“And I always encourage people to get to “no” fast. Don’t be afraid of no.” – Jac White [00:17:25]
At some point, we all get this idea in our head about what it means to be good at sales. It probably looks like being forceful, pushy, and maybe even a little exploitative. And those are all reasons that women entrepreneurs tend to shy away from sales, to their detriment.
Jac White is here to turn that idea of sales on its head. Jac is the master of what she calls “relationship sales” and she believes that women are naturally good at it.
In today’s episode, she’s giving us advice for how to get started in relationship sales, how to work with your competitors in a way that benefits you both, and why women should lean into their natural talents and instincts when it comes to building and cultivating relationships.
