Episode Highlights

01:34 – Your sales team is the heart of your business. And everybody says, “Oh, no, no, my product is the heart of my business.” Well, it may be the soul of your business, but it is not the heart, because it is the sales team that pumps the lifeblood through your organization and keeps it going. Because without that heart pumping, there’s no company. And if you think about it, your heart isn’t in your pinky. Because if it were in your pinky, it couldn’t pump life blood through your body. It’s in the center of your body for a reason, because it needs to be there. And your sales team is the center of your business, because it’s all about the customer. And your sales team is the first team that really touches your customer directly. Marketing may influence them, but the sales team touches them.

Elzie Flenard The Mayor of Podcast Town

I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur as a teenager. I would create my own board games and basketball leagues in my bedroom. I would dream of flying cars and spend hours solving problems with business ideas.

I've had just about every job out there - I was a janitor for a short time, I've worked fast food, I worked in an ammunition factory (wasn't a bad gig actually), I've cleaned the bottom of barges --- I even worked in a CD manufacturing company! I've worked in corporate as an electronics technician, electrical engineer and operations manager.

These experiences shaped me. They helped me become the business leader and entrepreneur I am today. I've been podcasting since 2016 and I look forward to many more years of having conversations with bright minds from all walks of life.

I get to live my dream of being an entrepreneur. I get to chart my own path and impact others through my work ... I'm truly Livin' the Dream!
