Selling is Serving – Chaminda Tennakoon

from Connected Leaders Academy

Connected Leaders Academy Selling is more than just making money; it's about helping people. When you sell something, you're not just trying to close a deal. You're trying to understand what the customer needs and provide a solution that makes their life better. Think of selling as building a relationship. It's about listening to the customer's problems, answering their questions, and offering the best products or services to solve their issues. When you do this, the customer trusts you and sees you as someone who genuinely wants to help, not just someone trying to make a quick sale. Selling as serving means you care about the customer's happiness even after they buy from you. This includes helping them use the product, solving any problems they might have, and staying in touch to make sure they're satisfied. This approach makes customers happy and encourages them to come back and tell others about you. In simple terms, selling is not just about the transaction. It's about adding value to the customer's life. When you focus on serving, customers are more likely to trust you, buy from you again, and recommend you to others. This way, both you and the customer benefit, leading to a better business relationship and long-term success.

Solving for Change MOBIA Technology Innovations Solving for Change welcomes business and technology leaders to share stories of bold business transformation within complex organizations. In an era when technology and markets are changing around businesses, the key to staying competitive is to evolve in response to those changes.  MOBIA’s Mike Reeves and Marc LeBlanc investigate business transformation, deconstructing the challenges, ambitions, and market disruptions that drive companies to embark on transformation journeys, and exploring their unique approaches to achieving meaningful outcomes.  What sparks leaders to pursue business transformation? How do they overcome the challenges along the way? What are the keys to creating enduring change?  Through in-depth conversations with business and technology leaders, Mike and Marc answer these questions and explore how businesses evolve by pulling four key transformation levers: people, process, technology, and culture. NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in It's All Connected Ali Rodgers A self improvement podcast that teaches you how to guide yourself to your best life.

Gain insights, perspectives, and invaluable lessons that challenge traditional notions of what it means to lead.
