Daniel H. Pink: 7 Questions in 10 Minutes - The New World of Sales & Selling

Bestselling author Daniel H. Pink answers seven questions about pitching, selling and closing for the 21st Century workforce.

Question 1 - Contrary to popular belief, you say that extroverts are not the best sales people. Why?

Question 2 - What are the key distinctions between Problem-Solvers & Problem-Finders?

Question 3 - How is the relationship between buyers and sellers changing?

Question 4 - What is your response to those of us in the creative economy who think 'I could never be in sales'?

Question 5 - What are the ABCs of selling?

Question 6 - What should the business community take away from 'To Sell Is Human'?

Question 7 - Can you recommend any exercises that companies can use to improve sales?
