I am not unique in my past opinions of salespeople. For many years, I believed that salespeople were a painful part of being in business. Many would randomly drop by on occasion or on a weekly basis.

Now don’t get me wrong, there were some really good, informative salespeople in the industry that I respected and spoke with often, but others I ignore
