How John Barrows Turned His Passion Into a $5 million Sales Business

Deep Dive: John Barrows

  • Barrows started out selling power tools, which allowed him to build up his basic sales foundation.

Pros Are Mastering Conversation Intelligence With These 3 Sales Tools

They say tools are only as good as the person using them. But why not get your hands on the best ones out there? Conversation intelligence refers to a software’s ability to record and transcribe sales calls, for the purpose of future improvements on the part of your sales reps. Here are three sales tools that pros use to identify keywords and topics of conversation; all for the purpose of closing more deals!

Up your game with some Sales Motivation!

  • A lot of sales reps talk the talk, but are they actually closing deals? 

  • Up conversions when you add this to your virtual selling toolbox.

  • Can’t sell high-ticket items? It’s not too late to use this strategy.

  • Conquer cold calling with help from Morgan J Ingram.

Your Daily Dose of Sales

If you took a look at the cold calling video we shared above then you already have an idea what to expect from Ingram. Morgan J Ingram is 4x LinkedIn Top Sales Voice and specialises in B2B Sales. He’s recently started working on a new series called “Sales in the Streets” that will be shared on his Twitter (X account) and maybe other platforms as well. So give him a follow and get ready to take your Sales game all the way to the top!

Lori Richardson is host of the podcast Conversations with Women in Sales, and her social media content is super insightful. She posts content from her podcast, but there are other gems on her LinkedIn: for instance, she recently shared a post, displaying how a female sales rep positioned herself for a coveted role at a company with a very strategic approach. This piece of content stood out to us as it’s an example of one of the things women struggle with in the workplace. Luckily, a shift in strategy can make all the difference.
