Pamela Black shared thisTake a look at this throwback photo from the 70s, capturing a moment on a beach where not a SINGLE person is overweight. This image speaks volumes about how drastically our food choices have impacted us over the decades. The food industry has NOT been our friend in America. This picture is a powerful reminder that change is necessary and the journey to awareness starts with educating ourselves. I strongly encourage everyone to read "Good Energy" – it's filled with enlightening insights that could spark the beginning of a healthier future for all of us!

Pamela Black shared thisIn a world overwhelmed by quick fixes and chemical-laden solutions, my mission is clear and simple. I want to empower you to rid your life of toxins, to educate you on the foods that fuel your body, to reveal the reasons why these choices really matter, and to introduce you to clean, beneficial products. It's a journey of transformation, not just in what we eat, but in how we live. If that resonates with you, I’m always open to a short chat to see if we’re a fit.

Pamela Black shared thisIt's not just about the convenience and the immediate gratification of PFs. The ripple effect they have on our health and economy is getting totally out of hand. First, the big pharma finds a very lucrative market in the ailments that arise from consuming PFs. Conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and obesity are all on the rise, and this trend directly correlates with the increased consumption of PFs. The meds required to manage these diseases represent a huge revenue stream for pharmaceutical companies. Second, the healthcare system, which includes hospitals, clinics, and other medical services, is also impacted by the rise of PF-related dis-eases. These conditions often require long-term management, involving everything from emergency care to ongoing treatments and interventions...not to mention the side effects from the prescribed medications. This not only places a financial strain on our healthcare system but also emphasizes the need for a more holistic approach to health and wellness. This becomes a vicious cycle that highlights the importance of making informed choices about our food and advocating for a food system that prioritizes health and well-being over profit. As a health coach, I'm passionate about guiding individuals towards making choices that not only nourish their bodies but also contribute to a healthier ecosystem. Let's create a ripple effect of wellness that counters the current tide of a 'sickcare' system and leads us towards a more sustainable 'healthcare' system!Pamela Black shared thisThe food industry is not the only sector that benefits from processed foods (PF). They also benefit: the pharmaceutical industry (that sells drugs for PF diseases), and the health care system that manages PF diseases.

Pamela Black shared this🌟 Happy Self-Improvement Month everyone!🌟 September marks a special occasion to prioritize our personal growth journeys. One powerful way to invest in ourselves is through clean eating—a transformative step towards a year of healthy living. Clean eating doesn't have to be overwhelming or restrictive. It's all about making small, sustainable changes that nourish our bodies and enhance our overall well-being. Here are some simple steps to get started: 🥦 Focus on Whole Foods: Incorporate more fresh fruits, vegetables, organic sprouted grains, and lean proteins into your meals. These nutrient-dense choices are the building blocks of a healthy lifestyle. 🍽 Mindful Meal Planning: Take a few moments each week to plan your meals ahead of time. This will help you make conscious choices and avoid impulsive, less nutritious options. 💧 Hydration is Key: Drink half your body weight in ounces of water throughout the day to support digestion, boost energy levels, and promote vibrant skin. It's a small habit that can yield big benefits. 🍽 Balance your Plate: Eat in the right composition. 40% veggies, 30% protein, and 30% healthy fats should fill your plate to adequately nourish your body. 🍴 Savor Every Bite: Slow down and savor the flavors, textures, and aromas of your meals. Mindful eating allows us to fully appreciate our food and promote a healthier relationship with what we consume. By starting with these small steps towards clean eating, you'll pave the way for a year of healthy living. Remember, progress is more important than perfection. Celebrate every milestone and acknowledge that each intentional choice is an investment in yourself. If you're looking for support and guidance on your clean eating journey, I'm here for you! Together, let's make self-improvement month the beginning of a lifelong commitment to our well-being. #SelfImprovementMonth #CleanEating #HealthyLiving

And yet…we have an impressive number of photos of her just laying out in the sun. 😅 I like to think she’s still doing that somewhere, finally relaxing, finally resting and getting the perfect tan.

