Selling with confidence isn’t about being pushy — it’s about people, performance, and purpose.

In this episode of The Rural Sales Show, St John Craner heads across the ditch to Sydney to chat with Yvonne Hilsz, an award-winning sales trainer and coach who helps teams sell with confidence and leaders lead with clarity.

Together, they explore what really drives sales success — from mindset and motivation to coaching, connection, and confidence. Yvonne shares her journey from hospitality to high-performance sales training, revealing how trust, rapport, and great questioning underpin every successful sale.

You’ll learn:

• Why confidence is the cornerstone of consistent sales performance
• How to coach your team instead of just managing them
• The difference between high and low performance types — and how to lead each one
• Why mindset and self-awareness matter more than scripts or KPIs
• How to build rapport that leads to long-term customer relationships
• Practical ways to recognise top performers and lift underperformers

Yvonne and St John unpack the psychology of selling, the art of coaching, and the human side of leadership — lessons that apply whether you’re leading a rural sales team or running your own business.

🎧 Listen now to discover how shifting your mindset and coaching approach can transform how you lead, sell, and build trust with every client.
