#72“…and you won’t like their secret” And y’all just keep scrolling through the ads for that secret that’ll explain to you what to be angry about. Some shit will never stop working.
I’ll forgive the clickbait, which could have come full circle to explain “you keep people interested”
But the whole article was so terrible that I forgive nothing and want my time back. Who upvotes this trash?

#73That's honestly one of the best pieces of writing I've read in my life. Can't recommend it enough. Send it to all your friends. Everyone should read it.
Slate is in a rough way huh? Will your next article talk about how great st internet promotion you are?

#74The real secret to having a successful sales career is to work at a company that sells a market leading product. This trumps 99% of anything you can do as an individual. I have seen complete noobs have good sales careers at AWS
That's the difference between being a great salesman and having great sales. Any idiot can sell something that's in demand. It takes a genius to sell something that nobody wants. It's better to be the idiot.

So... the thing that made him America's top telemarketer was... illegally omitting the disclosures... which everyone was doing... but also, it made him uniquely successful because many of his colleagues didn't do it? I'm getting the strangest feeling that maybe this guy isn't done peddling bullshit?
sounds like hes setting the stage for a movie script - "wolf of wall street 2"

The better the marketing, the easier the sales.

This is why sales is such a difficult medium to respect even if it's clearly a craft. There's a dance but no music.

A great film.

#79I came in hoping for inspiration, got punched in the face by reality instead.
It's a good read, just know what you are in for.
