Quit Defining Sales the Same Way
Quit Defining Sales the Same Way
It Stops You From Reaching Your Potential By Sales Motivational Speaker Connie Podesta Often, one of the first things I tell sales audiences is to QUIT defining sales the old way because when they think of sales in a “traditional” sense – they become fearful. The “I can’t do it” sets in. The phone becomes the enemy. The prospecting grinds to a halt. Listen, we were all BORN to sell. Look at any given 2-year-old. They are masters at handling objections.

EVERYONE is in Sales… Regardless of Job Title
As a Keynote Speaker, I often ask my audience: exactly what IS your title? Or perhaps I should say titles plural since we’re often asked to wear many hats these days in our hustling, bustling work environment. And their answers? Are all over the board.
