Mastering Emotional Intelligence: A Sales Rep's Guide to Staying Calm in Negotiations

In the high-stakes world of sales, maintaining composure during negotiations is crucial for success. For many sales reps, anger and frustration can be constant companions, undermining their efforts. In this session, we'll explore how to stay calm in a negotiation and transform your inner dialogue to improve your professional relationships.

Conquering Anger

For some, anger is an ever-present force, shaping their thoughts and actions from an early age. In our journey to becoming effective sales reps, it's essential to confront and conquer this anger.
