But…but… People keep telling me cold calling is dead. No lie, people sign up for sales training and tell me they aren’t going to cold call. Ok. I’m not your sales manager. I’m not going to make you cold call. But are you against cold calls because maybe you’ve never been taught how to do it effectively? Would you feel differently about it if you stopped calling it cold calling and started referring to it as no-pressure prospecting calls? I have a Prospecting Mastery workshop coming up next month. We won’t only be discussing no-pressure prospecting calls. For more info, click here: https://lnkd.in/ePeqUZcZ Sandler by Sales Sellutions360 #coldcalling #prospecting #sales #salestraining

Ball up top 🏀 In partnership with Uptop, Avalanche is helping power the new Loyalty Program for the Cleveland Cavaliers! Upon sign up, a wallet tied to their profile is spun up to enable consumers to start collecting achievement badges that signify reward unlocks like game tickets, VIP experiences, merchandise, and memorabilia. Uptop leverages the airline loyalty model to provide teams a new upfront revenue stream, in this case, with “Cavs points”, while allowing them to collect better data on more-in depth touch points with their fans. This is the first to come from the Uptop team, who have major plans on Avalanche to disrupt the stagnant sports loyalty programs of today!

Egon Durban minted a fortune making big, risky bets on companies such as Dell Technologies and Skype. But nothing has tested his nerves like a team of bull-riding Texas cowboys. Durban is part of an elite group of billionaires transforming the iconic sport of the American Wild West. Some are longtime sports investors, looking for the next big pro league, such as NASCAR team owner Richard Childress and the Fisher family, owner of the Athletics Major League Baseball team. Others have serious Wall Street credentials. Avenue Capital Group bought a bull-riding team earlier this year, wagering that a big media deal would draw more deep pockets into the sport. In bull riding, teams have brought in former Navy SEALs to run training camps, built #data divisions to better match the animals and riders, and given riders access to nutritionists and cryotherapy. They are amping up sponsorships, merchandise #sales and media rights, and have a revenue-sharing agreement to spread the wealth across the league, similar to the National Football League (NFL). The #investment rush has been a boon for the league’s owner, the Professional Bull Riders, LLC. Its events aren’t dusty local rodeos. The team championship this year in Las Vegas kicked off with fire dancers, pyrotechnics and laser shows. But bull riding’s ascendance to mainstream popularity has stoked tension within the rodeo-sports community. Traditionalists lament the growing commercialization of a sport rooted in cowboy ideals of community, toughness and loyalty. 🔗 Read more from Chelsey Dulaney: https://lnkd.in/eUNZdfrg

OK...The Tacos are already taken but could MLB Team be key to an Austin-San Antonio mega region really taking off? With MLB Commissioner saying a likely 2 team expansion is in future... ESPN reporting that an Austin / San Antonio team might be a strong front runner for a team but did note the distance between was a little far. I think bigger problem is who is paying for a stadium? San Antonio's already looking for new Spurs downtown stadium so might be a hard sell to fund 2 mega project, and let's face it... Austin only has a soccer team because it only needed to kick in the toxic land without street frontage to build it on. Don't see Austin voters kicking in money for a stadium. What do you think... Does an ASA mega region have a shot at a MLB team locating between San Marcos and New Braunfels? #austin #tacos #linkedglenn #mlbexpansion #asatacos

This is a great article for anyone following the now defunct proposal to move the Capital One Arena to Alexandria, VA or the Tropicana field redevelopment in St Petersburg. I value what they did in Toronto to modernize the Rogers Centre and think about how visitors want to spend time and experience games. The idea of revitalizing an existing stadium over building new has so many benefits from the environment to preserving the local economy to saving money. Let’s take some lessons from these examples!

Life is about more than the daily grind—it’s about balancing personal and business goals, making memories, and chasing dreams. A bucket list helps you focus on what truly matters in all areas of life. On my NFL bucket list, I want to visit all 32 NFL team stadiums. I’ve visited 12 out of 32 stadiums so far. Can’t wait to check off the rest while growing my business at the same time! What’s on your list? #BucketListGoals #NFLStadiumTour #LiveMoreWorkLess #ChasingDreams #StadiumHopper #MakingMemories
