Overcoming Adversity with Resilience and Determination with Marie Cosgrove
Manage episode 356650698 series 2894135
Marie Cosgrove’s story is so inspiring and amazing, that we had to release this episode with her again. You will hear how she turned her adversity into her advantage, overcame her traumatic childhood, escaped abuse, and eventually went on to buy a company that previously fired her. The extremely difficult circumstances that Marie encountered since her birth would be too much for a lot of people to overcome, but instead of falling into a victim mentality, she used every obstacle as fuel to reach the life she wanted and help countless others along the way.
Marie Cosgrove is an award-winning international speaker, author, business consultant, entrepreneur, and resilience expert. In this episode, she shares her very inspirational story of everything she has overcome in her life, and her mission to teach others that they are capable of overcoming anything they put their mind to.
Marie has a lot of experience and success in sales, and she shares the important lessons and tips she has learned along the way. After going through some sales trainings, she learned that a lot of salespeople are going about selling the wrong way. Selling should never be centered around the best interest of the salesperson because that is not selling with integrity. Selling is all about knowing what problem your client has, and finding the solution. Tune in for more!
