Summary:

If you've ever caught even a few minutes of the award winning TV series "Shark Tank", where entrepreneurs are seeking investment from the likes of Mark Cuban, Daymon John, Barbara Corcoran, Kevin O'Leary, and Robert Herjavec, then you know how nerve racking it can be and you see how there's only a short amount of time to get people to buy in to you. Meghan Reilly and her sister Sarah Nuse pitched the Sharks on their franchise dance business and they did extensive research on them. In this episode, you'll learn from a business owner how she distinguishes her business on personal impact, how to get people to buy in to you quickly, and the definition of what action really means. All from the perspective of a successful entrepreneur.

About the Podcast

Sell By Being Human
We all want to be heard, seen, and understood. This podcast shares stories of how all humans sell just by being great humans.
I believe that all people want to be heard, seen, and understood. But how do we get people to hear, see, and understand us effectively? Salespeople train themselves on techniques to do this but there are people doing it well without the word sales showing up anywhere in their job title or job description. This podcast is designed to help us hone our human skills, understand subtle similarities between non-sales people and salespeople, and show how we can learn from both groups the next time we need to create change and sell by being human.

You will learn from people throughout all walks of life. Nurses, coaches, janitors, event planners, HR executives, and architects. Just to name a few. We'll contrast them with trained sales people to show similarities and differences. There's an art to human connection and sales. We all do it differently and we can all learn from our every day human interactions.

Please contact me and let me know who you see in your life selling by being human! I want to shine a light on them.
