What They Don't Teach You in Sales School


Book Description

Combining the experience from a 30 year successful career in technology sales, in conjunction with in depth interviews from other career sales executives, sales management, as well as C level executive decision makers, the author offers sound advice for individuals interested in pursuing a career in professional sales.. The primary objective of the book is to accelerate the learning curve for professional sales execs. The secondary objective is to make it an enjoyable read by relating real sales stories that underscore a sales principle. Readers typically remember a principle if it is told via a story. The story can then be applied to your personal sales environment. Additionally, these stories relate to higher level principles that the author refers to as UNIVERSAL SALES TRUTHS. These are truths that stand the test of time. Regardless of the timeframe, environment, product or service, if you adhere to these UNIVERSAL SALES TRUTHS, everything else will take care of itself. The author deals with topics that are rarely covered in sales related books; such as developing your annual business plan, the art of listening, career changes, handling a lost sale, the financial sale, and the business relationship, to name a few. This is NOT a book of sales tactics and closing strategies. It is written for individuals interested in taking their career as a professional sales exec to the highest level.

101 Things I Learned in Architecture School


Book Description

Concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation, from the basics of “How to Draw a Line” to the complexities of color theory. This is a book that students of architecture will want to keep in the studio and in their backpacks. It is also a book they may want to keep out of view of their professors, for it expresses in clear and simple language things that tend to be murky and abstruse in the classroom. These 101 concise lessons in design, drawing, the creative process, and presentation—from the basics of "How to Draw a Line" to the complexities of color theory—provide a much-needed primer in architectural literacy, making concrete what too often is left nebulous or open-ended in the architecture curriculum. Each lesson utilizes a two-page format, with a brief explanation and an illustration that can range from diagrammatic to whimsical. The lesson on "How to Draw a Line" is illustrated by examples of good and bad lines; a lesson on the dangers of awkward floor level changes shows the television actor Dick Van Dyke in the midst of a pratfall; a discussion of the proportional differences between traditional and modern buildings features a drawing of a building split neatly in half between the two. Written by an architect and instructor who remembers well the fog of his own student days, 101 Things I Learned in Architecture School provides valuable guideposts for navigating the design studio and other classes in the architecture curriculum. Architecture graduates—from young designers to experienced practitioners—will turn to the book as well, for inspiration and a guide back to basics when solving a complex design problem.
