In this episode of The Business Superfans Podcast, Freddy D sits down with Curt Tueffert, founder of Peak Sales Strategy, to unpack four decades of real-world sales experience and why coaching, mindset, and adaptability matter more than ever. Together, they explore how elite sales performance comes from understanding people first, mastering discovery, and continuously âleveling upâ through training, self-awareness, and behavioral insight.
đ Top 5 Takeaways
1ď¸âŁ Sales success starts with solving the customerâs problem, not pitching features or price.
2ď¸âŁ Behavioral styles (DISC) matter â the best sales pros flex how they communicate, not who they are.
3ď¸âŁ Coaching isnât optional: just like sports, peak performance requires constant practice and tune-ups.
4ď¸âŁ Not everyone can be coached â sometimes the right move is to change people, not try to change people.
5ď¸âŁ Old-school follow-up (cards, notes, personal touch) still works powerfully in a digital, AI-driven world.
