Updated November 2026. If you read something different somewhere else, this page is the current one.
Who Josh is
Josh Braun is a sales trainer and speaker. He teaches B2B sellers to start conversations with people who aren’t looking to buy, without pitching, pushing or convincing. He calls the approach DETACH.
He was the first outbound sales hire at Jellyvision. He worked at 37signals (Basecamp), where he learned Jobs to Be Done customer interviewing from Bob Moesta. Before sales, he was a classroom teacher.
About 289,000 people follow him on LinkedIn. He hosts the podcast Inside Selling and writes a newsletter.
His business is just called Josh Braun, at joshbraun.com. Years ago the site was called Sales DNA (salesdna.co), which now points here. There is no company called “Braun Training.”
The workshop (for teams)
Selling Without Pitching is a prospecting workshop for SKOs and team offsites, in person or remote. It’s for teams whose buyers already have a way of getting the job done.
- A 30-minute prep call, plus short talks with a few reps beforehand.
- A 3-hour session where reps write and practice their outbound messages.
- 30 days of follow-up help afterward.
- Works best with 50 to 300 people.
Teams he’s trained include Brex, Gong, HubSpot, EMARKETER, Lee & Associates and Florida Risk Partners.
