Why do companies go to such great lengths to avoid the word "Sales"? In this episode, Scott and Mike pull back the curtain on the "emotional baggage" attached to the sales profession. From the stigma of the "snake oil salesman" to the internal friction that revenue generation causes within a company, we explore why sales has become a dirty word—and why it shouldn't be.

We break down the Sales Spectrum, helping you identify where you fall between being a "facilitator" and a "persuader," and why the best reps are actually "artists" who match products to real human needs. Whether you're an "opener," a "closer," or a "Business Development Specialist," this episode is your therapy session to help you embrace your role as a revenue generator.
