Is your job to sell to other small business owners? Or do other small business owners sell to you? Either way, today’s episode is going to make you money!

For small business owners I’m going to tackle what to watch out for and who to buy from.

If you are on the sales side of things, prepare yourself to hear me vent on behalf of small business owners. I’ll keep it civil, but there are definitely things that rub me the wrong way when it comes to those selling to small business owners. But I’m here to help! So listen in as we discuss tips on how to sell to a small business owner.

Also on this episode:

• Change / Business Growth – Change is something we all have to do, but that doesn’t mean we like it or are even good at it. MJ Reiners, President of Summerland Education talks about the way our brains resist change and how to overcome what is inevitable. Believe it or not, change done well can actually be fun!
• Introverts / Communication – Beth Houtrow, founder of Climb, the Small Business Book Club is here talking about introverts and how best to approach them in a business setting. What are the things in business that introverts shy away from and what are those things that they enjoy? How do you even spot an introvert? Beth is a self-proclaimed introvert so she knows a thing or two about what she is talking about.
• Business Mishaps / When in Rome – Misery loves company and I think the same can be said about stupidity. Pat shares a story about the dumbest person on the planet. If stupidity loves company, you’re going to feel a lot better about yourself after hearing what happened.
