19:02 Share

It’s your moral duty to your fellow human beings to share your gifts with them. As a financial advisor, this means providing them with your gift of financial advice. And that means you have to sell your services often.  But most advisors don’t think like this. And it causes them to fear rejection, get anxious before sales calls, and come across like a sleazy salesperson. That’s the bad news.  The good news?  You only have to make a couple simple tweaks to your mindset to suck the sleaze out of your sales call, eliminate sales call anxiety, and most importantly, make more sales.  In this episode, you’ll discover why selling is the most moral thing you can do and how to sell without being sleazy, so you can offer your gift to more people. Listen now.  Show highlights include:
