Why mindfulness of selling? Sales is more than a transaction; it’s about relationships and the impact our work has on others. The way we sell can either bring joy and trust or stress, manipulation, and dissatisfaction. This retreat focuses on mindful selling, where the product, price, and customer’s needs are aligned authentically, without pressure or psychological tricks.
