Today my special guest is David Hoffeld. David and I connected about a year and a half ago on LinkedIn and it took a bit of time for us to connect and actually do this podcast.
David is the author of The Science of Selling. He’s a true sales trainer and has spent decades researching science-based approaches to relationship-building and sales. He developed a revolutionary sales approach based on neuroscience, social psychology and behavioral economics.
I learned a ton from this episode, and I hope you do too.
