I think you sell from the heart when they know you. And you've got integrity in the kind of man or woman you are when you show up in their environment.”Importance of coaching and the need for training for sales managers - Marc Clausen: “I think one of the mistakes that a lot of sales managers make is they do really great cadence calls. They know how to inspect, well, who's the buyer? What's the budget? When's it going to close? Who's your competition? What's their thing look like? And as sales reps feel beat up quite often, they get into the end of the month, the end of the quarter, the end of the year, and they're trying to deliver their sales plan.” Connect with Marc Clausen in the link below:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/marcclausen/Learn more about Darrell and Larry: Darrell's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darrellamy/Larry's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/larrylevine1992/Website: https://www.sellingfromtheheart.net/ Got a video about how you sell from the heart?
