Maybe I need to be a bit more controversial to get more response on the Everyone needs a sales job post! Or maybe, just maybe, the majority of you have to agree that EVERYONE should have at least one (or more) sales job(s) in their lifetime. Here's a bit more about my background in sales: My first year out of…

One of the common quotes I share with clients is "Small Success leads to Big Success!" To be really good at anything takes time, effort, determination, and, bottom-line - HARD WORK! There's no such thing as "something for nothing" or "get rich quick". Granted, some may fall in to lots of money or inherit millions, but for most successful entrepreneurs,…

You can get exposure and work your way up the social ladder by siphoning off their brand value. But I think there is far more value in featuring them and recommending them…

So which comes first: narrowing down the niche idea or finding suppliers? It's like the chicken or the egg question! This is a question that is coming to my attention more and more as I teach others how to build their own internet businesses.

The title states it clearly: everyone should have at least one sales job in their lifetime. Debatable, isn't it!? "Sales guys are scam artists." "Salesman are unethical." "I hate sales people."

Here are a few thoughts to help us sharpen the use of our time: 1) Set Goals Write down goals (a goal unwritten is only a wish) A goal has to be useful, measurable and attainable Prioritize goals - ask yourself "What's most…

Don't know why it has taken me so long to do this. I think the inspiration came from a good friend of mine, Mr. Stull, owner and operator of www.exceptionalconsultants.com.
