" There will be looks on their faces of “ what’s he been smokin ” and at the very least a look of surprise or maybe even a look of shock, wondering if “you” have ever been in the profession of sales.  Most salespeople don’t necessarily think what they do is fun. In fact many will think the opposite and they are well justified in their assessment of what they do day after day.  They probably work for a company still trying to make the old ways work in a much different environment today. The art and science of SELLING has dramatically changed. Markets have changed. Buyers have changed. It is the year 2020… not 1975! TRICK Q:   DO the same old tried and true tactics still work?  NO!
