Exclusive Interview With Original Go-Giver Bob Burg
“When you sell on price, you’re a commodity. When you sell on value, you’re a resource.”
Bob Burg is a bestselling author, international keynote speaker, and world-renowned sales coach. According to Bob, the secret to sales lies in embracing a giving mentality, and even though it may feel counterintuitive, shifting your focus from getting to providing is the wisest (and most profitable) way to run a business.
In this episode, you’ll discover:
- How to provide exceptional value (without costing you money).
- What it really means to have a giving mentality.
- Expert tactics for dealing with change.
- Why good salesmanship isn’t about the salesperson.

He speaks for corporations and associations internationally, including Fortune 500 companies, franchises, and numerous direct sales organizations. Bob regularly addresses audiences ranging in size from 50 to 16,000 — sharing the platform with notables including today’s top thought leaders, broadcast personalities, Olympic athletes and political leaders including a former United States President.
