Most professionals think networking is about adding names to a list. But the truth? Most of those names never buy, never trust you, and never move the needle for your business.

If you’re leading a sales team or running a professional services firm that’s stuck in “random acts of networking,” this episode is for you.

Before we dive in, if you want to fix the chaos in your sales process, build a system that drives performance, and actually grow, book a call with The Sales Machine team. We’ll help you turn your network into a growth engine.

Today, I’m joined by Andi Baldwin, CEO of Profitable Ideas Exchange (PIE), based in Bozeman, Montana, and author of the new book The Growth Engine. Andi has spent her career helping firms like KPMG, IBM, JLL, and Slalom build executive communities that don’t just talk, but actually generate business growth.

We get into:

Why client feedback is the lifeblood of professional services growth
How trust and relationships win more business than transactions ever will
Why niching down beats trying to serve everyone
How AI can enhance efficiency but never replace human connection
The mindset shift leaders need to build scalable growth systems
Why long-term relationships are the key to securing huge contracts
And how to build a network that becomes your real growth engine

👉🏼 Andi’s new book, The Growth Engine, is a must-read for professional services leaders who want to create scalable, sustainable growth models.

👉🏼 And if you’re ready to streamline your sales, fix the data chaos, and empower your team with performance-driven systems, book a call with The Sales Machine team today.
