Sales Mindset: How to Change Your Mindset Around Selling
Written by Joanna Sapir
I recently was featured on Pamela Crane’s The Yoga Pro Podcast and on it we discussed:
Do you know the difference between sales and marketing?
Do both of them make you feel a little slimy?
In this second episode of our Business Skills for Yoga Professionals series, Joanna Sapir demystifies the sales process and helps you get past that “icky” feeling that can sometimes come with selling your services. As someone who has struggled with sales, I love this episode so much!
Joanna has been a teacher and mentor for more than twenty years, from the classroom to the gym floor; and now to wellness practices across the world.
