Great sales story here. My old sales boss sent me to an industry conference on the west coast where I knew no one. He told me, “Don’t sell just hang out. Talk about sports, your family, avoid talking about the product.” I came home with 15 strong leads. No one wants to be
The best salesman I ever encountered wore a $30k Rolex and made 6 figures off a cold email to me… And I am the worst person to ever do cold outreach to…I HATE buying anything when I’m being “sold” First response is always *delete*, unsubscribe/block or nicely decline This

The best business advice I ever received from a sales manger. 1. Nobody wants to be sold to. 2. People buy from people they like. 3. Know your customer and your product.
