\u2666\ufe0fKEY TAKEAWAYS:\xa0
My first response to working in sales was negative. I did not want to be that salesperson.
\xa0It took a lot of research and coaching to realise that just because I was purpose drive and had values that they did not need to get in the way.
As long as we see sales and the process as an act of service, where our prospects feel respected and values. Then that should align with your purpose.
\u2666\ufe0f EPISODE QUOTES
"Many people that want to make a difference with their service, work, and technology are not landing enough clients because they are often saying they do not want to sell in case it compromises their values.
"If you are a person of integrity and values you can sell more because of it. Not despite your values"
