I’ve said it before: I’m a big believer in life-long learning. With a very on-the-go lifestyle, I’ve come to enjoy and depend on podcasts as part of my own professional development toolkit.
As I launched The Modern Seller, I’ve also been able to “give back” to the podcast community as a guest on some of the top sales podcasts and leadership podcasts. It’s a role I’ve enjoyed, as I’ve had the opportunity to chat with other industry thought leaders and share some of the sales strategies I’ve learned and developed that can help others accelerate their sales results.
For today’s post, I’m sharing a roundup of seven of my top recent sales podcast appearances. For a library of all my podcast appearances, visit the podcast resource page. I also encourage you to subscribe to these podcasts. They publish regularly with a variety of exciting guests and informative topics.
