48 - From Marine to Sales Coach: A Journey of Self-Discovery and Reconnection with 360 Sales Consulting's Ben Brown

Your host, Craig Andrews, talks with the Owner of 360 Sales Consulting, Ben Brown. Ben is the author of the book "Master the Art of Closing the Sale," available on Amazon. He encourages readers to connect with him and offers a 50-minute session on his website, 360 Sales Consulting, for individuals seeking assistance with their sales strategies. Ben firmly believes that by identifying and addressing gaps in their sales approach, most people can easily increase their sales by 30-40%.

Ben's decision to join the Marine Corps was driven by limited opportunities in his small hometown and a desire to stay close to his roots. Serving as an artilleryman, Ben's deep love for the Marine Corps shines through as he shares how this experience has profoundly shaped his life.

Delving into a more personal aspect of his life, Ben opens up about being adopted as a child. After spending three years in foster care, Ben embarked on a journey to reconnect with his birth mother. After 42 years, they were finally reunited, discovering a strong resemblance and forming a close bond. Reflecting on the significance of this reunion, Ben emphasizes that every adopted child has a unique story. Reconnecting with his birth mother was a pivotal moment in his life, allowing him to forge a deeper connection with his roots and gain a better understanding of his identity.

The conversation also explores Ben's leadership experiences, both in the Marine Corps and as a sales coach. Drawing from his time in the Marine Corps, Ben highlights the importance of action-oriented leadership and the value of having a team that believes in your leadership. He shares a personal story about a difficult decision he had to make regarding his marriage, drawing parallels to the tough choices leaders often face in a business setting.
