Meet Qing Qing Dai: Providing George James Training in Asia-Pacific
Jul 14, 2026 Season 3 Episode 21
Steve Vaughan

In this special episode, Steve Vaughan welcomes the newest member of the George James training team, Qing Qing Dai, joining us from Singapore.

With more than a decade of experience in laboratory instrumentation sales, product management and sales leadership across Asia-Pacific, Qing Qing shares her journey from an introverted Food Science graduate who never imagined a career in sales to becoming a successful sales leader responsible for developing teams across the region.

Together they discuss:

  •  Why sales is far more about listening than talking. 
  •  The importance of solving customer problems rather than simply selling products. 
  •  Why so many new salespeople struggle during their first few years. 
  •  The transition from successful salesperson to successful sales manager. 
  •  Why professional sales training can dramatically accelerate confidence and performance. 
  •  The growing life science and laboratory market across Singapore and Southeast Asia. 
  •  What motivated Qing Qing to join the George James training team.
