If selling makes you cringe, or if you’ve ever tried to 'build rapport' and accidentally made things weirder, this one’s for you. Whether you’re pitching a product or service, or just your own ideas, adding humor can be your secret advantage.

In this episode of Strategy Talks, you’ll learn how to sell without sounding salesy, how to make people laugh without losing the sale, and why humor might be the best trust-builder you’re not using yet.

This week, Chris Castanes joins us with stories, strategies, and just the right amount of sarcasm.
