In this episode JP talks to global speaker, author and consultant, Amanda Bracks, all about the different layers of sales. As always with JP, there are candid personal reflections and interesting rabbit holes explored. They cover the nature of sales and selling, how it’s evolved over time, the essence of good selling, marketing and branding, why some of us are uncomfortable with the whole topic of sales, what we need to know in the technological era about ‘putting ourselves out there’, as well as what we need to remember has never changed in the nature of connecting over a common goal.
