A Business Masterclass From The Queen of Sales - with Alison Edgar MBE

This week, Ellie is joined by "The Queen Of Sales", motivational speaker, and author of 'Secrets Of Successful Sales', Alison Edgar MBE! Alison discusses the importance of recognising your roots in life, the difference between entrepreneurs and business owners, and why putting in the effort is sometimes worth far more than achieving the result in mind. KEY TAKEAWAYS It's vital that we never forget our roots, and where we've come from. We may reach the dizzy heights of success, but by remaining rooted, we will be able to connect with anyone, regardless of background. There's a difference between an entrepreneur, and someone who has merely set up a business. Entrepreneurs are hungry. They take risks. They always bet big on the exciting ideas. Having strong opinions is one thing, but we must never be so closed-minded that we cannot listen to the perspective of others. No one can ever know everything. We need to remain open. Often, coaches spend more time selling the courses than actually offering any practical, actionable advice. It can be a case of smoke and mirrors. Look for guidance from those who have a track record of proven results, and who have helped others to achieve the same. BEST MOMENTS 'Never forget where you're coming from' 'My appearance shaped me to be who I am' 'I've got my own path, but I can be influenced by others opinions if I think they're valid' 'It's A for effort, not A for the result' VALUABLE RESOURCES On A Mission - https://omny.fm/shows/on-a-mission Alison Edgar - https://alisonedgar.com Alison Edgar Twitter - https://twitter.com/thealisonedgar ABOUT THE HOST The On A Mission Podcast brings you Ellie Mckay's no holds barred chats with some of the UK's top business leaders, entrepreneurs, celebrities, athletes, top thought leaders, influencers and mindset experts.
