The Search For The World’s Greatest Salesperson… Are You The One?

Hi everyone, I don’t know if I am the greatest salesperson in the world but I’m thinking it would be fun to enter this contest. The Search for the World’s Greatest Salesperson. Is anyone interested in sharing their thoughts with me?

Not Just for the Money but Also What we Become in its Making

I was asked a few weeks ago to give a talk to some bright students who were graduating from the MBA program at Thompson Rivers University (TRU). I thought I’d also include my thoughts here on my blog.

I started with saying that I believe I’ve learned six key principles for achieving entrepreneurial success. I also said I’m confident that when you choose to follow and implement these fundamental tenets you will not only achieve success in business but also in life.

In my last post M was for Merchandise and now E is for Engage. I know that I am not doing them in order BUT the A is for Advertise is taking longer than I had hoped in an effort to make it easy to understand but still effective… hopefully A will be my next post.

The Google Monopoly – How to Monopolize Google and Market Your Business.

I’ve been trying to think of ways to simplify and better explain marketing a business through Google. How do I cover all of the marketing techniques and considerations? What does it all mean?

On my way to Toronto
