Having spent more than half a decade in sales, I've seen the challenges and misconceptions surrounding the profession. That's why I founded Mindful Selling - to raise the standards of sales and salespeople in India.I noticed that when I introduced myself as a salesperson to any Indian (apart from the ones in SaaS), I often received a puzzled look. I realized the issue stemmed from the common stereotype of pushy and unprofessional salespeople. However, that's not who I am, and it's certainly not how my customers see me. I strongly believe that it’s the intangibles that makes a salesperson standout from the crowd and is a large part that helped me and the rockstar sales professionals I've worked with win a customer’s preference.Through Mindful Selling, I wish to help other salespeople crack that code.
