The Subtle Art of Influence - Taylor Howard, Operations Mgr., H & M

Brief summary of show:

Think back on great managers you've worked for. They were probably people that would influence you to follow them wherever they went or you kept in touch with them as you've moved jobs. That's Taylor Howard. She's a Retail Operations Manager for H and M and she will teach you subtle ways to build influence. We talk about how she intently tries to learn about people on her team and strategies on growing influence without specifically trying for it. Influence will sell people on you over the longterm and Taylor is a great example of how! She sure influenced me to ask her to come on!

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.
