Coming Soon, Sponsor Training

#1 tip for good business. Sales:

"Successful salespeople don’t need to have glossy hair and dazzling smiles. They don’t require a strong handshake, glib patter, a snazzy business card or an artful set of closing techniques. Sales is not voodoo. In fact, the sizzle scarcely matters. Over the long haul, it really is about the steak.

Great salespeople are genuinely interested in what other people have to say, and able to distinguish between corporate wind-bagging and true feelings.

What they do is not just emotionally and intellectually hard, it also requires acute self-knowledge. Depending on their personalities, some will hurl themselves eagerly into parties and treat their children’s morning drop-off as an opportunity to network. Others prefer more discreet string-pulling and favor trading. Some enjoy the patient craft of creating value around a concept, for a building, a book or a work of art.
