Why Tapping Into Potential Relates To Sales - Robert Hamilton Owens, Speaker, Endurance Athelete

Summary:

Robert Hamilton Owens is an international corporate business consultant and inspirational speaker. For more than 25 years in over 30 nations, he’s been speaking before audiences on leadership and management topics, free enterprise, and democracy issues. Some of Robert’s past clients include the Navy SEALs, New York Jets, The Baltimore Ravens, the Philadelphia Eagles, and the Philippines Joint Chiefs of Staff.

Robert was described by Triathlete Magazine as “The Most Interesting Ironman in the World.” He has completed the “300 of Sparta” 8 day 238 mile run-climb trek from Sparta to Thermopylae Greece, became the oldest finisher ever in SEALFIT’s Navy SEAL “Kokoro 50 Hour nonstop Hell Week Challenge” and has recently finished his 12th Ironman challenge.

In this episode we talk about how one of the most important people you'll ever have to move is yourself. In sales we are tasked with changing others but how do we wrestle with moving ourselves? Robert gives little pieces of advice on how to reach your full potential, and how others helped him reach his. He'll make you look at potential in a different way and how tapping into your own potential and the potential of others is absolutely a sales skill worth mastering.

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.
