/in , , , , , /by

OK, so you don’t like my headline, huh? Well, I did it because in this episode, I address seven questions that I received following our last podcast.

These questions tell me a story about the kinds of issues sales people face when communicating premium value. And I like to think of the resistance we meet as a ‘headwind.’

Consequently, this episode of The 2X Podcast helps you begin to remedy that.
