Back by popular demand, it\'s just the ladies going rogue and sharing their insights and unique perspective on sales. Today they are talking about the correlation between selling and dating and relationships. Discussing how new prospects are always exciting, sometimes after you close the deal the effort to keep the client happy drops off, wondering if someone is playing the field when you think they\\u2019re committed, the importance of consistent and honest communication and building trust, the difficulty of walking away after investing so much into something, knowing that feeling of connection and alignment, \\xa0and playing the long game.

They then shift to the topic of humor in sales. Using humor to disarm a client, to get through and awkward moment, and to be vulnerable and put people at ease. Gina talks about the keys of repetition and contrast, relatability, delivering the unexpected, and paying attention to audience behavior.
