Session: Overcoming the Pain of Selling
"I'm not ready. I can't manage objections. I don't want to bother anyone."
When it comes to sales, women are statistically the best. We have an intuition that guides us, we read nuance well, we create relationships quickly, etc. However, we're often more afraid than men to get out there and sell. We come up with all kinds of blocks that stop us from selling for our business. In this talk, we'll discuss some of those blocks and the ways you can overcome them. We'll also discuss some strategies that help before you get in the room and once you're in the room that can help you close the sale.
