c.j. Ng: Why You Suck At Selling

About this episode

c.j. Ng discusses the importance of sales skills in both professional and personal contexts.

c.j. Ng is a sales, leadership, and experiential learning coach.  He has helped companies ranging from Google, Volvo to Swarovski.  Today we talk about the often-overlooked skill of sales, not just as a career, but as a life-altering tool. We explore the nuances of effective communication, the need for empathy, and the fine line between influence and manipulation. We also discuss the challenges of giving and receiving feedback in professional environments, particularly in Asian cultures.  We discuss if it’s better to give feedback anonymously or not.  Whether you're in sales or another industry, c.j. emphasizes the importance of learning how to sell—be it a product, an idea, or yourself.
