From a Good Sales Call to a Great Sales Call
Paperback (McGraw Hill)
When things don’t go well on a sales call, you probably ask yourself, “Why did I lose that sale?”. . . and then move on. But the question remains: Why did you lose that sale? Learning the answer can mean the difference between landing and losing the next sale. From a Good Sales Call to a Great Sales Call teaches you how to assess your strengths and weaknesses based on information you can get from the most qualified source available—the buyer.

Watching my son @mikeschr0der crush it with his college band @point64band is priceless! I couldn’t be prouder of the artist, singer, and guitar player he’s growing into. The journey’s just getting started — Nashville, here we come!

Hello from @theblackbirdstudio in Nashville, TN!

Not sure what’s going on in the world these days — that’s above my pay grade. But there’s a place I love to escape to for a hike: World’s End @worldsendreservation in Hingham, MA. Every time I go, I leave feeling more grounded and centered.
It’s honestly one of my favorite places on earth — and the scenery is pretty breathtaking. If you’re in the Boston area and need a peaceful day trip, I highly recommend checking it out!

Eight years ago, on my very first trip to Nashville, I had coffee with someone in radio. She asked me what my streaming goals were, and I told her I hoped to one day reach 100,000 streams on my songs. She said that was a very manageable goal — and honestly, I didn’t believe her.
Fast forward to today — my music is being listened to every second of every day, all around the world — and I just hit 5,000,000 streams.
I’m so proud of the songs I’ve made, and I have so much more music coming very soon.
Thank you for listening, sharing, and supporting me on this journey — you made this possible.

I’m excited to tell you I’ve finished my very first album of acoustic tracks. The songs here were written in the early phase of my career and I think you’ll recognize most of them. They’re some of my best from that period and they sound great recorded acoustically.
While this might seem like a departure for me, it’s really not. All of these songs existed acoustically prior to me recording them in the studio. I always feel like a song has to work acoustically before I commit to taking it into the band. If it has a strong enough melody it’ll sound good no matter what instruments are featured.
Lately, I’ve been obsessed with doing acoustic versions of some of my songs, so it’s safe to say that pretty soon you’ll be hearing from me again, when Volume II, comes out. That one will feature songs written and recorded more recently.

I’m excited to tell you about a new project I just finished, and no, it’s not a new album! This one’s called “Patches & Scraps,” and it’s actually a children’s book.
I’ve wanted to do a project like this for a while now, ever since my own kids were younger.
Anyway, the idea goes back to when they were little and I spent a lot of time doing things to make them laugh, dumb stuff dads always do. As some of you know, I’m a big kid at heart.
The idea of “Patches & Scraps” comes from those silly days with my kids. I collaborated on it with my musical co-writer Steve Seskin and illustrator Clancy Pannell, and it’s out now.
This will be the first in a series of books for kids. Stay tuned for a full album of music too, also for kids!
Richard
