The Skills You Need in Sales AND Relationships with Anna Krueger, Part 1

We love having experts on our podcast who not only know their field but understand the importance of relationship-building. Anna Krueger is that expert. She has mentored almost 40,000 people! You are not going to want to miss this podcast as she shares some of her incredible wisdom. No matter who Anna is coaching, the first thing she teaches revolves around creating “digging” questions and going deep into a topic that is important to the person you’re having a conversation with. Don’t just ask a half-dozen unrelated, quick-answer questions. Start digging in with one open-ended question, then build off the answer to your next “digging” question.  Asking a lot of questions can seem like a waste of time, but a longer conversation leads to quicker results and stronger relationships.  We think Anna’s tips and techniques are game changers, not only in sales, but in all relationships and we encourage you to take the time to listen today.  At the Grounding and Growing Leadership podcast, we believe that everyone is a leader and that leadership starts with you. Join Tara Gronhovd, Gallup Certified Clifton Strengths Coach and e2Grow High Performing Team Coach, and Pamela Nelson, Certified Leadership Coach, Counselor and Spiritual Director, as we navigate conversations to grow you and your teams on your leadership journeys. CliftonStrengths (aka Strengthsfinder) is an assessment that is based on positive psychology and measures core motivations. It’s an extremely powerful tool for personal and professional development as well as improving team dynamics. You will hear us reference Strengths frequently in our podcasts.
