Business
Niraj is forthright on salespeople becoming irrelevant and he is on a mission to change this. Most people are not aware that they work in sales, he says. Sales are the foundation of a business, if you do not sell you cannot invest. Buyers have become savvier, while sellers have not! Salespeople try to sell by email. People buy people and this involves a conversation. The problem is salespeople don’t answer questions, they do not research their client and they do not listen enough.

I gravitate to their intelligence and I’m not intimidated by Women. It doesn’t scare me like I know it does many men. Many men cannot work for women as it hurts their fragile egos. Many of my bosses were women and they were the decision-makers, tough which is OK and fair.” Both Niraj and I would love to hear your views.
