Fortune's Path Podcast

Jim Reeves, a twenty year veteran sales leader in healthcare IT, talks about how the key to effective sales is to have a burning intellectual curiosity to know your customer, how good sales technique is more about question asking and problem solving than manipulation, and how to work with clients who don't trust you. Tom and Jim also talk about how Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning," faith, and daily journaling can cure a bad mood and avoid discouragement and resentment, and why COVID-19 does not absolve us of the necessity to take action and improve what we can, and how to talk to a board when you miss your numbers.

Ronald Webb Jr., product leader, pastor, father, mentor, and veteran difference maker, confesses his love for Tom and his barber, what success means, how to allow our life principles to govern our corporate behavior, what's the right way to communicate with your team and your family, real world examples of customer delight, and the true meaning of servant leadership. Tom gets schooled on that one.
