Isn't it true that opportunity knocks every single day?  Sometimes it's obvious and we answer the call and other times opportunity wears a costume and is difficult to recognize.  We tend to shy away from a shrouded opportunity - mistaking it for something frivolous or scary or irrelevant. 

And, the truth is that a well-disguised opportunity is difficult to distinguish from a mistake or a dead-end or even a scam.  How then to sort out opportunities for growth and advancement from those that are merely come-ons with a win-lose proposition?

For me, it comes down to trust and credibility.  The greater the commitment required on my part, the greater the trust and credibility must be on the other side to get me to partake.  I'm sure it's the same for you.  All of this preamble is to assure you that I understand the critical eye with which you view offers as I am just as critical and wary as you.

With all of that said, I can honestly tell you that the time to invest in your present is now and the person with whom you should entrust your advancement and growth is Tom Freese, author of Question Based Selling.  I first became aware of Mr. Freese's book when a friend of mine told me that his organization had just hired Mr. Freese to train their national sales staff.  This is a big company with a sales force in every major city in America.  I was curious about the credentials required of one hired for such a heady job.  I checked out www.qbsresearch.com to find out with whom my friend was dealing.

As it turns out, Mr. Freese was the author of three books about selling at that time and was recommended by some pretty big companies.  Uh, like Microsoft where he had recently been named "Trainer of the Year".  So, I bought his first three books and read each in about three weeks.

Mr. Freese has developed a training concept that works for modern sellers who have to deal with electronic gatekeepers and wary decision makers.  Forget about a rehash of the concepts we've been taught for the past 50 years as Mr. Freese starts with a blank page and builds a system for today.  What I especially loved was that the first book, Question Based Selling, is like a sales textbook while the second book  I read is a series of lessons based from first person stories and selling anecdotes (It Only Takes 1% to Have a Competitive Edge).

Here is the big news:  Mr. Freese is hosting a Question Based Selling Training Summit in Atlanta on April 2nd and 3rd.  This is the first time ever that the public has been invited to register for his training.  The time for you to invest in your present is right now.  Go to this link and register for the summit.

If you aren't in Atlanta or you can't get here for this major sales event then at least buy a few of Mr. Freese's books and find out why I'm such a big fan.>
