When you hear the expression, “taking the high road,” what comes to mind? The first reactions that many people have to the saying involve taking a more elevated, or ethical approach to something.

The United States is truly in a financial education crisis. At no point in our lives are we taught to manage our money. We’re not being taught in high school or college, and often times we’re not being taught by our parents either.

Most millennials want to get good at financial management and prepare for their financial future, but they don’t know how because they’ve never been taught. It’s a difficult thing to be new in the workforce and try to navigate things all on their own. Rachel Richards teaches Millennials, and everyone else, how to manage their finances in this expert sales podcast interview, hosted by John Golden.

One of the biggest problems with today’s sales force is the reliance on tactics that were documented back in 1873. This tactic and process assume that the salesperson can do everything, including prospecting, negotiating, closing, demonstrating the product or service, following up, and taking care of the customer overall. Back in those days, that process worked, but the buying process has changed significantly. The sales process hasn’t kept up with those changes in the buying process, and as a result, this creates numerous bottlenecks in the buying process. Gil Cargill, podcast interviewed by John Golden, explores how to create a sales process and stick to it for maximum results, more sales, and less wasted money.
