Woody Woodward was this week’s guest on Success Profiles Radio. He dropped out of high school at age 16, became a millionaire at 26, and was broke again by age 27. He has since built four multi-million-dollar companies and has written 44 books. His latest is DRIVE Sales System: The 5 Steps to Increasing Your Sales Reach by 400%. He has studied sales strategies in regard to buying habits, decision making, and product loyalty, and his personal products have sold over $60 million.

We discussed why sales is the solution to your problems, why you miss important opportunities when you don’t sell correctly, the five personality types in the D.R.I.V.E. sales system, and why correctly identifying the personality type you are talking to determines your success in the sales conversation.

In addition, we talked about building trust instantly that creates lasting partnerships, examples of how the D.R.I.V.E. sales system can be accurately applied to Shark Tank pitches, the importance of selling someone THEIR solution instead of yours, and how to skillfully follow up if the sale isn’t made on the first call.

Finally, we discussed how to create superfans and how to find A-players to work with. You can listen and subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify, Audible, iHeart Radio, and at Success Profiles Radio | Live Internet Talk Radio | Best Shows Podcasts
