TRANSCRIPT

 

Well, hello my friend. Welcome to the Coach with Clarity Podcast. My name is Lee Chaix McDonough. I'm your host and I am thrilled you are joining me. Whether you are a longtime listener or whether this is the first time you've ever heard the show, I want to welcome you. I am so glad you are here. You are the reason I make this podcast every single week. And I'm thrilled that you're joining me for an extraordinary conversation I got to have with the Erika Tebbens. Now if you don't know Erika, you are in for a treat. She is such a dynamic person in general, but especially when it comes to talking about what she loves most, which is sales. Yes, I said it. It's the dreaded S word sales. But let's be honest, if we are in business, sales has to be a part of what we do. That's how we bring revenue in. And if you're like me, sometimes hearing that word might make you feel a little uncomfortable. Maybe it's a little cringy. Erika takes all of that away. She has an approach to sales that is grounded in integrity, and is all about helping you shine and tapping into your natural strengths and gifts to make sales easy, and dare I say even fun. So that's what we explore during our conversation today, and I cannot wait to hear what you think about it. So let's get started, shall we? Here is my conversation with sales strategist Erika Tebbens.
