Sales Rises and Falls on Leadership - Barbara Giamanco

Phil Gerbyshak (he/him)

Jul 27, 2017

Talking to a sales legend always makes me smarter. This conversation with Barb Giamanco is one of those times. If you tune in, you'll see why, as we go deep into why sales rises - and falls - on leadership. We also discuss how to get people's attention on social media, how to fix the seller's mindset (hint: Answer the question: What is important enough that the person you're trying to connect with that they will take time out of their day?) and more about how to drive conversations in a helpful way with those you interact with.
