From the time I was old enough to grasp the concept of sales I knew I wanted to be involved. My dad was in sales, I wanted to be in sales. At the tender age of 17, I was still under the false impression that sales and marketing were the same thing. Eventually I went to school for a specialized degree in business/marketing, while working part-time selling home fire safety systems and found out a very distressing fact. I'm not a salesman. I enjoyed observing them in action but when it came right .
