In this weeks’ Scale Your Sales Podcast episode, my guest is Steve Heroux.
Steve Heroux is the CEO & Founder of The Sales Collective, and to say Steve is a contrarian when it comes to sales and sales leadership would be an understatement. His organization works with companies whose leaders have enough self-awareness, emotional intelligence, and vulnerability to acknowledge they don’t know everything.
In today’s episode of Scale Your Sales podcast, Steve shares his innovative perspectives on modern sales strategies, emphasizing the shift from “Always Be Closing” to “Always Be Connecting.” He highlights the importance of building authentic relationships with customer, leveraging social media – particularly LinkedIn – as a tool for meaningful engagement. Steve also offers insights into effective sales training and leadership, focusing on aligning team members with their roles and moving away from outdated management styles and ineffective techniques.
