Sell or Die with Jeffrey Gitomer

No matter where you work in a company, there's always the bottom line of profit. Whatever you can do to add to that profit can only make you more of an asset to a business. 

Our guest Brad Sugars, CEO of ActionCoach and author of the brand new book Pulling Profits Out of a Hat: Adding Zeros to Your Company Isn't Magic, is an expert in finding smart strategies to maximize those profits.

Maximizing profits can be a simple as taking a step back and re-evaluating your sales processes. Habits that you perform everyday could actually be limiting your profit potential. Understanding those habits is the first step to eliminating them and maximizing your wealth.

This episode is brought to you by, The Why and The Buy, hosted by Jeff Bajorek and Christie Walters. They interview entrepreneurs and sales experts to find out the why behind their success. Listen on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.
