Favourite sales related quote?
“People love to buy, but hate to be sold.” or use my own, “Don’t be a salesy weirdo.”
Which sales book has had the most positive impact on you?
There are so many. I would say a few actually SPIN Selling, Challenger Sale, Ultimate Sales Machine, and Pitch Anything. For non sales books, Thinking Fast and Slow, Subliminal, Influence, and the Power of Habit (I love psychology, neuroscience, and influence stuff)
Who / What inspires you?
Well, my Mom is the big inspirer. She always has great perspective and a winning attitude. And I love seeing people go after what they want – it doesn’t need to be material or capitalistic. Just working towards what they believe in. Business, art, athletics, spirituality.
What aspect of your own personal development are you most focused on improving at the moment?
My spirituality and calmness. Really trying to go after goals and not have them consume me. Structuring work around freedom and giving
Hobbies, Interests?
Recently started playing guitar, just got a new house on the water, so we are playing with our new kayaks. Love to golf, and drink whiskey.
