    So, get ready to look at the world in a different way as Scott and I welcome author and sales expert Jimmy Z to discuss Shift Your Sales Perspective on Episode 609 of the Winning at Selling podcast.

    Feb 2024 - Referrals: Asking, Giving and Receiving

    The most successful salespeople will admit the best leads they receive are from referrals.  Referrals serve as evidence of a “transfer of trust.”  What have we shared about building trust in a sales conversation.  It’s the only way you receive honest answers.  When the TIMING is right and TRUST is high, you increase your chances of converting a lead to a commitment.
     So, think about who you’d like to refer this episode to - as Bill, and I discuss Referrals: Asking, Giving and Receiving and other miraculous matters on episode 604 of the Winning at Selling Podcast
