He’s an ethical salesperson. He’s a psychologist of business, and a risk taker. So Greg, my friend Come on, introduce yourself to the time to shine today podcast varsity squad, but first, what’s your favorite color? And why?

Unknown Speaker 3:23
I love it. Ah, mine is it’s usually a tie, but I’m going to go blue today. What do you see my other one is red. Because I’m a Leo. So yeah, so as you see I’ve got all my blue on him decked

Unknown Speaker 3:34
out ready to go You look fantastic Mason your color Wales. Fantastic.

Unknown Speaker 3:38
So got it, man. You know it.

Unknown Speaker 3:40
What’s the give us a little bit of your origin story in the kind of move up through maybe after Albion and kind of what got you into because I know that you were out working for another company. I believe you started with Sandler in 2012. If I’m not mistaken, correct? Yeah. Okay, you got it. So what’s what give us a little origins on that?

Unknown Speaker 3:57
Sure. So Gosh, so once I left Albion, I always have a running joke about this that I invested my myself and my parents money to go and bartend and wait tables for a year right out of school. So people are like, yeah, so I mean, to me that that kind of cut my teeth in customer service and sales and how to upsell and talk with people on a regular basis and understand what they’re looking for in life. And so I moved into the tech world, using my connections from Albion, worked in in as a system admin for years but wanted to get into sales. And so I had a friend again, from Albion zoo. I hope people are hearing these connections on how I use them from school to move into the outdoor advertising space or what a lot of people will call billboards. And so I worked on the real estate side for a number of years and it was a sales job but not outside sales as we know it. And in what in 2008 you know, I started talking about moving into deposition and January 2009, right around that, you know, bubble bursting. In the Academy, I started in that sales position. And what I found was, as much as I wanted to be successful, and as much as I had been successful in all my positions prior to that, I knew I needed a coach. And so Jerry, he said, always on the radio, heard it for years. Talk to my wife, Christina about it, we went and, you know, interviewed on both sides. And it was similarly said the rest is history, because what I did was spend two and a half years there, as you know, as a client, and in 2012, he started, Jerry started looking for some people to fill some positions. And I approached him about it and said, Hey, Jerry, what about me and Jerry Weinberg fashion he responded with, well, what about you coin, and we talked for probably a good four to six months, and I, you know, started on the team, it’ll be my ninth year, this year. But I like to say it this way. For some of those who are, you know, getting older, like ourselves, we may remember the Peace Corps commercial, which talked about, it’s, it’s the toughest job you’ll ever love. And I truly believe that that’s what what I do. Business owners do not want to change. They’ve done it for years. And they’ve done it in a way that I like to say they’ve been successful, in spite of themselves, surely, maybe haven’t looked at those other options out there, they haven’t looked at there really looked at their team, they’ve just looked at the revenue, and haven’t really gotten deep with some of their, their people. And what they find is that they’re actually leaving money on the table. They’re, they’re losing the opportunity to really build a long lasting culture. And typically, they’ve hired consultants before. And that’s why we go in, and we’re able to have those tough conversations with them. And I love everything I do every day is different. But here’s the thing that I tell people, even though we’re in consulting and retraining, it is a sales job. Sure, companies don’t come to us and and say, Hey, here’s my money, help me out. It’s it’s conversations. And at the end of the day, we’re interviewing each other. Right? And sometimes we’re not a fit, sometimes they’re not a fit. And then sometimes both sides are.

Unknown Speaker 7:21
So So what do you think that makes a great coach thing?

Unknown Speaker 7:27
Like that question. I’m one of them. And I think the biggest thing is to be able to be vulnerable. I thought about this, because I have had this question asked quite a few times. And vulnerability is a is a under utilized and in under looked at leadership quality. None of us are perfect, right? We’re humans. And we all have our own biases. Am I you know, Malcolm Gladwell, you can read any of his stuff. I just finished in a big baseball guy. And as you can see, behind me through, I read a Keith law’s latest, which was the inside game, which he uses a lot of baseball analogies and metaphors to explain some of our business biases and psychology biases. So point being is this, if you’re not vulnerable, people expect it people want that. They want to know that you’ve been there and that you can change. Right, right. And so we become kind of an example. Now, some people might say, Hey, you know what, Greg, I gotta be better than, you know, if I’m not better than what they’ve seen, you know, why should they hire you? Well, I get that. And I would agree with that statement. But the fact is, is that we’ve got to talk about what’s, as you said earlier, getting in their way. And so if we can’t comprehend some of those, those barriers and blockades, we might struggle as a coach. So I think to me vulnerability, as a leader, and as a coach is a huge attribute for success.

