Scaling a business doesn’t require swagger—it requires discipline.

In this episode of The Thunderstock Show, I sit down with Frank Gustafson, Marine Corps veteran, 35-year sales leader, and founder of Strategic Training Partners, a Sandler Training firm helping founders get out of the weeds and build scalable sales systems.

Frank shares how the discipline forged in the Marines became his unfair advantage in business, and how sales success today demands more than charm—it demands a repeatable, teachable, measurable system.

We get into:

• Why easy-going discipline is the real sales superpower
• The art vs. science of sales—and why most people get it backwards
• Building a visual pipeline (and why Frank keeps 200 ping pong balls on his shelf)
