Leading Your Best Life with Leigh Farnell

Hi folks, Leigh Farnell here. Now, this is a fantastic Leading Your Best Life podcast. What I've done is, I've gone back into the archives and I wanted to share with you an interview I did with my father-in-law, the great Bill Fitzpatrick, a number of years ago just before he died. Bill was an absolute legend in direct sales. Talk about sell, serve, and prosper. Bill was a master of sales, a master of rapport, and it's an interview that I wanted to share with you even though it is going back in the archives. When you are in the presence of a master, you want to share what they can teach you. So, have a listen to this. Have a laugh and make notes. You might want to listen to this again, I can tell you.

Podcast Description In this episode we explore a powerful sales discovery technique that instantly transforms the quality of your sales conversations. Instead of talking about features, price, or generic goals, elite sales professionals help prospects define what success actually looks like in numbers. Using three simple but powerful questions: • What would a Good result look like? • What would a Great result look like? • What would an Excellent or mind-blowing result look like? This approach future-paces the prospect onto the "dance floor" of possibility and allows you to anchor your proposal around real outcomes, real numbers, and real ROI. You'll learn how this framework fits inside a structured POMVIC Needs Discovery process, how to use it to calculate ROI or ROAS, and how it reframes the closing conversation from: "Do you want to buy?" to "Which result do you want to achieve — Good, Great, or Excellent?" If you want to stop selling price and start selling impact, outcomes, and transformation, this episode will give you a simple tool you can use in your very next sales conversation.

Podcast Description Most businesses think they have a lead generation problem. They don't. They have a lead quality problem. In this episode, we unpack why chasing more leads is often the fastest way to burn out your team, dilute your positioning, and destroy your margins — and why the most successful agencies and professional service firms do the opposite. You'll learn how to build a Lead Filter & Lead-Loading System that: Protects your time and energy Improves conversion rates by only engaging the right prospects Positions you as scarce, premium, and highly in demand This is not about getting more enquiries. It's about qualifying, prioritising, and selecting the clients you actually want to work with. If you're tired of tyre-kickers, price shoppers, and endless "maybe" conversations, this episode will change how you think about leads forever.

PODCAST DESCRIPTION Robert Kiyosaki once taught me that 'your mission and passion in life is determined by the principle of 'doing what you love to alleviate what you hate.' In my case I love helping people, but in particular I hate seeing good people, sales people, professionals, being thrown to the wolves, with little or no training, skills, or tools, expected to sell, bring in revenue, feed the rest of the tribe. I particularly get annoyed when experiences sales managers or Directors just expect someone to be able to sell on the basis that 'if you can talk, you can sell..' My whole career for the past 25 years has been working with teams and sales professoionals to enable, empower, coach, mentor, and equip them to achieve their sales goals. Not to throw them to the wolves and expect them to come back with bucket loads of gold, jewells and signed contracts. Too many good people are struggling in sales—and it's not because they lack effort, intelligence, or integrity. It's because they've been sent out to hunt revenue with blunt spears and no training… then judged on the outcome. In this episode, Leigh Farnell unpacks why sales is not about talent or personality—but science, structure, and skill—and why accepting average performance is quietly destroying confidence, margins, and belief. You'll discover: Why a common sales language eliminates confusion, emotion, and guesswork How the science of influence removes the need for pressure, pushing, and "selling" The power of better questions to shorten sales cycles and create clarity Why objections should be handled before they appear—not at the end Why average performance isn't neutral—it's expensive, and how raising standards lifts everyone This episode is for salespeople, entrepreneurs, and leaders who care about people and performance—and who believe good people deserve better tools. No more blunt spears. No more innocent salespeople. Average ends here.

🎧 Podcast Description In this episode, we dive deep into one of the most transformative—and misunderstood—principles in human and team performance: perturbation. Drawing on ideas shared by Robert Kiyosaki, Marshall Thurber, and the Money & You lineage, we explore how heat, pressure, disruption, and challenge act as essential catalysts for evolution and breakthrough results. You'll discover: Why comfort kills progress How pressure forces the brain and behaviour to reorganise at a higher level Why teams stagnate without tension, stretch, and positive disruption The difference between destructive chaos and productive perturbation How leaders can intentionally introduce the right kind of "heat" to unlock innovation, accountability, and growth How to use perturbation to build stronger habits, resilience, and capability How to turn emotional and organisational turbulence into your biggest breakthroughs If you're a leader, salesperson, athlete, entrepreneur, or anyone committed to personal mastery, this episode gives you a roadmap for using life's challenges—and your own designed challenges—to accelerate growth. Because the truth is simple: No heat, no growth. No pressure, no change. Perturbation is the spark of transformation.

PODCAST DESCRIPTION In this episode, we explore the privilege, responsibility, and transformational power of leadership. Drawing from Jack Welch's iconic principle that leaders exist to grow others, we dig into what it really means to set the tone, lift people up, and create a culture where teams can thrive. You'll hear a brand-new leadership song capturing the heart of modern leadership: using your words as tools, your emotions as instruments, and your presence as a force for clarity, calm, and inspiration. We dive into the essential question every leader must answer: "What type of leader do you choose to be?" Whether you lead a team, a business, a project, or a community, this episode will challenge you to rise above management and step fully into influence. The best leaders aren't loud — they're aligned, intentional, and quietly powerful. By the end, you'll understand why the greatest leaders are often the ones people barely notice… until they see the extraordinary results.
