Selling is serving. Let us serve you with tips, stories and experts on topics you care about.

Buyer behavior has changed dramatically. Customers have more information available to them, and therefore are unreceptive, or closed, to sellers. And the harder we sell, the more closed customers become. Traditional selling approaches are working against sellers.

ASLAN helps sellers make that shift, from 'typical' selling to a different approach that makes us more influential because we embrace the truth that the customer's receptivity is more important than your value prop or message.

    EP. 194 Influencing The Unreceptive Customer

    EP. 194 Influencing The Unreceptive Customer

    Today Tom and Scott talk about how our world is more isolated than ever, people are more entrenched in their own opinions, making traditional sales tactics fall flat.  The harder you push, the more resistance you face. Listen as Tom helps you discover the 3 P's to convert even the most disinterested leads:


    Priority: It's not about you, it's about your customer. Learn how to put their needs first and build trust through genuine service.


    Pressure: Ditch the aggressive pitch! People crave freedom, so we'll show you how to frame your approach as solving problems, not making sales.


    Point of View: Stop talking and start listening! We'll teach you to uncover your prospect's true concerns and tailor your solutions to their unique perspective.

    EP. 189 What Every Relationship Needs... Especially In Sales

    EP. 189 What Every Relationship Needs... Especially In Sales

    In honor of Valentine's day we wanted to talk about a relational need we all have… to be valued. We pulled this episode from the vault just for today because ASLAN partner Marc Lamson does such a great job explaining why meeting this need matters, from your customers to your spouse. We have a great discussion about why valuing others and paying attention can not only land you more business but, leave a lasting impact on everyone in your world. At ASLAN, we have a three part serve model - care more, learn more, and do more. This model positions you to stand out not simply because of how well you sell, but because of how much you care.

Best Sales Strategy out there!

Our team did training with Aslan a little over a year ago and it was a perfect fit! This podcast is so great to keep the learning and conversations going amongst our team members. Highly recommend!

The best way to influence

Tab and Tom continuously put out great content around how to better serve your clients and more importantly do it in a way that is other centered/fulfilling . If you are sick of pushy sales tactics or any other traditional “sales” stereotypes, this is your podcast.

Great content focused on Sales Life Lessons

In full candor, I don’t enjoy podcasts. It is difficult to hold my attention for more than 10 minutes when listening to any podcast. However, there is something about Tom and Tab’s dynamic on this podcast that keeps me engaged the entirety of the show.

Their humor, actionable advice on sales and even little nuggets on how to be a better person in life - keep me coming back for more.

If you’re looking for a Podcast that’s informative and engaging, this IS IT.
