SHOW NOTES:
My special guest this week is Therese Samudio. Therese has had 10,000 face-to-face sales journalist-style interviews with business owners across the U.S. while selling and teaching others to sell management consulting projects. She is the daughter of a farmer turned super-star insurance salesman father and a community journalist mother. She grew up running insurance sales appointments with her dad and newspaper writing assignments with her mother. What an education! After obtaining a degree in journalism and speech from the University of Minnesota, she worked as an educational and public TV producer and on air performer, including a stint as agriculture producer for South Dakota Public TV.
The author of Don’t Kill the Sale Before You Show Up! (available on Amazon), Therese was inspired to write the book when she noticed repeatedly that the field reps she trained did not do mental preparation before sales interviews or picking up the phone. Almost all just walked in as they were and started talking.
