Closing Remarks and Invitation to Engage with the Podcast Community

Benjamin started his consulting business with a mission to teach others the language and skills of sales. He has helped build sales teams, hire salespeople, and provide coaching and training. According to Benjamin, sales is a simple concept of getting someone to move, whether it's through a billboard, website, or phone call. He emphasizes that sales is everywhere, and understanding the process can help salespeople avoid being perceived as pushy or salesy. One of Benjamin's unique approaches to working with clients involves role-playing and practicing sales skills. He firmly believes that sales is a skill that can only be learned through practice and experience. He also emphasizes the importance of asking questions and not making assumptions in sales conversations. By asking the right questions, salespeople can better understand their clients' needs and provide the right solutions. Benjamin stresses the importance of understanding your product and selling it effectively. He points out that potential clients constantly judge you, especially in verbal or in-person interactions. He suggests imagining a scenario where all modern technology is removed, and you must sell your product on the street.
