Thom Singer talks about why he is excited to have had a long career in sales and how sales should be celebrated in a company. "Social Selling" does not work for most companies, and we have to get back to being focused on the human-to-human, belly-to-belly sales skills in order to grow a businesses bottom line.

Thom recommends before every conversation with client or prospects that you ask yourself what it is they want from this interaction. Zig Ziglar said it best.... "You can have anything you want in life, if you help others get what they want in life"
