Welcome to First Time Visitors
The red carpet is down and I am pleased to invite you into my blog. For some of you, it may be the first time you have even visited a blog. Blog stands for WEB LOG. Basically this is a journal of ideas and recommendations to help you become more successful at Selling Promotional Products.
I try to post an article every weekday, though I miss from time-to-time when I'm busily trying to insure speedy delivery of one of your projects. We will be sending out one of these blasts from BlastMaster every Friday as a reminder to visit the blog, but you might want to bookmark this site right now so that it will be easy to find all the time.
THE IDEA LIBRARY
There are about 60 articles in the archives. When you have an extra few minutes, you might want to browse those. My Mom feels that many of those articles are very useful (Please be prepared for my version of a sense of humor. My Mom never reads this blog, but she does read my personal blog.) Over the next few weeks, I am going to concentrate on recommending other excellent resources to help you sell. Some of these will be paying me for their endorsement. I will tell you when that is the case. However, I thoroughly research anyone who I endorse. They must pass muster with me, or it doesn't matter how much they pay, I won't pitch them.
RECOMMENDED RESOURCES
So you might note that I have recommended 101 Ways To Get Your Foot in the Door. It is a very useful little book. I don't get paid to say that.
On the other hand, the only comprehensive training program for distributor sales people that I can recommend is Top Secret. I am being paid a small commission if you click through the above link or any link on this site and purchase their system. Or if you call them at 800-494-2721 and say that you called because of Randy's blog, I will be getting a little check. I will give a more thorough review of Top Secrets in a coming post. Successful folks in any career are those who continuously educate themselves.
Sales professionals are particularly inclined to forget one or more of the important elements of their job. Not because there are so many of them, but because each is difficult in its own way.
For over 30 years I have been writing articles and books on sales and marketing. I hope this free resource will give you the perfect stimulation at exactly the right time to bring in a few extra dollars each week.

Your copy is too wordy! Some of your information is very usefull, but I don't want to spend time reading your deathless prose, time that I could use to prepare for a client presentation, prospecting new clients, or researching products. I'm thinking "How does he have time to write all that stuff if I don't even really have time to read it!"
However, I like your sense of humor and I appreciate your honesty. I like people who are honest! But you should get yourself an editor.
Note: I am a woman. This is the first time I have ever read a blog. I am a small-time promotional products distributor, and a free-lance writer.

Hey Liz,
Thanks for the honesty. I don't have time to do this. : ) However, I really don't have time to edit it. I generally put it up almost in 1st draft form. But, that is kind of the nature of blogs.
Hope you get a tidbit or two of useful stuff now and again.
