Summary:

We sometimes think that you should always let other people talk about themselves and that's true but that doesn't mean it's at the expense of you not letting people know you.

Amy Quick originally came from customer service and she made a living letting her clients new she was a real person trying to solve their very real problems.

This episode we talk about how her parents influenced her conversational style, how to build relationships with stand off ish people, and also how to leverage your personal story in a business context. Like her tagline says, Amy is the most seriously non-serious salesperson you'll meet and she can help you find your own voice in sales.
