The Pursuit of Love - By Steve Claydon and Darcy J Smyth (Directors at Why Bravo) 79 - "Stop Doing What You're Supposed To" with John Barrows (CEO of Sell Better)
John Barrows has been a sales leader and innovator in the space for well over 25 years. Having held every role in Sales from making 400 dials a week to being the VP of Sales of a self-funded start-up that sold to Staples to now running his own sales training company working with organizations like Salesforce, Linkedin, Amazon, Google and many more of the fastest growing companies in the world.
These experiences have allowed John to learn a lot along the way of what works and what doesn't work in Sales. He continues to sell every day as he commits to the profession and the associated learnings. "My goal is to share these experiences with Sales professionals to help elevate them and the profession because I believe when Sales is done right it's the greatest profession in the world, but when done wrong, it's the worst."
