She Sells He Sells

Did you know that studies show people spend 40% of their day selling - no matter what industry they’re in? We’re Krista and Brian Demcher and not only have we been married for 21 years, but together we have 29 years of sales experience in both the small business + corporate worlds. We believe that sales skills are life skills and whether you're a member of a sales team focused on meeting your monthly quota, an entrepreneur trying to launch your new business, or a parent trying to get your kid to do what you asked, it all comes down to your ability to influence beliefs and move someone into a decision. We’ve taken everything we’ve learned over the years about and packaged it into a simple system that you can follow so you don’t have to figure it out the hard way, and we’re so excited to share more with you here. Join us on a mission to change the way you think about sales. We can't wait to take you along the journey for some inspiration, some education and a lot of fun.
