Biggest Win Sales Podcast#20: Video Branding on LinkedIn for Canadian Sales

Jon Levesque - Video Branding on LinkedIn for Canadian Sales

Jon Levesque started his sales career with his first company that he started in college @ Seneca with my friend Shabby. It was a music entertainment company and he was selling our college/university campus hip hop tours across the country. He was also selling our artists album to Sunshine Records and HMV stores across Canada back when CD’s mattered.

He got fired from Future Steel Buildings in Markham, went to a 3rd party collection agency for a year then got into my first tech sales job at Softchoice in Liberty Village.

He got into sales Leadership at SHI International
He later entered Software vendor sales at BMC Software
and now he’s in his dream job at Datadog.

"I saw 'A' an opportunity to do something very unique and in terms of branding and building a brand in Canada from literally the ground-up, it's exciting...... and how do you get your name out there? I think that I wanted to be able to use multiple vehicles and I felt like LinkedIn was probably the best platform to reach as many people, I'll call my target audience, as humanly possible."

Biggest Win Sales Podcast#19: Three Pilars to Any Business

EP15 Mike Coyle - Three Pilars to Any Business

Mike Coyle, 47 year old Sales and Marketing professional. Currently VP Sales Americas for Powertraveller - manufacturer of portable power and solar products.



Most of those that know Mike see him as a strong leader who blends the power of being honest with a healthy dose of empathy. He places enormous emphasis on being straight forward often at the detriment of political correctness.

“Strong leadership comes from being able to be honest with people to help them get out of their own way and focus on the task at hand”, are words you will often hear from Mike. Combine those leadership skills with his ability to plan strategically and implement tactically, you end up with a new breed of sales and marketing tactician required in todays fast changing business environment.



His most recent success came with a multi million deal landed with one of his current employers largest customers. “we had kind of fallen off the map with these guys and after several meetings the decision came down to one person. A Japanese gentleman, who rarely spoke. He held all of the cards and as he listened to me speak for a 20 minute presentation, he said nothing. At the end I asked for the business, he paused for an agonizing 2 minutes. After lots of pondering and almost comical facial expressions, he agreed. That was the longest 2 minutes of my life.”



Mike is currently facing his latest challenge building a new business segment for the company he works for, applying the strategies he has learned over the years. He is a major asset for the company he works for today. He treats the business as if it were his own and uses his own set of values and principles to guide him.

The Best of Podcasters | Clay Groves

Clay Groves is obsessed with fish and best known for a quest (with former host Dave Kellam) in 2011 to catch and eat every kind of freshwater fish in New Hampshire. After catching and eating 48 species of fish and ending the epic quest, he could not stop talking about the adventures or the fishy people met along the way. Thus, the podcast was born. The style has been described as a cross between NPR’s Car Talk and the Tonight Show Night (Fallon, not Leno). The podcast is just about to have it's fifth birthday with the recording of the 200th episode scheduled for memorial day. The Fish Nerds have been featured on National Public Radio, Boston Public Radio, New Hampshire Public Radio and nearly every news outlet in New Hampshire. In addition Clay is a nationally recognized speaker who has spoken at the Virginia Aquarium and Marine Science Center, on stage at WGBH Boston and at the Boston Symphony. When Clay is not podcasting he writes grants to fund afterschool programming and runs a Fishing Guide Service.

Alexander, The Podcaster's Coach

-----
I haven’t connected with a friend since Christmas. We were over-due to connect and I was heading toward his neighborhood one day. He always makes time to have a coffee for me. I’ve known him for 12-13 years.

I call him. His phone is out of service. It’s happened one time before. He has a crummy job and goes through these periods of no work. He lost his phone before, but managed to get it back. He called me when it happened. This time around, he did not give me a heads up. I waited for a week. Nothing.

Fed up of calling a phone number that was invalid, I went to his apartment. No luck. There was mail in his mailbox. I wrote a note and stuffed it in. What’s going on? Give me a call.