Unknown Speaker 8:57
Love it. And so when you’re bringing somebody into the Sandler Training one thing, which I’m not going to go into a little bit but Sandler really slows slow plays people’s what I would say, in a very nice way is like, they don’t just kind of shove it down your throat, they actually kind of question you. Cuz I remember like, when you’re thinking about coming on board, who you sure about it? I don’t want to get into that, because I want people to actually consult with you, you know, after this interview, but when you’re bringing somebody in, is there kind of a secret sauce that you guys might use to help them find their blind spots?

Unknown Speaker 9:29
I love it. So yeah, and I like I like the the terminology of slow playing. And it is, I think one thing that gets missed a lot of times is when companies look to hire us, they’re like, oh, they’re gonna try. This is a test where they’re trying to sell me on this. And the fact is, is that both sides are really doing an interview process, right? Are you the right fit for us? Are you going to be growing with us? Or do you want that? Or is status quo so strong that you you don’t want to do anything? And so what we do the first steps is we do have an interview. process. They’re interviewing us, we’re interviewing them. But if we take that next step, it’s uncovering a discovery or having a discovery process. And what I mean by that is, we’re gonna assess the team, we’re to assess the leaders and figure out all right, what are the strengths that they bring to the table? What are the gaps? I think a lot of times people will come to us and say, all right, throw us in the training, we’ll solve all the problems. Well, facts are is that most of us, I mean, you know, it you train, it’s one of the things I talked to people about, especially if we’re, if we’re lifting or we’re exercising, running, whatever. My joke is, you know, I went to the gym yesterday, haven’t worked out in years. And I put up 300 on the bench press. Of course, I didn’t. I have to work to

Unknown Speaker 10:43
get there. Right. Yeah.

Unknown Speaker 10:45
So many people want this instant gratification. And it’s not that we got discovered what, why people are there, if they’re the right people, as Jim Collins like this likes to say in Good to Great, are they in the right seats of the bus. And so we go in figuring out through, you know, the skills that they’ve got their staff, the structure and the strategy, what they already currently have, and where are the gaps. And then we get involved with leadership and management before we even put people in the training. So they’ve got to have that, you know, we kind of call it the onboarding. If both sides agree, we take the next step of discovery. And then we take that next step of, Hey, we really need to figure out the process the structure of strategy, so that there’s buy in all the way through an organization.

Unknown Speaker 11:34
Love it. And so during the discovery process, is there any good question, since you’re interviewing each other? Is there any good question that you wish they would ask you, but never do? Love that? When

Unknown Speaker 11:47
I did? I got I just got keep that in your quiver? I don’t think I’ve ever had that asked before. You know, and part of it is this? Um, I think the one that I asked the most that I’m curious about is, and I’ll spin it a little bit. So one of the things that most people don’t tell us is that they work with consultants before. And to me, that is an actual thing that I look for in clients, because most people haven’t. And there’s usually this, you know, this push and pull, those that have hired people before outside of their their organization, actually have a longer lasting involvement. We both do, I have a longer lasting involvement with what we do, and they do with us. So my thing is, I guess I would love to be asked, Hey, have you ever worked with a company that’s used consultants before? And that’s how I would answer it is, as a matter of fact, that’s what I look for. So if there’s if there’s any question that might be the one that I would love to see them, ask more.

Unknown Speaker 12:56
love it, I love it. So if I’m at a networking event, either virtually or I’m here in South Florida, we’re actually able to go and press flush a little bit messed up, of course, is worth 9752 of quarantine. But is there any good? Like if I’m shut my mouth and listening is how will I know if someone would be a good prospect contact connection or referral for Sandler Training? Jerry Weinberg and Associates?

