The Good Advice Podcast: Do Business Better with Blake Binns

Talk About Customer Pains, Not Your Products

Want to sell more? Try talking less about your latest product or service, and focus all the more on the pain points you solve for your customers. We talk about what good selling looks like, despite the circumstances of things you can't control -- like the economy -- in today's episode.
