But a small group — just 15% — consistently smash target, year after year.\n\nIn this episode, our host Mark Ackers sits with sales influencer and coach Niraj Kapur shares how he went from “horrendous at sales” (his words) to becoming one of the most respected trainers in the industry.

Niraj doesn’t sugarcoat it — he lays out the hard truths and the daily habits that build sales winners.\n\n👉 Whether you’re an SDR fighting for pipeline or a sales leader trying to lift your team, this is an unmissable conversation.\n\n#Sales #SalesCoaching #SalesMindset #SalesLeadership #Prospecting #SalesTraining #B2BSales #LinkedInSales #SalesPodcast #SalesPerformance #SocialSelling","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/gb27CQqFEVJEmlwfaBoAKtk8TBSLedgJriQEV50ZfbA/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzUwNjM1LzE3MDk4/MjUxNTMtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
