Some sales training techniques are a little outdated. Check out this 2 minute video as this rep explains to the trainer why he thinks his lessons are a little to “old school” for his liking! Have a great weekend….

Dynamic and energized sales rep, mentor and leader since 1999. This blog will be about sales, social networking, personal branding, leadership, music and having some laughs! Don’t be surprised if I mix it up on occasion though, and talk about something totally different! I thrive on being part of successful, forward thinking teams. I am ready to go from the moment my feet hit the floor each morning, with the expectation that new adventures will be coming my way. It is rare that there isn't a smile on my face, as I take it all in, and have some fun along the way!
Sell, Lead, Succeed! 
Is this about Jeffrey Gitomer?
Hmmmmm. I don’t know. I think he is pretty good at staying current, while still utilizing some tried and tested strategies. You think otherwise?
Thanks for the great laugh! The reason it was so funny, of course, is that it is so TRUE! SO many so-called sales trainers out there teaching techniques that have long since gone the way of the dodo bird … and using examples from the 70’s and 80’s … like Nordstrom’s refunding money on items they don’t sell. Ho hum! Do you do one of these every Friday?! If so, I don’t want to miss them!
Hi Susan! I am so glad this gave you a laugh today! Yeah the sales training space has certainly changed over the years, but for some reason some think it has not. I also found this video to be very funny and clever.
Have A Laugh Friday has become a bit of a weekly tradition, and I have not missed a week since I started it in February. If you want to catch up, I have a “Have A Laugh Fridays” category on my blog main page.
Have a great weekend.
Hey Susan… Here is a link to my favourite sales personalities to follow. I won’t use the word trainer, because they are much more than that.. Just in case you were interested
