Send a text Bill and Bryan are giving you a preview of the March 6th ASP Insider session — and it's one you don't want to miss. The topic is From Content to Conquest, but this isn't a social media training. It's about what you know, what you believe, and how you package your expertise so prospects say, "I want to know more."

Bill shares a coaching win whe...

Send a text Last week, Bill and Bryan covered mental discipline—getting your head right. This week, they shift to operational discipline: the actual behaviors and systems that high performers use to win. This isn't about overhauling your entire life. It's about looking at your current operational system and asking: Is this working? If yes, keep rolling. If not, tweak and modify. Bill and Bryan break down five operational disciplines they see in top performers: committing to writing and idea c...

I love the pool story.
Bill and Brian are very entertaining as they speak off-the-cuff about sales and communication issues that relate to any industry - and any skill level.
"Advanaced" is misleading, the material will seem new only if You are new to selling. In general, this is a trite repackaing of the obvious.
I listened to several of these and found that ONCE YOU GET TO THE MEAT OF THE TOPIC they are pretry good. The biggest problem is wading through the chit chat that gets in the way of the meaningful dialog.
