What do you like or dislike about sales training seminars and why?

Jaron, that's an excellent reminder for those of us in the sales training field. We shouldn't be hired to toot our own horn, but to share valuable information and skills with our clients.

When I read your post, the posts here at SalesPractice came to mind. The vast majority of SP participants try to share knowledge and ask questions, and that's great!

But some try to toot their own horn (I've been doing this or that for 12 years; I make a six figure income; I make a seven figure income; I drive a BMW 7 series; My client is a major window manufacturer in California; I've built my business so I get to go to Malaysia, I'm in demand as a trainer for my MLM company, etc, etc, etc.). Of course, none of this is verifiable, nor does it even matter because, in my experience, people can see through that type of self-centered self-promotion.

My preference is that we leave the self-promotion to our websites or blogs but join in the SP community to further the sales profession.
