Join me and Kay for an outstanding episode. You won't be disappointed.

Kay Miller is an expert on Uncopyable Sales. As the first woman ever hired for outside sales
by Amerock, a division of Anchor Hocking, she built her formidable sales career by
emphasizing long-term relationships over one-time deals. Kay was later hired by Walker
Exhaust, a division of Tenneco, and the largest automotive muffler manufacturer in the world.
While there, she was named Walker’s Salesperson of the Year, an accolade that earned her
the nickname “Muffler Mama.”

Kay has been a top sales performer ever since, and now speaks and consults. She’s the
author of the new book, Uncopyable Sales Secrets – How to Create an Unfair Advantage
and Outsell Your Competition. The book has been called “The most fun sales book you’ve
ever read,” and is packed with powerful strategies as well as specific actions you can start
using immediately to make more sales.

Christian Banach is Principal/Chief Growth Officer of the business development and growth consultancy, Christian Banach LLC, where he and his team guide marketing agencies and martech companies to land 6- & 7-figure opportunities predictably and unlock their full potential. 

Christian founded a concert promotion and experiential marketing agency in high school and would grow it to over $10MM in sales.

That company grew rapidly, and he worked with Grammy award winners like Lady Gaga and Pitbull. Not long after, Christian launched an experiential marketing agency division and activated programs for Disney and Toyota.

The business boomed, but the 2008 Great Recession happened. Things screeched to a halt. Like many agencies, his firm had grown through worth-of-mouth and referrals. To rebound, Christian hired a consultant who taught him the fundamentals of business development.

Feeling reinvigorated, Christian closed his company, took what he learned from the consultant, and pivoted to a career in agency business development. Over the last decade, Christian has worked at independent and holding company agencies across marketing disciplines.

Christian discovered that his superpower was hunting and generating top-of-the-funnel opportunities with enterprise companies. He was involved in millions of dollars of wins with companies like Kohl's and Constellation Brands.

Over the years, he felt an entrepreneurial itch, but he wasn't sure what he wanted to do. But the pandemic started, agencies lost clients, and some closed their doors. It reminded Christian of his agency during the Great Recession.

But this time, Christian had the expertise to help as that consultant did for him. He left his high-paying agency job and launched Christian Banach LLC to help agencies and martech companies build relationships, gain perspective, and grow.
