Episode 101: What Happens If We “Explore the No” in a Sales Conversation? With Marla Mattenson

Expansive CEO Podcast

Many of us have seen sales programs that teach the salesperson to drive the customer fast and hard to a “yes.” That method often sows seeds of resentment and bitterness that creates a problematic situation down the road when working with a client. There is a much better way to sell that honors you and the customer and takes into consideration your customer's decision-making style – and we're walking through it!

In this episode, Hannah Chapman, CFP, APMA, CRPC talks about a healthier approach to sales with Marla Mattenson, an internationally-recognized speaker and expert working with thought leaders in sales, business, and love, and the founder of the Ethical Sales Institute.

Over the course of her 20+ year career, Marla has helped thousands of people deepen their intimate connections including Academy Award-winning actors, producers and directors, NBA players and coaches, Grammy Award-winning artists, and millionaire entrepreneurs. Marla's advice has appeared in The New York Times, Forbes, Oprah, NBC, ABC, CBS, and Entrepreneur to name a few.
