I wrote this 7 years ago and made a few changes to keep up with the times Almost 41 years ago that copier tech job that I landed did not work out for servicing copiers. On that fate full day I was told I do a great job at taking the copiers apart but not so good at putting them back together. The dealer principal pulled the Columbo close on me as I was about to leave his office. Guess I struck a nerve and I was offered a job to sell copiers.....and I never stopped. I was never was a slacker...

Let's see I entered the industry in 1980 via a State Sponsored program to put people to work in the technology industry.   I went to copier training school for a good 12 weeks to learn how to become a copier technician and was paid $3.50 per...

Art, this is your best post yet. Just goes to show that even the best of the best have to work hard for their sales!!

Hey what do you guys think of the Frank Rumbauskas and Never Cold Call theories.

Along with I am sure thousands of others, I receive a daily email asking me to sign up for his Never Cold Calling System. I am surprised you don't know of him. He reckons that cold calling is an abject waste of good selling time. In fact he reckons we are all nutters, if we go out cold calling. Here's a link to his site. And please keep me posted on what you think of his "theories" ?

thanx, I've seen the ads on linkedin however never checked it out. I will and get back to you

the reviews of this book are horrible!!! I won't even bother with it. http://www.amazon.com/Never-Co...t-reviews/0471786799

I have obviously been looking at the Authors own written reviews then Art, but I will take your word for it, that the reviews are horrible. In fact I would like to read some of them, if you can kindly tell me where to look. Like you, I still do a lot of cold calling, and every time I make a sale, I try to visit as many businesses near to the company I have just sold to, as there should be no better referral than a neighbouring business who has just bought from me. It is a habit I have had,...

Many years later I had this silly notion that I wanted to make my name synonymous with the copier industry as xerox is to a copy. What a pipe dream eh?........ read more here Check...

I wrote this blog ten years ago, however I thought it was time for a re-write since much has changed since 2014. My Top Ten Bucket List before I Retire from Selling Copiers II Let's see, I entered the industry in 1980 via a State Sponsored program to put people to work in the technology industry.
