Most of the time, I’m interviewing high 7, 8, 9, and even 10-figure entrepreneurs to uncover the tactics and strategies that worked to scale their businesses. However, this week, I’m doing something a little different…
In this episode, I wanted to share some of the best sales advice featured on the show.
Our team went back through the archives and pulled the biggest takeaways from 3 killer entrepreneurs—Neal Tricarico, Cole Gordon, and Ted Miller—who have all hired and trained thousands of salespeople.
While each of these guys has their own full-length episode on the podcast, I wanted to narrow in on some of the key elements of their sales processes.
We only scratch the surface here, but there are a variety of actionable sales tactics and strategies that your company can start using today.
