Ep 185: Marsha Shandur: A Masterclass On Storytelling

If the idea of selling and asking people to buy from you makes you nervous, this one’s for you. 

My guest today is going to explain how storytelling takes the ick out of making sales, through what she calls “ethical persuasion.” No tricks, no gimmicks, no bait and switch. Just connecting with your clients over the issues they’re facing and how you can help.
