Rita Prenzler: Rita is a former student-athlete in cross-country skiing, has moved from Latvia to this country over 25 years ago, together with her husband has raised 3 amazing kids who also have been competitively involved in sports, one of whom is currently a student-athlete as well.

Key Takeaways:

  • The fun of networking lies in making friends and thinking about what you can learn and give rather than take.
  • There are half a billion Omega-3 users worldwide, but when we take a test, they don’t score as they should. Life in balance begins with finding out your Omega-3 profile, which Zinzino can assist you with.
  • You’re always going to have to stretch your comfort zone by approaching people and talking to them, but through this, you’ll be able to build relationships and help people while having fun.

Dana McWilliam: Done is Better Than Perfect

About Dana McWilliam: Dana is the National Director of Pure Romance and has been in business for 9 years. In 2021 she had $200k in personal sales, 32 activations, and $1.6 mil team sales. She is proudly serving on the Sr. Board of Directors for my 2nd year in a row. Dana started this business as a side gig and never thought she’d do it full-time. She was a preschool teacher at the time living paycheck to paycheck. Once she started making money from parties, Pure Romance quickly turned into her full-time job and went to a part-time preschool. Pure Romance is now her full-time career and she gets the luxury of making her own schedule. 

Dana has 2 young girls, a 3-year-old and a 2-year-old, and is married to a handsome Canadian man with a great beard! What started as something fun to bring in a little extra money has turned into a passion to empower women about their bodies and help them feel comfortable and confident in and out of the bedroom! She’s obsessed with footy pajamas and fanny packs!

In this episode, Jennie and Dana discuss:

  • The value of getting a “no”
  • How Tiktok has helped Dana’s business
  • How to come up with content ideas

Key Takeaways:

  • Don’t be worried about failing. The more “nos” you get, the closer you are to your next “yes”. 
  • There’s also beauty in joining the bandwagon. Aside from reaching many people, platforms like Tiktok allow you to have fun making short videos and educating people all at the same time.
  • Plan some content with a group of people within your business, look for trending sounds and save a couple and see how you can relate them to your business.

“Done is better than perfect. Just do it – just be a person connecting with other people, making relationships, genuinely adding value, educating and trying to help serve them.” – Dana McWilliam

Megan Robinson: Great Leadership Starts with Self Leadership

About Megan Robinson: Megan is the principal at E Leader Experience and works with individuals and teams to develop self-leadership skills that grow companies. She started her career in marketing climbing her way through the corporate ladder at advertising agencies and fortune 500 companies. Like many of us, she caught the entrepreneur bug and started her own marketing company. After yet another “Business Therapy” session, Megan discovered her true passion was in coaching and is a John Maxwell certified coach and DiSC Trainer. In addition, she is the Past President of ATDChi the leading learning and development organization in Chicagoland. Inspired by her own successful career in corporate and entrepreneurial environments, Megan makes leadership approachable for everyone, regardless of title, position, or experience.

In this episode, Jennie and Megan discuss:

  • Leadership is influence. 
  • How can you build your influence?
  • Setting boundaries

Key Takeaways:

  • A leader without a follower is just a guy out for a walk – you have to take the lead and see who’s willing to follow you and if those around you are willing to do the same.
  • Great leadership starts with self-leadership. Have a clear vision and be intentional with your actions because you can’t lead yourself if you don’t know where you’re going.
  • Setting boundaries is about letting someone know what you need in a clear, direct way. It’s not about controlling, it’s holding them accountable.

“Servant leadership is often how people show up with their clients – like you have to serve the client, you give up your own hours, and you let your boundaries get crossed. That’s what went wrong with your leadership.” – Megan Robinson
