Love what you do but hate the sales part of the process? Feel like it compromises your values? What if you could stop selling, yet still attract high-paying clients? Farnoosh Brock contends that you CAN feel good about promoting your business, and it starts by developing a mindset of service.
Farnoosh is a devoted business coach, consultant and speaker who specializes in helping high-performing leaders, entrepreneurs and business owners create meaningful relationships and scalable profits. She is also the creator of Crack the Code to Get Promoted, a career-advancement course for corporate professionals, and the author of several books, including The Serving Mindset: Stop Selling and Grow Your Business.
On this episode, Farnoosh discusses the five mindsets for business growth detailed in her latest book, explaining how to position selling as serving and feel good about the process. She describes how to show prospects you care, how to address objections, and how to charge appropriately for your services.
