A quick update for everyone. Back in September, I took a new job as a Sales Manager for an awesome company and inherited a very talented sales team. A total of 10 experienced salespeople and three business development professionals. The journey has been nothing short of incredible. Fast forward until today. 3 of my experienced salespeople will be retiring this year. One of my business development team has accepted a job in sales leadership in another part of the company. I will be replacing over 100 years of sales experience this year. This is going to be a tall task. So you may ask how does this affect our community? Simple answer. I am focusing on B2B sales development everyday. So why wouldn't I do the same for our community? I understand not everyone in the community has a B2B sales position. What I will attempt to provide is very helpful everyday sales tips and tricks that will work for B2B, B2C, and online selling. Much of the content will be applicable to everyday circumstances, like how to build relationships, ask for orders, and negotiate with confidence. I started the community building on value-driven leadership, which I still love and adore. As the community evolves, I will continue to develop content on sales leadership and leadership. Values are a must have for me, so that won't go too far away. In creating the courses, I have found my Google membership to be extremely valuable. I'm using Google Gemini often, along with Slides, Forms, Docs, Sheets, Vids, and other Google apps. AI has been extremely helpful. But, I use my intellectual property. AI may be the car, but my IP is the engine. Thank you @Andre Uribe , @Tommy Gan , @Vic Rosenbalm , @Christopher Bauer for being my Skool "Mentors". I follow all of you and check in daily. I may not always engage, but I make sure I read your posts and content. Please let me know if I can be of service to anyone in the community.

@Vic Rosenbalm You should have received an email with your certificate of completion of the free pro vs. amateur course. Did you get it?

Hello Team, You may have noticed the name of this community has changed. We are evolving. To dominate in this economy, you cannot be stagnant. Welcome to the Coach Chris, Sales and Leaders community. To kick off this new era, I have just dropped a brand new micro-course in the Classroom tab: "How to be a Professional Salesperson." It is 100% FREE. Why? Because 99% of "professional" salespeople only have a slight idea of what selling actually is. They treat it like a hobby rather than a profession. They are Amateurs. This course is the foundation. It is "No Fluff." It is the prerequisite for everything else we do here. In this micro-course, we cover: Your Homework: 1. Go to the Classroom. 2. Watch Module 1. 3. Comment "I AM A PRO" on this post once you've started. Let's get to work. Coach Chris

I was working on creating a few videos, and I applied the new logo for the video intro and outro. I think it's super cool. Yes, I used AI. Google Gemini and Nano Banana for the animated logo.

The video text worked in this story.
