Work the WHOLE Show: Building Relationships, Reputation, and Results That Last with Randy Chaffee Trade shows are about much more than showing up, handing out business cards, and collecting leads. The real value comes from the relationships you build, the reputation you establish, and what you do long after the event ends. Today on Your Partner In Success Radio, I welcome Randy L. Chaffee, #1 Amazon bestselling author of Asphalt and Algorithms and the newly released The Closers, Part 7: Work the WHOLE Show! Randy is the owner of Source One Marketing, a trusted voice in the building industry, and a strong advocate for relationship-driven sales, visibility, and personal branding. As #HybridRoadWarriorRandy, he knows that success comes from being consistent, authentic, and engaging. We'll talk about why trade shows are relationship accelerators, how your reputation arrives before you do, the lost art of follow-up, and why working the whole show means investing in relationships that continue to deliver long after everyone has gone home.

The Nickel in My Pocket: How Do You Rebuild When You've Lost Almost Everything? What do you do when the life you've worked so hard to build suddenly looks nothing like you expected? When the money is gone, the plans have fallen apart, and you're left wondering what comes next? On this episode of The Closers Inner Circle Podcast, Ben Gay III and Denise Griffitts explore the realities of starting over, rebuilding confidence, and finding a way forward when circumstances leave you with very little to work with. From facing hard truths about the past to recognizing the value of experience, relationships, and personal integrity, this conversation looks at what it takes to get back on your feet and begin again. Because sometimes, the most important question isn't what you've lost. It's what you're willing to do next. Whether you're an entrepreneur facing a setback, a salesperson trying to regain your footing, or someone navigating an unexpected life change, this episode offers a reminder that your circumstances may change, but your next decision is still yours to make. SPONSORED BY: Today's episode is sponsored by Randy Chaffee, author of the #1 Amazon Best Seller Asphalt and Algorithms and The Closers, Part 7: Work the WHOLE Show! The Key to Building Relationships, Reputation, and Results That Last Beyond the Trade Show. Randy reminds us that trade shows are about more than showing up and exchanging business cards.

There's a moment in every sale — every negotiation, every deal — when you can feel it. You think: I've got this. And sometimes, that feeling is the most dangerous thing in the room. Ben Gay III has been in sales long enough to watch people win deals they hadn't closed yet — and lose them because of it. He's seen it happen to rookies. He's seen it happen to veterans who should have known better. And somewhere along the way, he learned a rule he has never forgotten. Never celebrate a victory you haven't won yet. Today, we're going to find out where that rule came from. Be sure to get to Ronzone Books on eBay to order your copies of The Closers (AKA as The Sales Bibles) and follow along with us each week. The books arrived with expedited shipping, and are signed and dated by Ben. SPONSORED BY: Today's episode is brought to you by Your Partner In Success Radio, and yes, that's my other show.

What do you learn when you suddenly get access to people who are operating at a level you've never seen before? Ben Gay III is a veteran sales trainer, author, and entrepreneur who became one of the most prominent figures in the early direct-selling industry. He started with Holiday Magic as a distributor and eventually rose to become president of Holiday Magic in the United States at age 27. What happens when someone you admire turns out to be someone you can no longer trust? In our latest conversation on The Closers Inner Circle Podcast, Ben Gay III shares a difficult chapter from his business career, including a staggering financial loss, a decision to stand by his principles, and lessons about trust, loyalty, and integrity. We also talk about the importance of taking responsibility for our own opportunities and learning to recognize when perseverance means changing direction rather than continuing down the same road. These aren't lessons learned from a textbook. They're lessons learned the hard way. Join Ben and me for a conversation about the experiences that shape us, the people who teach us, and what we learn when things don't go as planned.

He Fired His Lawyer, Won Sole Custody, and Rebuilt Two Companies — Mark Aylward on Divorce Recovery for High-Achieving Men Mark Aylward is a divorce coach for high-achieving men — founders, CEOs, and executives who are watching everything they built come apart at the same time. He works with men who've decided to leave, are fighting through divorce, or are rebuilding after it, and his credibility in this space comes from something most coaches simply can't claim: he filed for divorce in 2002, spent a decade in family court facing seven judges and six attorneys on the other side, fired his own attorney, represented himself, and won sole custody of all three of his kids in 2011.  During that same period, his ex contacted his clients and employees, destabilizing the business he had spent years building. He sold the company under duress, walked out with $90,000, paid off his credit cards, and was broke. Then he rebuilt — a second company, built and sold. Three kids who are doing well. A business. An identity. Confidence.  That story is the foundation of his coaching practice. He is a 35-year recruiting veteran with a BBA in Marketing from the University of Notre Dame, a business mentor and judge at Notre Dame's Gigot Center for Entrepreneurship, and a SCORE mentor. He is the creator of the R.E.A.L. Framework and the author of the free R.E.A.L. Assessment at therealassessment.com.

