Chuck Thokey built sales teams that generated $220 million in
revenue — and his first coaching client went from under $1 million
to a $6 million net profit before being acquired by private equity.
In this episode, Tommy sits down with the co-founder of Top Rep
Sales Training to break down exactly why most sales teams are either
your biggest asset or your most expensive liability — and why most
owners can't tell the difference.

Chuck covers the four buyer personality types (the Platinum Rule),
why best-better-good pricing closes 90% of customers at the middle
tier, how to give a price without flinching, and the daily Power
Hour training system that keeps reps sharp. He also unpacks the
uncomfortable truth: 80% of sales leaders are either struggling or
need to be replaced — not because they're bad people, but because
they were never trained for the role.

If your sales team isn't performing, this is the starting point.