Unknown Speaker 13:24
Love it. So one of the things that we listen to is it especially in my world, I like to play in four verticals and four avenues, typically, especially as you said, because I’m in the mitten, we still have a lot of manufacturing clients, those in the automobile industry, but those beyond that defense contracting, that sort of thing. So manufacturing is one, technologies and other insurance is a is a third business. I believe Sandler has more in the insurance, we’ve done more training with insurance and financial planners, I think, than any other training company. Okay, those four. All right, but I’m looking for a business owner, because that’s where the, the change starts to happen. It actually goes from the top down. And so they’re buying helps through the rest of their employees. And then I listened to certain, you know, you’ve probably heard this word at nauseum now. David Sandler talked about it back in the late 60s, early 70s. And that’s pain, right? Or the emotional reasons that people buy. So when I’m listening for is are you know, are they frustrated with their their current circumstances? All right. They’ve got a great sales team, because they typically hired them. And they’ve seen production throughout the years, but now, especially with with COVID being around and people not being able to press the flesh as much as they used to. They’re having to use this. Alright, this platform for a lot of salespeople is scary. It’s new. It’s uncomfortable. those particular leaders haven’t figured out how to take that knowledge and push it to their people. Right? That’s one. But number two and three are typically these, they’re concerned about the fact that they have a great business, they don’t know the valuation of it. And they haven’t figured out their succession plan because they don’t have a son or daughter to take it over, or they’ve gone that route, and they don’t think they’re the right fit. And then number three, they just don’t, you know, they’re worried that they just don’t see the future and where it’s going. Right. And so having those conversations and figuring out, all right, maybe you’re on the right path, maybe you don’t need me. Or maybe it’s that there are some certain tweaks that you need over time to be able to make your people better. And the one thing that I found Scott is this, most leaders don’t know how to actually coach their people. They don’t as leaders, they don’t know how to coach them up. And it’s no fault of their own. By home means we didn’t, you know, we didn’t grow up and say, I’m gonna be a coach, and this is all the things I’m gonna push to you. It’s how do we have those conversations? How do we have some of those difficult things that are happening? And talk about instead of just, you know, being emotional about?

Unknown Speaker 16:16
Got it? So I’ve got a question for you here. I get brought into companies now to to coach and just see what how your take is on this is that if a CEO, the owner of the company, a business owner, that’s frustrated with their circumstances, it really wants to have that legacy. And they see in their future and they need to tweak it, they know that they need help with it, because you said the leaders are not always that great motivators and whatnot. Like when you bring somebody in, I’m sorry, when they bring you in, they always have that second command. That is like, what the hell, I think everything is good. You know, how do you defuse that, to get them on board with your program?

Unknown Speaker 17:03
So I love this, because typically those people they fall into categories. One, no one’s ever brought them into the conversation before. Where do they think as you said, Everyone is is totally fine. What the heck is this guideline? So first of all, they need to be part of that meeting. There’s we have a rule in Sandler, that there is always, always always I can’t say that word enough, a hidden decision maker. So there’s an influencer, there’s a, there’s someone that has some say in it that typically isn’t in that meeting room. And even if that second commands there, there’s probably somebody else that we’re missing. So understand that whatever business you own, that when you’re meeting with someone in a sales environment, there’s going to be a hidden decision maker. The second thing is this. And it’s a it’s one of two questions. All right, and they’re very short. And so tonality is key. And they’re these. Why now? And what brought us here today. And part of understanding those two questions and what it is. Look at, Eddie, I want to understand this guy. There’s tons of consultants out there. Sure. All right, I’m not the only one. There’s plenty of good ones out there. Both of us like to think and we are good consultants on this on this podcast this morning. Sure, but there’s others. And so I know that they can take a call from me anytime, whether it’s via LinkedIn, phone, email, text, you name it, I got plenty of ways to communicate. But the fact is, what was it that we send to one another that even got us to this point, right? And that’s really what I’m after understanding that, and then, Alright, so what are those next steps? What have you tried before? You know, those are things that I want to know, because that’s thing I want to do is do something that’s already been done and potentially fail?

Unknown Speaker 18:58
Yes, sir. So Greg, let’s get in our DeLorean with Marty McFly. Back to the Future. Let’s go back to the 20 to 23 year old Greg coin. Okay, right. Yeah, what kind of knowledge nuggets? That’s what we call him here at time to shine today. What kind of knowledge nuggets? Are you dropping on Greg? To help him level off shorten his learning curve and blast through maybe just a little bit quicker?

Unknown Speaker 19:21
So the things I would say and this is a great question, by the way, I might be stealing this one. But that is that first of all, one would be to continue to use your network that network at from Albion college, that one for that you’re building in the professional realm, use it and continue to use it and keep in touch with those people and be able to give more. All right, I like to think I give a lot. I never think you can give enough. And so what can I give more of the other is, you know, I say this all the time now looking at the you know, the 45 year old grad compared to you know, the 23 year old grads And that is his self belief. And I like to think I’m a very self confident individual. Today, there were a lot of things that got in my way beforehand. That where I just the self confidence wasn’t there. Now, you wouldn’t see that on the outside. But internally, it was there.

