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

Salespeople have bad reputations???

Yes, thanks to guys like Dennis Lee, who is racking up fines in the state of Washington for pitching "free electricity from magnets" and trying to sell a "car engine that runs on pickle juice." 

No, I'm not kidding...

Here's a sample of the story in the Seattle Times:

Last week he demonstrated several products to an audience of about 50 people in downtown Seattle. He poured steak sauce, mouthwash, pop and other liquids into a fuel tank and started up an engine. He advertised paint that could insulate walls and a device that "can burn ordinary tap water to cut, weld and braze metal."

And we wonder why the words "sales" and "person" are not highly regarded in these United States?

Thanks a lot, Dennis.
