Ep 19: The Real Art of Selling with Bill Gillespie

In Episode 19 of Taktiful Tuesdays, I sit down with the one and only Bill Gillespie – 40+ year print industry vet, master storyteller, and sales whisperer. Bill has made a career not just out of selling print, but understanding people.

We talk about the evolution of sales, what really matters to buyers, and why asking the right question is often more important than pitching the perfect solution. Bill shares insights from his early days as a print buyer to now consulting with teams across the industry – plus, we dive into why empathy and authenticity still win the day.

💬 Topics we cover:

✅ What’s changed (and hasn’t) in print sales over 40 years
✅ How to move from “vendor” to “trusted partner”
✅ The power of better questions
✅ Lessons from teaching at Clemson
✅ Skiing, fly fishing, and getting schooled by your kids

This one’s packed with value – and a few laughs along the way. Let’s go!