Pamela Black reacted on thisPamela Black reacted on thisI did not smoke a cigarette today. I did not buy cigarettes today. I did not even think about smoking a cigarette today. Because I'm not a smoker. No thought required. Now let me ask you …did you have to talk yourself into brushing your teeth this morning? Did you need motivation to have your coffee? Did you need the latest tips from a LinkedIn email guru on how to check your messages this morning? Of course not. Because that's just who you are. Here's what might hit closer to home. If you have to talk yourself into prospecting... If you have to psych yourself up to make the calls...If Monday's goals got shoved into next week on Friday... It's probably not a discipline issue. It's not a time management or a skill problem. It's an identity problem. Most salespeople have the equation backwards. They think if they HAD more success, they'd DO the things successful people do, and then they'd BE that person. But it actually works in reverse. You must BE the person first. Then you DO what that person does. Then you HAVE what that person has. Your subconscious has often already decided whether you're making that call before your hand ever reaches the phone. That's why willpower alone rarely works. That's why one motivational training day doesn't stick. That's why you probably already know what to do... and still don't always do it anywhere near often or well enough. This week's Smart Calling newsletter goes deep on this: -why identity drives behavior, -why most sales training makes it worse, -and what actually creates permanent change. I t's one of the most potentially impactful things I've written recently … for those who are tired of trying to “technique” their way into better results. Link in the first comment.

Pamela Black liked thisPamela Black liked thisI saw a LinkedIn post last week suggesting a manipulation tactic. (It involved actually lying.) The comments were full of praise and awe. One commenter called it "genius." A few people pushed back on the guy's BS but were drowned out. I went off about it and many other shady sales tactics in a rant in today's Smart Calling Report newsletter (link to the entire issue in the comments) but now I want to ask you directly: what's the slimiest sales tactic you've seen lately that people are calling "smart?" Drop it below.

Pamela Black reacted on thisPamela Black reacted on thisKnow anyone who won’t get in a photo because they hate the way they look in pictures? Sure. Now think about the person who hates the way their voice sounds on a recording.(Maybe that person is you.) They hear it and think: “Do I really sound like that?” Yeah, actually, you do. Now here’s the uncomfortable question. If YOU don’t like how you sound, what do you think the person on the other end of the phone is thinking? Because on a sales call, they don’t have your intentions. They don’t know your product yet. They don’t know you. All they have is how you sound. Your pace. Your tone. Your confidence… or lack of it. And they’re making judgments immediately. Not consciously. Instantly. That’s why so many calls go nowhere before they ever really begin. Not because of what was said... well, Ok, in many situations it IS because of what was said... but many more are dead in the water because of how it sounded. Here’s something simple you can do: Record your next call. Just the first 20 seconds. Then listen back and pretend it’s not you. Would you sound like someone you’d want to talk to? Or someone you’d try to get off the phone with? Most people are surprised. There’s a gap between how they THINK they sound…and how they actually sound. There are several negative speaking habits that you can work on right now to help others' judgment of you be the one you want. I broke this down in more detail (and what specifically to listen for) in this week’s Smart Calling Report newsletter. Link is in the comments.

Pamela Black reacted on thisPamela Black reacted on thisThere’s a lot of chatter on this platform about how tone makes all the difference in your prospecting openings, voicemails… really, the entire sales call. And they’re absolutely right. Thing is, almost no sales training teaches how to actually have that tone. Instead, you hear: “Be yourself.” “Be authentic.” Sure, sounds nice… but doesn’t help much when you're staring at the phone, knowing you should be placing calls but are considering checking email instead. The things that we all want and are told we should have...that desirable tone… authority… confidence…they don’t start with your voice. They start in your mind. Your thinking. Your identity. How you SEE yourself before you ever speak. And over time, that turns into habits. Often bad ones. Fillers. Upspeak. Rushing. That almost-apology tucked into your opener. The half-second “um” you didn’t even hear. You don’t notice them. Oh, but your prospect sure does. And in those first few seconds… those signals are doing all the talking. Long before your message ever has a chance. I’ve seen this play out on thousands of calls over 40+ years. Salespeople who might have the right words… But they don't get into those two-way engaging conversations we all want. Because delivery either creates trust, or the decision, “this isn’t someone I need to listen to.” That’s the part that is neglected. It’s not about pumping yourself up, sounding excited, or being louder. It’s about sounding settled. Calm. Like you belong in the conversation. That’s exactly what I built into a new masterclass: Project Authority: Trust and Confidence With Your Tone and Presence This shows you how to sound calm, credible, and in control in the first 20 seconds. Not by faking confidence. But by understanding the specific signals your voice is sending… and how to change them. If you’ve ever felt like you’re saying the right things… but not getting the response you should…THIS is the piece that fixes that. If you cringe when you hear your recorded voice, your prospects and customers are hearing the same thing. The good news, is that you can fix it. The program just dropped, with special launch pricing that is available through April 15. Link in the comments to the page with all of the details.

