Broken Salespeople

Red Stafstrom

We Fix Broken Salespeople. If you feel like something is "off" in your sales career and want to figure out what it is, this is the podcast for you. After having a breakdown in 2015 Red discovered that he needed to try to do things differently. He then spent years taking apart and rebuilding sales processes to make it work the right way. Many of the old cliches did not survive the testing process. If you are frustrated by your sales, join us in the workshop. Until then. Go fix yourself.
