We spoke to Sacha Lindekens Ph.D. Author, Leadership Development Coach and Partner at Avion Consulting. This episode is about using empathy as a selling tool.   

Sacha comes from a 20-year management development background. Prior to his current role, he got his doctorate in psychology and wanted to do something different. So, he began his work with the New York Giants football team helping them screen incoming players. This began his work in the application of psychology in the business and sports world. With 20+ years in the business he has mastered the art of working with teams, executives, and managers to develop as leaders.    

Join us as we dive into how a deeper understanding of a customer’s needs and a high level of empathy can lead your team to reach higher sales goals. It's all about putting yourself in the customer’s mind state. Salespeople, this one is for you!