Pamela Black reacted on thisPamela Black reacted on thisMany salespeople (or their managers) think they have a closing problem. They don’t. I just recorded a podcast with Joe Dalton, and we hit on something that I see all the time. When someone says, “We need help closing more deals,” it’s almost never true. The real issue shows up much earlier. In the discovery. In the questions (or lack thereof). In the way the conversation is handled before anyone even thinks about “closing.” If the conversation is done right, the close is like running the ball in from the one-inch line (American football reference.) There’s no resistance. No pressure. No tricks. Just a natural next step. We also got into: • Why great salespeople don’t “sell”… they guide people to buy • How curiosity changes everything in a conversation • Why objections aren’t objections… they’re unanswered questions • The danger of talking too much… and how salespeople actually talk people OUT of buying Joe is one of the most genuine, thoughtful voices in sales. You can hear it in how he teaches, how he thinks, and how he approaches helping people. If you want better conversations… and easier decisions on the other end… You’ll want to listen to this one. Full episode is in the comments (audio + video)

Pamela Black liked thisPamela Black liked thisProspects can smell commission breath through the phone. They feel it the second the offender starts talking. It shows up like: "I was just reaching out..." "Wanted to touch base..." "Hoping to get on your calendar..." "You weren't expecting my call." All of those scream: "I need something from you." Professionals flip the script. They sound like they're calling because they have something that could be of value. Not because they need something. That shift...from asking to offering... is what separates the professionals, from those who just do sales. Because prospects don't avoid all salespeople. They avoid people who sound desperate. I just put together something on this... not tips or tactics, but a declaration of what professional selling actually is (and what it isn't). It's called The Smart Calling Manifesto. It's about the principles that separate professionals from everyone else who's "just trying to hit quota." If you've ever felt like the game was rigged because you were handed scripts that don't work and told to "just dial more"... This will resonate. You can read it here: https://lnkd.in/g5NK_ti3 What's a phrase you stopped using that made you sound needy? (Or one you hear from salespeople that causes that assessment from you?)

Pamela Black liked thisPamela Black liked thisSales didn’t get harder. Advice got worse. Over the past few years, I’ve watched prospecting become less human. Apologies replaced preparation. Gimmicky scripts replaced thinking. Politeness replaced relevance. Fear replaced confidence, identity and presence. And somehow, this became normal. We normalized: Announcing “this is a cold call” Begging for time before earning interest Framing conversations as a gamble None of this helps buyers. None of it helps sellers. It creates resistance and the very thing people fear most: rejection. This week, I broke down a real opening that fails in the first 20 seconds and showed the professional alternative that actually creates curiosity and engagement. This isn’t just about sales. The first 20 seconds determine whether people lean in or pull away in leadership conversations, interviews, sales and prospecting calls, coaching sessions, and high-stakes discussions of all kinds. If you believe professional conversations should feel human, confident, and relevant, not apologetic or scripted, you’ll recognize the pattern immediately. I’m back to publishing the Smart Calling Report every Tuesday with practical, field-tested strategies from 40 years in the trenches. Same philosophy. Sharper tools. This week’s issue breaks down: → The exact opening that failed, word for word → Why it triggers resistance psychologically → The 4-part Smart Calling framework that creates curiosity instead Free. Every Tuesday. Delivered to your inbox. (Not having to rely on the algorithm here deciding what you'll see.)
