Let's Get Real or Let's Not Play


Book Description

The new way to transform a sales culture with clarity, authenticity, and emotional intelligence Too often, the sales process is all about fear. Customers are afraid that they will be talked into making a mistake; salespeople dread being unable to close the deal and make their quotas. No one is happy.

When they aren't, both lose.
