The Unsolved Mystery In Sales

I have an interesting situation that has perplexed me for quite some time so I thought I would bring it to you my great readers and get YOUR take. Here is the situation. I have literally run into this situation hundred's of times over the years. I interview all of these out of work alleged "Great Sales People", and what amazes me is that some of them I sincerely believe I could help become peak performers and acquire complete financial independence.

The "Unsolved Mystery" is that I cannot figure out for the life of me WHY they all wait to get a new job until they are broke or are so far behind the eight ball that they don't give themselves enough time to acclimate themselves to their new position, much less start generating income! I have seen several people just in the last 2 months that have thrown away GREAT opportunities for just this reason.

Perplexed, I ask myself if these people are just lazy and took too much time off after their last employment? Were they no good at their last place of employment so they always lived hand to mouth? Or, are they just plain arrogant and fool themselves into believing that they are so good they can learn anything and make as much as they want anytime? Therein lies the "Unsolved Mystery". Whatever the answer, and I hope my readers can give me some insight, IT'S NOT WORKING! Please take note, if you are making a career change or are terminated from your current position, look for work IMMEDIATELY! "The Specialist" guarantees you there will be a learning curve before income starts being generated.

It truly saddens me the number of people I have crossed paths with that have missed tremendous opportunities because of this "Unsolved Mystery".

Online Sales and Marketing vs Traditional - Hi Evan, I am noticing that many of the posts in the Sales/Marketing section deal with online marketing, SEM and and SEO and Affiliates. I was wondering if it might be a good idea to separate that section into two; 1) Online Sales and Marketing; 2) Traditional Sales and Marketing

taxes in canada - Well in Canada we only have a few provinces and the Sales tax is slightly different. Here in Ontario the Goods & Services tax has reduced to 5% from 7% in the last year due to the promises made by the government in place.
Re: Watch What you Read - I agree. i believe more video's should be like Jeffery Gitomers video's under his Sales rant. They are typically not more than 3 minutes. His model seems to be; 1. Main Message (or Point) 2. Example 3. Next steps to put it into Action take away the extra "blabber" and you've got viewers that will come back.
