Before You Hire Another Rep, Look at Your Best One
Your best rep is sitting at 130% of quota, and every instinct says it's time to hire. So you start writing the job description for another hire, bracing for three to six months of ramp time right when you need momentum most. Kyle Willis, VP of Growth at BELAY, thinks most sales leaders are betting on the wrong rep. Jeb Blount Jr. sits down with Kyle to break down what happens when a top performer gets a virtual sales assistant and wins back 5 to 10 hours a week. One rep pushed past 150% of quota, and her self-sourced pipeline grew enough that marketing could spend less. The difference came down to which work she handed off and which old leads she went back after.👉 Download Belay's Free "5 Reasons You Aren't Hitting Quota" Guide🎤 Get your ticket to the OutBound Conference📖 Purchase Jeb Blount's book, 90 Days to Level Up Your Sales SkillsOur Sponsors:* Check out Plaud AI and use my code JEB for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai/jebAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Don’t Take the Bait on Red Herring Objections (Money Monday)
Red herring objections are a buyer’s emotional self-protection and can derail a sales call fast. But you can break through them with the right approach. Jeb Blount shares a firsthand example from a software demo his own executive team sat through, showing exactly how a rep got baited into a defensive spiral that killed the deal. Jeb explains that most red herrings are built from a lifetime of bad experiences with salespeople and don’t always signal a deal-breaker. He lays out the discipline required to acknowledge these objections calmly, hold the agenda, and keep the sales conversation moving toward its actual objective.📖 Purchase Jeb Blount's book, Objections: The Ultimate Guide for Mastering the Art and Science of Getting Past No👉 Download the free Objections Book Club Guide for Sales Teams🔗 Follow us on LinkedIn!Featured Sponsor*If you're ready to upgrade your listening experience, go to go.fitnexa.com/gravy and use code GRAVY for $10 off your order.Our Sponsors:* Check out Plaud AI and use my code JEB for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai/jeb* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code SALESGRAVY for 20% off your entire order: https://www.trudiagnostic.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

How to Know If You're in the Right Sales Job (Ask Jeb)
How do you know if your sales role is right for you? And how do you get better when you're the only rep on the team with no one to learn from?In this episode of Ask Jeb on the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount answers two questions from Gabriel, an early-career business development rep in Montreal working at a small startup.Jeb's advice: at the start of your career, you often have to take what you can get and be the best at it, even if it isn't the right fit. As you gain experience, stop chasing the right company and start choosing the right leader. And when there's no top performer to follow, master the fundamentals and build your own learning path.What You'll Learn:Why entry-level salespeople rarely know if a role is the right fit, and why a bad fit still teaches you somethingThe questions to ask yourself to discover which sales role fits you bestWhy the right boss matters more than the right company, and how it can mean up to 20% higher incomeHow to vet a sales leader during the interview processWhy loving the sales process matters more than loving the product you sellHow to earn your role progressionWhy "find the top sales rep and copy them" is not helpful sales adviceHow to build your sales skills without a team around you through networking groups, sales conferences, and training-Submit your question: salesgravy.com/askPurchase Jeb Blount's new book: 90 Days to Level Up Your Sales SkillsGrab your tickets for OutBound ConferenceFollow Jeb Blount on LinkedInFeatured Sponsor*If you're ready to upgrade your listening experience, go to go.fitnexa.com/gravy and use code GRAVY for $10 off your order.Our Sponsors:* Check out Plaud AI and use my code JEB for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai/jeb* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code SALESGRAVY for 20% off your entire order: https://www.trudiagnostic.com* Go to https://OmahaSteaks.com and use promo code BEEF at checkout for $35 off.

Guard Your Golden Hours From Distractions (Money Monday)
It’s easy to mistake motion for progress. But answering emails, updating the CRM, and sitting in internal meetings don’t generate revenue. In this episode of Money Monday, Jessica Stokes breaks down the concept of Golden Hours, the specific times during the day when prospects are most likely to pick up the phone or respond to outreach. She explains why protecting that time is one of the best revenue-generating decisions you can make in your sales career. Jessica also offers guidance to sales leaders on shielding their team’s selling windows from internal scheduling conflicts.📖 Purchase Jeb Blount's new book, 90 Days to Level Up Your Sales Skills💻 Enroll in Sales Gravy University Courses with Jessica Stokes👉 Download our Sales Gravy Time Audit Log for Sales Professionals🔗 Follow us on LinkedIn!Our Sponsors:* Check out Plaud AI and use my code JEB for a great deal: https://www.plaud.ai/jeb* Check out TruDiagnostic and use my code SALESGRAVY for 20% off your entire order: https://www.trudiagnostic.com* Go to https://OmahaSteaks.com and use promo code BEEF at checkout for $35 off.

Help People Buy: Tony Morris's Playbook for Breaking Buyer Resistance
Tony Morris wants you to say less so you'll win more. It's his mantra for prospecting. Tony sat down with Jeb Blount Jr. to discuss how he has reframed his process so that he's not focused on being the seller, but on helping people be the buyer. He shares his rule that every month without contact costs you a slice of the relationship, and why he sends prospects books, articles, and webinar links with no ask attached. This approach breaks through buyer resistance more easily and gets you better conversations with your prospects. Tony will be at Outbound this year talking more about his process and why focusing on curiosity over closing creates more opportunity.🎟️ Grab your tickets for OutBound Conference💻 Enroll in Sales Gravy University Courses with Tony Morris👉 Download our free A.C.E.D.
