At IMPAX, part of what makes us different is our focus on helping our clients develop an intuitive process.  We take the things successful, value-oriented sales professionals do by instinct and put them into a process so they're done by design. It balances the art and science of selling.

One core tenant of successful selling is a passion for learning--intellectual curiosity.

The article, A Passion for Learning Underlies Sales Success, was authored by my colleague, Jen E Miller. Jen is a partner of IMPAX and one of our IMPAX certified trainers. Jen encourages you to take a look inside and determine your current level of intellectual curiosity, and provides implementable strategies you can use to help grow your passion for learning.
