In today’s episode, our host, Eitan Koter is joined by Bob Burg, a well-known author and speaker, best known for his bestselling book The Go-Giver. Bob’s background started in broadcasting before he found his calling in sales, where he’s spent decades helping people rethink how they approach business relationships. We had a great chat about what sales really means, focusing on how it’s more about serving others than pushing a product.
We dive into topics like how building genuine connections can make or break your success, and Bob breaks down his well-known “Go-Giver” methodology that’s helped countless businesses thrive. You’ll hear about the importance of asking the right questions, listening carefully, and understanding your customer’s needs. He also touches on how this approach isn’t just for face-to-face interactions but applies to digital experiences and e-commerce too.
If you’re running a business, trying to improve your sales process, or just want to rethink how you’re building relationships, you’ll find this conversation helpful. Bob’s approach to focusing on providing value and creating long-term relationships is a mindset shift that could change how you see success in business. Let’s get started!
