There's a pattern that often appears in sales organizations: someone isn't performing, and the response is frustration, blame, or eventually, a conversation about whether they still belong on the team. What rarely happens is an honest look at whether... more

  • More Than Sales

    Been a fan and advocate of Dan’s point of view for a while now because he’s invested in the foundational mechanics of developing a high performance mindset as the essential building blocks for sales success. He resists the tractor beam pull of superficial tactics and instead makes the case for a deeper psychological assessment of buyers and yourself. It’s a cerebral approach that is translated and presented in practical use cases.

  • More Than Sales!

    Been listening to Breaking Sales podcasts non stop! Turns out the non conventional mindset proposed by Dan Lappin is also effective in daily life and other types of relationships including the one with yourself. The podcasts are engaging and thought provoking. The guests bring real life examples of the concept. It’s a human approach to sales offered in an affable way. Been recommending the podcast to friends not in the sales world and they enjoy it just as much !
