Selling Christianly

Business for the Common Good 2020

Almost one-ninth of American workers are employed in sales, but as Daniel Pink’s bestselling book, To Sell Is Human, reminds us, whether you are in direct sales, an entrepreneur seeking capital to fund your startup, or an executive functioning as a spokesperson for your company, you are expected to pitch products or ideas. How can the Christian faith inform our response to pain points salespeople commonly face? From the pressure to meet quarterly goals to the challenge of building healthy sales teams, this panel of veteran sales leaders offers insight to bring biblical hope to any sales role.

With more than six hours of expert teaching from industry leaders, Business for the Common Good On-Demand is valued at more than $250. To help others experience the gospel in business, please consider a tax-deductible donation to Denver Institute for Faith & Work. We are grateful  for your financial support.
