The first job of most billionaires was... drum-roll... SALES! Not a big surprise to many I guess. Many very successful people recommend to learn sales as soon as possible, including many on this forum. I have to admit that I didn't spend any time honing my sales skills... mostly to stay...

Truth be told, I may have been a warm lead since I use one of their products, but I couldn't stop laughing. "You're calling me to sell me on inbound marketing?" The internet is phenomenal for many things, but it can't replace the phone call. I run a LOT of fb ads, it's become my fulltime job...
