“If you allow yourself to appreciate and understand and accept and embrace that sales service, that sales is love and that you and your business are a service men. A service woman. A man of love, a woman of love. Sales is the way to allow you to express that love. Because without selling something to someone. You're not really able to serve.” 

Are you running a business but find yourself dreading the sales process? It's time to change your perspective. In this episode, we're discussing why sales aren't just necessary—they're vital to the success of your business. More importantly, sales offer a unique opportunity to connect with others, contribute to their lives, and serve them in a meaningful way.
