Welcome to She Sells Radio this is going to be such a fun episode because I get to bring to you one of my clients one of
0:09
my dear friends who I have gotten to witness do some pretty incredible things
0:15
over the past few years including publish his first book which is called inner sales child unlocking sales
0:23
success by tapping in childhood wisdom which if you’re watching this video on YouTube you can see him holding it up so
0:28
cool David Ray welcome to She Sells Radio it’s such an honor to have you and
0:34
your book is incredible I’ve been reading through it um preparing for this and I just I love how you are bringing
0:40
people back to the truth of H of who they are and how that can positively influence their sales process so I’m
0:47
super excited to have this conversation with you today awesome thank you so much Elyse I can’t tell you how much I
0:53
appreciate being here today but also your support encouragement and belief in
0:59
me uh for those who don’t know I have been working with Elyse for a number of years and she has seen the Genesis of
1:06
this idea and to be able to see it through its conclusion and to see what’s next and we’ll talk a little bit about
1:12
that today I couldn’t be more excited so thank you oh my gosh it’s this is so fun so you know what I want to just Dive
1:19
Right In because I feel like as I was reading through the book it’s it’s super actionable and so almost every line I
1:26
was reading I’m like man that could be a question that could be a question so I want to dive in and and pull out some of
1:31
the core themes that you talk about so our listeners can get the most out of this and one of the core themes
1:37
obviously is authenticity in sales and know I I I know the word authenticity
1:42
can get thrown around a lot and people like oh what is it am I you know how much does it matter but here’s what you
1:48
say which I think is so true is that people buy from people they know and trust and the first step toward creating
1:54
trust is being ourselves and here’s what I know
2:00
is that that can be hard for people to do I think most everyone on the planet
2:05
has a point in their life where they realize there’s a gap between how they’re showing up on the outside and
2:10
how they feel like they have to be the image they have to portray to be successful to be safe Etc versus who
2:17
they really are on the inside and how they really feel about themselves and so in sales oh my gosh I mean this can be
2:25
even more intense because we either feel like a lot of times as women we feel like we have to be perfect
2:30
or you may feel like you’ve got to know all the answers and put on a front in order to be successful so why isn’t that
2:37
the case and I don’t know how big of a question this is maybe this becomes the entire interview who knows but how do we
2:44
overcome that if we don’t feel comfortable being 100% ourselves yet no
2:50
so lots to unpack there um you know a few things just to to get out you know from the start you’re absolutely right
2:57
and I’m glad you picked up on that is being kind of the central theme of the book um for me what was such a challenge
3:04
early in my career is I felt the need to have a personal identity and a professional identity I felt like I
3:11
needed to come across a different way you know at work in front of clients in front of co-workers and that really
3:18
created this divide in Who I Really Am versus how I was perceived by so many people that I was working with and that
3:24
ultimately created that impostor syndrome that you hear so much about you
3:29
know within a lot of work um what I’ve you know often found though is you know when you look at sales and you look at
3:36
success and what do you need for not just immediate success but sustainable success it really does come down to that
3:42
authenticity and establishing our Rapport creating trust you know differentiating yourself those are all
3:49
key aspects of a success successful sale there’s a tongue twister but they’re all linked to authenticity so think of you
3:56
know who are you why are you doing this what makes you different and also how
4:02
can you make others feel because that’s a big key it’s not just about what can you sell them how can you come across
4:08
what kind of feeling what kind of uh emotion are you going to you know evoke you know within them you because you
4:15
want to make them feel heard invalidated understood appreciated you want them to
4:20
feel like you know you are present and that you are their only client when you’re speaking with them you you don’t
4:26
want it to feel like this is a sale in fact something my grandfather father pop for those who haven’t read the book he
4:31
is a key character uh within my book and one of the reasons that I am in sales
4:37
today one of the big things that pop used to always say is when it comes to sales don’t try to sell anything just
4:43
provide value just try to find ways to help people overcome a problem that
4:48
they’re having if it happens to lead to something that you can help with that ultimately turns into a sale fantastic
4:55
but if you lead with that value Centric mindset of just trying to help people and make their lives better it makes you
