#258 – It’s About Relationships, Not Selling | Mike Estep
“Why aren’t my sales conversations leading to more deals?” 🤔
Sales Are Relationships, Not Transactions.

Too often, sales professionals focus on pitching rather than truly listening to what their customers need. The best salespeople don’t just sell; they understand, connect, and serve.
Mike Estep, Chief Client Officer at BlackPoint Cyber unpacks the power of relationship-driven sales. Forget high-pressure tactics.
Mike shares why listening more and selling less leads to stronger, more successful client relationships.
