Join us as we decipher this unique strategy with Kathy Walterhouse, a professional rule breaker and host of the Professional Rule Breaker podcast. Learn how breaking from the norm doesn't mean breaking laws, instead it's about challenging conventional wisdom and disrupting the status quo.
Through Kathy's unique approach, paralleled with Elon Musk’s disruption of the auto industry, she has found stunning success in her sales career, selling close to a billion dollars. In our discussions, Kathy dives deep into the importance of maintaining a strong mindset, overcoming doubts and fears, dealing with imposter syndrome, and centering the focus on the customer for utmost success in sales.
Kathy lays emphasis on the principle of selling in the same way you'd like to be sold to. Pushing stereotypes aside, she introduces the idea of selling as a noble act of helping others, removing their pains, and guiding them towards success. As Kathy points out, when customers succeed, so does the business. Also, learn about Kathy’s 'connection campaign'- a unique way to engage customers at a personal level for more meaningful connections.
To wrap up, Kathy encourages us to dare to break the norm and to always remain brave and authentic. According to her, every individual carries the potential to make a significant difference.

Why do many small businesses fail to scale? Today’s guest says that it’s a function of leadership and it’s fixable.
Dave Bookbinder goes Behind The Numbers with Hal Levenson, Partner and Chief Visionary Officer  at Haefele Flanagan.
Former CPA, Hal Levenson, spent many years in his accounting practice helping small and medium-sized companies, in the New York, New Jersey and Philadelphia area. An entrepreneur himself, Hal is passionate about the contributions that entrepreneurs make to economic growth, standard of living, skill advancement, and community development. Yet, in his years in accounting, he saw the frustration of CEOs trying to align business objectives with personal goals. He noticed that so many businesses seemed stuck. Employees at most every level were putting in long hours and working exceptionally hard just to get an edge on a competitor, keep up with technology or handle sensitive personnel issues.
When organizations attempt to carry out major business functions without the required skills and behaviors, it creates a great and unnecessary challenge and slows business growth. Hal founded Trilogy Partners in 2009 to provide these businesses and their CEOs with the direction, planning, and financial advice that they need. He formed a team of experienced C-Suite advisors, called Alliance Partners, who could help entrepreneurs implement their vision.
In 2021, Trilogy Partners merged with Haefele Flanagan to provide stronger outcomes for clients, whom now have access to holistic business advisory services from strategy through finance.  HFConsulting services include, but are not limited to, strategic planning, executive and leadership coaching, business transition and exit planning, financial education, and C-Suite support.
In this episode we unpack the various factors that impact a company's ability to scale, including identifying blind spots; making tough decisions; creating healthy conflict to increase accountability; and more!
