Sales are Built on trust
Sales Are Based on Science
What skills do you need to compete with and prevail over the Artificial Intelligence robot? The jobs and careers that will survive in your career horizon are those related to creativity and strategy or those that engage with people in close personal and relational ways that computers cannot emulate.
Your best opportunity, and my purpose in writing this book, is for you to learn how to build and maintain close personal and professional relationships that lead to long term business success for all parties engaged. That’s called sales. At the end of the day, if you are in business, you are in sales.
