Shownotes
In this episode of Stories of Selling Human podcast we put focus on the concept of giving and receiving gratitude. A concept that is sometimes considered a weakness in the world of business and sales. However, the lack of reciprocal gratitude in our lives makes us feel lonely, disconnected and insecure - certainly not the traits of successful sales people. We often forget and underestimate the benefits that gratitude can have for us an others and we have to remind ourselves that profit is aligned with dreams, passions and purpose. People don't buy what you do, they buy why you do it...
