In this episode I chatted with Dr. Rob Gilbert from Montclair State University. We discussed various sales lessons gleaned from watching this Netflix “best watched” program. The story involves a young girl who later becomes more than just proficient at the game of chess. (Watch it if you can.) The sales lessons are numerous and Dr. Rob kept this interview fun and lively.

We decided to discuss “The Natural” with Robert Redford in a future podcast. There are also a number of sales lessons one can learn from watching that movie. Stay tuned!
