Emotional and Social Intelligence, Blake Hudson _ Brand Manager, Victory Lap, Terry Arbaugh, SEACOMP

In this special episode of The Stories Of Selling Human Podcast we are for the very first time joined by two guests, introducing a new dynamic to the show.

Blake Hudson is a Brand Manager at Victory Lap. Victory Lap trains future and current sales leaders through our virtual bootcamps, corporate training programs, and partnerships with educational institutions. They also team up with businesses to make sure that they are hiring and retaining the best people for their sales teams.

Terry Arbaugh is the Vice President of Sales & Marketing at SEACOMP, a company specializing in electronics manufacturing, design engineering, and electronic components for products in consumer, industrial, and medical industries.

Together they co-host a Clubhouse event "Emotional In$ELLigence", discussing EQ related topics combined with practical and tactical sales advice.

We focus on emotional intelligence as the ability to recognize one’s emotions and the emotions of others and to manage those emotions to achieve more effective results. Developing and utilizing it allows us to promote and share the spirit of change, leadership and compassion. Knowing how to approach and connect with people aids understanding and builds respect.

The ability to demonstrate emotional and social intelligence helps strengthen relationships, reduce stress and anxiety and increase understanding in a time where meeting goals and expectations is often valued more than people.

Key moments:

03:10 - Emotional and social intelligence. How to develop and apply it?

12:52 - Universal human traits and the language of love. Are we all driven by the same things?

17:50 - Utilizing your human skills in your sales career.

27:00 - Tips and advice for developing self-awareness, sympathy and emotional intelligence.
