It is time to score a sales training goal! The end of the year always feels like controlled chaos. Projects are wrapping up, budgets are being finalized, and everyone seems distracted by Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year’s plans. But while some salespeople use that as an excuse to slow down, top performers know this is the time to step up. In my world of media marketing and ad sales training, the fourth quarter is one of the best opportunities of the entire year. Companies are still making decisions. Budgets still need to be spent. Clients still want to end the year strong. I coach more than eighty sales professionals every month, and the ones who crush their goals do not let the calendar dictate their pace. They stay active, intentional, and value-driven. Here are three strategies that will help you finish the year like a pro. 1. Bring Real Value to Every Meeting Let’s be honest. If a meeting only benefits you, it is not valuable for the client. This time of year, every c...

For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI Friday, October 31, 2025   “Assertive” means to be confident in your language and actions. “Aggressive” means confrontative and ready to attack. In business relationships, it's never good to be “aggressive” but it's always good to be “assertive.” Yet many people mix them up, as though telling a prospect or client that they're wrong about something is aggressive behavior, and asking about an overdue check due you is somehow “confrontative.” I think you're smart enough to know the language that makes all the difference. If you're not assertive, you'll never be able to merge into traffic, by taking your proper turn. If you're aggressive, you'll force your way in even if it's not your turn. If you really want to help clients, then you have to be assertive about your value. You have to speak up, “blow your own horn,” (or there won't be any music). Powerful people prefer to deal with p...

By Brian Walter, CSP, CPAE, Cavett Award Recipient Okay, the words “Clooney” and “paparazzi” in this headline may seem to go together. But… genocide ? Yet if you do what I do, and search online for old media stories, you’d discover an amazing insight on how to make our speeches more “sticky.” This insight came from a Newsweek cover story on George Clooney ( “A 21st Century Statesman” ). Here’s the backstory. Starting in the mid 2000s, George has been investing his celebrity power in compelling public and political attention to the plight of Sudan. This is the same country that experienced the genocide of 400,000 people in Darfur. Warring rebels, militias, and government forces have continuously wreaked human carnage along the border of Sudan. But here’s the thing. Those same factions are wary of world scrutiny. Enter George Clooney. Or more specifically, George Clooney’s satellite . The deal is this: privately funded and publicly accessible satellite imagery (The Copernicus Progra...

SUMMARY BY CHATGPT ??? Episode Overview Tom Antion shares several useful iPhone tips (most also apply to Android users) and a few updates about his business resources.

More than half of all Google searches now finish without the consumer clicking on a link. Yes, that’s true: 60% of individuals who search obtain their answers straight away from AI tools like Google’s AI Overviews or ChatGPT, and they never go to your site. You can be losing potential consumers every day if you simply utilize traditional SEO to obtain traffic and leads. The Problem: The Zero-Click Challenge Is Real and Getting Worse People search in new ways now that there are answer engines that use AI. They give you rapid, correct answers immediately on the page of search results. What are the bad things? Fewer clicks, less organic traffic, and fewer chances to turn leads into paying clients. But here’s the twist: AI isn’t killing SEO; it’s making it better . If you can adjust quickly, this new dynamic can actually help your firm develop faster than it did before. To stay visible in this new search environment, your website must be optimized for how AI tools like ChatG...

Retention doesn’t start on Day One. It starts with how you recruit, how you welcome, and how you make people feel from the very beginning. In my Banish Organizational Burnout talks, I often say: Burnout is not a people problem. It’s an organizational problem and happens when people feel disengaged, unsupported, and overwhelmed. Retention and burnout prevention both hinge on one key principle: Your people need to feel like they matter. That starts the moment you post a job and the way you communicate with and stay in touch with candidates. I wrote about that in detail last week. Once they’re hired, onboarding is a key tool in the retention equation. Onboarding Is a Retention Tool How do you structure your onboarding? Do you bring new hires into the HR conference room and show them a video about the company and have them sign papers, choosing their basic benefits and then send them on their way? Did you know that new hires with strong onboarding are 70% more productive . What...

