#599: Reviewing Game Film (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner describes a Friday sales call review he used to attend, where the person running it removed a participant within the first five minutes for showing up without timestamps. He recounts what happened to the woman who came prepared, took blunt feedback on her discovery and her pitch, and returned the following week having closed four of her five calls. Bradley explains what he found when he finally reviewed one of his own recorded calls, and why the distance betw
#598: Team Bonus Best Practices (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner breaks down the eight best practices behind a monthly team bonus that the team tracks on its own.

Read excerpt
In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner breaks down the three functional areas of a business: growth, delivery and fulfillment, and operations.

Bradley explains how growth splits further into marketing and sales, why a strong sales background often leaves the marketing function underbuilt,
#595: Developing A-Players (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In this solo episode, Bradley Hamner maps where developing your team actually sits inside a business blueprint. Team is one of the principles in the BlueprintOS operating system, and it carries three playbooks: attract A-players, develop A-players, and retain A-players.
