From the showroom floor to the sales desk, this episode explores how high-EQ teams close more deals, handle objections with finesse, and turn skeptics into loyal customers. You’ll hear real-world scenarios, practical strategies, and a few Skippy-style mic drops about how kindness under pressure leads to better conversations—and better commissions.
