Are You Journey Minded?

/in , , , , /by

On this episode of The 2X Podcast, Bill gives some ideas on how you can become Journey Minded in the sales process. This is how you take your prospect from here (where they are) to there (where they want to be).

In a world where prospects are demanding more and different, it’s really easy to become obscure and irrelevant as a sales professional. That’s why it’s so important to constantly be adapting to change.

One of the biggest areas people struggle in is how they see themselves in the customer journey.
