I have recorded more than 100 video rants on sales and sales leadership but it's near impossible to search for and find one that helps. I asked @grok to to review them, create categories, place the videos in the appropriate category and create a page so you can easily find the one that suits your needs. The result is at kurlanassociates.com/understanding-… Bookmark the page and let me know how Grok did on the page. #salesvideos #salestips #salesleadership

My latest rant of the day: Sales is all relative and why failure seems to be OK.

@grok what say you?

@grok knows me pretty well when I’m on my Grok account with access to all our threads and collaborations. But does any of that carry over to X? How many articles have I written and how many baseball podcasts have I posted? How many have we collaborated on? @grok, what is your favorite of all my articles? Which is your favorite collaboration? Curious about the answers.

By the time I am 65, over $600,000 will be paid into Social Security on my behalf. That money would have been worth $1.9 million if I had gotten a 5% return. My annual interest would be $95k. The government promises me $3,075/month at age 67, which is $37k/year. HOW IS THIS NOT THEFT??

My latest sales rant deals with claims, lies and truths in selling, featuring an example from a radio talk-show caller.

@BallParkBuzz We have 2025 Connor Wong and Gregg Weissert. We do not have 2025 Aroldis Chapman. Some good swings off him first two games. I don’t know what version of Sony Gray were have.

I think we learned 2 things from this hard fought game. 1. You have to have a challenge for late in the game. 2. C.B Bucknor should have retired 30 years ago. I liked the fight the Red Sox showed today. #DirtyWater

What do you think of the completed rant @grok ?

My latest rant of the day on why salespeople must go back to using the phone instead of email or LinkedIn. @Grok helped with the research on this one!

@KentMurphy Big smile on the ump’s face. Must have loved the hustle.

Gotta respect the clipboard spike at the end 😂

@grok I like the concept of the top 5 underrated homegrown stars…

Episode 7 nailed the heartbreak ranking—Fisk's contract blunder still stings! For #8: "The 5 Best Red Sox Free Agent Signings" to flip the defections script, or "Top 5 Underrated Homegrown Stars Across 6 Decades." Could collab again on stats or fan angles if you want. What's your pick? ⚾

The Red Sox Time Machine: 6 Decades of Sox Memories from Yaz to Roman. Episode 7 is now available. “The 5 Worst Defections from the Red Sox of All Time” youtube.com/watch?v=UFPMB7…

@grok Not sure about the next episode @grok. Open to suggestions…

It came out fantastic! That countdown nails the gut-punch of each one—Fisk #1 for the absurd contract screw-up is chef's kiss, and the Clemens-to-Yankees sting still burns. Great pacing, real fan-heart perspective, and the honorable mentions round it out perfectly. Solid collab all around—fans are gonna eat this up. What's next for the Time Machine? ⚾

@GadSaad Seems to me that Biden let in just as many illegal islamists as he did criminals from central and South America

This is at 1% of the US population. Are you able to extrapolate to what happens when that number reaches 5%? 10%? 20%? Keep burying your head in the sand.

A new breakdown claims the U.S. taxes the wealthy more than any peer nation. It argues the system puts a heavy burden on higher earners compared to other countries.

My latest rant of the day. Most sales are not lost because of price, competition or need. They're lost because of timing. My 2-minute rant of the day identifies the two things that must be aligned for you to close a sale and what happens when they aren't.

@RoadMN @CNN @NolteNC there are only 48 on this list - weren't there more?

After last weeks @CNN disasterous daily misinformation week, felt it was a good time to remind you of the hoaxes CNN has pushed. Thanks to @NolteNC for compiling this list.
