They are fundamental skills that can help you attract investors, sell products, build brands, inspire teams, and trigger movements. Despite all the processes, lingo, methodologies, and corporate rhetoric, sales—no matter the industry—has never truly been about selling business-to-business (B2B) or business-to-customer (B2C). Selling always has and always will be done human-to-human."

That's kind of a big shift into the way that we used to sell versus what we need to do to gain access today."

Pick one area of your life that you want to get better today, invest 20 minutes per day, and make it better. I think ongoing education's a must for sales professionals. If you don't like to read in the morning or before bed, watch a video, listen to podcasts, you've got some great ones, on your commute. That 20 minutes per day turns into 10 hours per month and five days a year that you can devote to bettering yourself. It's just time well spent and it's going to separate you from the amateurs over time."

People aren't getting meetings, customers want to talk to you about what they already know, they don't want to talk to you about what they don't know, or what they're not buying from you. It's a big challenge. The solution to the problem is very counterintuitive. The the customer's willingness to listen is far more important than your ability to communicate."

MICHELLE'S TIP: "We can maintain 150 stable social relationships at a time. That's called Dunbar's number. If you can understand and be intentional about who are the 150 people who can continually move your goals forward, you can go actually build relationships with those folks because you have the time to do it, because you're so clear on such a small number. When you do that, then you have an exponential effect that keeps building over time."

Seeking to understand your counterpart is maybe the most important thing you need to be able to master in sales. The more curiosity, the better you are in making those connections. MICHELLE'S TIP: "When looking for your next opportunity, think about what's important to you. You're interviewing the company just as much as they're interviewing you. What do you want out of that next step? Where do you want your career to go and then does that company align with that? Are you meeting with those fantastic leaders like we have here and having just those honest dialogues about what is important to you?"

Figure out how they got to where they got and then take their advice. If somebody suggests you do something that you really look up to or admire, go do it. Take those next steps.

You're amazing, be confident, don't be afraid."

Work very clear and be transparent on what you're good at and who you serve, and who you don't, what your difference is and where your difference is valued."

If you don't believe your boss has your back, then you need a new boss. Your boss can make or break your career. If you are clear with them and you trust them, and you trust that they're advocating for you behind your back, then that's great. If your boss is not giving you feedback, does not have a clear promotion path for you, and does not seem interested in your career aspiration or anything else, you need a new boss."

We have a great opportunity in our professional lives to make a big difference. My call to action for allies out there is, make someone feel supported.

If you're a man looking to help the women in your organization, engage. We have something we say, "Hey, meet the market where the market wants to be." I think that's equally true for employees. You have to meet employees where employees want to be. But you can't take action unless you're listening first, if you're engaging first. If you do that, then you're going to make progress."

JUDY'S TIP: "One of the things that I see is lots of times, women in particular are reluctant to put themselves out there on LinkedIn and in social media in general. Part of that is the haters and the trolls, because we all know that women are so subject to haters and trolls, and that they can be absolutely awful. But you can't make a really big difference in the world without taking some risks and without putting yourself out there. When you have the courage to take that big step and say, "I'm going to do it," it can be worth it. LIZ'S TIP: "Just get started. People get analysis for us when it comes to LinkedIn. They think about posting, they debate, they craft a post, they're editing it, everything has to be perfect. The more that you practice, the better that you become. It could bring you the world if you just get started with it."

My follow up is called CPR, keeping the client alive. It's consistent, persistent, the big word, respectful follow up. You got to do the follow ups. Two percent of successful salespeople follow up past the 13th touch. Just think about those numbers. Most salespeople stop around the 5th. You're leaving so much money on the table, so much opportunity and so many referrals that you could be getting."

You've got to be professional, deeper voice, even for female, deeper voice, straightforward. I think presentation skills across all is probably the biggest takeaway."

Check in with that person today, just reach out and say, "Hey, you know what? I'm thinking about you, hope everything is going well and if you need any help from me, just let me know." I think sometimes we get so caught up in our own world that we tend to forget about others.

Same thing with networking. Tactics don't work if you don't have the right foundation, the right strategy. When it comes to creating a strategy for LinkedIn, a mindset for LinkedIn, the first thing I want to know is what is your plan? Who are the people that you're targeting? Then what is the promise that you need to deliver to those people so that they help you get to your plan?"

We block our blessings every single day, every single time we have a conversation. I want to ask every single person, the next time you have a conversation where you feel a little bit hesitant, a little bit afraid, a little fear of like, I'm not sure that I should do that, give yourself permission to do it." SHELLY'S TIP: "I challenge you to make three asks of some kind and that can be in your business or your personal life.

Asking for three referrals or three reviews or three testimonials each day will change your sales career."

Doesn't tell you anything else to say. Templates are very different to frameworks. People always mix them up. A template is basically everything that you're going to say, and you change a couple of words, email, by email, that's it. You might change the name of the person, you might change their title."

One is the internal perspective. If you are facing this personally, to get quiet, to really do some introspective thinking about what matters most to you right now so that you can get clarity. Often when we're overwhelmed or burned out, there's total lack of clarity. So just settling yourself down and getting a clearer sense of what matters to you most now is important. From the employer perspective, they can help facilitate that process to give employees openings to have these kinds of conversations that they really need to be having ideally with their leaders or management so that they can support, drive, become more aware of some of the issues that employees are facing. There's a line of questioning that you can do, there are assessments that you can use to incorporate all kinds of tools that can help you gain that awareness and clarity that's needed when you get to that point."

Because again, I was just selling one gig at a time, and it went from that to people running to the back of the room buying. I at first felt, Fred, "I can't do this," because I kept bombing. I would hire another coach and I would learn a little bit and a little bit until I hired somebody and paid a lot of money. Like, "Take me through this process and teach me how to do it," because it is a system. You still put your emotions, your heart in with your education, but there's a process to this, and I just hung on. I wouldn't give up. Then I just kept believing, "I'm going to learn this. I'm going to learn it because I'm not going to quit." If you're stuck right now and you're doubting yourself, just hang in there.

What ends up happening is there's so much promotion, there's so much auto marketing, there's so much stuff we send out that just ends up being noise. I've always been about more from less, how do you get more out of less people? How do you get more out of less activities? How do you get more out of a conversation? I can tell you right now with absolute certainty that when people connect, they convert. I would tell everybody that, ask different questions.

Help them in the best way that you can, even if it means not your product or service. What I'm getting out there is selling is the transfer of trust. People do business with people they trust, and they'll trust the people that go to help them, even if it means not them. That's the key."
