Selling isn’t just about persuasion—it’s about connection.
Nikki Rausch, founder of Sales Maven and an expert in neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) for sales, joins us this week to share her insights on building trust, guiding conversations effectively, and closing deals with confidence.
Nikki breaks down the psychology behind successful sales interactions, how small communication shifts can create a big impact, and why sales isn’t something you do to people—it’s something you do with them. She also walks us through her Selling Staircase framework, a step-by-step process for guiding prospects toward a confident “yes” without resorting to high-pressure tactics.
