In this week’s episode of Scale Your Sales Podcast, my guest is Justin Leigh, the founder of Focus4Growth. Focus4Growth is a Sales & Leadership Training Company specialising in B2B markets that helps businesses achieve growth and create greater impact in the world.

 

Justin Leigh is an award-winning business leader with over 25 years of experience in sales and leadership. He is the bestselling Author of Inspire, Influence, Sell and the host of the Inspire Sales Podcast.

 

In this episode, we talk about his second book, Coaching Leaders. Justin discusses the gaps in leadership that made him recognise the importance of a more customer-focused approach to sales. He also shares his journey as a sales leader, talking about his failures and mistakes, and his light bulb moments. These led him to realise that coaching rather than directing translates into improvements, and eventually leads to higher team performances.
