Why Most Sales Training Doesn’t Work
The show is kicked off with Ali explaining why 99% of salespeople groan when their sales manager mentions sales training but then jump at the change to download training resource such as the Salesman Podcast in their own (very valuable) time.
“Anytime we as human beings are forced to do something, we instantly don’t want to do it.” – Ali Mirza
Ali then dives into why hard work is what moves the needle for most sales professionals rather than tools, software, natural skill or even the product to a certain degree.
“If you’re an interesting person, you’re an interesting person. That’s going to translate to all other aspects of your life, not just sales.” – Ali Mirza
The show is wrapped up with Ali and Will looking into how important it is to be competitive in sales. It’s the one thing that you can always rely on to drive you to close more deals and it’s something that never fades away if it’s well managed.
