The Intuitive Salesman Series


I have not been hired, or employed by a company in the past 13 years.  This is not to say
that I haven't worked.  I have worked my tail off!  I have either been self employed -
president of my own corporation or worked as a consultant - contractor for hire.  There was
of course that brief 16 month period of time I was employed by the Federal Bureau of
Prisons as a door knob polisher and a stairwell sweeper for 12.5 cents an hour, but I don't
think that really counts.

As the president and sales manager of Mayne Mortgage, I was responsible for making
sure that my sales folks brought business in the door and had fun doing it.  I gave each
new hire a copy of the classic 1992 movie, Glengarry Glen Ross by David Mamet.  Among
other things, this movie depicts a certain type of no nonsense selling.  Some of my sales
theories and lessons were inspired by this movie.  The rest came to me as a result of
thousands of successes and failures.

No matter what business you are in, you are in sales.  You might be able to make the
argument that some government jobs don't fall under this truth.  But selling is a part of life.  
Everybody sells.

What is selling?  What does it take to make a sale?  How do you turn a prospect into a
customer?  Does it take two round spheres of brass?  In the end, it's all about getting them
to sign on the line which is dotted.  The real question is - how do you get to the point where
you push the sales agreement across the table, hand your prospect the pen and say, "The
time is now."

In my Intuitive Salesman Series I will be covering many of the sales and marketing
techniques I have used over the years.
