Most sales training is outdated, and if you’re still following the same “always be closing” playbook, you’re probably pushing clients away.


In this episode of the Garlic Marketing Show, John "Small Mountain" Hill, bestselling author of Selling From Scratch, exposes why most sales advice is failing you, why referrals might actually be hurting your business, and the seven reasons people won’t buy from you.


If you’re running an agency, coaching business, or selling any service, this episode will change how you think about sales.
