How Salespeople Lose By Projecting Perfect - Coach Dan Gordon, Consultant
Manage episode 451151984 series 2868393
Summary:
In this episode, I interview Coach Dan Gordon, an executive business coach and host of the podcast For Badass Entrepreneurs Only. We discuss the importance of selling authentically and the impact of human connection in sales. Miriam Webster's Dictionary rated authenticity the #`1 word last year so it goes without saying it's overused. We actually break down what it is and isn't in sales.
Coach Dan emphasizes the need for salespeople to show up with authenticity and share their true thoughts and feelings. He believes that deeper connections and trust are formed when people drop their armor and have honest conversations.
The conversation also touches on the relationship between sales and personal relationships, the power of unlimited possibilities, and the value of embracing failure as a path to success. We also explore the importance of understanding the buyer's perspective and demonstrating value in sales. We dive into the role of fear in sales and the importance of asking for what you want. Dan shares his insights on trauma and its impact on self-perception, as well as the four pillars that entrepreneurs often struggle with: sleep, stress, focus, and performance.
Finally Dan offers a free week of a sleep improvement tool called New Calm.
