Feel Great About Sales with a Collaborative Approach to Selling w/Nikki Rausch

In this episode, the Sales Maven, Nikki Rausch explains her unique approach to sales. Nikki is the CEO of Sales Maven and has the unique ability to transform the misunderstood process of “selling”. With 25+ years of selling experience, entrepreneurs and small business owners now hire Nikki to show them how to sell successfully and authentically. Nikki has written 3 books, all available on Amazon. And she has a podcast called Sales Maven which you can find on your favorite podcast platform.

 Nikki shares with us how approaching sales with a collaborative mindset creates a scenario where selling can feel good and truly benefit both parties. She believes trying to convince someone to buy something is manipulative and outdated. There's a better way and during the conversation we delve into the societal shift away from being persuaded and how Nikki's approach takes the pressure off during sales conversations.
