A discussion about sales, sales tips and advice, and about those who land the deal

If you need some good role-modeling to start your week off right, Danny Reid is your man. 

He's been selling door-to-door, commission only for 40 years.  And, he's still going strong.  And loving his job.

Here's a quick snipet of an excellent article from his local newspaper in the UK, quoting Danny on his career:

"Each year, I start by saying the same thing: Think big and have a high outlook. You have to be optimistic in this job. Ask any successful man in any walk of life and he will tell you that once having tasted success and enjoyed the high earnings, it urges you to do more and more."

What an amazing attitude!  He loves his sales job, appreciates his customers, and looks at the positives of a job that quite frankly doesn't hold much prestige here in the U.S. (probably because 99.999% of prospective door to door salespeople couldn't hold a candle to Danny's attitude and positive outlook).

Makes me wish I lived in the UK so that I could see Danny in action!
