In this episode of “What I Wish I’d Known About Sales” brought to you by Lead Forensics on The B2B Sales Playbook Podcast, we’re joined by Fred Copestake. Fred is a renowned sales trainer, founder of Brindis, and the author of acclaimed books including Selling Through Partnering Skills, Ethical Selling and Hybrid Selling. With a career built on moving sales away from the high-pressure tactics of the past toward a collaborative, ‘partnering’ mindset, Fred joins us to discuss the subtle evolution of the industry. We dive into why the ‘gift of the gab’ is a myth, the importance of aligning your sales career with your personal values, and why the most successful salespeople today act as a guide rather than the hero of the story.
