Corey Frank and Chris Beall are taking cold-calling to places it's never been before. What happens when you combine the precision of a golf swing with the art of a sales conversation? Our guests Gerry Hill from ConnectAndSell and Josh Smith from CRO Connected decided to find out by creating what might be the world's first golf course cold-calling championship. Armed with ConnectAndSell's mobile app, headsets, and a film crew, these brave souls tackled both fairways and prospect objections simultaneously, creating what Chris Beall calls 'beautiful lunacy.' Whether you're a sales leader looking for innovative ways to engage your team or just someone who appreciates the hustle of trying something absurdly difficult, this episode showcases what happens when you take your craft seriously enough to have fun with it. Imagine the gentle rustling of golf course trees in the background, and join Corey and Chris for a conversation about breaking the mundane mold of B2B sales while navigating literal and metaphorical sand traps.

In today's spontaneous episode of Market Dominance Guys, Chris Beall ambushes (his words, not mine) an extraordinary cold-calling talent: Josh Bowyer, CEO and co-founder of Zint Technology. What unfolds is a masterclass in the art of cold-calling performance, authenticity, and the delicate dance between manufactured delivery and genuine belief. Josh shares how he's booked over 100 meetings in just 4.5 weeks using ConnectAndSell, but the real gold is in his insights about perfecting his cold call 'performance' over thousands of iterations while maintaining authentic curiosity. As he puts it, the key is simple: 'Just don't sound like a dick in the first 7 seconds.' From discussing the impact of AI on sales to exploring the critical balance between scripted performance and genuine belief, this conversation reveals why top performers like Josh can consistently convert cold calls into meetings. Chris and Josh dive deep into how the best cold callers combine theatrical precision with sincere conviction that they offer real value. The episode wraps up with a fascinating discussion about the future of sales in an AI world, including Josh's recent encounter with what he suspects was an AI bot trying to get his insurance renewal date.  Join Chris and Josh for this unplanned but insight-packed exploration of what makes cold calling work at the highest levels.

Today, we're diving into what can only be described as an AI cold-calling adventure gone slightly sideways - in the best possible way. Chris Beall, CEO of ConnectAndSell, recently attempted to create and test an AI-powered cold calling coach using ChatGPT. What makes this episode particularly entertaining is that Chris couldn't hear the AI's responses during his live demo, but somehow still managed to nail it. It's like watching a master jazz musician improvise without being able to hear the band - and somehow staying perfectly in tune. Here are a couple of links to the articles he makes reference to: https://connectandsell.com/five-sentences-will-change-life-part-1/ https://connectandsell.com/five-sentences-will-change-life-part-2/ If you want the rubrik, contact Chris Beall directly.

Today they welcome Helen Fanucci, author of "Love Your Team" and CEO/Co-Founder of Pipeline Power, for a candid look at why sales coaching fails - and how to fix it.

Through their discussion, the trio reveals practical solutions, including Helen's upcoming AI-powered coaching platform allowing sales managers to practice difficult conversations in a safe environment. From Branch 49's "finishing school for future CEOs" approach to why cultural transformation must precede digital transformation, this conversation challenges conventional wisdom about sales leadership. Whether you're a seasoned CSO or a newly minted sales manager, you'll gain fresh perspectives on building and nurturing high-performing sales teams through systematic coaching.
