What really separates top sales performers from the rest? In this episode, sales excellence coach and former 3M leader Ivan Stevanovic breaks down the essential habits that fuel consistent sales success—and they might not be what you expect.
Forget gimmicks and silver-tongued persuasion. Great salespeople win because they prepare like professionals, ask better questions, and know when to walk away. They treat sales as a craft, not just a quota. Drawing on decades of experience coaching high-performing teams, Ivan shares powerful, practical advice on how to build trust, qualify opportunities, and develop the mindset needed to thrive in complex B2B sales environments.
Whether you're a seasoned rep, a consultant who dreads "selling," or a manager looking to level up your team, this episode is packed with real-world insights that will sharpen your approach and reignite your confidence.
🔥 If you’ve ever walked out of a sales call thinking, “What just happened?”—this is the episode you need.
Tune in now to learn how the best sellers prepare, adapt, and consistently deliver value.
