Having had high hopes of becoming a pilot, Barney Stinton never meant to become a salesperson. However, 15 years later, he now works at the top level of sales with global names across many industries. His sales career began shortly after graduation with a Eureka moment whilst racing cars as a gamer. He ditched the game and landed his first sales job selling Ferraris for Joe Macari, a job that combined his passion for cars with his skills (then unknown) in sales. Host Paul Owen asks Barney questions about the lessons learnt in sales of course but also about the fun he’s had, the places he’s been and the people he’s met through his interesting and successful career.
*Series 1 of our podcast - Episodes 1-24 - was branded differently and so might initially confuse you if you start listening anytime from March 2021. A quick explanation for you: the first series was based on the bestselling book of our company founder, Paul Owen: SECRET SKILL. HIDDEN CAREER. The premise of the book and podcast series 1 is this: 3.5 million Brits work in sales and almost every job requires sales skills at times, yet we don’t teach people how to sell. Not only do we fail to teach it but we fail to introduce it as a business skill, a life skill or a career because our culture considers sales a dirty word. Based on a bestselling book, this podcast shatters the myths around sales and introduces everyone to sales as a skill to use in business and in life, and to consider it as a potential career.
For series 2, the podcast was re-branded to better reflect future content around sales leadership and how it enables you to grow your business.*
