Authentic Sales Conversations with Ann Hession

I loved the raw conversation about what people want, authentic communication and the freedom to be heard, respected and connected. I have always thought of sales as chasing in the male model of “wrestle it to the ground and kill it.” As a healer, it seemed counterintuitive and very uncomforatble. Hearing Catherine and Ann discuss sales in terms of energetics and how you make people feel, the feminine sales model…puts me at ease and FEELS GOOD! Natural even. I can relate about this practical gift from Ann, about the “Tell Me More” trap, I have more to learn! I appreciate the straight conversation and I’m looking forward to many more episodes from Catherine O’Leary, I think I’ve struck energetic gold! Thank you.
