A Discussion on Business Sales with Annie P. Ruggles

Annie P. Ruggles got her start in that crucible of all successful salespeople; musical theater.  After moving up - being pushed up, more accurately - through the ranks at the  theater house, she found herself in the role of marketing manager without any  training or experience and discovered a knack for promotion. After leaving to enter  the psychology coaching space, she soon found herself surrounded by people who  didn’t want to be coached on happiness, but rather on how to make their own  coaching profitable. In the end, their primary stumbling block was the same  stumbling block that exists in all marketing, the fact that successfully promoting a  service and asking for sales are not the same thing, and people are often not  comfortable with that fact no matter how ethical or necessary their service may  be. With the goal of overturning the common wisdom that the art of selling is indistinguishable from the art of manipulation in mind, Annie founded the  Non-Sleazy Sales Academy.
