20 NOV 2025 · In this episode, I sit down with Steve Radford, a sales training expert who has pulled his 25 years of sales experience into a book - How to Sell: Everything you need to think, know and do to have greater sales conversations.
As AI becomes ever more pervasive, your ability to have conversations that customers find enjoyable, insightful and productive becomes ever more important. We discuss this issue and the following 3 guiding principles within the book:
- How you need to think - six fundamental sales mindsets
- What you need to know - five essential areas of sales knowledge
- What you need to do – seven steps for greater sales conversations
