(#19) George Leith: Reinvent Yourself At Any Age


Listen Later

In this episode, we meet George Leith, a man who took the non-traditional path long before it was in vogue to do so.  He was largely responsible for acquiring more than 30,000 customers worldwide as the Chief Customer Officer at Vendasta and today is the managing partner at Harvard Media in Saskatchewan. But George is more than a high-octane sales executive … he’s a teacher whose true super power is listening. He's a captivating storyteller who tells it like it is and cares about the success of those he works with. He is the greatest seller I’ve ever met because he’s also one of the most personable, caring, entertaining human beings you’ll come across.
These are George's lessons:
3:53 -- One jaw-dropping presentation
8:59 -- A room full of fear
12:12 -- Is sales sleazy?
16:01 -- Skipping university
19:33 -- Dumpster fires and chaos
22:11 -- Don't lie, especially not to yourself
24:20 -- Removing toxic influences
30:36 -- I'm not an expert, I'm an interpreter
34:47 -- My greatest influence
37:52 -- Invest in yourself
42:10 -- A prairie farm analogy
45:30 -- Reinvention at any age
