The Hard Sell
Whether or not you work as a salesperson, we all wind up selling things. A lot of times, we're selling ourselves, whether it's in an interview or a college application. But sometimes we're selling things like a car or even a company. Our goal on The Hard Sell is to help you win when sales opportunities present themselves by bringing experienced leaders in the field together to share what works and what doesn't.
