The Art of Asking Better Questions | Nitya Kirat | Sales Coach & Author of Winning Virtually

Описание: Sales doesn’t have to feel pushy, awkward, or inauthentic. In fact, according to sales and communication expert Nitya Kirat, great selling has nothing to do with persuasion tactics and everything to do with trust.
In this episode, Nitya, CEO of YOSD Consulting, shares why the best salespeople ask the best questions, how to simplify your messaging so people actually understand what you do, and why rushing the sales process is costing you more than you realize. We dive into emotional intelligence, knowing yourself as a seller, overcoming money stories, and creating a consistent sales process that works, even in uncertain economic times.
If you’ve ever said “I hate sales” or struggled to convert great conversations into paying clients, this episode will completely shift how you think about selling.
