More From the Guest


Paul is a student of sales, and the mission of his training company is to help salespeople compete more profitably by selling on value, not price. Paul’s first sales job was in high school selling car washes. He sold jewelry and painting services in college. Paul sold propane for Ferrell Gas—the exact same product as all of the other competitors. He also sold tools and fasteners for Hilti in the construction and petrochemical industry. Finally, Paul sold medical equipment before getting into the training and speaking business. He’s experienced and overcome many of the same difficulties you may be experiencing now.
