The Power of Shifting Your Focus in Sales to Giving, Bob Burg, Author, The Go-Giver

Summary:

Bob Burg is a Hall of Fame keynote speaker on referrals, relationship building, and genuine influence. He is the coauthor of the international bestseller, “The Go-Giver” and founder of The Go-Giver Success Alliance.

His message is all about shifting your focus from getting to giving (giving meaning constantly and consistently providing immense value to others) is not only personally fulfilling; it’s also the most financially profitable way of doing business.

For the past 30 years Bob shared his powerful concept in front of audiences ranging from 50 to 15,000 at hundreds of events, conferences and professional gatherings around the world. This includes sharing the stage with top business leaders, Olympic athletes and even a former U.S. President.

IN this episode you will learn a new way of what you give in a sales situation. Every sales dynamic contains a measure of giving. When we look at a sales through a lens of what we can get or what a client can receive, we lose sight of such an important human skill: giving. There is a difference between active and passive giving. Bob teaches you how to look at defining what you give in sales and how the act of giving can quickly help you become remembered by who you sell to.

Key Moments:

02:57 - Selling Literally Means Giving

3:49 - Simple definition of sales. Discovering what someone does want, what they need, and helping them go get it.

6:18 - How to shift your focus to giving without losing sight of what you want to get.

09:00 - Selling is not about being nice. The laws of success.

14:42 - Story of a roofer who implemented the principles of the Go-Giver to grow his business during the pandemic

17:05 - The difference between a passive giver and a go-giver.

18:23 - Definition of value vs price. The desirability of a thing.

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.