Think you need to follow all the “rules” of podcasting? Think again. My guest Matt Mawhinney, founder of PodAssist, has been behind the scenes of podcast production since 2015 and has worked on more than 8,500 podcast episodes. So when Matt says, “There really are no rules,” he has some experience to back that up. In our conversation, we talk about what actually matters when you're building a podcast, why podcasters get caught up in things that don't matter, the danger of spending thousands before you even know what your show is supposed to accomplish, and why having the right support behind the scenes can make all the difference. Matt also talks about his own Podcast Permission Slip and why you don't have to be a performer to have something worth saying. This is a conversation about podcasting without the pressure to do it someone else's way. If you're thinking about starting a podcast, already have one, or you're simply wondering whether you've made podcasting more complicated than it needs to be, you're going to want to hear this one. Connect with Matt Mawhinney: Website | LinkedIn | Podcast Permission Slip Sponsored By: Have you ever had the better facts, the better data, and even the better price, and still lost the deal? Why does that happen? Paul Larche has spent more than 50 years in radio and advertising exploring exactly that question.

In his book, The Divided Brain, Paul brings those lessons together in a practical look at how our fast, emotional Old Brain and slower, reasoning New Brain work together to shape the decisions we make.

What can business leaders learn from actors, directors, and the theater? Quite a bit as it turns out. In this episode, Carl Walsh shares how his twenty years in theater and nearly three decades in the corporate world shaped the way he thinks about leadership, communication, creativity, and decision-making. We talk about why different perspectives can lead to better decisions, how organizations can create room for creativity, what causes unnecessary friction in communication, and why ethical leadership still matters in the everyday choices businesses make. Carl also shares what the business world can learn from the theater and why understanding human behavior is at the heart of building teams and organizations that actually work.

The Stories Behind the Man: What Life Taught Ben Gay III We've spent a lot of time on The Closers Inner Circle Podcast talking about selling, closing, decision-makers, and the lessons inside The Closers books. But who is the man behind all of those lessons? In this episode of the Closers Inner Circle Podcast, Denise Griffitts sits down with Ben Gay III for a more personal conversation about the experiences that shaped his life, his thinking, and the way he sees people. Ben shares stories from his childhood and family, lessons he learned from his father, experiences that changed his perspective, friendships formed during his time in prison, the people and animals who have mattered to him, and some of the experiences behind the philosophy he has taught for decades. This isn't a sales lesson. It's a conversation about the stories behind the lessons. Because before Ben Gay III became the author of The Closers, a mentor to countless salespeople, and the final mentee of Napoleon Hill, he was simply a man having experiences, making mistakes, learning hard lessons, and collecting stories along the way. And some of those stories explain Ben better than any biography ever could. You can find the Closers Books on eBay at Ronzone Books.  SPONSORED BY: Today's episode is sponsored by The Rehearsal Studio. You know how sometimes you have a conversation coming up that really matters, and you find yourself thinking, Okay, what am I actually going to say? Maybe it's a podcast interview. Maybe it's a sales call. Maybe it's a difficult leadership conversation. Most people don't rehearse those conversations. They just show up and hope they go well. That's exactly why we created The Rehearsal Studio app. It gives you a place to practice the conversation before you're sitting across from the real person. You talk to an AI counterpart, have an actual spoken conversation, and then you can watch yourself back and see what worked, what didn't, and what you need to practice. And our Sales Room module is inspired by the teaching and sales principles of Ben Gay III and his legendary The Closers books, giving you a way to practice those sales conversations before you're in the real one. The conversations that count deserve a rehearsal.

I am Denise Griffitts and this is Your Partner In Success Radio. What does it really mean to build a successful small business? Is it simply about making more money? Growing bigger? Working harder? Or is there another way to look at success? Today we're talking about Profit, Impact, and Enjoyment, and how those three things can work together to create a business that actually works for the person who built it. My guest today is Andy Clark, a business advisor, author, and the creator of The Whole PIE System™, a practical framework designed to help small business owners get out of the weeds and lead their businesses with greater clarity. Andy has a background in business law and more than two decades of experience working with entrepreneurs across North America. His new book is Getting the Whole PIE: A Step-by-Step Guide to More Profit, More Impact, and More Enjoyment in Your Small Business.

Finding the Real Decision-Maker — It’s Not Always Who They Say It Is One of the most expensive mistakes a salesperson can make is assuming that the person sitting across the table is the person who can actually say yes. Sometimes they are. Sometimes they aren't. And sometimes they have influence, but not authority. The real skill is learning how to identify who actually makes the decision, who influences it, who controls the money, and who can stop it from happening.
