Description: Here it is: Six Pixels of Separation – Episode #752 – Host: Mitch Joel. First, a mea culpa: I had to record the audio for this episode over Zoom. There was a glitch with my usual software (it kept crashing), so I am hopeful that you will stick with this content, because it’s important… and it matters. Who wrote the book on sales? Jeffrey Gitomer wrote the book on sales. Whether it’s The Sales Bible or The Little Red Book Of Selling, there are few who have transformed the profession of sales like Jeffrey has. Over the years, he’s become a mentor and a friend. While being locked up, we decided to jam on the state of sales and much, much more. Jeffrey isn’t shy. When your title includes the word “king,” you’d better be the global leader at what you do. No throne necessary: With just a briefcase, a MacBook Pro, a prospective customer, and a well-prepared presentation, Jeffrey has earned the crown as the King of Sales. Couple that with 40 years of hand-to-hand, face-to-face, tweet-to-tweet experience, and you have the criteria of what it takes to be called “the king.” His books include: Get Sh*t Done, Jeffrey Gitomer’s Sales Manifesto, 21.5 Unbreakable Laws of Selling, and his massive “Little Book” series that includes topics like happiness, success, trust, networking, leadership, and more. His latest book is Go Live – Turn Virtual Connections Into Paying Customers. There’s just so much more to his universe (courses, training, podcasts, and more). Looking for motivation? Looking to grow your customer base? Look no further. Enjoy the conversation…