5:02
feel more fulfilled it also lowers the barrier of entry with your potential client because they don’t feel you know
5:09
always on guard like they have to protect themselves from here’s the pushy salesman coming in they just see a
5:15
friend a you know a colleague you know oftentimes who really just wants to help
5:20
and to me I think that’s a a really important aspect of sales that often gets overlooked is you know don’t try to
5:28
sell just allow it to happen naturally create an environment where a sale can happen rather than forcing
5:34
something I want to come back to that because you talk about that in the book too that was actually a question I wanted to ask I’m glad you brought that
5:40
up you know I think about as you’re talking about this when I first got into
5:45
sales and I was in my early 20s and um selling yellow pages to start so I
5:51
always feel like a dinosaur when I say that moved on to yeah right moved on to digital media and did well in that but I
5:58
just remember feeling like I had to be someone completely different than who I was and
6:05
being really motivated to be successful and top of the leaderboard um but just
6:10
feeling this massive Gap in the image I was putting out versus how I was feeling
6:16
inside and it wasn’t until I did some of the work that you now that you teach and that you talk about in the book and
6:22
really it’s it’s kind of a returning to who you really are at your core and realizing that that person those ele
6:29
ments that we had and that we embraced maybe as kids or when we were younger that we put away or that we thought
6:36
would it make us successful whether it’s the Curiosity the play The Connection relationships
6:42
creativity that when we return to that we can actually create far more sustainable success but I’m and that
6:49
really helped me make that shift and it’s certainly been a journey but I’m just thinking about for someone
6:54
listening who and maybe they’re like they’re like me and they’re like I was in my early 20s and I was just
7:00
like you know the Gap felt so huge where do you where would you even
7:06
start if you feel like you’re if someone’s listening and they’re saying holy moly okay I know there’s a gap but
7:13
I don’t I don’t feel safe being myself with other people I don’t think I could be successful I don’t like parts of
7:18
myself where would we even start with that yeah so a couple of interesting things there um
7:25
and really what you touched on is fear and and fear is something that held me
7:31
back for a long period of time within my own career it actually held me back from telling this story I have been sitting
7:38
on inner sales child uh inside of me for 15 almost 20 years because I was scared
7:46
and what was I scared of I was scared of judgment I was scared of rejection I was scared of failure um I actually came
7:53
across this quote I just wanted to to read quickly um watching uh movies uh a
7:59
week or so ago and it’s a movie After Earth with Will Smith and it talks about fear and I think this really kind of
8:05
hits you know right on the head you know what fear is so he says fear is not real
8:10
the only place that fear can exist is in our thoughts of the future it is a product of our imagination causing us to
8:17
fear things that do not at present and may not ever exist that is near Insanity
8:23
now do not misunderstand me danger is very real but fear is a choice o that
8:29
really kind of hit home with me because I I recognized I was worrying so much about something that hadn’t even
8:35
happened yet I was playing all these scripts you know from you know people
8:40
are going to hate this they’re going to judge me they’re going to think that I’m a failure this message isn’t going to
8:46
resonate and there was so much of me in this book so much of me my family my thoughts my my own fears that I happily
8:53
shared I didn’t want to be judged but what I came to realize you know as a
8:59
couple things one again fear isn’t real I can choose to succumb to this emotion
9:06
or I can power through it and actually help create you know the reality that I seek but the other thing I’ve noticed
9:13
since sharing all of this even through the process of creating as well as after the book came out people only judge when
9:20
they haven’t done what you are trying to do if if they’ve actually done the work
9:26
and if they’ve actually gone through the same thing they’re not going judge you for it they’re going to empathize with you they’re going to support you they’re
9:32
going to inspire you they’re going to validate yes me too I feel this let’s let’s you know work together on this let
9:39
me see how I can help you maybe we can help each other you know through this process so don’t run away from that fear
9:46
recognize that there are more people that are in the same boat you know than you may realize it’s kind of like uh
9:53
when we were in elementary school and you would always have a question everyone always had a question question
9:59
but you were scared to ask the question and you were so happy when someone else asked the question because you had that
10:05
