Introduction	I entered the sales profession by mistake, or necessity. I was working as a disc jockey making minimum wage and it wasn't paying the bills, so when a sales position opened, I took it. One thing that has bothered me throughout my sales career is the reaction received from people when you tell them you are in sales. They automatically don't trust you too much, think you're probably a "fast talker" and have the "gift of gab." I really enjoy teaching people how to connect. It used to be said in sales that you couldn't teach people how to connect and now we know, through brain science, this is not true. I am a John Maxwell Certified coach, teacher, trainer and speaker. I am also a Mike Bosworth Affiliate and teach storytelling as an influence strategy to business executives, salespeople and job seekers as well as teaching leadership skills through one-on-one and group training for companies.
