Jeanine Dargis: From Cheesemaker to Franchising a Payroll Service

About Jeanine Dargis: Jeanine is the Owner of Payroll Vault, a boutique payroll and workforce management service designed for small businesses. She shares her growth from salesperson to cheesemaker to business owner and the franchising webinar that kicked it all off. Her franchise helps small businesses typically with less than 50 employees operate better by taking out the pain of payroll and letting business owners focus instead on growing their businesses.

In this episode, Nancy and Jeanine discuss:

  • Learning to sell with Cutco knives and becoming a cheesemaker for 6 years.
  • Making a choice between buying a house and starting a business.
  • Choosing to cater to small businesses and helping them grow.

Key Takeaways: 

  • Selling is all about the art of communicating with people in their own style.
  • Work on your business. You want to strategize, manage, and create systems so your business can run even without you.
  • It is never too late to switch things up if you decide you want to try entrepreneurship. Take the lessons learned from your other experiences and apply them to something different.

“You don’t have to be an expert at what the business is as long as you are an expert at managing people or learning about the business or running the business.” – Jeanine Dargis

Tibor Shanto: Be a Professional Interruptor with a Worthwhile Message

About Tibor Shanto: Tibor is the Chief Prospecting Officer of Renbor Sales Solutions, as well as the author of two great books. He helps B2B companies translate sales strategies into reality and develops salespeople who understand that success in sales is about execution. Today, Tibor discusses how to be a professional interruptor and how to make this interruption worthwhile to your prospect.

In this episode, Nancy and Tibor discuss:

  • How to be professional interruptors. If you put an idea in front of people who were not anticipating it but benefited from it, then the interruption was worthwhile.
  • Leaving voicemail is an effective tactic but the messaging should be different compared to how a regular cold call goes.
  • Buyers can be actively-looking or passively-looking.

Key Takeaways:

  • Voicemail messaging is best used to create mystery. The human mind naturally hates mystery, so create voicemail that compels prospects to resolve it by calling you back.
  • Invest time by revisiting successful deals. Ask how their workflow changed because that is the story you can tell your next customer.

“In having a story or conversation about the workflow, your product will have a starring role, but the story and the movie will be more interesting to the client because it’s about the overall process they’re going to go through, it’s about the growth that they’re going to go through.” – Tibor Shanto
