5 Reasons to Buy My Book

Although I sell insurance I also enjoy speaking engagements and promoting my book. I enjoy having three things going at once because each of them promotes the others. When I speak, I give examples of my insurance stories, which I mention are in the book. When someone reads my book, they learn that I'm an insurance agent and a speaker. And all of my insurance clients know that I've written a book, and most of them have a copy of it.

As I mention in my book, first and foremost of all the products or services we sell, is ourselves. People buy from people they like and trust. By promoting my book with silly memes people see that I have a sense of humor (somewhat deprecating) and I hope that makes them like me. I'm not going to overthink about why people would like me, I just know that if someone likes me, they'll refer me, or my business, or my book to others.

With this in mind, I hope you are subscribing to this blog, following me on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram (RIP Google+).

And I hope you do go to Amazon and purchase a copy of my book. Here are a few reasons why.

  1. It's not motivational like other books on sales. Hell, it may make you want out of the business.
  2. It gives you tools you can use immediately. You don't have to pass a course or earn my super special certification. 
  3. It's sarcastic and politically incorrect. One reader actually called me to let me know that she thought I was "profane".  I took that as a compliment.
  4. It's a light read. I've had people told me they read it one sitting. I've also had a few tell me they put it on the back of their toilet and read a chapter at a time. 
  5. Life hacks. Most of the tools and ideas I share in the book can be used in your everyday life, even if you aren't in sales. 
So I hope you click the link below and purchase a copy. And if you like it, leave a review on Amazon. Thanks!

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...
