STEALING SERVICENOW: Two Marketing Secrets You Can Implement Today

Your sales team is getting cooked right now.

Buyers? Ghosting.
Deals? Stalling.
Economy? A dumpster fire.

Meanwhile, some CEO you've never heard of just closed another "impossible" deal.

What gives?

I just talked to Rob Fencster (61, former Army officer, zero BS tolerance) and he dropped this:

"A warrior doesn't fight everyone in front of them. A warrior protects those behind them."

Translation: Stop whining about the economy and start controlling what you CAN control.

Can't control the Middle East 

Can't control recession fears 

Can control your attitude 

Can control your message 

Can control showing up like you KNOW you can change lives 


Your competitors are waiting for "the right time."

Your buyers are waiting for "certainty."

Warriors? They just take their stand.

Rob's old Army commander had one rule: "Leaders are readers."

If you couldn't tell him what you were reading, you got filed.

So... what are YOU reading?

Or are you just hoping things get better?

Taking big strategic decisions alone?

I prefer having a sparring partner.

Someone to challenge the idea.

Come up with better angles.

Like we do every monday.

Right now we are discussing:
1) Repeatable sales
2) Recurring sales
3) Passive income

And it's not just mentoring.

Otis Elevator Co. is better than Bonds right now. 

The inflection in free cash flow generation provides the catalyst, while the resilient Service business provides the safety. You're not paying for perfection—the market has already discounted the China headwinds and New Equipment softness. What you're getting is a chance to own a true compounder at a reasonable price just as the cash flow metrics begin to inflect upward.

Building A Recession Proof Portfolio LIVE

I’m a sales leader, coach, and builder of people.

For over 25 years, I’ve rolled up my sleeves to lead high-performing sales teams across North America, close multimillion-dollar deals, and mentor BDRs into confident closers. I don’t just hit targets, I build cultures rooted in trust, empathy, and results.

At GDI, we didn’t win big by chasing RFPs, we built real relationships. That’s how we landed seven-figure contracts. At CFIB, I helped small business owners grow across every sector through consultative sales and consistent follow-through. And most recently, I led sales training and enablement at a North American SaaS startup, building scalable onboarding systems, boosting conversions by 30%, and coaching remote reps with heart and data.

I’ve worked in startups, trained teams from scratch, and aligned sales with marketing to build real momentum. I’m Salesforce-savvy, strategy-driven, and obsessed with making people feel seen and supported while helping them outperform what they thought was possible.

What drives me? Helping good people do great things, whether it’s a young rep finding their voice or a business expanding because we asked the right questions.

Reconciliation isn’t a finish line. It’s a daily decision to walk differently, to listen deeply, to choose love where silence once preached.

No country is perfect, Canada included.

Imagine your child taken from you.
No goodbye. No call. No return.

And worse yet, imagine being that child.
No comfort. No family. No hope.

That was what happened for generations of Indigenous families. And the silence that followed has been deafening for far too long.

This year, a permanent home for truth is being built at the National Centre for Truth and Reconciliation. A home for the stories that were buried. A home for the children who never came back. Because there is no healing without ownership, and this is a step forward.

Some truths aren’t comfortable. They never were meant to be. The thing is, truth can’t live only in archives. It has to live in us. In how we parent. In what we teach. In the way we choose humanity over denial. In the way we refuse to repeat the past.

September 30th marks the 5th Annual National Day for Truth and Reconciliation.

This is not remembrance alone. This is a demand: every child matters, now and always.🧡

I went to see my brother the other day.
We planned a hike.

Out of nowhere, he started asking me questions.
Any issues with your knees or hips?
How are your ankles and back?
Are you good with long walks?
Uneven ground okay?
Uphill or downhill, a problem?

WHAT!!! 

We have hiked a million times together. Never mind the wild adventures we used to take on my banana-seat and his BMX bike back in the 80s.
I was surprised at first. The more I thought about it, the more I understood it. 
We’re getting older. 
 
 
That’s one of the reasons I started #TheHealthHaven. Not to live forever.
Not to chase some perfect number. But to feel alive today.

To move, eat, play, and meet the world in the best shape we can, right now.
Tomorrow matters too, sure.
But today is the only day we can touch.

People say they would die for their kids.
How about we live for them?
Choose to live.
Choose you.
Choose a little better than yesterday.

If you want down-to-earth health and wellness, you can actually use, follow my The Health Haven newsletter.

 If you already do, thank you. I see you. I value you. I appreciate you.
 Let’s keep showing up as our best, one choice at a time.

I got a message the other day asking if I’d been kidnapped.
A few others were ready to send out the troops.
LinkedIn family, you are something else!!! Thanks for checking in. 

And yes, I’ve been quiet.
So today feels like a good day to drop in with a thought.

A colleague told me he goes to the same bar every night after work.
Same stool, same crew, same story.
He said it so casually, “I don’t have a wife. No kids. No responsibilities. If I went home, I wouldn’t fall asleep until two or three anyway… so why not?”

And I get it. I really do.
There’s no judgment here. Just a different angle. 
Something I wish we talked about more honestly.

Every yes has a shadow.
Say yes to the bar, and you quietly say no to everything else.
No to the gym.
No to a book.
No to getting your life in order.
No to becoming someone you’d actually want to wake up as.

This isn’t just about a bar.
This is about the quiet math of our choices.
Every time you say yes to something, even something small and soft and familiar, you are saying no to something else.

And that “no” is usually to your future self.
It’s never dramatic in the moment.
One night feels harmless.
But anything compounded becomes a life.
We don’t become who we want to be.

We become whatever we repeatedly choose.
If nothing changes, nothing changes.

And if you want better, you have to choose better.
Not once.
But often enough that the scales finally tip your way.

Your YES is shaping you.
Your NO is shaping you too.

Choose like you’re building something with your own hands… because you are.

Are you following my newsletter, The Health Haven?
You should.
Every choice matters. Especially when it’s your health.

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about the power of good choices, in life, in work, even in what we put on our plate. Food, community, and wellbeing shape us more than we think.

#Wellbeing #BetterChoices #FoodMatters #HealthyLiving #TheHealthHaven #Leadership #CommunityStrength

I basically had two kinds of teachers.
The ones who needed the spotlight.
And the ones who gave it away.

The first made me feel small for not knowing the answer.

The second made me feel brilliant for asking the question.

One built control.
The other built confidence.

It’s the same in leadership.
People don’t grow in the glare of someone else’s light.

They grow when someone reflects back their own potential.

If your people aren’t thriving, it’s time to look in the mirror.

Leadership isn’t a spotlight. It’s a mirror, how you treat people, how you listen, how you lift others higher.

Alignment beats applause.

I had to put a cone on my dog’s head.
She had a rash on her belly, wouldn’t stop licking it, and I didn’t want it to get infected.

So I did what I had to do. I took precautions.
She was furious.

When I came home that day, she didn’t run to the door like she always does.
No tail wagging. No joy.
Just side-eye.
That same look a teenager gives when they think you’ve ruined their life.

There was no way to explain it. I wasn’t being mean. I was trying to keep her safe.

I did it to protect her.
Because I love her.
Dogs can’t understand that.

But we can.

So the next time you feel like someone’s wronged you, before you shut down, get defensive, or start writing the fake story in your head, ask some questions.

Stay curious. 
Find out what’s really going on.

Because maybe, just maybe,
they weren’t trying to hurt you.
They were trying to help you.

Food for thought. 🐾
