Today I'm joined on the show by Nikki Rausch, CEO and Founder of Sales Maven, an organization dedicated to authentic selling. Nikki integrates her 25+ years of experience selling to such prestigious organizations as The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, and NASA, sharing with her clients the same approaches that led to her shattering sales records in her industry and receiving multiple “top producer” awards along the way. A business degree from the University of Washington and her master certification in Neuro-Linguistic Programming mesh perfectly to create a powerful foundation upon which Nikki built tremendous sales skills and now provides enormous benefits for her clients. An engaging and sought-after speaker, she shares the secrets of her sales success through illuminating keynote addresses and business-changing workshops.  Nikki’s three popular books are available on Amazon. And her podcast, Sales Maven, can be found on your favorite podcast platform. I asked Nikki to share her advice on how HR-related consultants can run better sales meetings. We discussed: How to prepare for a meeting: milestones, structure, frame. Asking the right questions helps you put together a proposal for your client The trap of providing free advice How to build the five-step process of the selling Mistakes to avoid in a meeting: projecting limiting beliefs and "hallucinating" How asking the right question can earn you business And much more.
