Want to stand out in an interview? You must focus on having a great conversation The difference between a good and an average conversation is huge Most advice focuses on answering common interview questions but candidates who are engaging and interesting have a huge leg up

No lie, this book title is great. Honesty and authenticity are incredibly important qualities in sales, and most buyers are rightfully skeptical. *insert joke about sales people who lie*

Being a dad has made me a much better salesperson. If you can get your young kids to leave the park on time, you can handle most things in business. Happy Father’s Day to the dads!

Crazy trucking stat. The difference between a truck that averages 7.5 mpg versus 5.5 mpg is more than 5,000+ gallons of fuel per year! Happy Earth Day #Trucking

Posting this for some positive social peer pressure. With 47 days to go, I’ve signed up for a Marathon. I took 5 years off from running, and got back at it this January. Now I’ve got a monster goal ahead.
