In this episode, I am joined by the brilliant David J.P. Fisher, or D.Fish.
"David is an internationally-recognized keynote speaker, sales trainer, and business coach. He focuses on bringing the human-to-human back into sales, social media, networking, and entrepreneurship.
He is the best-selling author of 12 books on sales, networking, social media, and entrepreneurship. And he is also a prolific contributor to blogs in the sales and marketing space.
His goal is simple: help people become RockStars in their professional lives so that they can have a positive impact on those around them."
He is now the Global Social Selling Lead - Senior Sales Enablement Program Manager for SAS.
David and I have been connected on LinkedIn for a while and have always been inspired by his balanced approach to selling in the modern world. Hence I was delighted when he agreed to be a guest on my podcast.
David cut his teeth in the world of sales, selling door to door, cutlery for Cutco, an American high-end cutlery company - the rest, as they say, is history.
We discuss :
Have the fundamentals of sales changed that much?
We talk about the evolution of technology in sales & marketing and the impact this is having.
With access to data we have today, the importance of being insight-led.
Does the issue of change sit with Sales Leaders?
Are we going back to a full-cycle sales approach?
Why David believes sellers should think and behave like a Sherpa on a mountain.
I also put David on the spot and asked him about his views on Generative AI.
And the fact that David was a rapper...
Thank you, David, for your time and insight on this episode.
