    How to Sell Without Bragging - One Tip to Help

    How to Sell Without Bragging - One Tip to Help

    Many people are reluctant sellers. Even seasoned salespeople sometimes feel uncomfortable sharing their strengths with potential clients, never mind the occasional salesperson who really doesn't like to shout from the rooftops about what they do! 

    If you find yourself a bit tongue-tied pitching yourself at networking events, in meetings or over the phone, this episode will help you.

    If you're a non-salesperson who has to sell yourself or your business in order to deliver what you're great at but find it difficult, tune in. 

    Host Paul Owen will share with you a tip to help the slightly more reluctant salespeople, perhaps some of whom suffer from imposter syndrome. 

    If you have expertise but find it difficult to express it in sales conversations, Paul's tip will help you immediately. 

    Enjoy the show.

    Fix the Most Common Closing Mistake in Telesales

    Fix the Most Common Closing Mistake in Telesales

    Closing is not - as often claimed - the secret to sales success. But it does matter.

    It's not the secret because you don't rescue a bad sales conversation with a great close.

    But it matters because you can have a good sales conversation and waste it by closing badly.

    This is not only the most common closing mistake in telesales but also the most frustrating. All the hard work has been done!

    Join host, Paul Owen, as he shares the details on this common mistake and gives the simple change you can make tomorrow to improve this part of your sales calls. 

    Enjoy the show.

    Training is Broken. Fix it with Taylor Swift

    Training is Broken. Fix it with Taylor Swift

    Education is broken. It has been for years. That broken model is often replicated in the training world, for sales and others.

    This leads to unproductive training programmes, a lack of positive change and a growing disenchantment with learning.

    This is a problem we need to fix. This is a problem we can fix.

    Join host Paul Owen in this solo episode as he makes clear the problems of the broken model, the knock-on effects for workplace training and how a lesson from Taylor Swift can turn the tide.

    In addition, Paul offers all podcast listeners to chance to pre-register for an exciting new initiative from True Sales, launching soon. Tune in for full details.

    Can You Make Yourself More Likeable?

    Can you make yourself more likeable? And, if you can, does it matter in sales?…

    In this solo episode, host Paul Owen answers both questions based around the many years of research into likeability done by social scientists.

    If you think that likeability either happens or doesn’t, think again.

    You’re about to find out that there are 5 factors that foster likeability.

    And each of them is under your control.

    Enjoy!
