244: No matter the Industry, Sales is Sales, with Lance Tyson

Whether it's the sports industry, marketing industry, or insurance industry sales is sales.  We have a special guest—Lance Tyson, CEO of the Tyson Group, joins us! Lance and George discuss how now more than ever buyers are becoming an expert before reaching out to a salesperson. Lance confirms our hypothesis that as salespeople, we need to be the trusted advisor, have and build rapport with our clients, and having credibility. Lance explains what it means to be a gritty salesperson, in a good way.  Lance Tyson began his career more than twenty years ago with Dale Carnegie Training, where he built the most successful sales operation in North America. In 2010, Lance formed PRSPX, where he transitioned from trainer, to partner, to key business advisor for such clients as the Cleveland Cavaliers, Columbus Blue Jackets, and McGohan Brabender, among others. In 2017, Lance founded his current venture, Tyson Group, with a keen focus on coaching, training, and consulting with sales leaders and their teams to better compete in the midst of complex business environments.  Tyson Group received an honorable mention on Selling Power’s 2018 list of Top 20 Sales Training Companies, and currently works with a long list of premiere professional sports organizations including TopGolf, the Dallas Cowboys, Miami Dolphins, and the San Francisco 49’ers, among others. Lance is the author of Selling is an Away Game: Close Business and Complete in a Complex World.
