Later in 2008, he launched Story Seekers to assist technical professionals such as engineers and finance experts in mastering the art of storytelling to create impactful emotional connections with customers.

Throughout the episode, Mike shares his sales philosophy, highlighting the role of the salesperson as a solution facilitator rather than just a persuader. He stresses the importance of emotional intelligence  and the strategic use of storytelling to inspire followers and build genuine relationships with customers. Join Bill and Mike in this captivating conversation about the transformative power of narrative in business leadership and sales strategies.
