The place to come for more appointments, more people in the door, and more sales!℠

‘The sky’s the limit!’ ... to the degree we think of things in that way and act along those lines.

How Important Skill?
You might agree selling skills aren’t rare. Children have them as they prove when they ask you to do things, or buy them things. Yet only with the right attitude and mental blueprint for taking action can your salesperson raise your revenue. Isn‘t that what you want?

~~Time~~ Self Management:

“One of the illusions of life is that the present hour is not the critical, decisive hour. Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year. No man has learned anything rightly, until he knows that every day is Doomsday.”

— Ralph Waldo Emerson

Cold Calling Is a Waste of Time

… or so the man says.

I picked up some free MP3 audios from Frank Rumbauskas Jr. of NeverColdCall.com.

He teaches the cold calling doesn’t work. And yet, I’ve made it work before.

So I’m trying to think, what’s this Frank guy about? Is this just his marketing schtick so he can sell books and audios? Or does he have a leg to stand on?

Well the audios were enjoyable, but anything sounds good when there’s no other person to criticize it or reality to test it.

On the other hand, Stephan Schiffman is a man whose books I read years ago. I recently snatched up an excellent book of his with both hands, “Make It Happen Before Lunch”, for $12 at the neighbourhood used book store. Heck, I sat down then and there and read it for 40-minutes before they threw me out at closing so I had to buy it.
