Have you ever tried to implement someone’s productivity, organizational, time management, etc.  tips and they don’t work for you?

And she’s helped hundreds of others do the same!

This week on Sales is NOT a Dirty Word “ Eliminating Beliefs Holding You Back from Your Productivity & Sales” we talk to Angela Kristen Taylor, a productivity expert and entrepreneur.

Episode #28 - Improve Your Sales by Understanding Human Behavior Better

Episode #28 - Improve Your Sales by Understanding Human Behavior Better

Does (seemingly random) human behavior ever catch you completely off guard?

I know it does for me. Like “Where did THAT come from? That wasn’t my intention - why did it get that response? Etc., etc.”

And it really is an advanced sales skill to avoid getting thrown off when someone takes a HARD left turn in the middle of a sales conversation.

The key to mastering this skill is understanding the causes behind strange behavior - and how to neutralize them.

This is what we talk about with Moon Tucker (coolest name ever!) on the latest episode of Sales is NOT a Dirty Word.

Listen in to discover how to:

  • Get the best version of people by giving them permission to be different without judgment
  • Show up powerfully in every sales conversation
  • Create your life by being aware of what’s directing your behavior (because oftentimes we can get triggered as sellers in a sales conversations and take a hard left without realizing it as well!)

If Moon’s life perspective resonates with you and you want to unlock your true potential (while in a paradise in Ecuador!) email her at moon@moonwalkerlife.me
