The Truth About Being a "Natural" at Sales In this episode, Maree Kirkpatrick breaks down one of the biggest myths in business — that some people are naturally good at sales and others aren't. She shares why this belief is holding so many women back and how sales is actually a learnable skill, not a personality trait. Drawing on her 17+ years of experience, Maree explains what really sits behind confident salespeople, why confidence is built through repetition, and how avoiding sales is often rooted in fear of discomfort rather than lack of ability.
