And it was long enough—to learn one of the best lessons.
The fellow I was attached to for my training day was a rumpled dumpling. He was the exact opposite of what you’d expect the company’s top salesperson to look like. He wasn’t cleanly shaven, didn’t speak well, and appeared in every single way to be pathetic.

<Over the past 7 to 8 years, I’ve heard a lot of execs tell me they don’t have time to “set up systems”, “hold meetings”, and/or “measure results”.

Unlocking the back door of the hot dog shaped appliance, he deftly retrieved a full bag of soot and swiftly plopped it in a pile in the center of her rug.

“Oh, my gosh, look at that!” she gasped, reciting her role perfectly in this domestic drama.
Suffice it to say, he sold her this Cadillac of cleaners, and I walked with him to the curb, in a daze of my own.
We drove back to headquarters, and he and the big boss debriefed me. What did I think? Could I do this?
