Oct 20, 2022

For this week’s episode, Michael interviews Steve Brossman, based in Sydney, Australia. He’s a Multi Best Selling Author, International Speaker, and an Innovative Sales Enablement Strategist. He is a firm believer in the notion that it is better to be different than better, cheaper, or faster.

Steve assists small-medium business owners through his coaching, books, and talks. He is providing strategies for business owners to get picked from the metaphorical shelf, putting a different spin on things, and seeing themselves not from an internal perspective but a customer’s perspective, all in all, overcoming the Brown Box Syndrome. 

“If you just call yourself a coach, a consultant, or an accountant, something is telling your prospective clients that you don't value yourself enough to work on you to be perceived as being different. And that's a big lesson to get started with.”, he said.

This Cast Covers:

  • Brown Box Syndrome.
