About me
Hi there, I'm Greg and I'm the owner of my website on "Selling and Persuasion Techniques" and author of two books on Amazon (a third book is coming this year)
I have been involved in sales, in one form or another, for 38 years. For the last 15 years of that, I have been involved in mentoring salespeople one on one, creating free sales advice on my website, and writing several books on sales skills. As you can see I have a desire to help other salespeople live a good life, free themselves of money worries and retire early just like I did.
HOW I TEACH SALES:
Although I prefer to teach sales face-to-face, in this course my training will mostly be a "talking head" superimposed over relevant slides. I will be speaking directly to you (like the one-on-one mentoring I prefer).
If you have any questions please submit them in the Q&A section. I'm happy to help!
MY BACKGROUND:
I sold B2B for almost 25 years mostly in Industrial sales of some form. I sold into many industries including paint, plastics, furniture, tanning, agriculture, rubber, construction, adhesives, inks, food, cosmetics, and veterinary. And I negotiated supply contracts to import goods into Australia from the USA, UK, Canada, Germany, Netherlands and Japan.
Naturally, I attended many sales training courses at home and overseas and I'm an avid reader of sales and management books. During my 25 years, I was trained in the Lee DeBois sales system, Consultative Selling, and Persuasion Engineering. I also obtained a Master Practitioner in NLP.
Being in sales is one thing but doing it well is another. I have sold as much as $ 8 million in a year (back in 1990-2003). My worst-ever result was 94% of budgeted sales and 99% of budgeted profit. I sold my way to a shareholding in the last company I worked for and was semi-retired at the age of 46.
My motivation during my sales career was to help companies achieve their desires. Over the years I have become more interested in helping salespeople rather than helping companies. My desire is to make the world a better, happier place one salesperson at a time.
I hope you join me on this journey. I loved selling and I love to watch people improve their skills. Hopefully, you’ll join me so I can help you improve your sales skills too.
