What if the key to sales success was NOT greed, self-focus and a relentless push for decisions which are often not in the buyer’s best interest?
What if uncompromising competition was NOT the way to build quality and add value?
What if salespeople could do what many feel an innate desire to do – create genuine connections with other humans – and build a new business frame for our society?
A dream? Perhaps not.
