There are times in life when giving up something can mean getting more back. We see this when it comes to building a sales team. You have to give up control and let other people and systems execute your new business sales.

On this episode of the Dynasty Leadership Podcast, Tony Biel of Criterion Business Development joins the show to discuss his business and the benefits of defining your A-list clients.

Tony brings 15+ years experience in building and turning around sales teams of various products and services. He’s also worked with 100’s of Entrepreneurs and CEOs to put processes and systems in place to support rapid growth, as well as counteract plateaued results.

The podcast covers topics such as:

  • Obtaining A-list clients
  • ‘Right-Fit’ strategy
  • CriterionBD’s 5 Step Process
  • Articulating your “gut feeling” decision making
  • 80/20 business breakdown

Tony has heard uncountable variations of the same general definition of “Our Target Market is…” which he’s found, consistently points salespeople in very vague directions. By putting personal business practices in a system, you free up yourself to take on new challenges and opportunities within your own company.
