When a challenging conversation has to be had with a customer, salespeople often struggle to be honest out of fear it won’t sit well on the receiving end. As the marketplace rapidly evolves, continuing to skew details to please customers is a practice you must eliminate. Now more than ever is the time for your business to adapt…

In today’s episode, Tim talks with Troy Olsen of Napoleon Fireplace about how the pandemic has caused drastic changes and innovations within our industry. Troy is an industry veteran who has watched so much growth over the past 25 years, making a valuable perspective on our current circumstances.

In this episode you will learn: 

Why honesty is the greatest form of intelligence when working with competitors and customers (we need more of this). 

How changing your business’s identity to better align with your market conditions is crucial to maximizing success (being stuck in the same practices gets you nowhere). 

The ultimate phrasing to deliver a hard message to someone (you are not going to want to miss this). 

Although it may be hard to let go of practices that worked for so many years, embracing change within your business is essential in achieving success within our quickly changing industry. Listen today to learn how you can modernize how your business approaches the future.

The Fire Time Podcast

Are you tired of presentations that are only half relevant to your business? Many speakers are not practitioners of their material, simply teachers—not so with The Fire Time Podcast. This podcast is for the hearth industry and by the hearth industry. Host Tim Reed has over a decade of experience in the hearth industry, making conversations with guests relevant and extremely practical. In Season One, Tim speaks with twelve hearth industry leaders and provides content relevant to any position, whether on the retail or manufacturing side. Hearth companies everywhere are lost because the landscape of business has changed dramatically in the last ten years. They are trying hard, but they just don’t know what to do.

This podcast will give you the tools to move the needle in your company and win in the changing landscape.

The simple and repeatable steps provided will empower you to grow the bottom line of your company and inspire the team that you lead. ABOUT: Tim Reed is the Retail Sales Leader at Fireside Home Solutions in the Pacific Northwest where he helps his team members make it so stupidly easy to buy from them that there is no excuse not to. Starting as individual salesperson in an empty warehouse, he has grown Fireside’s Retail division by millions (after cutting his marketing budget by 90%). Tim has been invited all over the country to teach companies how to market effectively to their customers and sell more than ever before. His YouTube videos, sales blog, and “Fire Time Podcast” have become a resource for the industry and are actively helping thousands of people rethink their paradigms so that they can grow their businesses in the changing landscape. Tim learned “just enough to be dangerous” about sales, marketing, web development, and leadership from years of playing guitar in a failing punk band—which he swears has uniquely qualified him for his job today. Now considered one of the most innovative minds and compelling communicators in the industry, Tim uses his platform to serve others, helping them create clear messages that are wildly compelling to their audiences. Tim lives in Portland, Oregon with his wife, Jessica, two children, Olivia and Luke, and his 90 pound Golden Retriever, Walter. He still plays guitar in a failing punk band.
