#014: Cold Call Mastery (Ft. Andrea Alvarez)

The podcast is evolving. While the name stays the same, the focus is shifting.  Instead of centering on fitness and business, we’re diving deeper into sales and business—specifically high-level sales strategies to help you make more money, create a bigger impact, and elevate your life. Now, fitness isn’t going away completely—it’s still a huge part of my life and my success—but the core focus will be on helping you master the art of selling to unlock financial freedom and create incredible opportunities for yourself and everyone around you. I’m kicking off this change with a great conversation with Andrea Alvarez. She’s a global sales leader at her company and full of insights in what works in sales. She shares her story of how she got into sales, her mothers risky way of teaching her how to swim, and invaluable information into the mindset of a sales leader. You’re not gonna want to miss this. Some of the topics covered are: * Andrea's origin story as a salesperson * Mandatory steps needed for cold call success * The longer you can wait, the more money you make * Women crushing it in sales * And more