Another week, nothing.

I leave messages at the place where I think he works, but is not in the directory. I find out who the property owner of his building is and leave messages…..more like pleas. Do you have any info. Somebody feels sorry for me and calls me back. He moved a couple of weeks ago. So he hasn’t died. I am suppose to be his emergency contact. I am relieved, but I have no way to reach him. We had no mutual friends. He is a single city dweller and I am a family man in the sub-burbs.

Two weeks I worried, almost always assuming the worst. When I found out he moved, I was mad. Why isn’t he connecting with me. I have sent emails. He can check his email at the library. Why? What is wrong.

Then the pain set in. He loved his neighborhood. He had been living in his apartment for about 20 years. He’ll never afford his neighborhood now. He’s almost 60. He’s slower. He’s been having major allergy issues. Last time I visited, we walked to the coffee shop and he had to stop midway to catch his breath.

Where is he? Is he on the street? Is he sick? Did he lose his job? No one will hire him. He’s too old. How can he get by? He has no family. What’s happened? Why?

On and on this went inside my head. My body would follow feeling grief. I was in grieving over circumstances that I did not have information on. Grief became my meditation practice. I was totally fine when it was out of mind, but when it came back, I struggled. The grief sucked my energy and I was sad. Quite frankly, I was sick of myself. I wanted to get out of myself. I just wanted a break.

I have not touched booze in 3 months, but it was the only solution to escape myself. 4 beers and a movie. My children stayed away, without me even asking, and I had a few hours of forgetting.

But of course, I would pay for it. Even thought it was only 4 beers, it completely ruined my sleep. My body detests alcohol. It fights it. While I try to sleep, my body is going crazy working the alcohol out. It keeps me up. I wake up, not rested, and therefore unproductive. Thank god for Sundays.

My focused moved from my lost friend to my stupidity.

When Monday came around, I began to realize that I was grieving over fiction. I had created various negative situations regarding my lost friend. I knew 2 things only - his phone number does not work and he moved. I know nothing else.

I formed these attachments. I became attached to the melancholy. I became attached to grief. I became especially attached to myself - how dare he not call me? Am I not his friend?! Then I became attached to an old coping mechanism, beer, that I knew stopped working. It’s no good, if the end result is bad. The end result being a full day of being tired and not well rested, not to mention being harmful to this vehicle called my body.

Let me tell you something about this experience, and I want you to think about it. Do you do this too? I grieved over fantasy. I went with worse case scenario and experienced a roller...

The Best of Podcasters | John Lee Dumas

Hey, this is Alexander Laurin and you are listening to the final episode of season one, of the Podcaster’s Life. My Special guest today is John Lee Dumas!

Thank you for joining me. I took some additional time off after the Christmas break. I finished writing my book. It’s called ‘The Book on Podcasting: An Insiders Guide to Recording Success’. I am really excited to have finished it. It was a lot of work, but I loved doing it. Right now, it’s getting formatted for paperback and the book cover, front and back are coming to completion. Baring any disaster, it will be on sale at the end of the month. It feels really great to say that.

I managed to get 15 minutes with John Lee Dumas, and wouldn’t you know it, it did not record well, but I salvaged what I could. I just bombarded him with questions and then we jumped into a Micro Podcast Improv.

Can you imagine how many people John Lee Dumas has helped? I want to be just like John Lee Dumas and have the power to help an unlimited amount of people.

Before I go and close this season, I’d like to tell you that the podcast is changing. It’s been heavily focused on interviews, but I am going to take a season, and not do any interviews. Also, I’m adding the word HAPPY to the title. The Happy Podcasters Life. I want to inspire you, I want to motivate you, and I want you to be a successful person. If you want success, you must have happiness. That’s my mission. On paper, my mission reads - help 1M Podcasters. As the weeks pass, I hope to hear from you and discover if I am moving closer to my goal of reaching 1M people.
