About this episode

In this episode of the Thoughts on Selling podcast, Jim Schaffer and I discuss the role of mindfulness and awareness in sales. We explore the relevance of being present, the power of emotional intelligence (EQ) in sales interactions and the importance of understanding the context of who you're selling to.

Jim shares his personal journey of discovering mindfulness and how it transformed his approach to sales. We discuss the benefits of being present and reframing perspectives to find joy in any situation.

We also highlight the role of managers in supporting mindfulness and integrating it into sales organizations. Jim discusses importance of individual practice and self-awareness in sales success.

Key Takeaways:
  • Embrace impermanence and reframe your mindset to reduce stress and increase joy in the sales profession
  • Practice radical responsibility by owning your response to events and handling them without drama
  • Make a daily decision to be present and fully engaged in your work, embracing the four pillars of mindfulness:
    • Be still
