Business Insights Podcast

We did an episode called "We are going backwards" in Oct 25 2024 on the trend of people buying record players, vinyl records, AM/FM radios, boom boxes. There was and is a need for real tactile experiences vs. digital. NPR had an episode on Oct 26 2026 on the explosion of wired ear buds for music , moving away from wireless. People want the cords. Moving backwards again.  We see trends before the bigger marketplace picks it up. Here are the links for our Oct 2024 episode. https://leaseasalesrep.podbean.com/e/we-are-going-backwards/ NPRs Oct 26, 2026 episode on the move to retro things.

We are seeing a trend in many people that reveals we are getting tired of digital items. From images on social media, to PDF manuals to digital music and watching streaming movies. People are tired. Many are tired of zooms and want to see people and want to touch tangible items. Real experiences. Think of books, vinyl records and Polaroid cameras. Touching stuff . This applies to promo products for businesses as well..People want something that is present and not fleeting, like digital images that you can't remember.

Go into a sales conversation not caring if they close or not. If you believe that your product or service has value and you share that with the prospect and they don't buy. Move on. You will close more this way. It's counter intuitive. You don't care, then they want to buy your solution or product.

Strong leaders treat diverse voices and opinions as competitive advantages, not threats. Instead of forcing a consensus, they construct deliberate frameworks to extract unique insights from those who disagree, manage conflict, and steer the collective toward a single, unified path forward. Weak leaders isolate themselves with agreeable echo chambers; strong leaders anchor their success in navigating constructive friction.

We're seeing many posts on social media and on blog pages that are clearly AI creations.  AI spits out content in a certain format. Page breaks, indented paragraphs number sequences, links to articles etc.    AI will create weak minded and AI dependent people. Millions are being pulled into AI laziness to create content that should come out of your brain. Using it to better organize and add some additional info to your original creation is fine. We associate this with those who use GLP-1 drugs to lose weight and become dependent on it vs eating right and exercising. They could lose the weight, but went the easy way. Same applies to have AI think for you. Look into the future and see where it's taking you. Book a call with us below. https://calendly.com/sales-strategist

As you review 2025 and look forward to 2026, one thing to review is to look at what you enjoyed doing in 2025. What was that “thing” whether work related, hobby related, family related, that gave you joy. What made you happy, gave you peace, and did not feel like work?  Wouldn’t it be great to identify that “thing” that gave you passion that did not feel like a burden or chore? Identify it and do more of it in 2026. You mind, body and spirit will feel it and will thank you. If it was that great vacation, plan another. If it was going antiquing, plan another trip. If it was exercising, eating right and getting your health back, keep working on it. How about making that dish or dessert at home that you always wanted to make, and you did it. Do more of it. Take some time to enjoy the good things in life that de-stress you. Work and life’s pressure, most of the time, will be there. Every second the clock ticks, is time you can’t get back. Keep that in mind. Book a call with us below. https://calendly.com/sales-strategist
