Sales Maven

You’re Right & Now You’ve Lost A Client


Listen Later

“Do you like to be right?” Nikki is excited to bring you this episode of the Sales Maven podcast. She shares some stories, and some techniques for you to think about in your conversations. You may find some new ways to think about your communication and have some new language to go with it.

“Sometimes being right isn’t the best thing.” It’s all about the relationship, and whether being right is helping the relationship or hurting it. You don’t want to push clients or customers away by shaming them because, as Brene Brown says, “If shaming worked, she would be the first person in line to do it.” 

This idea of being right, does it really serve you or does it cost you clients? Nikki wants you to start to notice the places where you feel compelled to point out where you are right, and someone else is wrong, catch yourself and decide how it serves the relationship. Ready to learn more?