same question you just didn’t want to raise your hand and ask it and be viewed as oh well he doesn’t know but it it’s
10:11
very much the same thing go out and try it go out and you know speak a lot of the stuff into existence show up as
10:19
yourself have the confidence to do that because by doing that not only are you stepping into the life you want you are
10:26
inspiring others whether you realize it or not to do the same wow yeah and I
10:33
think it it it speaks directly to authenticity as well because we lose our authenticity when our Focus gets
10:40
distorted and gets focused on what others going to think what are they going to say I love what you said about
10:45
the Judgment piece that people only judge when they haven’t done what you’re doing and often when they want to do
10:51
what you’re doing but they haven’t done it yet and I is it pree brown who talks about in the arena I think it was a
10:57
Teddy Roosevelt original quote but was talking about are the people in the arena with you cuz they’re never going
11:03
to be the ones who judge they’re going to be the ones who uplift and support and yeah anyone who judges is jealous
11:11
right they want to do what you’re doing and they’re they’re projecting that so I’m glad you you did that work to get
11:17
this out into the world right because you and I were talking in the pre-chat about just everything that’s happening for you maybe we’ll talk about that at
11:23
the end so if um if someone is listening and they’ve been sitting on writing
11:28
their book or getting their message out into the world they can maybe hear just even early on some of the doors that are
11:34
opening up for you now that you’ve launched this work because it’s powerful but I want to ask I want to I want to go
11:40
a little deeper first you mentioned this earlier and I think this is a a really
11:46
interesting dialogue to have so you talk about making the shift from making a
11:52
sale happen to creating an environment where a sale can happen so can you speak to that a little bit more and what do
11:58
you mean by that sure so you’ve touched on this a little bit you know already um you know in in
12:05
our interview today but something that you and I have actually spoken at length about in the past masculine energy
12:13
versus feminine energy um when you first mentioned it to me years ago I had no
12:19
clue what you’re talking about I’m thinking I’m a man I’m in sales I’m just going to go through and just do what I
12:25
do you know and what I’ve since you know come to realize is the importance of
12:32
being more empathetic being more open having a softer side if you will to to
12:38
sales you know buying or finding a way to connect with people at a more meaningful deeper level rather than
12:45
trying to construct a sale um the engineering mindset that I had and for
12:50
those uh who don’t know my story I actually started as an engineer in my career I was always good at science and
12:56
math and it was just natural to go into that it wasn’t until I had a VP of sales at a company I worked for that
13:02
recognized maybe I had a little something extra that he took a chance on me in a sales role that I started you
13:09
know down my sales Journey but early on I tried to take more of that rigid Force
13:16
sales process check all the boxes if you do this you will be successful in sales
13:21
approach not saying that that’s necessarily bad or wrong but you have to temper that with a more emotional
13:28
connection connection you know with your clients you have to be able to understand that when you talk to a
13:35
client especially in a B2B sales like I am in they have a business pain but they
13:40
also have a personal motivation for why they do what they do um maybe it’s to advance within their career maybe it’s
13:48
you know to to get you know that you know higher visibility and validation that they’ve always wanted maybe they
13:53
want to you know change and go in a different direction but you know what whatever it may be tapping into not just
13:59
the business motivation but the personal motivation can really help win them over as a champion and a long-standing client
14:06
so trying to temper how we do sales and understand that if you’re you know
14:13
female and are looking to you know improve your sales maybe you need to embrace a little bit more of the
14:19
masculine energy you know into your approach but if you’re you know a man looking to to go into sales what I have
14:25
found is creating that open environment of trust trust and understanding has
14:31
been you know far more beneficial and productive for me in sales than just
14:36
trying to go in knock a door open and make a sales happen yeah which is so
14:42
much of how I was raised early on in sales how I think a lot of us are especially if you come from a more
14:48
hardcore sales background and it’s so um it’s it’s all about the result which obviously we need to have a result right
14:55
we we need to have that um but to your point d what I I love about what you shared and I especially appreciate from
15:02
the perspective of a man speaking to integrating that masculine and feminine energy because even women when I mention
15:09
