Obviously, salespeople are. And so are their leaders. Teachers are in sales since they must convince students to learn. Doctors and nurses are in sales. Parents have an awesome sales responsibility. Everyone is a teacher. Your wisdom matters. Wisdom is the combination of education and experience. Everyone we meet can teach us something and can learn from us, but we may have to "sell" our wisdom before they will buy it.  CREDENTIALS Former top salesperson out of 1,100 at A.T.&T.Successful national account manager, Inducted into the Speaker Hall of FameEarned Certified Speaking Professional designation (4-year program)Received "Lifetime Achievement Award" and "Impact Speaker of the Year" recognition from the world's largest invitation-only CEO and senior executive membership organization Decorated Vietnam veteran" If I always do what I've always done...
