Default Fortunately for me,

I'm one of those people doing what that love. Although my business sounds like heavy duty sales, I'm really just your average guys who enjoys helping people. I work with clients face to face or online, find and get the products they want or need with their business name and logo added to it.

I have a lot of friends, because I have a lot of customers. Some of them were total strangers who have been buying from me for 10 to 18 years.

I don't like high-pressure or confrontational selling. I don't have to win the sale, and I can walk out and never see that client again.

In addition, I sponsor others who want to start their own dealership, and I truly enjoy helping them start from scratch and build it. They have to put forth an serious effort, but I'll assist them if they are willing to work.

I love being self-employed, setting my own hours, choosing who I want to work with, etc. You can't understand how wonderful it is to fire a bad customer, unless you've been an employee without that option. Discovering that made my life a whole lot more enjoyable.

I'm not yet at the stage of not needing to work for the money, but I have reached the point where I'm controlling the money rather than it controlling me.

I'm already planning my retirement, having just reached 50. Stop by Sulphur, LA (If I still live here) in November, 2049. I've promised my wife if I'm still alive at 97, I'll retire then.

Besides, I've got too many good customers who won't let me quit. If they don't see me, they call with their orders.

With 47 more years to go, maybe I'll get to travel around the entire US and meet several of my internet customers and friends. I've already had the privilege of meeting Mel. White up in DFW last year. One down, a couple hundred more to go.

So Boyd, where do I look you up in my travels/

Sincerely,

Dennis Bevers




Not all sales involves high pressure and confrontation!