that a lot of times they’re like what are you talking about that was my response uh the first time I heard that
15:15
I thought it was strange and out there and I thought what does this have to do with my success um and for men too they
15:21
they often have that same response and what is so powerful is we all have both
15:27
types of energies in us right but m masculine is goal oriented it’s outcome
15:32
driven it’s the process it’s the result which is important and and then feminine is more about me masculine is the end
15:38
result feminine is about the process it’s about the journey it’s about the experience it’s relational um I think
15:44
our society has gotten completely wrapped up
15:50
in what’s the result and we we don’t even pay attention to the process that gets us there and I was I was moved when
15:58
our almost four-year-old now it’s just crazy he’s in monu and I was learning about the Monas training curriculum and
16:05
when a kid makes a piece of art in a lot of schooling or in I just even when I
16:11
was growing up like what’s the feedback that they get when they share it with someone else it’s like oh that’s
16:16
beautiful or oh that’s not that good it’s all about the result but the question that the teachers ask in
16:22
Monas is what was it like for you to make that how was the experience of
16:28
making it and it’s not about the result like the result will take care of itself so to
16:33
your point I was just thinking about that while you shared that concept of the creating the environment where the sale can happen it’s let’s let’s focus
16:41
on not just the result but also what’s the process like to get there and how
16:46
can we create the best possible process and experience along the way that will
16:52
if we focus on the right things create ultimately enough sales to you know for us to hit our goals and Beyond
17:00
so aside there yeah anything you would add to that yeah so I I I think that’s a perfect marriage between the masculine
17:07
and The Feminine because you can actually do all of that goal oriented metric based you know process creation
17:15
but you can actually do it alongside your client to make sure that their feelings their expectations are a part
17:21
of that and it creates this really great collaboration that I think strengthens a
17:26
relationship yeah absolutely I love do yeah coming alongside the client being the adviser definitely you know you
17:34
share I was laughing as I read this story and knowing you I thought oh yeah I bet he did this but it made me laugh
17:40
you share a story um about as a child taking the telephone apart which I’m thinking now if I saw one of kids taking
17:47
a you know obviously a different type of telephone but taking it apart I would say what is going on so anyway shout out
17:52
to your parents because they obviously supported you but you took it apart then you meticulously put put it back
17:59
together with fewer parts and that that I think inspired or helped introduce
18:04
some of the concepts of efficiency and I know that’s something that you’re big on I know that’s something that you coach
18:10
and consult clients on as well in your work and I think today obviously so many
18:15
distractions so many interruptions unneeded but sometimes feelingly needed
18:21
operational work and part of the sales process how do we how do we start to get
18:27
more efficient in our work and I know that could be a dayong seminar but maybe just one or two pointers that you can
18:33
share for someone who wants to become more efficient in their sales process sure so I think first and foremost it
18:40
starts with having a process you have to have something documented down you understand what steps you’re taking on a
18:46
regular basis once you have that recorded then you can do some work to
18:52
unpack how is this furthering the sales process is it pushing it Forward is it
18:58
effective or are you just spinning wheels are you wasting time and what I mean by that is there’s a lot of tried
19:05
andrue sales methodology out there and I’m not sitting here hating on process by any stretch but just because it
19:12
happens to live in a book or this is what you know so and so’s manager said this is what you need to do to be
19:18
successful in sales it may no longer serve you or it may work for other people but it just doesn’t resonate with
19:24
who you are in your particular approach so it’s important to take the time to look at what activities are you doing
19:31
what are you doing with regularity which ones are working once you figure out which ones are working so that would be
19:37
your Effectiveness then you can go one step further and start looking how are you doing those effective things are you
19:44
doing it in an efficient manner are there some steps that you can cut out maybe there are some different tools you
19:49
can Implement maybe there’s an opportunity to hire an assistant to Outsource some work um you know maybe
19:57
effective scheduling so you’re not traveling all over the place you know meeting with different clients you can
20:02
meet more within the central location so all different types of things that you can do to make the effective things more
20:08
