How many of you are planning a career in sales
(show of hands)?
Anything less then a 100% show of hands is not
acceptable…

We usually think of SELLING
PRODUCTS SERVICES
ORBOTH

Selling
Yourself ?

Remember this truism…..
I don’t care what career path you are on. The reality is that you must sell yourself before you sell your skills.
I am talking about your “persona”---about how others see you as a human being.
I choose to call it “personal salesmanship”.

Who would you hire?
Joe has a 4.0 g.p.a. Also, he is a “slug”.
He is slovenly—conceited—surly--doesn’t bathe too frequently—has no friends---yet his grades are tops.
Bill has a 3.0 g.p.a. He is personable—well liked—outgoing—a good listener—enjoys working with others—and he bathes frequently.

The video you are going to see……
is focused on those who are planning a career in sales and what it takes to become a top salesperson.
But following my own thesis----that we sell ourselves before we sell our skills, I believe there is something you can learn from this video even though you’re not going into sales as we traditionally think of “sales”.

A review of Brian Tracey’s web-site could very easily lead you to the conclusion that he walks on water.
My own criteria is simple: Would I pay to hear him speak? Right now, the only person on my “pay to hear list” is George Carlin.
There is some good information in this video---but you will have to decide if you would pay to hear him speak.
