The Sales Revolution

The Sales Revolution

The sales process is broken. What’s required is a revolution. A revolution to engage with other people, whether they be direct customers, employees, or the greater business community. Leading the charge is Ingrid Maynard, Founder and Managing Director of The Sales Doctor. Ingrid’s pathway to Enrichment Philosophy evolves the sales process and mindset, freeing up sales teams to achieve outcomes beyond what they dare to imagine. The Sales Revolution is a podcast which explores these concepts, and introduces other leaders on their approach to business and sales.

It just doesn’t work. Professional services don’t sell in straight lines; they sell in circles. Winning work, delivering work, deepening trust, and uncovering the next opportunity all happen at once.

They are right-sized – aware of both strengths and weaknesses and committed to serving others rather than inflating their image. Ego repels trust, while humility and presence build it.&nbs...
