In this episode I talk with Nikki Roush. She is the CEO of SalesMaven  and she has the unique ability to transform the misunderstood process of selling  with 25 plus years of selling experience.

Entrepreneurs and small business owners now hire Nikki to show them how to sell successfully and authentically.  Nikki has written three books. They're all available on Amazon, and she has a podcast called Sales Maven. 

Nikki shares her origin story and explains how she ventured into teaching people the art of selling. We talk about the stereotypes surrounding sales, especially for women, and the challenges individuals face when it comes to doing sales. 

She shares her strategies for engaging conversations on social media, including how to talk with people rather than at them, and the simplicity behind developing genuine relationships on platforms like Instagram.

In this episode we also dive into what steps should be included in a proven sales process and Nikki shares her process, "The Selling Staircase," revealing the steps to qualify, quote, and close high-end clients. Get your pen and paper ready as she emphasizes the importance of a multi-conversation sales approach and the art of redirecting thoughts.
