How do you start conversations that sell without pitching? In this interview, Sales Pro Insider Founder, Nancy Bleeke, shares practical tips based on more than twenty years of sales experience to get you in front of big clients, converse effectively with the internal champions, avoid sales conversation mistakes and a lot more.

The two words most used to describe Nancy Bleeke are driven and practical. Her first foray into entrepreneurship was at age nine when she and her brother bought old textbooks for five cents from their grade school and then proceeded to open a “summer school” in their basement for the neighborhood kids.

Sales is definitely part of Nancy’s genetic make-up. She has spent years in the trenches as a sales professional, sales manager, a sales coach, and wrote the gold medal winning book, Conversations That Sell which has been declared a “must-read” for sales teams around the world.
