Sell or Die with Jeffrey Gitomer

The dreaded gatekeeper. Sometimes they feel like a Roman gladiator guarding the gate that leads to your next sale. Today we're talking to a former American Gladiator contestant who is also an expert on taking down gatekeeping gladiators. 

Our guest expert this week is Michael Altshuler, keynote speaker and host of The Results Podcast with Michael Altshuler.  

Michael Altshuler started young. At age 22 he began what would become a multi-million dollar copier business that he later sold to the multi-billion dollar giant IKON Office Solutions. Having been responsible for over $65M in personal and managed sales, Michael was one of only a select few to make it to the top of the highly competitive copier industry, placing him in the top 3% in the country. Michael quickly became recognized as a sales and peak performance leader.
