Sales is no longer just a job. In 2026, it is a life skill whether you like it or not.

In this episode of the Building Financial Fitness Podcast, Junus sits down with Chief Sales Orchestrator Christina for a candid conversation that strips sales down to what it really is. They explore how we are constantly influencing, persuading, and advocating for ourselves in ways we rarely notice, especially at work.

Instead of scripts and tactics, the focus turns to mindset. Christina shares why sales works best when it feels human, why listening often matters more than talking, and how learning to stand behind your own value can shift the way others respond to you.

As Christina puts it, “Sales is not about pushing. It’s about understanding people.”
