Using LinkedIn For Sales

dr_speedselling

Recently I was interviewed by John Paul Mendocha, a.k.a. Dr. Speedselling for his Winners Circle. This interview was done exclusively for his Winner’s Circle members (his premium coaching program) but he was kind enough to let me share it with you. The interview is focused on how to sell more using LinkedIn.

In case you don’t know John, here are some interesting tidbits about him. I’ve known John for a few years through Perry Marshall and I’ve learned a ton about selling from him. As you’ll discover in the interview, John is very intense and cuts to the chase. He’s a no non-sense guy that gets incredible results.

John Paul Mendocha, a.k.a. Dr. SpeedSelling™ always wears two watches. Why? Because he knows time is the most cherished and irreplaceable element in anyone’s life. As a serial entrepreneur with now 39 years of experience, consulting for 30 years, he at times leads several lives at once. To most, this level of activity and pace would be daunting, but John loves the action.

John is an intense speaker, delivering actionable, knowledgeable insights for business owners, professionals and entrepreneurs with rapid-fire, humorous delivery.  As a “turn around consultant” he has faced head on, the most difficult challenges in business, and is able to spot problems and provide solutions for their successful resolution.

As a turn-around expert and professional speaker, John’s expertise covers many areas. His business structuring insights teach you how to overcome obstacles with actionable steps, set up or debug your sales process, identify and handle staffing issues or delivery problems. He can ferret out reasons for declining sales profits within minutes of hearing your business issues.

A four-year stint as a professional gambler taught John that in business as well as in life, math, odds and probability are on one side. On the other is human psychology, the emotional drivers that determine what motivates us to react or take action. These lessons have led to traveling the world, coaching clients in dozens of industries and helping rack up profits that most only dream of. As a direct sales representative he has been number one in several companies, helping one land at #18 on the INC 500 list, which is no small feat.

Never one to rest on his laurels, he pushes to use the best of leading-edge innovative techniques without forgetting the power of foundational knowledge.
