The world of business can be cutthroat, especially in these financially troubled times it’s important to maintain the right frame of mind. And our guest in this episode knows all too well about that. Douglas McNeilage is a pure-play customer technology expert as well as a sales leader. This is Episode 6 of Changing Lives with Tanya Kunze and Thabo Magubane.

Business can be cutthroat and selling your business or your product in a world reeling from the pandemic, a massive challenge.
McNeilage says that selling in a cutthroat environment is “extremely important. And I think, you know, through this pandemic, we’ve had to amass debt and, understand what is going to be able to work for the customers that you’re selling to. And if you’re not thinking about the customers, you’re really in trouble.

He adds that neither entrepreneurs or staff have ever gone through anything as radical as the pandemic before. ”
They’ve never gone through anything like this before in their life. Everyone was so set in a routine, going to the office, etcetera.
You, as a leader or not, you’re selling to customers need to be able to, you know, understand that dynamic and deliver on that dynamic.”
