Our purpose of this conversation was to show that being ‘salesy’ has got nothing to do with a sales conversation. In fact, building a relationship and connecting within your values is the very foundation of being both human and a sales person.

Julie wanted viewers, especially those in small businesses, to understand that selling your products and services are essential and the mindset about this needs to move from one of being transactional to relational.

How has this got anything to do with every person? Well, at some point you are going to need to ask to be heard, go for a promotion, apply for a new job, or ask someone out on a date… the techniques that we unpack in this conversation will support you during these times.

In this episode, Julie is having a conversation with Sharon Davies, Founder and Managing Director of Sales 2 Success.

(14:30 ) - How talking AT can negatively impact a conversation

(20:40 ) - How to start building trust in a new professional or client relationship

(21:25 ) - How sales and everyday conversations are the same - what puts people off (discord) and what gains resonance

(27:40 ) - How leadership support defines conversations that people are having with their clients

(30:18 ) - Knowing your value can ensure that you can have alignment in relationships. This can look like confidence, “I am wanting to bring my value and have it valued.”

This was such a great conversation with Sharon Davies. We would love to hear your feedback and thoughts on this topic. We are fueled by the knowledge that these conversations help people feel more connected and comfortable with having important conversations that make a difference.
