E295 | Mastering the Sales Game – Role Plays and Strategies with Simon Severino
Sales and marketing strategies can make or break your business. That’s why we invited no other than TEDx speaker, advisor and business author, Simon Severino for a new episode of Mind Your F**king Business.
In this episode, Simon unpacks the intricacies of coaching across multiple domains, from the sales floor to the spiritual journey, all aimed at accelerating both personal and professional growth. We’ll explore the significance of clear communication within a team and why having a structured sales approach can mean the difference between closing a deal and watching it slip through your fingers.
Dominic and Simon also talk about creating “flywheels” to drive business, the power of role-play in sales meetings to boost confidence, and why training is as essential in business as it is in sports.
Simon also offers a treasure trove of advice for solo entrepreneurs—from establishing structured processes to reducing reliance on the founder within 90 days. He’ll explain why some tech founders flounder with sales and how his strategies can turn the ship around and create a culture brimming with opportunities.
Whether you’re a solopreneur, a tech founder struggling with sales, or simply someone passionate about mastering the art of business, this episode is tailored for you.
