Listen "Knock. Smile. Connect. — Lessons from Sales and Life with Jamaal Mullings"
Episode Synopsis
Our podcast conversations are not scripted; we go with the flow. And in this episode, even though we started about managing a large group of people, and how to keep people accountable, we transitioned into another big topic in difficult conversations that many people struggle with or have a bad feeling about - sales.
Whether you're leading a team, building your own business, or just trying to get your ideas heard, you are dealing with sales, rejection and possible conflict. Join us today, with Jamaal Mullings, to get inspired, re-motivated to persevere and take that next step, and start again, even when you had a streak of "bad luck" and rejections.