efficient but it starts with understand the process understand which things are effective then you can really work in
20:14
the efficiency side of things I think far too often people immediately say I need to be more efficient and they start
20:21
on that side and that’s where they really get tripped up without starting to look first at
20:26
well what actually matters and moves the needle and then how do I become more efficient in those things yeah it’s the
20:32
it’s the 8020 rule right which is very eye openening if we do that and look and I did this a while back and I realized
20:39
there’s like three core things out of maybe 15 or 20 General types of things
20:45
that I do every day that have actually created most of the revenue for our company and so when you look at that and
20:51
everyone has the same scenario you just have to look at it but if you can look at that and hone in on those vital few
20:58
those one to three maybe core effective things you do and then and this is the
21:04
part I haven’t done yet or haven’t thought about intentionally which I’m excited to how do I make those core few
21:10
more efficient things start to get exciting and probably start to multiply right so
21:16
yeah yeah something else interesting and I know you’ve shared this multiple times since we’ve spoken but also on your your
21:24
social sales doesn’t have to be this long drawn out time consuming you know
21:29
24 by7 grind no you know we really can
21:34
you know reduce everything down to its core elements just a few simple things
21:40
that you need to do to be successful in sales and you know you can really focus on you know like you said that 8020 rule
21:47
just get really clear and tight on that process really drive the efficiency there and you’ll find you’ll open up so
21:54
many opportunities you know to to do other things just so much more time available maybe you reinvest that back
22:01
in your business to further grow it maybe you look at you know other elements of your life you know personal or professional that you want to invest
22:08
in as well so um definitely uh you know does not have to be you know that I’m
22:15
busy all the time I’m stressed out and I don’t know what to do next I don’t have time for this if you feel that you’re in
22:21
sales and you don’t have time to do anything else it’s a really good indication that you need to take a look
22:27
at your process and start to figure out which things are just wasting your time because there are a lot of time waste
22:33
when it comes to sales huge absolutely huge and and I think the other thing too
22:38
for someone to look at if they resonate with that is the whole busyness is a badge of honor thing to me it’s a it’s a
22:45
cover up for insecurity it’s a cover up for inadequacy raising my hand to someone who used to use it um it’s a
22:51
it’s let me be so busy so I feel like I’m in demand so I feel like I’m valued and um and really that’s it’s a great
22:58
opportunity for some inner work around that too and you talk about this in the book it’s about working smarter not
23:05
harder and um but that’s a shift we have to make in ourselves so um I want to ask
23:12
one final question before we tell people where they can get the book and how they can connect with you further you know
23:17
you mentioned pop a little bit earlier in the interview but I know he was such a big influence on your life and was my
23:24
guy he was your guy yeah I know and even when you and I were coaching together
23:29
like I know we talk about him a lot and his influence and his um energy in your life even now right so I think it’s
23:35
powerful what you’re doing to continue his legacy through this work but just giving you know honoring him uh through
23:42
this interview what would you say is the number one life lesson that you learned from pop that you’re grateful you
23:50
learned I’m going to give you two because I know this is a little bit more from a professional slant and I want to
23:56
make sure we touch on that because there there is one from from that but from a personal standpoint Family First that
24:04
that is the greatest lesson I learned from him he always made time for his family no matter how busy he was no
24:10
matter what he was doing everything he did from a professional stpoint it was always family focused he always knew no
24:18
matter what he was doing that was his why that that was the core to who he is that no matter how stressed he may have
24:25
gotten during a day uh no matter how busy he may have gotten no matter how far he could have been taken away from
24:30
his family just you know with meetings or business travel what have you he did everything for his family and with his
24:37
family and mine so that was a key foundational element of who he was at its core and that’s something that I
24:44
have certainly embraced and I try to live my life you know as such yeah the
24:50
other thing and I’ve touched on this already and it’s how you make someone
24:55
feel is more important than what you sell know why we like to think that our
25:00
product or our service is revolutionary or the most amazing thing ever at the end of the day it’s how how do you make
25:07
