🔵 NEW: The People I Misjudged and the Lessons They Taught Me | @WorkedForMeBook by Jeff Burgess buff.ly/J6gMRw6 I wasn’t “book-smart,” and I saw that as an advantage. I opened the company as a “selling CEO.” Having CEO on your business card as a salesperson was awesome!

🔵 NEW: The People I Misjudged and The Valuable Life Lessons They Taught Me | @ItWorkedForMeBook by Jeff Burgess https://buff.ly/J6gMRw6

Perhaps I had a healthy dose of arrogance when I founded BCD back in 1999. After all, my sales career literally started in a warehouse and grew from there. I certainly wasn’t “book-smart” in life, and perhaps I saw that as an advantage. I opened the company as a “selling CEO.” Having CEO on your business card as a salesperson was awesome!

🔵 NEW: The Art of Selling: Why Trust and Confidence Win in Business Every Time buff.ly/8mymG8c by @WorkedForMeBook The most important product a salesperson offers any potential customer is their word. This is where trust begins...

The most important product a salesperson offers any potential customer is their word. This is where trust begins, and for that matter, where trust could end just as well.

Confidence sells. Confidence is contagious. Confidence creates momentum. But where does that confidence come from? It comes from you! Sure, “winging it” works to a point, but it doesn’t have substance. Depth does.

🌞 NEW: The Absolute Best Time to Market Your Book Is Before It Exists by @BadRedheadMedia (free) geni.us/MarketBookBeforeExis… Readers can't buy a book they've never heard of from an author they don't know...I recently shared one of my more popular articles from a few years ago that always ruffles a few feathers: How to Market a Book That Doesn’t Exist Yet, and one of the responses was, “Why would you??” to which I thought, “Why wouldn’t you?” There are clearly several ‘sides’ to this issue, which brings me to Independence Day. July 1995: The trailer for Independence Day showed us giant alien ships, destroyed the White House and NYC, answered exactly zero questions, and then had the nerve to disappear for a year like a bestselling author who swears the next book is almost finished. The first teaser debuted on Independence Day 1995, a full year before the film’s July 1996 release. It revealed almost nothing about the plot, but it didn’t need to. The marketing created a question big enough that audiences spent the next twelve months wanting the answer. Marketers still learn from the campaign today, thirty years later. The best time to market your book isn't launch week; it's before you've finished writing it. 💥 Gratitude to my exclusive advertising sponsor, the always-free @Booklinker, and the paid tool, @GeniusLink. Love and use both! Click for the rest. Free to read and subscribe.

Mike Grossman knows a lot about success in the startup world, but he may know even more about failure. For the better part of the past three decades, Grossman has been either a founder or a CEO in Silicon Valley (including leading a fast-growing company that made the Inc. 5000 list).
