In this, the 50th episode of The Sales History Podcast, I step into the role of prosecuting attorney to put one bold claim on trial: that the sales profession has changed dramatically in the past decade. My case? The evidence shows otherwise. Drawing on over 140 years of books, magazines, and other artifacts, I attempt to prove that the foundational principles of selling are the same today as they were over 100 years ago. Decide the verdict for yourself.
