Hi Boyd,

Thanks for posting this.... (Sorry I've been a bit slow in answering here of late.... Michael Ross and I have a new project we've been working on - all will be unveiled next week, or maybe even sooner!)

I think one thing this story shows is that probably anybody can be a salesperson, if they have enough tenacity. Everyone who has done sales has been rejected.... But it takes tenacity to keep going from there, and to learn from your successes and failures what works and what doesn't.

Also, I've developed an admiration for sales people.... Having done some face to face selling myself for the experience, it has made me an admirer!

Many years ago now, I asked Gordon Alexander on one of his old forums, what should I do to become successful in business? (This was before I knew Gordon personally....)

Gordon answered my post, and said - Get some face to face selling experience.

It took me a couple of years to do it, but having done it, I agree - it was excellent advice! :)
