First posts are hard. I don’t think many people ever see a first post, so why bother with some introduction. On the other hand, why waste a good post when no one will see it. So what do you write for a first post; an introduction, a super cool, well articulated, big bang post that announces your arrival onto the blogosphere stage or something in the middle? Not sure I have an answer.
Because I can’t tell you what you’ll get out of this first post, I’ll share what you’ll get out of the rest. If I do this right, you’ll get my thoughts on how to sell, sales leadership, marketing, customer service, business analysis and management. I have been selling for a long time and in ways you wouldn’t think of as sales. I’m an entrepreneur, most recently founder and CEO of cre8Buzz (cre8Buzz R.I.P., we’ll talk about that experience in this blog a few times I’m sure). I’m a Sales Executive who has been lucky enough to have some of the best sales teams and organizations ever assembled. From these unique experiences, I’ll string together some interesting posts.
Sales is at the heart of everything. It can be direct or indirect, it permeates our business lives and our social lives. If you have a spouse, then you know what it feels like to close the biggest sale of your life . . . cause at the end of the day everything is sales.
Growing a business, building a Twitter following, getting a promotion, getting hired, growing your blog readership, getting your kids to do the dishes all have sales, management, leadership and marketing at their root. If you don’t believe me, stick around for awhile and let’s see if I can change your mind.
I hate first posts, thank god a blog only has one. Is anyone reading this? Bueller, Bueller, Bueller????
