Winning at sales is not just about closing deals, it's about understanding customer needs and building long-term relationships based on trust.

In this episode, I’m sharing insights on how to win at sales by focusing on the customer, emphasizing long-term success, and creating genuine connections.

I’m Ned Phillips, founder of The Sales Movement. With 35 years of experience and over 25,000 sales meetings under my belt, I’ve learned that rapport isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the foundation of every successful sale.

We'll explore how to adopt a customer-first mindset, where the focus is on fulfilling the customer’s needs rather than pushing a product. I’ll share why it is important to let the customer ask about your product and how understanding their needs is key to a successful sale and you'll understand why shouting your product from the rooftops is not how you sell more.
