Who is Frank Husmann:

As a former SaaS founder, I know the challenges and pitfalls all too well. With my experience in B2B marketing and sales, I am happy to help you grow your business. Frank is the founder at Maxiality where they transform B2B companies into the #1 choice in their industry so they consistently generate opportunities, shorten their sales cycle, and lower their acquisition costs.

Reaching out to prospects is difficult, especially when selling high-ticket B2B services. Because the sales cycles are long, and the buying committee is large. And as a former SaaS founder, I know how hard this can be.

The result is that you’re constantly worrying about finding new clients, spending a lot of your budget on marketing, cold calling, and trying to convert leads into sales. And you are struggling with how to communicate your ACTUAL value.

Now, imagine your brand is seen as the ONLY CHOICE in your industry. Because you are the AUTHORITY in your market. And sales doesn’t feel like selling, but more like having casual chats with prospects.

Potential clients find YOU instead of you chasing THEM. And your only worry is how to support all that DEMAND. You are in control. And YOU select which prospects you want to work with.

We implement Authority Marketing by:

● Leveraging the founders’ expertise and insights by interviewing them

● Creating multi-channel content based on those interviews and a solid content strategy

● Building trust and credibility with the ideal target audience

● Generating demand and driving growth

This will consistently:

● GENERATE OPPORTUNITIES

● SHORTEN SALES CYCLES

● LOWER ACQUISITION COSTS

earn the secret to closing more deals by saying less. In this episode, we dive deep into the art of strategic silence and the power of understatement from our guest Discover how to:

  1. Captivate your audience: Learn how to hook your listeners from the start and keep them engaged.
  2. Master the art of listening: Uncover the importance of active listening and how it can lead to more closed deals.
  3. Build trust and rapport: Learn how to establish strong relationships with your clients by saying less.
  4. Close more deals: Discover the proven techniques to close more deals with less effort.

Things sales people should consider that could hurt their chances of closing a sale: Salespeople who dominate conversations can significantly harm their chances of #closingdeals

Research shows that the optimal talk-to-listen ratio for sales success is around 43:57, meaning the salesperson should be listening more than they are speaking

However, many sales reps tend to speak for 65-75% of the time during calls, which can lead to lower conversion rates.

By encouraging the client to talk more, salespeople can better understand their needs and tailor their pitch accordingly, ultimately improving their chances of success.

Often we hear the 80-20 rule that the client should be talking 80% of the time. Seems like it should be more of a balanced conversation

Who is Amanda Hill?

I use my 23 years of experience as a lawyer to help doctors see what they don’t. Certain deals to avoid. Certain statutes to be aware of. I help them see their own value, find their own leverage, and I teach them how to negotiate for what they are truly worth.

I became especially passionate about helping doctors transition from one job to the next, so they don’t feel lost or confused as to when to put in their notice, how to let go of the past, tips in dealing with a toxic work environment, advice on finding their own strength, and guidance on contract negotiation.

I’ve spoken on large stages and small conference rooms, and I’ve been published on sites such as Medical Economics, MedScape, KevinMD, and more.

In the past few years, I have helped doctors:

  • Negotiate from a position of power
  • Prevent massive audits and compliance nightmares
  • Prepare for employment issues that they know are coming
  • Respond to patients and staff who make their lives miserable

When you’re ready to go from surviving to thriving as a doctor, let’s talk.

Who Is Our Guest Christine McDannell? Principal | M&A Business Intermediary & Broker▪️Helping business owners achieve seamless exit.

I love creating concepts & businesses from the ground up. That's what motivated me to start one of my earlier companies, Cleanology, in 2003. House cleaning had a horrible reputation and I knew I could make a positive shift in that industry​.

I started with $300 and a vacuum cleaner. So, after founding, growing, acquiring, raising capital, and selling over 20+ businesses of my own across several verticals including cleaning, health + wellness, beauty, technology (SaaS), exotic car rentals, CoLiving, and real estate, I realized that there was a formula behind the perfect business sale and I LOVE helping others do the same!

It took me decades to perfect a grand-slam system for buying, selling & acquiring companies - one that works. That’s when friends & fellow entrepreneurs came to me wanting help selling their own businesses that I finally agreed to step in and do what I know best. And the rest, as they say, is history.

I now run The Magnolia Firm 🌸, a highly specialized boutique business brokerage firm supporting entrepreneurs through the finish line of the most important steps they will ever take: selling their company.

Charles Bio: Charlie’s photography career began in the clubs of Boston in the late 1970s photographing local bands. Before long he was photographing major acts such as Crosby, Still, and Nash, Queen, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Jimmy Buffet, and more. In New York and Los Angeles, he continued to photograph bands, many who were performing on the same bill as he was with his own bands.

In 1999 while still at Microsoft, Charlie began his business, Charles Cotugno Photography, photographing families and seniors. He also founded the non-profit organization, Stories of Autism, which organized 250 photographers throughout the U.S. to create fine art portraits and collect the stories of people in their communities living with autism.

After leaving Microsoft in 2014, Charlie turned his efforts full time to his photography business, transitioning into commercial photography. In 2018, he was diagnosed with Meniere’s Disease, causing fluid to gather in the inner and trigger bouts of severe vertigo. Unable to predict when these attacks would occur, he was forced to change his business model to one that didn’t include travel and large budgets. In 2022, he rebranded as a headshot photographer, opened a studio in the SoDo neighborhood of Seattle. In the time since, Charlie has become one of the most sought-after headshot photographers in the Seattle area and his business has never been better. Fortunately, his Meniere’s Disease has been in remission for the last twelve months.
