    Best sort of sales job for experience?

    HOT! 
    Spot on! What do you want to learn? And are there people in the places you'll go work who are willing and able to teach you? My first job out of the Navy was as a sales engineer for an underwater robotics company. Why? Because I didn't know jack about sales but the VP of Sales said he'd...

    What Are The Reasons People Buy Something?

    If you get a fee for every session, send out reminders or prompts if people haven't had a session in a while. Just like I get, what seems like daily, reminders when I haven't purchased from various websites, or the "here's what's showing in NETFLIX" emails.

    Are you a starfish, or a crab in a bucket?

    MINDSET 
    OMG, I'm such a freaking geek. Having studied the ocean since I was 8, my immediate reaction was - hey wait a minute, starfish are very destructive to the ecosystem - don't through them back. Throw the crabs back, they are an important part of recycling detritus. I can't stop laughing at...

    Hello from Malta - When do we move on or keep going?

    INTRO 
    Welcome to the forum Dana. I have fond memories of Malta from a stop there while I was in the Navy. If you have competitors making money then there's no reason you can't as well. You just need to offer better value than they do. I know, easier said than done. Especially if you need to cause...

    NOTABLE! HOT! BOOKS CHAT 
    Great book - how you doing applying its teachings? I should go back and do a quick refresher. Unfortunately, I read E-Myth Revisited while blissfully unaware of slow vs fast lane - and I'm sure you can guess which one I was in.

    Update - Just finished listening to Never Split the Difference by Chris Voss. Fantastic book and highly recommended. Back to UNSCRIPTED re-runs during the commute until I find the next book. Although I can't help but laugh at myself. I'm learning a ton from these books - but am I just action...

    Detailing requires a lot of your time UNTIL you hire employees. Remember divesting your time from the biz is one of the critical components. You say you can scale. Please discuss how you plan to scale.

    eCommerce through Personal Website Vs Amazon

    Several have commented on your sales channel questions, so I'll leave that alone. Your supply channel is also an important consideration that requires some homework. Offshore production works for products that can be manufactured to precise drawings, models, etc and in large enough quantities...

    I applaud you for continuing to look and solve challenges, great job. I don't know what a keyless-go-shielding is. As for the price you were offered for manufacture - did you request pricing for large volumes? Did you get estimates/quotes from multiple manufactures?

    Dealing with ungratitudeness

    MINDSET 
    For whatever its worth, stop being so hard on yourself. You've accomplished a ton and learned valuable lessons that will take you on to even greater things. Read TMF and UNSCRIPTED. It may help you find some focus, or at least set the juices back in motion.

    My job is all I think about and I hate it

    INTRO 
    Aloha Zone, welcome to the forum. Before you leave your current job, I recommend you finish reading TMF and, if possible, UNSCRIPTED. Most people need income to live and it will give you time to build up some reserve and plan your exit. Oddly enough, it is easier to get another job while you...

    One Day at a Time: A Message to Forum Newbies

    NOTABLE! 
    Awesome and a rightly deserved NOTABLE from MJ. Why are so many people stilted when it comes to action? Fear? Fear of what? Failure? Not doing anything is failing! As Alfred said to a young master Wayne, "why do we fail down?...so we can pick ourselves up again." OR something like that...