“Welcome to India, where everything is against the law.” That is a line from a recent article in The Economist. India is said to have 7,305 crimes at the national level, with three-quarters of them punishable by imprisonment. According to The Economist, under section 40 of the Bombay Prohibition Act of 1949, a person must hold a permit to drink liquor. A first violation of the law could attract a fine of 10,000 rupees (about $110) and up to six months in prison. The penchant for rulemaking is said to be equally prevalent at the state level in India. In the state of Uttarakhand, two people in a romantic relationship who decide to live together must register and pay a fee within 30 days of cohabitation. Failure to do so carries a fine and up to three months in jail. If the relationship later sours and the couple decides to go their separate ways, they are required to pay another fee to de-register. The Economist says that because everything seems forbidden in India, Indians have becom...

SUMMARY BY CHATGPT ??? Overview Tom Antion explores whether discount phone services — often called MVNOs (Mobile Virtual Network Operators) — are a smart choice for entrepreneurs. These low-cost plans sound appealing, but as he explains, they come with strings attached. ________________________________________ ?? What Are Discount Phone Services? Think of MVNOs like renters borrowing someone else’s house — they lease space on major networks (Verizon, AT&T, T-Mobile) rather than owning the network themselves. Popular examples include Red Pocket, Patriot, and Mint Mobile. ________________________________________ ? Pros (The Upsides) • Low cost: Some plans advertise rates as low as $10/month. • Unlimited talk/text/data: Technically true, but with limits (explained below). • No contracts: Month-to-month freedom; no long-term lock-ins. • Unlocked phones: You can bring your own device. These perks make them appealing if you’re on a tight startup budget or just dipping your t...

Yes, size still matters. (hee hee, cue the teenage giggles) It’s no shocker that sizing and fit drive a huge share of apparel returns. Coresight Research puts it at over half. The bill is brutal: shipping, inspection, restocking, markdowns, and scrapping what cannot be resold. In some models, up to two-thirds of a product’s price ends up covering returns. Returns crush profit and, in extreme cases, dent loyalty as customers switch brands after poor fit. Think of it this way: sizing is a moving target. Bodies and preferences evolve. GLP-1 use is one clear and obvious driver. However, that factor does not operate in isolation. Regional style and body trends make the target move in another direction. Consider that The Wall Street Journal recently showed how plastic surgery procedures vary by region, which means a size profile in Los Angeles can differ from Miami. Meanwhile, brands stay relatively static. Outdated fit blocks persist. Feedback from stores and digital channels rarely f...

From memory loss to mood instability, science shows alcohol’s damage runs deeper than most imagine. Curated Lifestyle @unsplash.com People share different stories about their drinking habits that range from celebrating friendships to finding comfort and using alcohol for relaxation. In fact, many people with social anxiety disorder are particularly prone to excess alcohol consumption because it helps them relax. The glass becomes dangerous when it reaches the brain’s maximum capacity because it then transforms into something shocking and undesirable: brain damage. Heavy drinking creates this brain damage through its ability to harm memory functions, emotional responses, and personality traits. Many of us have witnessed this sudden change in personality when someone is “over the line” in their drinking — and it can be pretty upsetting for everyone. But the damage process develops gradually as it transforms brain operations, and that is one of its most dangerous aspects. The b...

Scott Galloway ( @profgalloway ) is a professor of marketing at NYU’s Stern School of Business and a serial entrepreneur. Scott has founded nine companies and served on the boards of The New York Times Company, Urban Outfitters, Berkeley’s Haas School of Business, Panera Bread, and Ledger. His latest book is Notes on Being a Man , and I deeply believe in Scott’s mission and messages with this book. We are sitting on a tinderbox and need to address the elephant in the room: young men need help. In high school, I won the lottery by chancing upon one coach, whose influence saved me from the fates of many of my male friends: jail, overdoses, DUI deaths, and more. Ever since, I’ve searched for ways that we might nudge young men towards optimism and better lives. Left unaddressed, the potential for violence and societal disaster is also high. Testosterone and aggression will go somewhere, so best to channel it. I’m hoping Scott’s book will act as a virtual mentor for young men who are ...
