  • Great podcast that covers all components of selling

    Alex has a great variety of guests from each stage and component of selling. He gets his guest to open up about their work and themselves. Like how he has people from marketing, pre-sales, sales people, and sales management on his show. He gets into how these different departments interact as part of a solution for a client.

  • solid hosting and interesting talent

    Just checked out episode 46 and it’s probably what every person who’s ever gone ’ick’ to sales needs to hear - and I say that as a person who has spent many years feeling ‘ick’ about being sold to, ‘working with sales’ and every variation between.

    Alex does a solid job hosting his talent who bring interesting stories worth listening to.

  • Influencing change

    I am retired from jobs in teaching, being a paralegal, and doing research in education. I never had a job in sales, but In each job I had, I was influencing and persuading individuals to believe or do something.

    This podcast will prove the myriad ways people influence change in their job and in their lives.

  • I’m in sales??? IM IN SALES!

    I’m a mom, a step-mom, a wife, a teacher...and prior to listening, I never would’ve considered myself “in sales.” Alex has utilized this podcast to inform anyone whose “job” it is to influence change. If there is anything I do in all of my roles, at its essence is influencing change and “selling” my perspective. WE ALL influence change!! Looking forward to the multitude of perspectives that this podcast promises to deliver, and positively impacting those around me in each role that I play.
