So this week I have some real gems to discuss. Tim Rohrer the crowned prince of media sales demonstrates what not to do from one of his own experiences.  Read about his Olympic sized missteps in his post: A selling dilemna Yes Tim knows there is a spelling issue of epic proportions in his title!

Next we have another Gem from the Sales Management 2.0 site of Brad Trnavsky. BB Hainsworth asks an important question in “How much  is hiting costing you?”

Fianlly a parting thought because I am in the midst of a rough day. It is always unfortunate when you lose touch with people, especially when you were so close for so long. One person I have not seen in years who meant so much to me in high school and my early days in California was my frend Miles Decotiis. Miles and I grew from long haired metal playing teenagers to adults of the fight club X-generation reality.

I found out today, that one May 8th he died in a car accident. Miles was an inspiration to me in my youth. If not for him, I would have never moved to California or really taken the guitar seriously. If not for Miles I would have never broken out of my book wormish hide and developed the joy of interaction and relationships that I do today. Withut Milo, my best friend, who knows if I would have made it through high school with my mental state intact. His free spirit and carefree attitude were bar none, and nothing less that viral. If anyone I knew showed me the mettle it would one day take for me to perservere in sales, it was Milo. I will miss you my compadre, and wherever you are, I know snakes sing and eagles dance for a moment by your side.

Your fried freckled friend,

Karl
