Join us as we decipher this unique strategy with Kathy Walterhouse, a professional rule breaker and host of the Professional Rule Breaker podcast. Learn how breaking from the norm doesn't mean breaking laws, instead it's about challenging conventional wisdom and disrupting the status quo.
    Through Kathy's unique approach, paralleled with Elon Musk’s disruption of the auto industry, she has found stunning success in her sales career, selling close to a billion dollars. In our discussions, Kathy dives deep into the importance of maintaining a strong mindset, overcoming doubts and fears, dealing with imposter syndrome, and centering the focus on the customer for utmost success in sales.
    Kathy lays emphasis on the principle of selling in the same way you'd like to be sold to. Pushing stereotypes aside, she introduces the idea of selling as a noble act of helping others, removing their pains, and guiding them towards success. As Kathy points out, when customers succeed, so does the business. Also, learn about Kathy’s 'connection campaign'- a unique way to engage customers at a personal level for more meaningful connections.
    To wrap up, Kathy encourages us to dare to break the norm and to always remain brave and authentic. According to her, every individual carries the potential to make a significant difference. Don't miss out on this enlightening episode of Behind the Numbers, where we explore how professional rule breaking can lead to unprecedented success in sales and business.
