About the episode:
In this episode, Michael and Haley dive into the realities of selling in service-based industries, exploring why buyers often mislead sellers and how having a solid process puts you on equal footing with prospects. They discuss the importance of being gutsy enough to run your own sales process, why sales managers need to get out of the field to make real observations, and how being wildly curious beats trying to convince people to buy.
