Defining What A Guide is In Sales - Loy Day, - CEO, The Guide Culture

Summary:

Loy Day is the founder an co-CEO of The Guide Culture. A sales training and consultancy business where he teaches people from all walks of life about a framework that's helped him throughout his entire sales career. Loy started his career as a school teacher and sports coach. He went on to insurance sales where he owned a very successful insurance agency in Georgia. Lloyd built his business on tried and true fundamentals of connecting with people and being authentic in the process. He teaches that framework now to salespeople, entrepreneurs, and even parents. This episode was great. We talk about how to build value as opposed to adding it, the key reasons why people buy, and how to get doubts into the open. If mothers take Lloyd training to be better moms and husbands take it to be better husbands, you want to listen to this one!
