Erica Conway liked thisErica Conway liked thisThis might be the most important career advice in sales. Because here's the truth: Your reputation travels faster than you do. Your name comes up more than you think. Decisions about your future happen without you. Every. Single. Day. Think about it... That promotion you're hoping for? Being discussed in rooms you're not in. That big account you want to work? Being decided by people you've never met. That leadership opportunity? Being influenced by what others say about you. The uncomfortable truth? Success in sales isn't just about crushing quota. It's about having advocates. People who say "Give them a shot" when others doubt. People who defend your approach when it's questioned. People who mention your wins when you're not around. Here's what ACTUALLY happens when you have real advocates: ↳ Opportunities find you before they're posted ↳ Your mistakes get context, not just criticism ↳ Your ideas get championed, not stolen ↳ Your growth gets fast-tracked, not delayed ↳ Your reputation becomes your strongest asset But here's the part most people miss: To have people fight for you... You need to fight for others first. That SDR grinding it out? Mention their progress in the team meeting. That peer who helped you close a deal? Make sure leadership knows. That manager who coached you? Tell their boss what it meant. Because advocacy isn't luck. It's reciprocity. The rep everyone wants on their team? They've been building others up for years. The manager everyone respects? They've been defending their people consistently. The leader everyone follows? They've been fighting battles for others quietly. Here's what fighting for others ACTUALLY looks like: When someone's not in the room: - Correct misconceptions about them - Highlight their strengths - Share their wins - Provide context for their challenges When opportunities arise: - Recommend them even if it doesn't benefit you - Connect them with the right people - Put their name forward - Open doors they can't open alone The magic of advocacy in sales? It compounds. Every person you genuinely support becomes part of your network. Every battle you fight for someone builds trust. Every time you elevate others, you elevate yourself. Not through manipulation. Through genuine support. So ask yourself: Who are you fighting for when they're not around? Whose potential are you highlighting? Whose success are you championing? Because the people who win biggest in sales aren't just the best closers. Be the person who fights for others. Watch how many start fighting for you. Your career will never be the same.

Erica Conway reacted on thisErica Conway reacted on thisSteve Glynn is doing a fireside chat at #SBOC26. Steve's spent 30 years sitting across from founders, executives, and students helping them figure out what's next. He built and sold Spreenkler and co-founded Milwaukee's first innovation district. He knows a lot of people, and more to the point he can tell you exactly how he got to know them. Three things I'm pulling out of him on stage. Why being the most connected person in the room is worth more than being the best in the room, and how you start becoming that person this week. Why your next 10 clients are already sitting in your network and the simple way to get them to raise their hand. And the partnership mistake owners make that kills momentum before it even starts. If you've been out there running for office and not getting any gigs, this is your session. #SBOC26 Sponsored by Athena Legal Solutions and Money Masters - September 15-17, 2026 - Brookfield, WI

These young gents were the highlight. 😮💨👏🚐💕✨ They showed up fully, tried their best and even gave the van a new name… 😂 🙌 Many thanks to Maryam Zar for inviting the van to show up 🙏 Oh and the gents thought it was funny because "My mom told me never to get in a van...or take candy from a van..." haha.

Creatives, want to get a response from me? Don't start a new email thread. Instead, reply to the LAST email we exchanged. Seriously. Go dig through your sent folder. Find the last email you got from me or sent to me. Hit REPLY ALL. Why does this work? It embeds our entire conversation history right there in the thread. I can instantly see how we know each other, what we talked about last time, and the context for why you're reaching out now. No homework for me. No "wait, who is this again?" Just immediate context. SUBJECT LINE STRATEGY: If our last conversation was in 2023, update the subject line: Format: [First Name] [Last Name] | [Abbreviated Title] | [Juicy Hook] Examples: "Bumping this from 2023 – Maya Rodriguez | Sr. Designer | Just resigned from Meta" The "juicy hook" is key. Give me a reason to open it now. Make it impossible for me to ignore. Reply, don't restart.
