In order to share ideas and hopefully start conversations I wanted to publish two ongoing segments one on what I’m calling basic skills like listening and one on specific sales skills.
If you’re interested in discussing these topics feel free to comment on the article or head over to the group “why not” (here) that i started in order to pull in people from diverse backgrounds to share, discuss and improve upon ourselves and help those around us. If it sounds like something you want to try join us because why not?
