Jeb Blount Jr. sits down with Jack Frimston and Zac Thompson — co-founders of We Have a Meeting and co-authors of Sales is Therapy — for one of the most entertaining and honest conversations about what's gone wrong on LinkedIn. Jack and Zac have built their careers helping B2B companies fill their pipelines with qualified meetings by doing what most salespeople have forgotten how to do: pick up the phone and talk to people. In this episode, they react live to the cringiest LinkedIn sales posts they've ever seen, expose the red flags of the fake guru playbook, and share what authentic presence actually looks like in a world full of rented Lambos and borrowed credibility.

What if you are brand new to sales and have no idea whose advice to trust? Andrew Osborne asked Jeb Blount exactly that question, and Jeb called it one of the best he has ever heard on this show.
Sales advice is everywhere and a lot of it is flat-out wrong. Someone who was number one on their team for one year is not a sales guru. A technique that works for one person in one market in one season is not a universal truth. In this episode, Jeb walks through best practices for evaluating whether someone is worth learning from, including the questions to ask, the resume details to look for, and the phrases that should make you run in the other direction.
In This Episode:
How to tell the difference between real sales expertise and a flash in the pan
Why longevity and an active book of business are the clearest signals of credibility
The problem with "one way" sales thinking and why Jeb avoids it entirely
Why all sales is poetry and probability, and what that means for how you train
How to trust your instincts when advice sounds too easy or too good

In this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast, Jeb Blount breaks down the four principles of effective sales conversations: why emotions are contagious and set the tone before you say a word, why your stakeholders' stories hold the clues to their real pain, how questions give you control without dominating the room, and why listening builds the kind of trust that erodes emotional walls and reveals what actually closes deals. If you're talking more than you're asking, this one's for you.
