In this transformative episode of The Midlife Makeover Show, host Wendy Valentine sits down with the incomparable Nikki Rausch, CEO of Sales Maven, to demystify the art of selling in every aspect of life. With over 25 years of experience, Nikki is the go-to sales coach for entrepreneurs and small business owners seeking to refine their sales strategies into authentic and successful practices.   Nikki's expertise is not just in closing deals but in fostering genuine connections. She shares her insights on the importance of rapport, the power of asking the right questions, and the subtle art of listening. From persuading your partner to embark on that dream vacation to pitching your business idea with confidence, Nikki's approach to sales is all about influence through engagement, not manipulation.   For anyone stepping into a new career, starting a dream business, or simply wanting to communicate more effectively, Nikki's wisdom is invaluable. She reminds us that selling isn't just about transactions; it's about creating opportunities for others to invest in themselves. And for those fearing rejection, Nikki reframes a 'no' as not a personal slight but as valuable information, sometimes simply indicating a 'not yet'.   This episode is a must-listen for anyone looking to enhance their influence, whether in personal relationships or professional endeavors.
