Denise Griffitts - Your Partner In Success™ Radio!

Ethics are often treated like a moral preference. But in sales, ethics are also a long-term strategy. Welcome to The Closers Inner Circle Podcast with your hosts Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay III. Our topic for the end of January is: Ethics ARE a Sales Strategy. Today we’re addressing a hard truth: unethical selling might “work” for a minute, but it never lasts. Trust erodes. Reputations suffer. Careers shorten. Last week, we covered Product Knowledge Is Not Optional. This is Part 4 of our ten-week conversation. In this episode, we’ll break down why integrity isn’t something you add later. It’s something you build from the start. We’ll talk about how trust compounds over time, why shortcuts always cost more than they save, and how ethical selling protects both the seller and the client. Longevity isn’t accidental. It’s built on consistent choices—one conversation at a time. Be sure to make The Closers Books part of your entrepreneurial library so you can follow along with us each week. Head on over to Ronzone Books on eBay. Your books will arrive with free shipping and signed by Ben Gay III. SPONSORED BY: A quick thank-you to our sponsor, David L. Brown.

Product Knowledge Is Not Optional --There is a difference between familiarity and mastery.Too many sellers rely on surface-level knowledge and hope enthusiasm will carry the rest. It won’t. Confidence collapses the moment a real question is asked and the answer isn’t there.Today’s conversation is about why knowing your product deeply isn’t old-fashioned, it’s essential.  Product knowledge builds trust, calms the conversation, and removes the need for pressure.When you truly understand what you’re offering, selling becomes clearer, quieter, and far more effective.You can’t use charm, confidence, or sales tactics to make up for not truly knowing what you’re selling.If you don’t understand your product (or service), you’ll eventually get stuck when someone asks:“How is this different from the other options?”“What problem does it actually solve?”“What happens if it doesn’t work for me?”“Why is it priced this way?”“Who is it not a fit for?”And when you can’t answer clearly, the sale usually dies.In other words, sales skill can’t compensate for a lack of real knowledge.SPONSORED BY: This episode of The Closers Inner Circle Podcast is sponsored by Joshua Hale — the Life-First Business Architect who helps creators close the gap between their marketing and real results.

The Closers Inner Circle Podcast with Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay III - The First Sale Is Always YourselfToday on The Closers Inner Circle Podcast we offer the second episode of a 10 part series that we started the first week of the new year and we are working with The Closers Pt 1.Last week we covered 'Selling is Learned, Practiced, and Respected'. Topic? Sales is often treated like a personality trait. Either you “have it” or you don’t. It is well worth listening to and taking plenty of notes while beginning this series from the beginning.Today we cover 'The First Sale Is Always Yourself'.Before any product is presented, before any conversation happens, there’s a sale that has already taken place. Or hasn’t.And that’s the sale you make to yourself.Belief is not hype. It’s not pretending. It’s the quiet confidence that comes from preparation, discipline, and knowing you’ve done the work. When belief is missing, hesitation shows up. And hesitation is expensive.Today, we’re talking about why confidence isn’t something you wait for. It’s something you earn. We’ll explore how belief shapes performance, why discipline matters more than motivation, and what happens when sellers expect results without first committing to the work.Because if you haven’t sold yourself on the value of what you do, no one else will.Buy The Closers Parts 1 and 2 at Ronzone Books and join us each week as we break down timeless sales principles you can actually use.SPONSORED BY: This week’s episode of The Closers Inner Circle Podcast is sponsored by Devon Blaine.Devon is the founder and CEO of The Blaine Group, Inc., a Beverly Hills-based communications, marketing, and public relations firm she launched in 1975.

Pivoting Ambition: Building a Successful Career Without Sacrificing Family or BalanceWhat happens when ambition no longer fits the structure you’re in?In this episode of Your Partner In Success Radio, I sit down with Kym Insana, a digital marketing expert and founder of AlwaysOn Digital, to talk about redefining ambition after parenthood, leaving corporate life without losing momentum, and building a company designed around both performance and people.Kym has always believed that you don’t have to choose between working hard, building a real career, and having the family life you want.

The Closers Inner Circle Podcast with Denise Griffitts and Ben Gay III - Selling is learned, practiced, and respected.Sales is often treated like a personality trait.Either you “have it” or you don’t.And that assumption has done more damage to the profession than almost anything else.Sales is not charm. It’s not being loud, slick, or persuasive on command. Sales is a profession. One that requires skill, discipline, preparation, and ethics. When it’s treated casually, the results are casual. Inconsistent. Short-lived.Today, we’re starting this series by going back to that foundational truth.With me is my co-host, Ben Gay III, author of Closers Parts One and Two, and someone who has lived this belief for decades. This idea shaped the entire arc of Ben’s career. Not because trends supported it, but because reality did.In this conversation, we’re going to talk about what separates amateurs from professionals, why casual selling quietly undermines trust, and what Ben has seen change over the years… and what absolutely has not.If you’re listening because you want better results this year, here’s the focus to keep in mind:If you treat selling casually, the results will be casual.And that’s where this conversation begins.SPONSORED BY Mitch Weisburgh.

