Running with you the Sales Rep
Yep at the age of 10 I was cold calling, how did it begin, that was nearly 51 years back in the day.
We lived in Rhodesia, now zim, folks took us on holiday to Durban, SA, 3 day drive, my Old man enjoyed his fishing, we were as I learnt in later years a lower middle income family.
We stayed in flats, many flats on the street with holiday makers, Yep you guessed it my dad would catch fish during the day (SHAD) great eating fish. Fish packed in an ice box, all cleaned.
Told son, go knock on doors, do not come back till all fish sold, and money accounted for.
that money was then, in part used to buy more bait, buy us, my sister and I ice cream etc, and my folks Scotch, which was hard to buy back home.
Did I learn stuff, sure, big time, but only really kicked in from age 17 when I did part time sales in the holidays, INTERESTING
Till next time go sell your way to Success