Unknown Speaker 20:18
And we’re like a duck on a pond where it looks all good up on top and underneath there like this, right? Like, bingo.

Unknown Speaker 20:25
That’s a great one. It’s that the, you know, the glacier, always the ones that we use, you know, and, and that’s it. It’s, it’s understanding, believing in yourself, and that you are worthy of success, that you are worthy of where you’re going and what you want. I think there’s a lot of unworthiness that still pervades our society, we’re not worthy of success. We’re not worthy of what we have, and we’re not worthy of going where we want to go. So I think those two comments are the ones that I would tell Greg, the 23 year old Greg, and I think it would definitely help me. You know, even today, because I think I would still be here, I just think I might have, there might be some differences along the way.

Unknown Speaker 21:09
Sure. So how do you want your dash Remember, you know, that little line in between your incarnation date and your expiration date, you know, life and death date? How does Greg want his dash remember, brother?

Unknown Speaker 21:20
Yeah, I would say it this way gave it everything. everybody all the time.

Unknown Speaker 21:25
You gave everything

Unknown Speaker 21:27
I gave all of me. Everyone, all the time. And it kind of be exhausting? Absolutely. But it’s sure as heck a lot more fun.

Unknown Speaker 21:38
Yes, it is, like we see here at time to shine today we give give, give until it hurts so good. So what, what keeps Greg up at night?

Unknown Speaker 21:48
Um, you know, I think probably some of it has to do with the fact of, you know, things I can’t control. You know, our environments, you know, business professional, some of that stuff. Sure. I’m, I’m a control freak. It’s part of my personality. You know, where we’re headed? What we’re trying to do what my clients are doing? Am I doing enough for them? I think some of those things, you know, keep me up at night, I have a pretty strict, at least first half an hour of my day, which is that I do control, I wake up first thing I do is is journal. Second thing is I’m off to play colds and push ups. For a little bit those things get me started. So that I control with the rest of my time. I don’t always have control, I block it, I do my best. You talked about keeping myself up some of those things that I don’t necessarily have control.

Unknown Speaker 22:44
I feel Yeah, I’m the same way. And once I started developing that routine in the morning with my coach, it changed a lot of that. So I go right to bed, which I had a hard time before. So what is Greg’s definition of a life well lived?

Unknown Speaker 23:01
I think part of it is is this. And it might sound funny. But learn to plan more now. Is it and I’ll explain. Can we plan perfectly No, there is a combination. And I tell clients all the time, especially those who who love to get in the weeds, learn to plan and then execute. So there’s I guess there’s really two parts. Sure, there’s so many people that that plan, plan, plan and then take no action. And then I like to use my saying sometimes I will jump in the pool and not look to see if there’s water. So we got it, we got to have a combo. And the one thing I’ve learned over this time is when you build process into your game and then execute or take action on it, you can go much further. You talked about the travel, I’ve been to you know, I’ve been to Machu Picchu. I’ve been to you know, Australia, I’ve been to Brazil and Argentina could you know share the things. We love it now. I’ll let everyone know, my wife and I we do not have children. So that makes for it to be a little bit easier. But even if we did Sure, we would still take time out for one another. And there’s a piece of advice that somebody gave me years ago and there’s a woman that I met in college still stay in touch with. And the one thing that she said was, I’m always looking for I can find someone who can be a great dad. Right? Okay. And I’m not taking anything away from that. But I want someone who can be a great husband. And so I look at those relationships and what do they mean and my best friend is my wife. All right, I tell everybody that and that is where that those little nuggets come together. But I had the planet. Sure I the plan, you know that?

Unknown Speaker 24:45
Yeah. Awesome. Awesome. So Hey, everybody, we’re back with my really good friend Greg Coyne from Jerry Weinberg and associates with Sandler Training. And we’re going to move into our leveling up lightning round. And Greg, the way this works is You just give an answer. You got five seconds and daddy’s waiting over here with a belt. Just kidding. But yeah, five seconds, no explanations. We’re not going to explain anything in any of these. So just give me that answer. Can we agree to that?

Unknown Speaker 25:12
Done?

Unknown Speaker 25:12
Awesome, my friend. Let’s level up. Greg, what’s the best leveling up advice you’ve ever received?

Unknown Speaker 25:19
Um, I would say, Ah, geez. Um, yeah, that’s five seconds. It’s gonna be fast. Ah, yo, go with you gotta

Unknown Speaker 25:28
love it. Sure one of your personal habits that contributes to your success.

