In this episode, Nick Cegelski, Founder and host of the podcast, "30 minutes to President's Club," discusses how to negotiate and have difficult conversations about sales talks, newsletters, and webinars, exclusively on what salespeople can do, say, or write on that particular day.

In it, we talk about;

1. Seek first to understand before trying to be understood, by using the phrase, "What did you have in mind?"
2. Silence. Bring a cup of tea to your calls for strategic pauses.
3. If you sense hesitation, call out on it.
