Today's show is incredibly entertaining and high energy. Sales trainer, keynote speaker, best-selling author, and Gina's girl crush, Shari Levitin is here. The two begin with the subject of how our work lives have changed. It's a new hybrid workforce, a gig economy and people are choosing happiness and flexibility over traditional office jobs and working themselves to death. The workforce has arrived there, now it's time for leadership to catch up and learn how to lead in this new environment.
Shari also talks about sane scheduling, and making time for your life and family. She delves into the difficulty for salespeople to balance empathy and courage, how to recognize and rid yourself of bad prospects, compliance vs. commitment, the truth about objections, and how to create real urgency. Ok, that's just a small part of it. There is SO much more to absorb from this incredible episode.
PLUS!! Listen for your chance to win free gifts from Shari!
