We're onto something big... At Crüe Club, we have something truly special. Our focus on genuine connections and knowledge sharing sets us apart. The round table discussions at our events are like "MBA-level conversations" and high-quality conference discussions—but with one key difference: you're an active participant, not just a number in the crowd. Yesterday, Omar Elizondo led an informative and vulnerable discussion at our Oklahoma City luncheon. The topic was "Intention and Attitude in a Consolidated Market." It was an engaging session that highlighted the importance of our networks, from job hunting to deal-making, how our actions impact others, leadership and personal accountability, and the value of intentionality in our time and contributions.

Attract or chase your customers? Which approach will make you more successful?

Second time at IMTS, and it never fails to awe and inspire. Apart from a chance to connect face-to-face with our clients, it's also my opportunity to get a look at what's new in the manufacturing and automation industry, and to look at how leaders are setting themselves apart with their marketing. And on that topic... blog post coming soon!

April Phil's Triumph: The Culmination of a Quarter's Commitment 🏆 In the world of sales at Phase 2 Growth, I've come to appreciate a fundamental truth: the triumphs of 'April Phil' are the fruits of the labour put in during January, February, and March. It's a vivid reminder that our quarterly targets are achieved through persistent effort, not overnight. 🗓️ Each day across January, February, and March is a crucial piece in this puzzle. They're not just fleeting moments but pivotal steps in building towards April's success. Every LinkedIn message, every email – they all count. They're the groundwork ensuring that when April dawns, the targets are not just met, but exceeded. 🌱 This rhythm of dedication and achievement isn't unique to me; it resonates across the sales landscape. It's about understanding that our future victories are being crafted in the present, with each decision and action. Reflect on your path – how are your current efforts laying the groundwork for your future milestones? #QuarterlySuccess #SalesPersistence #Phase2Growth #DailyMilestones #Patience

For V. With (Inspired by MANY real life events over the last 11 years of running an agency.) — Some may call it semantics, and I’m sure this topic has been covered before, but since it has bothered me for years I want to add my humble perspective to the conversation. This one has always bothered me to my core. UNFOLD currently has somewhere in the realm of 150+ members on the team. Not one of them works *FOR* Daniel Weisinger and I. Everyone works *WITH* Daniel and I, or better said, we work along side one another. This is such an important distinction because the team that exists at UNFOLD do not exist to prop up our Fabergé egos. Truth be told I actually don’t want to hire anyone that wants to work FOR us. Working FOR us suggests subordination and all the heady power dynamics that accompany it. None of which give us an advantage over competition or make the company vastly stronger. Working WITH on the other hand speaks to the mutual respect we covet, and communicating with everyone as equals. We want the team to feel okay to disagree with us when necessary. We want the team to feel okay to take a big swing and not live in fear of a miss. We want the team to know that we’re in it with them. We want the team to know that we win together and we lose together. (I can list so many more, but I gotta wrap this up.) Most important to me is that working WITH honors all the hard work, late nights, and battles fought (won or lost) that we have seen together over the years. I count my blessings that we have had the privilege of working along side some the most intensely smart, talented, driven, passionate and dedicated mother-funkers on the planet. (Got a little carried away bragging on the team a little.) Daniel and I, we ain’t the CEOs managing from afar via a P&L. We are proud on the ground operators, grinding it out most days to move the needle to accomplish the business objectives at hand. This only happens by working WITH the team.

The power of combining top-tier partners with a leading company, all while fostering an environment where employees are empowered to make a positive impact. Together, we're achieving incredible results through collaboration and shared values. #SuccessStory #Empowerment #Partnership #connectandprotect
