“To Sell is Human” – Daniel Pink
• Like it or not, we’re all in the business of sales.
• World-wide study found most critical skill – “moving” (i.e. persuading, influencing,
and convincing).
• To adapt, we must remove the word “selling”. To “sell” is centered on a
relationship vs. a sales amount.
• Traditional business tells us – build a product and sell it. In sales, this is the
closing approach.
• Alternative approach – listening vs. selling – i.e. facilitating the user to his/her
problem and finding solutions.
• Start with building a solution by learning and understanding the problem.

"I have been so impressed by Bruce and his team at Business
Builders. They not only go above and beyond for their clients,
but they look at the WHOLE aspect of business including you! I
was able to gain more clarity, move away from being in constant
fight or flight, and they helped me to look at the bigger financial
picture. I am so grateful, and I highly recommend them to any
new or growing business." DeeAnne Riendeau
"It's been almost 3/4 of a year since working with Bruce and Nathan at workplaces. The
coaching and help these two brought to my company as an owner operator are the sole reason,
I am still in business today. I can't truly express in words how much the help they gave me got
through the worst of the growing pains of starting a business and how to look at it properly with
a business mindset. They both went well above and beyond to make sure that I had all the help
I needed to succeed in my endeavor as a business owner. Anyone who has even a remote
need to work with a company and group like this should jump at the first chance they get to sit
down at a table with these two. They will change your life." Levi Lennie
"I was looking for something different. They had a classy
skeleton in a suit and said they were different right on their
homepage. After meeting with Bruce and Nathan, I knew they
were a match that could both handle our business needs and
not load me down on catchphrases. I look forwards to working
with Bruce & the rest of the team in the future." Matt Vincent
"I have been so impressed by Bruce and his team at
Business Builders. They not only go above and
beyond for their clients, but they look at the WHOLE
aspect of business including you! I was able to gain
more clarity, move away from being in constant fight
or flight, and they helped me to look at the bigger
financial picture. I am so grateful, and I highly
recommend them to any new or growing business."
DeeAnne Riendeau
"Bruce Baker is brilliant. I have had the amazing
experience of being in 2 organizations where he
provided guidance and direction to help move the
organizations to where they needed to be. Bruce cuts
through the clutter, sees what's really going on, and
develops key insights to move your organization
forward. If you are looking for any kind of business
coaching, development, mentoring, consulting, etc. -
hire Workplaces. You will not be disappointed." Rich
Horning
"Through Bruce's coaching and advice, I gained
confidence in my offerings and was able to grow my
business substantially. Bruce has an uncanny way of
being able to compartmentalize all the elements of
your business and then simplify them so that your
path forward becomes much clearer. He will help you
with the tiniest of details while still seeing the big
picture. I would totally recommend Workplaces to
anyone looking to grow their business and take it to
the next level." Elissa Fesyk

  • 15. “To Sell is Human” – Daniel Pink • Like it or not, we’re all in the business of sales. • World-wide study found most critical skill – “moving” (i.e. persuading, influencing, and convincing). • To adapt, we must remove the word “selling”. To “sell” is centered on a relationship vs. a sales amount. • Traditional business tells us – build a product and sell it. In sales, this is the closing approach. • Alternative approach – listening vs. selling – i.e. facilitating the user to his/her problem and finding solutions. • Start with building a solution by learning and understanding the problem.

  • 38. "I have been so impressed by Bruce and his team at Business Builders. They not only go above and beyond for their clients, but they look at the WHOLE aspect of business including you! I was able to gain more clarity, move away from being in constant fight or flight, and they helped me to look at the bigger financial picture. I am so grateful, and I highly recommend them to any new or growing business." DeeAnne Riendeau "It's been almost 3/4 of a year since working with Bruce and Nathan at workplaces. The coaching and help these two brought to my company as an owner operator are the sole reason, I am still in business today. I can't truly express in words how much the help they gave me got through the worst of the growing pains of starting a business and how to look at it properly with a business mindset. They both went well above and beyond to make sure that I had all the help I needed to succeed in my endeavor as a business owner. Anyone who has even a remote need to work with a company and group like this should jump at the first chance they get to sit down at a table with these two. They will change your life." Levi Lennie "I was looking for something different. They had a classy skeleton in a suit and said they were different right on their homepage. After meeting with Bruce and Nathan, I knew they were a match that could both handle our business needs and not load me down on catchphrases. I look forwards to working with Bruce & the rest of the team in the future." Matt Vincent "I have been so impressed by Bruce and his team at Business Builders. They not only go above and beyond for their clients, but they look at the WHOLE aspect of business including you! I was able to gain more clarity, move away from being in constant fight or flight, and they helped me to look at the bigger financial picture. I am so grateful, and I highly recommend them to any new or growing business." DeeAnne Riendeau "Bruce Baker is brilliant. I have had the amazing experience of being in 2 organizations where he provided guidance and direction to help move the organizations to where they needed to be. Bruce cuts through the clutter, sees what's really going on, and develops key insights to move your organization forward. If you are looking for any kind of business coaching, development, mentoring, consulting, etc. - hire Workplaces. You will not be disappointed." Rich Horning "Through Bruce's coaching and advice, I gained confidence in my offerings and was able to grow my business substantially. Bruce has an uncanny way of being able to compartmentalize all the elements of your business and then simplify them so that your path forward becomes much clearer. He will help you with the tiniest of details while still seeing the big picture. I would totally recommend Workplaces to anyone looking to grow their business and take it to the next level."
