068 – Wait… I Can Say That? Selling Without Feeling Salesy

Does talking about your product or service make you feel salesy or uncomfortable? Then today’s episode of the Delight in the Limelight Podcast is for you!

I chat with Darren Mitchell – former sales leader, coach, mentor, and host of The Exceptional Sales Leader Podcast – about how sales is truly the ultimate form of service. Darren shares his approach to selling with confidence, authenticity, and a genuine desire to help, while letting go of desperation and attachment to the outcome.

Listen in to discover:

• Why selling is really about helping, not convincing
• The danger of “commission breath” (and how to avoid it!)
• Practical strategies to build real relationships with your audience or customers
• What to do when you lose a sale or face rejection

If you’ve ever struggled with selling or talking about your work, this episode will really help!
