“I help entrepreneurs sell so they can change the world”
Bio
Dr. Shane Smith was a huge success in the sales profession, but not because he was a “natural born” salesman. Instead, his success stems from being a “Nice-Guy” and using his natural social skills to succeed. For the past 15 years, Shane has become a university professor (PhD) and has been teaching students and entrepreneurs his methods and perspective on “Nice guys(gals) finish…and OUTLAST!
Based on a premise of (and title of his upcoming book), “Shut Up and Listen”, Shane helps entrepreneurs, leaders/managers, parents, etc. learn the power and techniques of asking questions and letting the other respond. It is in those responses that we can, not only better understand them, but also influence them to take our intended action.
