Sales, sales, sales, sales, sales, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell. Period.

Tom Peters has been doing a series of video blogs, vlogs, vimeos for a current competitor. His latest is: Yes, You Are in Sales! It resonates with me. It is something I have been telling everyone that has worked for me. From the first help desk tech to my current process engineer. If you are going to get ANYWHERE, you need to be selling. It is a 24/7 thing. Or you can stay in your veal fattening pen and wither and die.

From the transcript:

"You’re an engineer, you’re an accountant, you’re an MBA, you’re a person involved in the technical stuff. Oh no, you aren’t. If you’re going to be remembered for having gotten things done, you are a salesman in the morning, you are a salesman in the afternoon, you’re a salesman at lunch, you’re a salesman at dinner. And then you dream about it at night. Sales, sales, sales, sales, sales, sell, sell, sell, sell, sell. Period."
