Did You Know I'm a Public Speaker?

As you know, I've written a humorous book on sales, titled "You're Going To Be Great At This!" And before I wrote the book I began working on my speaking skills at Toastmasters. Since the book's release, I've spoken to civic groups, teachers, and even had some seminars. I think I'd like to do  more.

So I'm looking for groups who need a speaker. "What kind of groups?" you ask. Since my talks are based on sales, marketing and networking, my favorite groups are people who are just getting into sales, such as realtors, insurance agents and network marketers. If you are someone who falls into one of these categories, or a state or regional manager of an organization, please contact me. I'd love to talk to you and find out how I can speak to your sales team.

But what if your group doesn't do sales? That's okay too. You see, we all are in sales everyday, trying to get family members, co-workers and others to "buy in" to our ideas or agendas. I enjoy talking to groups who aren't in sales professionally, but love learning about selling techniques to use as life hacks.

No matter if you have a group of sales pros or rookies or even those who don't sell for a living, I can still share actionable insights for you group.

My Short Post On Social Media

Are you leveraging social media to help your business? Are you posting daily and creating content like the "experts" say to do? Most importantly, are you getting results? I've tried using most of the more popular platforms for my insurance business, as well as my writing and speaking business. To say the results are "mixed" would be generous. This may be because I really haven't invested much into advertising on these platforms.  The way I see it, when Facebook, for example, allows me to set up a free page for my business, that is like a "free trial" to see if I can get any interest in my product or service. After nearly 15 years of this trial period, I have garnered little to no business.  One can come up with two arguments here. The first is why would you throw money at advertising when you haven't seen any returns. The other side is that "you could have done better if you had quit being a tight ass penny pincher." Fair enough. But ...

Another Fun Podcast Experience

Over the last few years I have realized that I really enjoy being a guest on podcasts. I've been featured as a guest on about a dozen and they have always been fun. The hosts are as diverse as their podcasts. One host was apparently in the Middle East while others were comedians or local entrepreneurs.  Recently I was asked to share my experiences on the Sales Hindsight with Patrick Kagan of the PK Solutions Group. I met Patrick through a group on LinkedIn and he has been a great supporter of my work, even contributing a blurb for my newest book, "Nearly Motivated".  He's an internationally renowned author and speaker as well.  We had a great talk and I wanted to share it with you. We discuss branding yourself and using humor, among other topics. Patrick is a skilled host and makes the podcast informative AND interesting.  Take a listen here and let me know what you think.

Do You Use Salty Language?

Let me start with saying that there are only two times when someone is okay using profanities. The first is if the "curser" is under 3 years of age. There's something oddly adorable about a toddler dropping f-bombs, especially when the parents of said child feign any knowledge of "where she heard that". Fun and cute at the same time. The other situation would be if the person using blue language is over the age of 85 and female. Hearing grandma threaten to "stomp a mudhole in your ass!" would make every kid laugh because they knew she wasn't that serious. This example is only made better by memories of my Greek grandmother watching professional wrestling and yelling at the TV.  Get your copy of "Nearly Motivated" here  https://tinyurl.com/3tp37psa In other than these two situations, keep the cursing to yourself, or your friend group. And maybe that group of guys from church you hang out with. But definitely keep it away from work and prof...
