Business Problems Solved Podcast Ethical Communication For Better Business - with Liston Witherill
In this week's show, Lee talks to self-professed "revenue strategy nerd" and sales legend, Liston Witherill, about the concept of ethical communication, and how to be a better and more intentional listener in order to create sales.
KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The things that hold many businesses and their leaders back, are their inability to communicate clearly and directly, listening and asking great questions.
- Ethical communication is about understanding who we are talking to, and communicating clearly and with honourable intent.
- If we feel that ethical selling sounds better on paper, but that it will not help you to close vital sales, then it's a signal that you do not have enough demand, not that the concept itself is lacking.
- If you want to become known for solving a problem, you have to have content. There is no other way to achieve this position.
BEST MOMENTS
'I founded what amounts to an idea about how business could be'
'Business must be ethical considerate and empathetic'
'One of the things that makes it easy to be ethical is to have confidence that another opportunity will come soon'
'The problem with a generalist position, is that there's no compelling reason to attract anyone beyond word-of-mouth'
