Innovation comes in many forms, and compliance professionals need not only to be ready for it but also to embrace it. Join Tom Fox, the Voice of Compliance, as he visits with top innovative minds, thinkers, and creators in the award-winning Innovation in Compliance podcast. In this episode, host Tom visits with Dr. Dennis Cummins to discuss his new book, “Invitational Selling: The Human Connection Advantage.”

Dr. Dennis Cummins, a globally recognized authority on invitational selling, champions a sales approach that prioritizes building authentic connections over traditional hard-sell techniques. Rooted in his extensive experience selling from the stage, Dr. Cummins believes in the transformative power of meaningful conversations to understand and effectively meet customer needs. His philosophy is detailed in his new book, “Invitational Selling: The Human Connection Advantage,” which promotes inviting customers to engage rather than pressuring them into a purchase, fostering authentic relationships that extend beyond mere transactions. Proceeds from the book benefit the Make-A-Wish Foundation. His book also underscores the potential of invitational selling to inspire collaboration within organizations and families, reflecting his commitment to empowering others through shared skills and talents.
