Send us Fan Mail It's Bill's birthday — and that means one thing: it's time to talk about gifts. But not the usual Amazon cards and polka dot sweaters.

In this episode, you'll hear about the gift of applying abundance thinking to your sales life, why investing in yourself is the one gift no one else will buy you, the power of true free time (and w...

Send us Fan Mail If AI keeps handing you generic, forgettable output, the tool usually isn’t the problem. You never taught it who you are, who you sell to, or how you sell. In this episode, Bill and Bryan get into the AI conversation everyone’s having. Their angle is a practical one: training your AI so it works the way you do. They start with the shift from “prompting” to simply talking, out loud, in voice mode or a voice memo. Then they walk through the first five of their ten training ques...
Send us Fan Mail Telling a buyer what it's like to work with you is like showing someone your vacation photos. They'll say "oh, that's nice." They won't feel a thing.

It's learning, unlearning, and relearning fast. What worked six years ago, or even last year before AI research tools changed prospecting, may be irre...
Send us Fan Mail What happens to your sales skills when you haven't had to use them? Muscles you don't use get weaker, and sales skills work the same way. In Episode 900, Bill and Bryan start a two-part look at skill atrophy. One team lost the lead channel it depended on and suddenly has to create sales from scratch. Another company's reps have spent five years telling customers to get in line. Neither group is ready for what comes next. Bill and Bryan also explain why "just talk like a norma...
Send us Fan Mail Twenty years ago, LinkedIn had 50 employees and cold calling ruled the day. Now AI writes your emails and nobody's picking up the phone — so what actually still works? This week Bill and Bryan mark 20 years of the Advanced Selling Podcast with a celebration episode: listener shoutouts (including a great one from longtime listener Andy in the UK), a quick teaching on the WAG framework you can steal for your next client conversation, and an honest look back at how selling has c...
