About the Show
Real Conversations for Sales Leaders Who Lead with Heart
The Show
The stress of the numbers is brutal. You’re caught between corporate quotas and a skeptical team who has heard it all before. When your first month as a sales manager produces $60K instead of the $400K you expected, the negativity crushes you. You don’t know how to handle it, so you become the “do your job” manager you never wanted to be.
But there’s another way.
The Authentic Sales Manager Show, hosted by Harry Spaight on the From the Heart Business Network, brings you conversations with sales leaders who’ve transformed from judgment to inspiration, from pressure to positivity.
This isn’t another methodology podcast promising silver bullets. This is where you discover practical hacks for staying positive, learn how leaders build tremendous cultures even in brutal economies, and find the community of people who understand what you’re going through. Authentic leadership isn’t about being perfect. It’s about being genuine, real, and positive even when it’s hard.

Host • From the Heart Business Network
When Harry became a sales manager, his team wrote $60K in their first month when he expected $400K. He felt like a complete failure and became what he thought he had to be: the hard-line “do your job” manager pushing people harder, wearing judgment, seeing them only as they were right now.
Then his wife dragged him to a Mary Kay conference. And everything changed. He saw sales leaders giving thunderous applause, being cheerful and positive and inspirational. Within months, he transformed his entire approach — celebrating small wins, high-fiving like Tiger Woods, visualizing success even when the economy crashed in 2008.
His team hit plan nine months in a row when everyone else said it was impossible. Now Harry brings those conversations to you every week.
