John Barrows is a seasoned sales executive with over 20+ years of business experience.  He works with sales organizations throughout the United States for some of the most prolific technology companies.  He is the best-selling author of “I want to be in Sales when I grow up”, which he wrote with her daughter.  What is amazing about this story is that all of his profits of this book go to fund his daughter’s favorite charity, The World Wild Life Fun https://www.worldwildlife.org/

In this episode, we learn about John the father.  We learn about the challenges of travel as a father and how that can impact a family.  We learn some creative ways that John and his wife are instilling some amazing life skills with his daughter that we all can use as great takeaways.  

One of my favorite quotes by John in the podcast interview is that “when sales are done right, it is the best profession”.  His wisdom in that quote spoke volumes to me as we all know what it feels like to work with a bad salesperson.  He is using that experience he learned to teach his daughter the power of entrepreneurship.  

Below are his 12 Guiding Principles to Success in Sales, Business, and Life. You can also click on the link to see the details of each in an ebook.
