Do you want to beat your competition or do you want to EAT. THEIR. LUNCH? Our guest today, Anthony Iannarino, has devoted his life to teaching people and businesses how to dominate their competition through his speaking, blogging and books.
Anthony doesn't hide cold hard truths and calls out the anti-cold calling charlatans that promise you can win business away from competitors without picking up the phone. Instead, he's helping salespeople overcome the fear of cold calling and the misconceptions that surround it.
We discuss this, his thoughts on the role of women in sales and his many run-ins with former guest and host of the Sell or Die Podcast, Jeffrey Gitomer. This is an episode you can't skip over.
