    Are you sure your sales pitch doesn't suck?

    MARKETING 
    I talk about sales all day. It's kind of my job. One of the great things about being a sales trainer is that I get to mentor people every day and coach them on their sales techniques. And I'm pretty damn good at it. But what I really excel at is being able to look at things from a...

    Why Selling Doesn't Work

    MARKETING 
    Everyone hates being sold to. I don't know about you, but when I go to a store and a salesperson approaches me I immediately try to find a way out of the situation. A sigh followed by a thought in my head that says "Shit, man. Leave me alone" is usually my gut reaction. Whenever I receive a...
