In this episode of the Legend Effect Podcast, host Howie Chan is going solo. In a new series of short episodes - Solo Sesh (sessions), he is bringing you the best strategies and ideas from scientific studies and the legends among us so you can live your version of legendary.

He teaches you  how to reframe sales as a process of service and why that shift isn't just empowering, it's transformative for both you and your clients. That’s why the discussion emphasizes that selling isn’t about you, it’s about the person you’re trying to help.

Howie provides 4 different things you can do to reframe selling in your business, as well as examples of how he and others he knows put this new selling mindset into practice.

Legendary Quotes:

“ My internal dialogue often sounded like this. ‘I don't want to bother them.’, ‘What if I come across as desperate?’, ‘I'm really not here to sell, I'm here to help.’ Here's the irony. That mindset wasn't helping anyone. Least of all, the people I wanted to serve.” – Howie Chan
“ Your job is not to convince [your potential clients]. It is to illuminate the information at hand for them to make that decision. [Even if]  sometimes the best solution isn't working with you.” – Howie Chan

“Think of this as a long-term game, building relationships, building trust with every person that you speak to. And over time, like I said, those relationships can turn into referrals, collaborations, partnerships, or just opportunities you didn't anticipate.” – Howie Chan

It’s time to turn up the volume on life, make your mark, and live your legend. 🤘🏽
