Deb's journey from various sales and customer service roles to the high-tech industry reveals her unique approach to sales as a form of problem-solving and service. She shares the transformative concept that we all engage in sales through our daily interactions, gaining buy-in from others around us.

Ever wondered how ethical principles from the teachings of Jesus Christ can reshape sales strategies? Deb takes us through her divine-inspired methodology, emphasizing respect, integrity, and the power of listening and asking the right questions. By fostering genuine two-way conversations, these principles can create meaningful connections and strong character, transcending diverse cultural and faith backgrounds, including her unique experiences with Amish business owners.
