What does it really take to succeed in rural sales?

In this feature episode of The Sales Podcast with Wes Shaeffer, St John Craner shares his journey from a corporate marketing background to becoming one of Australasia’s leading rural sales trainers. He explains why rural selling demands a different mindset, one grounded in psychology, consistency, and service over pushy sales tactics.

You’ll learn:

  • Why referrals are the lifeblood of rural business growth

  • How to build daily sales routines that create consistency and resilience

  • The psychology behind selling in rural markets — and why mindset matters most

  • Why the most important sale is the one you make to yourself first

  • How to move from selling to serving, and build trust that lasts

  • Practical strategies for finding clients and deepening relationships

If you’re in rural sales, agribusiness, or B2B markets, this episode gives you a clear blueprint for building a referral-driven, service-led business that thrives long term.

🎧 Listen now to discover how routines, psychology, and service can transform your rural sales success.