Unknown Speaker 25:33
journaling daily, first thing in the morning.

Unknown Speaker 25:36
So other than your website, and of course, time to shine today.com my shameless plug. What other websites do you go to, to level up?

Unknown Speaker 25:46
I go to Gary Vee. Quite a bit. I go to Ben gresso, which does a great job at LinkedIn. Love it.

Unknown Speaker 25:55
And if I’m in my doldrums, just not feeling it. You’re like, forgive read this book. What’s the book?

Unknown Speaker 26:03
Just the one I gave you earlier, which was the inside game by Keith law.

Unknown Speaker 26:07
Love it. What’s the most commonly used emoji when you text?

Unknown Speaker 26:11
Haha, winking,

Unknown Speaker 26:12
make it awesome. So if you could be one age physically, and Don’t lie to me now, physically for the rest of your life and keep the knowledge you have now and continue to absorb knowledge and wisdom? What age would that be physically?

Unknown Speaker 26:27
I’d say 28

Unknown Speaker 26:28
I would say 2032 love it. Quickly, who is that person of influence that really leveled you up?

Unknown Speaker 26:35
Um, I would say Jerry Weinberg. Love it.

Unknown Speaker 26:39
So what’s your favorite charity and or organization you’d like to give your time and or money to?

Unknown Speaker 26:42
Ah, Albion college?

Unknown Speaker 26:45
Good for you. Good for you. Last question. You can elaborate just a little bit on this. But what is the best decade of music? 6070s 80s or 90s?

Unknown Speaker 26:53
Oh, wow. Um, I would say 70s. Because you get a you get the rock and roll. merger it’s going and you got punk you got? You got block you got everything

Unknown Speaker 27:06
out of the hippies into the lake was a bit of a classic Carter. I love it. I love it. Yep. So Greg, how can we find your brother?

Unknown Speaker 27:12
Hey, sure. So best place to find me, you can go. Just go on LinkedIn. That’s usually one great place to find me. You know, Greg Coyne, you type it in the search, you’ll see me right away. Or you can go to Jerry weinberg.sandler.com got all of our information out there a crash class, do whatever. Those are probably the two best places to find me

Unknown Speaker 27:34
love it. And we’ll all of those will be in the show notes squad. So Greg, leave us with what quickly leave us with one last Knowledge Nugget you’d like us to take with us internalize and take action.

Unknown Speaker 27:44
I love it. So I would say this. Are you comfortable with the status quo? And if you are, is that a good thing?

Unknown Speaker 27:51
That is amazing. Come comfortable with status quo? And what was the end of that?

Unknown Speaker 27:57
Sure. And if you are, is that a good thing?

Unknown Speaker 28:01
Got it. I got squat, I got notes upon notes. And if you’re on watching on YouTube, I got just crazy amounts of notes with my really good friend, Greg Coyne, who is going to ask you if you’re successful in spite of yourself, but you know that something’s missing. You want to level up, let me make a warm introduction to my really good friend, Greg, you know, he will tell you that a coach is vulnerable. It’s an underlying underutilized leadership quality vulnerability. So a good coach will be vulnerable. You know, when you’re going into that interview process with a coach, remember, if you’re looking for a coach, it’s an interview that goes both ways. Okay, it’s a discovery process, it’s gotta be kind of a slow play, like we say, a time to shine today inch by inch, it’s a cinch by the yard, it’s hard. So you’re going to slow play to greatness while you level up. You know, if a business owner if you’re frustrated with circumstances, you really want to make a legacy you don’t know if you’re not passing it on to somebody, but you still want it to keep going after you’re gone. And you see a future and you need to tweak it and make it better. Let me make that introduction to gray for you. And, you know, if you are a coach, or you have a business, make sure that all pertinent decision makers are there. When you bring the coach in, there’s always that hidden decision maker. That’s what Greg told us. So we want to make sure that pertinent hidden decision maker is involved. Okay, so he was going to tell his younger self, and he’s going to tell you to network, don’t get out worked and don’t get on network and continue to use your network. We say get your asking gear, because a lot of times that network is going to have the answers for you. Especially if you stay in touch with him. He’s going to have you have self belief in yourself. And he’s going to give all of himself to everyone all the time. And he’s going to tell you to learn to plan, but not only plan but execute that plan as well. Okay. In Greg, it was an amazing time. You’re one of my good buddies and it was awesome to bring you on here. I know you level up your health you level up your wealth, you level up your marriage. Everything is just fantastic. Thank you so much for carving the time to come up leveling us up, brother.
