Confessions of a Professional People-Persuader: Sales Tales & Random Trails

Ever wonder what goes through the mind of someone who’s sold everything from coconut water to consulting services for enterprise financial transformation projects? Welcome to my corner of the internet, where sales strategies meet shower thoughts, and customer relationship management collides with random facts about medieval castle architecture (because why not?).
After a decade of dancing through boardrooms, living off commission, and perfecting the art of making small talk with CEOs while secretly hoping my spinach salad isn’t stuck in my teeth, I’ve decided to share my insights with the world. Not because I’m particularly wise, mind you, but because I’ve made enough mistakes to fill a handbook titled “What Not to Do in Sales, Volume 1-27.”
Here’s what you can expect: battle-tested sales techniques that actually work, peppered with occasional digressions about why dolphins have regional accents or how ancient Mesopotamians would have handled modern cold calling. I promise to keep it real, keep it relevant, and occasionally keep it ridiculous – because let’s face it, if you can’t laugh at yourself trying to salvage a pitch while your demo software crashes spectacularly, what can you laugh at?
So grab your favorite beverage (mine’s triple-shot espresso, because sleep is for people who don’t have quarterly targets), and join me on this adventure through the wild world of sales and the even wilder landscape of my wandering mind.