From Engineer to Real Estate Investor: How Lane Kawaoka Built Scalable WealthWhat does it really take to build wealth without creating another full-time job?In this episode of Your Partner In Success Radio, Denise Griffitts sits down with real estate investor and author Lane Kawaoka to unpack the systems, mindset, and strategic decisions behind scalable wealth building for busy professionals.Lane shares how he transitioned from a traditional engineering career into large-scale real estate investing, why active strategies like flipping and wholesaling often fail high-income professionals, and how passive investing can be structured to support long-term freedom rather than constant hustle.Drawing from his book The Wealth Elevator, Lane explains why most people remain stuck on the lower “floors” of wealth, how access to better information changes outcomes, and what professionals need to understand about risk, scalability, and time leverage before making their first serious investment.This conversation goes beyond tactics. It explores the emotional side of money, the absence of mentorship in traditional career paths, and why systems—not effort alone—determine financial outcomes.If you’re a professional who wants your money working harder than you do, this episode offers a grounded, practical look at what sustainable wealth actually requires.If today’s conversation resonated with you, I highly recommend checking out The Wealth Elevator. Lane is offering the book in PDF, MP3, or physical copy formats as a complimentary gift for listeners and members of your network who request it.You’ll find all the details👉 https://thewealthelevator.com/authorSPONSORED BY: Jennifer Jensen.“Strong leadership begins with self-awareness.

Mickey Fitch-Collins From Bass Fishing to Breakout Rooms: How Human Connection Fuels LearningMickey Fitch-Collins is not your average leadership skills facilitator. With a PhD in Leadership in Higher Education and a career that spans academia, educational technology, and corporate learning, she brings what she calls the “goods, bads, and uglies” of learning and development into every conversation.Her leadership philosophy was shaped early. At 14, she wasn’t living a typical teenage life. She was teaching adults two to four times her age how to fish, running seminars, working expos, and learning how to connect across generations long before most people give their first presentation.That foundation deepened in college when she stepped into student leadership in September of 2001. Two weeks later, 9/11 reshaped her understanding of leadership in real time. That moment still informs how she thinks about responsibility, care, and human connection more than two decades later.She went on to spend her career in higher education, from frontline roles to the C-suite, blending academic rigor with real-time, one-to-one support. And like many people, she experienced what she calls not just the Great Resignation, but a Great Discernment, leading her into learning and development work where she now helps people get better at their work, one relationship at a time.Connect with Mickey on LinkedIn.SPONSORED BY: This episode of Your Partner In Success Radio is sponsored by The Entrepreneur's Compass from Joshua Hale, a system that replaces guessing, scattered marketing, and burnout-driven execution with a clear decision-making framework you can run your business from.

Today on Your Partner In Success Radio we are talking about the hardest question many business owners will ever face: is it time to keep building, or time to let go? Cynthia Kay’s upcoming book, 'Should You Stay, or Should You Go', dives into the emotional side of that decision long before the lawyers and bankers show up.This conversation will dig into why the “should I stay or should I go?” question is so emotionally loaded for business owners, and what hole Cynthia saw in the usual, spreadsheet-driven exit-planning advice that pushed her to write this new book, Should You Stay or Should You Go? We’ll get into her seven signs that it may be time to go, and her seven signs that you may actually need to stay put, teasing apart what’s just a rough season versus the deeper signals—like disappearing passion, becoming more of a caretaker than a leader, sleepless nights, or realizing you’re simply not emotionally ready to walk away. You’ll also hear how she uses tough, inquiry-based questions and practical worksheets to help owners track their feelings over time, what her real-world stories reveal about exiting well or staying well, and a few concrete steps you can take over the next 90 days if you suspect you’re standing at your own crossroads.Connect with Cynthia Kay: Website | LinkedIn | InstagramSPONSORED BY: Your Partner In Success Radio.Hosted by Denise Griffitts, Your Partner In Success Radio brings conversations with entrepreneurs and leaders on building sustainable businesses.

End Sleepless Nights Forever: The Dreamer Sound Machine That Works for Adults TooToday’s guest on Your Partner In Success Radio is Josh Bronfman, the president and co‑founder of Quiet Time and the sleep‑well brand Dreamer. Josh developed The Dreamer alongside his wife after becoming exhausted new parents themselves, creating a science-informed, design-forward sound machine that started as their personal solution and has become a powerful sleep tool for the whole family.What makes The Dreamer different is that it isn’t just a cute nursery gadget. It uses carefully tuned, natural sound profiles to create a steady audio cocoon that helps calm overstimulated brains, mask the noises that keep us waking up all night, and make it easier to fall—and stay—asleep. Whether you’re trying to soothe a fussy baby or you are an adult who simply does not sleep well — that would be me —, Josh’s mission is to give you a simple, beautiful device that travels with you and helps you get real rest, night after night.Connect with Josh Bronfman: Instagram | Website | Sleep TipsSPONSORED BY: This episode of Your Partner In Success Radio is proudly sponsored by Cynthia Kay, known as CK.
