In this episode of Market Dominance Guys, Richard Rabins, Chris Beall, and Corey Frank get into the weeds about using humor across different cultures. Can you just translate your best one-liners and expect them to land in Japan or Germany? Think again. Richard has some stories about navigating the global sales landscape and is unafraid to admit where he’s crashed and burned. But he also has some serious wisdom about how to build trust with prospects, no matter where they’re from. Listen to the final episode in this conversation with Richard Rabins and our Market Dominance Guys.
