Energy Behind Women Selling with Annette Lackovic
Traditional sales process teaches asking question and navigating objections, but, it doesn’t encourage depth and a genuine connection. In this episode of Influence By Design, we discuss how to have your customers buy without the hard sell with Annette Lackovic.
Annette is not your conventional business mentor; she’s living proof that basic business rules are made to be broken and recreated. She helps clients step into their true brilliance by unlocking their greatest potential, transforming communication skills, and helping businesses thrive financially.

Mari Vasan’s story is uniquely inspirational. Her youth wasn’t an easy one and she made a promise to herself to find her way out of hardship.

These days, Mari celebrates over a decade of experience working with talented women who lost their zest for life as they neared middle age, she created the “Supercharge Your Midlife Transformation” program, where she takes women from feeling stuck and exhausted, as if the best part of their life is over, to reconnecting to their magic, supercharging their confidence, and sharing their gifts, so they can make the second half of their lives even better than the first.
In response to the worldwide mental health crisis, Mari also started a nonprofit platform, www.MindGift.org, which offers free mental health tools (such as hypnosis audios) from thought leaders and top trainers in the transformation industry, to anyone, anywhere.
Forever the trailblazer, Mari is every woman’s biggest advocate and coach for finding their best selves.