someone feel do you make them feel you know important validated understood you
25:13
know are you helping them you know at the end of the day you know are they you
25:18
know in a better place you know because of you and do they feel comfortable reaching out to you even if it’s hey I
25:25
don’t know if you can help me with this but I know you and I trust you can can you just give me your thoughts and
25:31
perspective that that type of dynamic you know seeing him embody that every
25:37
time he would go meet with a customer and I was lucky enough to be alongside him to see that that’s what I’ve tried
25:43
to tap into my entire sales career oh that’s powerful well I think his his
25:50
legacy right leaving some of those lessons behind along with a lot of others is um it’s very cool that others
25:57
will get to learn from him and take some of those lessons like you did getting to Shadow him actively just through reading
26:03
your book and you are now creating your own legacy with this work and with
26:09
impacting um a lot of lives with it so share let’s do this because I want you to share where people can connect with
26:15
you and how they can get the book I also would love if you could share for a minute because you’re doing some really cool coaching Consulting speaking and um
26:23
maybe even just share for I would love for anyone who’s sitting on writing their own book hasn’t launched it yet to
26:29
maybe hear how things have manifested quickly for you with this um as a result
26:34
of the book so if you don’t mind sharing that too I think that would be great for people to hear no happily and and thank
26:39
you for this opportunity so to connect with me uh the best ways currently our
26:45
Instagram uh at David Ray uh my LinkedIn as well that’s a great way to connect
26:52
with me as well as send me an email David bl- derby.com
26:58
the reason I say currently is I am in development of my website for blue Derby
27:04
Consulting and it’s an umbrella that I’m using to launch a number of different
27:09
Endeavors that have really all been inspired by and created by the launch of
27:15
inner sales child things such as sales training uh
27:21
speaking engagements um I had uh a group do a book club you know on inner sales
27:28
out and they invited me to come out and speak on that um I have been Drafting
27:33
and developing a new series of monthly newsletters to help not just sales reps but also sales managers increase
27:39
engagement with their sales teams you know by providing them a monthly theme with some key topics some rhetorical
27:46
questions to help Drive engagement as well as some links to some outside sources that I think May supplement a
27:52
lot of their sales meetings because what I found like a lot of salespeople these weekly sometimes
27:58
monthly sales meetings they’re really dry boring a lot of people don’t engage it’s oftentimes they’re being talked at
28:05
this is a great way for them to have a much more open collaborative discussion on topics that are Central to improving
28:13
different aspects of sales so I’m really happy about you know launching that as well um so be on the lookout for blue
28:21
dash derby.com I’m hoping to have that launched within the next few weeks and uh really look forward to getting that
28:28
out there to just evangelizing the message of authenticity and how tapping
28:34
back into our authentic selves our unique approach what makes us different
28:39
can really be the path forward you know to success you know within sales yeah
28:45
and for those who are interested in inner sales child as the book it is available now as ebook as well as
28:51
paperback on Amazon uh at the recommendation and gentle nudging of a
28:59
lot of friends and family I’m in the process of recording an audio version of
29:04
that as well talk about stepping out of your comfort zone good for you people
29:10
need it yeah they they really do need it and what I found is I’m very audiobook focused as well especially when I have
29:17
windshield time and at first I was thinking oh well I’ll just you know let some service read this no it it has to
29:25
be me this is my story no one’s going to tell like I would so um starting the
29:31
process of getting that done which the cool part is not just the work on the
29:37
blue Derby side I’m already uh planning out my next book so part of this whole
29:43
creative process it’s inspired me in so many different ways I see so many different opportunities which it’s
29:49
interesting you talk about how quickly things can manifest because as I told you I sat on telling this story for many
29:56
years out of fear when I finally got around to doing it doors and
30:01
opportunities just started opening up for me things that I never even dreamed about so what I would tell anyone if you
30:08
have a story to tell a picture to paint a song to sing a business to start what
30:13
whatever it may be even if you don’t know how to get from A to Z it doesn’t
30:18
matter just start it don’t wait for the right time don’t wait for someday someday never comes there’s no someday
30:24
on the calendar trust me I’ve I’ve looked for it just go ahead and start and just recognize that it’s going to
30:32
