DBE 027: How Building Relationships Leads to Massive Sales Success with Mike Golub

In This Episode:

Relationship first, product second. Mike Golub, sought-after sales trainer and seven-figure entrepreneur, lives by these words.

His eagerness to build relationships with everyone around him has allowed Mike, who began his career at the age of 25 at Enterprise Rent-A-Car, to very quickly become the #1 ranked sales executive at a multi-billion dollar international company, build two seven-figure businesses, and become a mentor to six, seven, and eight-figure entrepreneurs.

Listen in as Mike gives his thoughts on eliminating commission breath as a salesperson; the secret to making your products or services too valuable for customers to pass up; and how adopting a mindset of receiving and surrender can take your career to the next level.

As always, cheers to your evolution!

Key Takeaways:

• Building relationships with everybody you interact with at your place of work, no matter your role at the company, is one of the primary drivers of career growth.
• There are different schools of thought when it comes to entrepreneurial success; but, one of the most powerful, tried-and-true ways to scale and build a loyal following fast is to create a value-driven brand: Give a lot of your knowledge away for free to establish yourself as an authority in your space.
• There are two components in any sales transaction: the COI (Cost of Inaction) and ROI (Return on Investment). When both are high enough in the buyer’s mind, a sale is made.
