[Video] Power of 3 Interview: Daniel Pink

According to The New York Best Selling Author Daniel Pink, 1 out of 9 americans are in sales, and the other 8 are engaged in what he calls “non-sales selling”.  The truth is that we are all in sales but some of us are using sales strategies from 15 years ago that is preventing us from being successful. In this really cool (and eye opening) interview, Daniel Pink reveals with us:

  • Why we are all in sales
  • Why sales is not what it used to be
  • How to use “attunement” to sell more effectively
  • How to improve your “buoyancy”
  • Why getting “pumped up” before a sales call can cost you
  • And much more
