...great story...did phone sales for autotrader in my late teens and i am still unpacking the trauma...someone did try to have phone sex with me once so maybe it was worth...love the moxie of this piece though...never give up on what you want because if you do there is a 100% chance you will never get it...now to keep pitching my space dinosaurs movie to this guy next to me at the airport who works at Hallmark...

I knew I liked you for a reason... Anyone who has been on the front lines trying to sell something is my friend... You must have a sexy voice...

Thank you Carl. Glad you enjoyed it! You know better than me the power of elegant persistence after being in the sales trenches for as long as you have.

You've been elegantly persistent trying to get me to join your company and it may pay off eventually :)

What a fabulous story and message Arman. They say professional golfers have to have memories of a flea. So too do excellent salesmen.

A wonderful example of placing intention over outcome. And when it comes to love, that’s important.

Appreciate that James. Glad you enjoyed it! Haha yes that is so true. There's incredible power in being able to instantly forget that terrible shot you just took and swing again!
