Frederick Fisher on Why Listening Is the Ultimate Sales Skill

Episode notes

Most people wait for opportunity. The best ones sell their way into it. Enjoyed my conversation with Fred Fisher. 50+ years in business. Still sharp. Still curious. 4 things that stuck: 1 - Opportunity is sold - not given. At 17, he talked his way into a French kitchen in Grenoble. Sales isn't a department. It's a life skill. 2 - Listening wins. Great mentors don't preach. They ask questions that flip the light switch. 3 - Technology scales. Humans close. Email is efficient. The phone builds trust. 4 - If you want to grow faster than the people around you - pick up the phone. Never stop learning. - Frederick Fisher, J.D., CCP, is a seasoned expert in Professional Liability with a career spanning over 50 years.
