Grab a snack, your favorite beverage, kick back on the recliner and enjoy as Dale Dupree, Chris Watson and Scott Leese have a little church session on this episode of Selling Local.

Tune in and hear Chris Watson jam on his thoughts around the illness that most salespeople suffer from. And it all starts with the stories they tell themselves. Am I learning the right methods? Am I reading the best books? Have I 10x'd enough this week? All of this leads to impostor syndrome and disconnecting from you who truly are in the process. It is the sick cycle of a salespersons life. The one thing they miss during this process of searching for purpose and becoming better as a salesperson? They forgot to look inside. And they forgot to hire a sales coach or take a training class that holds them accountable to who they truly are. Tune in for this underground Sales Rebellion church session with Chris, right here on Selling Local!

We have Dale Dupree in the house running solo speaking on Sales Acumen. It's funny, have you ever heard a teaching around Sales Acumen and why it matters? Do you know what it is? Do you have it yourself? It's not just about the ability to make a quick decision, it's about making the right decision and giving the correct guidance to your buyer or prospect. This is not about manipulating or being some kind of badass that your prospect can't touch. It's about being the best salesperson you can possibly be. A servant leader who is not afraid to fail in the moment in the name of doing what is right for your buyer. Grab a drink, some snacks, headphones if you want to get intimate with this one - whatever floats your boat. And get ready to change the game with The Sales Rebellion right here on Selling Local.

Today on Selling Local, Chris Watson is sharing a theory with all of us. It is that the idea that as salespeople we thrive on very specific feedback. This is the idea of getting affirmation around what it is we are doing as salespeople battling through the trenches on a daily basis. Spotlight feedback, reward praise, personal praise, and transformative praise. Which one rewards you the most? Which one are you accepting publicly then rolling your eyes about privately? This episode is all about communication and how it can change the literal outcomes of your sales walk. Tune in, learn more, up your sales game and change the game along The Sales Rebellion...right here on Selling Local!

The Sales Rebellion has a big opinion on coaching and development and here on Selling Local, we wanted to give it a proper voice! Chris Watson takes on the subject of what the "norm" is regarding a relationship between a rep and their manager/VP/boss - the fear or nervousness that surrounds the relationship, etc.. Chris discusses the next iteration of what sales needs to take as it evolves into the next generation and how to develop a partnership between leadership and those who serve the sales department as boots on the ground. Tune in and get ready to dive deep, as we always do, right here on the Selling Local Podcast.

We are hitting this one right in the face! Chris Watson is bringing the Rebellion's truth around the subject of authenticity in sales and why it is so hard for reps to tap into who they. Chris talks about the doubt that surrounds most people in regards to this subject and how to overcome the objections that we tell ourselves or that we are perceiving others to be telling about us. In sales, it is extremely important to wear who you are on your sleeve. Being vulnerable is not a play, or a weapon, it is am altruistic approach to communicating who you are to others in order to find a common ground of acceptance. Let's get deep, y'all! Grab you a fizzy water and turn this one way up.

Get ready to go way too deep about sales, about life, about your calling. The Sales Rebellion stands for many things. One of the most important is that we exist to support the defeated, the outcasts, the misfits of sales. A bigger thought is that The Rebellion exists to support those who have felt defeated during their sales walk. We are asking you to Rise Up and stand alongside us as your authentic-self in order to proclaim a new victory over those who have sought to tear you down, told you to conform, or controlled you during your sales existence.

Let's go, Rebels!

What story are you telling yourself? What obstacles are you facing? Are you choosing legacy?
