Staying Grounded in Sales Selling Tens of Millions - Brandon Fluharty, VP of Strategic Account Solutions, LivePerson

Summary:

Brandon Fluharty is the VP of Strategic Account Solutions at LivePerson. He is a senior individual contributor for the organization focused on acquiring top tier, strategic enterprise accounts by enabling a major digital transformation centered around helping brands more easily communicate with their customers and employees at scale. He also uses his active role as a Strategic SaaS Seller to create a personal brand and content that helps elite sales professionals learn from successes and failures.

In his work he puts focus on avoiding burnout to achieve optimal results consistently, because, as he says, he fell into the trap of needing to hustle and grind to get to the top like many others in Enterprise SaaS sales.

This episode, you'll learn how someone selling over $10M in revenue a year stays grounded, how the money doesn't effect his approach, and how to structure your philosophy of sales to sustain you for the long term.

Key Moments:

4:00 - Why should kids look up to sales as much as professions like teachers, doctors, lawyers?

6:15 - Brandon's first conscious sale as a kid

15:05 - Human qualities in sales

21:05 - Developing an "Operating System" for consistent success. Avoiding burnout.

33:20 - Staying grounded, how to handle stress and sales tips for sales people and non-sales individuals

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.
