Entrepreneurs worry about showing expertise, building trust, and leveraging authority. Sales conversations need these things for entrepreneurs to give valuable service to their ideal clients.

Anyone in any personality can be successful in their sales conversations. Nikki explains how to find the thing about you that makes you special, and place strategy alongside that.
