OMG You gotta see this

LOL~ Not really, but now that your here let me introduce myself

Hey everyone, I've been in sales/customer service industry for over 14 years, I honestly belive no matter how much or how little expierence one has they can learn something everyday. In fact it's my opinion of course, but once you think you know it all you start to get tunnel vision, and actually loose focus on whatever goal you are trying to accomplish, and I would hope being in sales that goal would be to make alot of money. Honestly I never even knew that this site existed until very recently, and I just want to say hello, and thanks for having me, I hope to learn alot from you guys/gals and I will try and contribute as much as possible. I know great things can come out of a community like this I am eager to learn new things, ask for advice when needed, contribute when I can and just simply bounce ideas around like minds. Thanks in advance for all of the knowledge that I am sure to gain.

P.S. - Sorry for the miss-spelling I have to admit that I am addicted to spell check

Mr. Whitty,

Thanks for the kind words I look forward to participating in this community, but right now I'm just going to sit in the baby pool and get my feet wet, atleast until I get a feel of things.

To everyone else, I don't bite, and if I do, it wont leave a mark I've noticed that I've attracted 8 views, but only one post What gives? Come back and say hello, I'm lonely

I always say I learn something new every 7 minutes. I made my first sales call on April 2, 1973. Maybe if you give us more bait you will get more posts. {{Sales/customer service/industry}}
What industry? Sales D2D, B2B, B2C? Customer service? Call Center? In-bound, out-bound? what part of the country? What do you want to get from this site in the next 30 days?

Howdy Pittsburgh, most of what you ask is readily availible on my profile, however I will give you some bait.

I have been in the sales/customer service industry for over 14 years, in that time I've sold many different commodities, 7 years ago I formed a company that specialized in high end landscape, design and construction, I literally started with nothing, and grew my company in just seven short years to annual sales exceeding two million dollars, and an inventory of material and equiptment of over a million dollars. In June of 2006 I teamed up with a collegue, who's specialty was in the sportscape sector, allowing him to keep more work in-house, I increased his annual revenues thirty percent, and in January of 2007, I sold the company to him. Since that time I've been investing in real estate, and I just recently got into New Home Sales. I grew up in the Houston Texas area and currently live in one of it's suburbs. As far as what I want to get out of this site in the next thirty days, I haven't put much thought into it, However I will say this If I don't get anything else out of it in that time I would be happy with that, but I plan on using this site as a medium to keep my skills honned, and a place to get some creative marketing ideas for this new venture that I have recently taken on. Thanks for your intrest.

Thank you for an explanation on your career. Profile Huh? I didn't think to look at that first which brings me to another topic of which I might start my own thread called. "User Manual" Does this website have a user manual? I click on a post that was today and start reading posts that were in 2007 or worse yet 2006?? I then realize that I need to go to the bottom and page through all the pages to get to the most current post. There must be an easier way. And when I wanted to respond to your post, as I am doing now, there was no button to do so. I had to go clear back to "Hone" and start over in order to see a Quote or Reply or Reply with Quote button. And what are all those buttons for??
Anyway, I'm not looking to have you answer all these questions, unless you can answer one question. Is there a use manual somewhere on this web site? Thanks

Hi Pittsburgh. Welcome to the community. I found that the FAQ explains a lot like a user manual would. http://www.salespractice.com/forums/...sting_messages

I also found that old threads like from 2004, 2005, 2006 get closed so there are no buttons available.
