Sales Classes


Hey guys do you know of a sales class that has proven worthwhile? I find myself pretty rusty on the sales game and it is starting to show in our business.
I don't know if something like that can be done online. I would doubt that it might work very well. I'd be willing to do like a 3-4 day quickie class somewhere in the midwest. If you see or know about anything please post it.
Merry Christmas,
Dave C

Thanks vinylguy, checked that web site out had never heard of them. Back when I was into sales several years ago all you could really get were cassette tapes of like Zig Ziglar and such. They were helpful, but now I'm sure there is a lot of good sales stuff out there. I just am not up with what is available these days. My job used to be to sell chimney jobs. That was tough, folks spend money on most anything but a chimney? Come on! Can't see it, touch it, show it off, etc.
Anyway thanks,
Dave C

Re: Sales Classes


I've been to a few, but I never really got anything out of them more that I got off the tapes. The seminars are basicly a recycled version of the tapes, but live and in person, along with some sales pitch for the books and tapes for sale in the back of the room. I got the most education from tapes by Zig Ziglar and Brian Tracy.

Those guys are both really good, I would guess it's been 15 years since I've heard their tapes. Did have a lot of them but not now. DVD probably more powerful, expect they have them by now.
