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. Bill just got back from two weeks out West, including Death Valley and a 98-degree "cooling" pool. Showing his family the photos made one thing obvious: a picture of the experience is nothing like being there. In this episode, Bill and Bryan apply that to selling. Are you giving prospects a real experience of working with you, o...

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 Your sales skills didn't disappear. They atrophied. And the fix isn't picking up where you left off, because the market moved while you weren't looking. In Part 2 of their series on sales skill atrophy, Bill Caskey and Bryan Neale shift from diagnosis to repair. They start with a challenge: the modern skill isn't just learning. 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...
Send us Fan Mail Twenty years ago, Bill and Bryan started recording a podcast every other Monday. They never missed the behavior — and that consistency turned out to matter more than talent, luck, or a growth strategy ever did. To kick off ASP's 20th anniversary celebration, Bill and Bryan share the first of several listener tribute clips — this one from Scott, a longtime Insider member and one of the "Globetrotters," a small accountability group that formed out of the show. Scott's story bec...
