The Brutal Truth about Sales and Selling - We interview the world's best B2B Enterprise salespeople.
Brian Burns
No BS Allowed - Are you sick of empty suits telling you to work harder? - Learn about The Maverick Selling Method, which models the world's best salespeople and what they do differently. If you are in sales and are passionate about selling, you will like this podcast. The focus is on b2b sales and selling. If you are selling or in sales, this podcast is for you. I cover cold calling, spin selling, challenger sale, solution selling, and advanced selling skills. Strategic selling, LinkedIn, saas, sales leadership, sales management, social media, b2b marketing, maverick selling method and how sales have changed. If you are in sales and like selling, this podcast is for you.
I have been selling for over 25 years, and today I help companies increase revenue and reduce sales cycles by understanding how their customers make purchase decisions. I avoid the old-school tips and trick approach to sales and instead create a sales and buying pattern map which enables salespeople to understand the selling and buying pattern. My clients are rewarded with over a 300% increase in new business and a 30% reduction in the time it takes to close business. My approach is direct and without the fluff that other sales training companies take, so if you want the brutal truth about sales and selling, you have found the right place.
