Sales and Your Dark Side, Your Shadow!

How does Carl Jung’s concept of the shadow show up in sales? What is the shadow? How can you use it to your advantage? And what do you need to be avoiding?

Listen to a fascinating show with Michael Hanson on the concept of the shadow in sales.

It can now be ascertained on closer investigation that the unconscious man, that is his shadow, does not consist only of morally reprehensible tendencies, but also displays a number of good qualities, such as normal instincts, appropriate reactions, realistic insights, creative impulses."
