Show Notes
In this episode of the Driven Female Entrepreneur Podcast, I speak with Kristin Zhivago, a revenue coach and the president of Zhivago Partners, a digital marketing management company.
Kristin started her entrepreneurial journey when she was 17, selling machine shop tools. Being young and having no training whatsoever, she learned the hard way that sales was not as easy as just showing up. After failing miserably, she dedicated herself to learning everything about tech and selling and soon turned her fortunes around.
After college, she started selling for various companies around Silicon Valley until she and her husband started an ad agency business together. When her husband retired, she decided to put everything she had learnt into helping companies grow and became a revenue coach.
Today, she teaches CEOs and entrepreneurs how to make more profit by understanding what their customers want to buy from them and how they want it to be. Knowledge that she has also captured in her book: Roadmap to Revenue.

Selling is not really selling. It's having a conversation with somebody about what they're trying to do and then seeing if you can help.-Kristin Zhivago
