The Thoughtful Entrepreneur 2232 - How Can Curiosity and Problem-Solving Transform Your Sales Skills with Sales Guru Global's Navid Momeni
Sales Mastery in the Modern Era with Navid Momeni
In this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge talks with Navid Momeni, Founder and CEO of Sales Guru Global and author of How to Become a Sales Master. Navid dives into what sets top-performing sales professionals apart in today’s market—emphasizing curiosity, empathy, and the relentless pursuit of growth. He shares how modern sales is about problem-finding over problem-solving, and why consistency, coachability, and a “growth mindset” are essential for success.
Mastering Sales in Today’s Evolving Landscape
Navid emphasizes that modern sales professionals excel through curiosity, in-depth research, and empathetic listening. Instead of pushing products, they act as trusted advisors who uncover client challenges and tailor meaningful solutions. These skills transform sales conversations into opportunities for connection, clarity, and trust-building.
He also explains the importance of daily habits like tracking activity, refining objection handling, and practicing consistent follow-up. The concept of “clobbering”—relentless repetition and feedback—helps salespeople build muscle memory and improve performance over time. Navid stresses that coachability and consistency are key markers of lasting success.
Lastly, Navid highlights the human side of selling—resilience, adaptability, and giving back. He believes sales mastery includes a responsibility to uplift others, which is why 100% of proceeds from his book are donated to charity. His holistic view of growth as both personal and professional sets a powerful standard for sales leaders today.
