salesperson to succeed in sales engineering. But what if I told you that being pushy, annoying and salesy isn\u2019t the key? In fact, it might even hurt your chances of success.<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to close more deals and sell more without being a jerk or feeling like an idiot, you need to understand that sales is a service. It&#8217;s not just about making money. When done right by a professional, it&#8217;s something you&#8217;re doing for that person, and with them, not to them. My guest today, Jason <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Cutter will teach you how to not only make sales but also build relationships at the same time so everyone wins! And best of all &#8211; no one feels awkward afterward!<\/span><\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jason Cutter is a Sales Success Architect &amp; Keynote Speaker and Author of the book Selling With Authentic Persuasion.
