On this episode of The Sales Vitamin Podcast I talk with Annie P. Ruggles, owner of The Non-Sleazy Sales Academy.  She's the granddaughter of a literal used-car salesman.  Literally.  One of the best in the Chicago area.  Annie's spent the last 10 years developing a disdain for hard-sales, tacky self-promotion, and overly competitive sleazeballs to help small businesses find a better way to grow their business. She's the Founder and the Dean of The Non-Sleazy Sales Academy where she's guided hundreds of people toward making deeper connections, lasting impressions, and friendlier, more lucrative transactions and conversations. Annie got her start in musical theatre.  Not your normal route to the sales profession.  However, she found herself in the role of a marketing manager with no experience.   That's when she discovered her knack for promotion.  She soon discovered that marketing your product or service is not the same as selling it.   So, she went on a quest to help others distinguish the art of selling from the art of manipulation and formed the Academy.  Here's what we discuss in this episode: Why she dove into sales.How The Non-Sleazy Sales Academy was born. Little "M" vs Big "M".When to talk and when to be quiet. Know - Like - Trust.The empathy gap.The "used car" salesman.Emotional and technical sales skills.One sales vitamin. Connect with Annie Official WebsiteLinkedInPhone  312-857-3273Email annie@anniepruggles.comSpecial Offer from Kitcaster Kitcaster is a podcast booking agency that specializes in developing real human connections through podcast appearances.If you are an expert in your field, have a unique story to share, or an interesting point of view-- it's time to explore the world of podcasting with Kitcaster.You can expect a completely customized, concierge service from their staff of communication experts.  Kitcaster is your secret weapon in podcasting for business.  Your audience is waiting to hear from you.Go to this link at Kitcaster to apply for a special offer for friends of The Sales Vitamin Podcast

It just wasn't exciting enough and he felt cornered in one small part of a big machine. So,  more than a half a year in, while looking to start a digital agency for healthcare companies, he decided to join one and started running digital campaigns for the world's largest pharma companies as the company's youngest account manager. However, he never gave up on the dream of starting his own company, started working part-time at his job, and tried a series of startup projects before he eventually started Salesflare.Salesflare itself was founded when Jeroen and his co-founder Lieven wanted to manage the leads for their software company in an easier way. They didn't like to keep track of their leads manually and built Salesflare, which pulls customer data together automatically and then actively helps you follow up.It's now the most popular CRM on Product Hunt and top rated on review platforms like G2 for its ease of use and automation features.Here's what we discuss in this episode: Jeroen's background.Why Salesflare for small businesses.CRM Automation.How Salesflare differentiates.Ease of use and data entry.Mitigating manual entry. Setting up the Salesflare system.Keys to comparing CRM systems.CRM efficiency.Key sales skills.One sales vitamin. Connect with SalesflareOfficial WebsiteSalesflare LinkedInJeroen LinkedInTwitter Special Offer from Kitcaster Kitcaster is a podcast booking agency that specializes in developing real human connections through podcast appearances.If you are an expert in your field, have a unique story to share, or an interesting point of view-- it's time to explore the world of podcasting with Kitcaster.You can expect a completely customized, concierge service from their staff of communication experts.  Kitcaster is your secret weapon in podcasting for business.  Your audience is waiting to hear from you.Go to this link at Kitcaster to apply for a special offer for friends of The Sales Vitamin Podcast.
