Show Notes

I have to admit that I was a bit of a fangirl on this week’s episode and you will no doubt pick up on that as you listen. If you were to ask me who the #1 person is that I listen to in order to improve my own skills around selling, it’s this week’s guest, Nikki Rausch. I’ve listened to every podcast episode, I’ve read her books, and I’m a member of her membership program, The Sales Maven Society. As CEO of Sales Maven, an organization dedicated to authentic selling, Nikki has the unique ability to transform the misunderstood process of selling into something that not only feels better, but also gets better results. 

Nikki herself has shattered sales records in many industries, receiving multiple top producer awards and has experience selling to such prestigious organizations as The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, and NASA. But she’s also been a board member for an organization where she’s had to sell sponsorship and she knows what it’s like to sell membership in her own business, as well as for the clients she serves.  Nikki’s work has truly been transformational for me and I know you’re going to love her warmth, approachability, and expertise as well.
