Ruta: Respect for sales professionals

Jim Ruta, a performance consultant and a speaker at the Expertinstitute.com, takes issue with the notion that sales professionals are “product pushers”. Ruta describes quality selling as understanding the needs of your clients and showing how they can accomplish their goals by buying the products and services you offer, without considering your needs first. He spoke at the TMX Broadcast Centre in Toronto.
