#CoffeeWithJames is back this Friday to bookend your week. I kinda like that rhythm. 

Were you ever a job hopper like me? 

Before a career, I had "jobs." 

If you feel me on that, you know exactly what I mean. In the restaurant world, I'd sometimes decide today was gonna be my last day and just leave. WILD! So young. So ignorant. 🤦🏻‍♂️

I was recently asked what best practice I attribute my success to most in a series by Liana Hakobyan where she asks her network simple questions to deliver to her own audience. SOLID GOLD! (Find the post in the comments)

Patience was what I came up with. Here's why that's my choice. 🎥 🔊

Host of the Sell Better Daily Sales Show 🎥

First of all, I think #Chatgpt's image generator did a great job on this image. Left out the gap in my front teeth, though. C'mon, yo! :-)

Before you ask, I got this shirt as a gift from my friends Lauren Bailey and Steve Sharr of Factor 8. It's one of my faves!

I'm amped for this Sell Better webinar coming up that's 100% centered on #objections

Leslie Venetz and Ronen R. Pessar join me LIVE, and we're covering some objections you're certain to hear in Q1 this year. We're also looking forward to seeing what objections YOU want help with. 

Come to the show. Bring your objections. Let the experts help you be more prepared for them when you get them. Doesn't matter which part of the sales funnel you're in. Prospecting, closing, sales engineers... WE ALL deal with objections constantly in the sales role. 

Let's give you the skills you need to be successful as they come your way.

Be there LIVE 👉 https://hubs.la/Q03YV9W50

Let’s talk about paying attention.

Not long ago I started a series called “Coffee With James” ☕️ Some of you that follow me have seen a few episodes in your feeds.

Right when that kicked off, Andrew Kissh 🦜 and Eric Gordon 🦜 of Parakeet 🦜 mailed me a branded coffee mug. 

Today, the branded coffee hit the 🚪📪

Here’s to the folks that send contextual mail, emails, DMs, and videos. 👏 

Parakeet out here paying attention. Are you? 

The way we get attention matters more than ever.

Sales is one of the most important life skills — and one of the least taught.

Whether you’re a founder, a seller, or a student preparing for the workforce, the ability to communicate value, ask better questions, and build trust determines outcomes.

I help organizations and educators teach modern, relationship-centric selling — without scripts, pressure, or manipulation.

What I focus on:

Licensing sales curriculum to high schools, trade schools, colleges, and workforce programs

Helping founders and operators build simple, human sales systems

Teaching sellers how to win by listening, not pitching

What makes my work different:

Built from real-world experience, not theory

Designed for today’s buyers (shorter attention, higher skepticism)

Focused on clarity, discovery, and long-term relationships

I’m the founder of SayLess Academy, creator of the Relationship-Centric™ Sales framework, and a long-time sales leader in the technology and B2B space.

Bold doesn’t mean loud.
Bold means deciding — and executing calmly.

📩 If you run a career program, lead a sales team, or build a business and want sales training that actually sticks, reach out.

I Quit! 
I quit but I’m not a quitter. Maybe it’s time for you too quit too. 

The #NewYear is a great time to evaluate and leave some things behind. 

Some of the biggest breakthroughs in my life didn’t come from “pushing through.”

They came after I quit. 

In 2017 I made a decision to quit. 

And that decision wrecked me for a season…
but it also made room for everything I’m building now.

Here’s the reframe:

✅ Never quit your pursuit of success.
✅ Never quit becoming a better version of yourself.
❌ But the vehicle? Sometimes it’s costing you more than it’s giving you.

I wrote a Substack post telling the full story — and I included 5 steps to evaluate when it’s time to quit (without quitting on yourself). https://lnkd.in/e7mkHUwW

If you’re in a season where you’re forcing something that used to “fit”…
or you’re loyal to a version of your life that’s already expired…

Go read it.

Then tell me in the comments: What “vehicle” have you outgrown… but haven’t admitted it yet?

👉 Subscribe + read on Substack for the full story + the 5-step evaluation.
And if this hits home, share it with someone who’s been carrying a weight it’s time to drop.
