Lessons We've Learned From Those We've Lost

The Advanced Selling Podcast

Every person you've worked with has a story you probably never asked about — and sometimes you don't find out until it's too late.

In Part 2 of their series on the people of sales, Bill and Bryan honor a handful of people who shaped their careers — a neighbor and airline pilot, a mentor who connected without ego, a customer who never delayed a decision, and a prospect Bryan gave up on too soon. 

Each story carries a lesson you can use this week: ask people about their actual lives, don't wait to reconnect with old friends, decide fast, and don't give up on a prospect after just one or two tries.

It's the 20th anniversary of the show, and Bill and Bryan want to hear from you — send a short voice memo to listener@advancedsellingpodcast.com for their September anniversary celebration.
