"Sales is not something you do to somebody; it's something you do with somebody." Sales is about the other person, and at times, you need to become an expert at understanding the multiple perspectives involved in a sales discussion. So listen for Nikki's strategies on sales mindset and perspectives and much more on this Sales Maven Show episode.

There are three perspectives that are critical that allow you to put yourself in this place and look at things from these different perspectives because when you can do that, new information is revealed to you. The first of the three perspectives is self, that's how you show up in a conversation. The second perspective is other: the person you are in a conversation with, and the third is the observer, the eagle-eye view of the conversation. Learning what these three perspectives do and how they show up in a conversation and how to use it to your advantage can make it easier to earn someone's business. Listen as Nikki does a deep dive into each of these perspectives and how to use them to your advantage.

"Learning how to move through perspectives is one of those things that will take your sales conversations to the next level." Be careful about being stuck in one, you don't always want to be in the other perspective, it's not a good place to stay. You also don't want to get stuck in the observer perspective, it can be dangerous because you're not engaging the way the person needs, you're not showing up in that self version that person needs to decide to hire you.
