Episode 5 - Never Judge a Book By Its Cover with Rick Selby
Every sales professional has that one story that's almost too wild to believe, and let me tell you, Rick's tales from the trenches of sales don't disappoint. With a journey as dynamic as the landscape of sales itself, Rick shares the ins and outs of his career evolution, from his hands-on beginnings to his rise in the post-2008 financial crash world. In the latest episode, we unpack Rick's move from the health club's busy floor to his home turf in the home improvement industry. It's a ride through the ups and downs of sales that proves no matter where you start, the right mix of grit and integrity can land you success.
We recount one of the most bizarre sales encounters with "Bill," who prefers to go by "Lonnie," and the lesson it taught us about never prejudging a client. This episode covers the chess game that is a sales strategy, highlighting the importance of persistence and the art of sealing the deal with a personal touch. This episode isn't just about crazy stories; it's a masterclass in the sales strategies that can either break or make a client relationship.
