It's a pleasure to tune in to these type of topics. I'm top tier at designing but sales and closing deals is generally where I fumble the bag! 😞

[@Sponsifyr]

You're posting from 2010 really surprising 🫣

[@harmoni.e]

Loving these sales and marketing interviews! Thank you Chris! 🙏🏾

[@thefutur]

Glad you like them!

[@azpidi]

Doing business with integrity. Don't waste the clients time. Listen to actually find the problem and be a part of their business, not just to make a sale. Beautiful episode from start to finish.

[@rybfish76]

We live in amazing times! How lucky are we?? Seriously! That we get to listen to these gold conversations that at one time were only meant for very few ears. Appreciate the sales videos, they have helped! Cheers!

[@mdhridoy2533]

Your video is interesting. But one of the best videos I've ever seen. This video contains some amazing secrets behind sales tactics and leadership. Seeing this can bring a lot of improvement to our business. (Breaking the Negative Stereotypes of Sales with Sean Shepard).....

[@iamthekaverik]

🔹 My 9 Takeaways from this video Thank you: Chris, John, & The Futur Team … 1 🔹 What are they looking for? 2 🔹 Sales Integrity :: Do they really need what you offer, to solve the problem they have? 3 🔹 Be Direct & Honest. 4 🔹 Sell Trust - by connecting to them, first, as a person 5 🔹 Recognise different Prospect Personalities, and how to handle them. 6 🔹 In Sales, Listen > Talk with the goal to Fully Understand from their perspective - to run that part of their business the way they would need to if they could 7 🔹 If their expectations do not match your capability, do not proceed - or it will be deemed your fault if it fails 8 🔹 Be Unmoved by the outcome - Don't be Desperate - There will always be another 9 🔹 Lack of work is the lack of a repeatable sales process . . .
