I was unable to make the Sales Performance Meetup again this month and it was too bad. I was at the opening recepetion the Writers Fest (where I am blogging). I just watched the video though and really enjoyed it. I have not watched The Secret, or read the book, but maybe I should start with that, and a walk in the forest.

Raul, many thanks for posting this. I read your account and then watched the video. And I sent the URLs for this article and the video to my daughter who is working to be an actor. One of teachers of actors said: “your job is not acting, your job is finding work as an actor.” I think that philosophy is true for all of us who are running our own one-person business.

There is a process to making a sale. It is amazing that the sales process is not taught in school. Many times during our lives we find ourselves in the position of promoting an idea, a concept, a worthy enterprise, or just ourselves. Most people don’t know how, or how to do it pleasantly and with high integrity. I think that it is a necessary life-skill.

I had no idea such a group existed; I would have loved to have heard this talk.

I’m a big believer in immersing and aligning yourself with the positive. A big thing I struggled with as a marketer is the flighty networking; it just doesn’t have much substance to it. (Did I ever tell you about my old blog, Marketing Ruined My Life? That was one of the reasons behind its name.) Kudos to Anthony for saying it straight and putting relationships at NUMBER ONE.

Thanks for the heads up, Raul!
