830: Not Talking About Sales, with Jill Konrath

On today's episode, Jill Konrath. Usually I have a few sentences introducing the guest. But, I’m thinking, do I really need to do that with Jill? She’s been one of the leading sales experts of the past 20 years. She’s authored multiple best-selling books. She’s a fabulous speaker. And, quite frankly, she was my role model as I got into this business of writing and speaking about sales. Now when I asked Jill to come back on this show, I had to make her a promise that we wouldn’t talk about sales. Or sales advice. No “how-to” stuff. Instead, we talk about Jill. Her career. Her life. Her successes. Her work in helping support and enable generations of women to pursue careers in sales. As much as we can learn about sales from the “how-to” tips and techniques, we can equally learn from the examples of successful people in our field. People who have taken chances to succeed on their own terms. And who have inspired others to do similarly.
