Sales Stories

All aboard. You send your submission and I show it to the world.

SALES STORIES CARNIVAL
This is the home for carnival of sales stories. I started the bloody thing because there wasn’t any. For some reason internet people (who are not real people) prefer making money in internet or blogging tips or proven sales formulas or what ever the flavor of the month is. There has to be a counter force for this madness and I hereby declare this carnival as the refuge for all old fashioned salespeople, for the likes who actually have to negotiate the deal before money arrives on autopilot.

SHOWCASING ARTICLES
I will do my very best (sometimes I drunk-write, but even then I aim high) to showcase and promote good articles. Bad ones I’ll also include, but prepared to be mocked with great passion. Every week’s best submission will have special treatment and I grant three wishes for the winner. As I’m not genie, most of those wishes will remain unfulfilled,  so just learn to live with the fact.

Carnivals can be scary they have clowns and balloons.

SUBMISSION GUIDELINE
True stories and good stories, I don’t care. Most of the sales training is anyway done under the cloak of “I used to have this old salesman in my team and he used to…” Also it doesn’t have to be a good story, you can be as boring as you bloody wish. Well, no point of wishing as most of us are boring. So as long as you submit something, I’ll read it and mostly likely include it. If your piece is rubbish, I’ll make a point of that.

LINKING POLICY
Policy, policy and policy - those three words are in good company in Obama’s handbook for new president, but here they mean squat minus one. I am happy enough to receive a link from your direction. If I don’t receive a link from your direction that’s ok too. But every time somebody links to me - I know they are not one of those selfish assholes who world wide interbred.

HISTORY OF THE CARNIVAL
After a century there will be historians and researchers flocking in to see these archives so please have appropriate appreciation towards these archives.

SALES STORIES BLOG CARNIVAL VOLUME 1
Traditional wisdom has it that first-born babies get the most affection - not so with this carnival. It comprised of two submissions of which the other one was complete vomit and the other otherwise bad fit. If you want to fulfill your curiosity you can click this link to get there.
