Please don't misunderstand, I'm not suggesting that post secondary formal education isn't the way to go. It's extremely valuable for many. What I am suggesting is that it isn't the exclusive path to financial security and it's not something that everyone can obtain for a variety of reasons ranging from financial pressures to grades that don't quite measure up.

Becoming successful in a selling career need not be expensive or even all that time consuming. You don't need the post secondary education. In fact you don't even require a high school diploma, although it helps. You definitely don't need the burden of the of massive student loans and you need not spend years learning before you begin earning. It can easily be a 'learn while you earn' process.

By now you maybe asking a few questions such as,

1. What will it cost to learn how to sell?
2. How long will it take to learn?
3. Who should consider selling as a career?

Selling is a great career option for a vast cross section of individuals. Let me suggest just a few.

• someone who is looking for a career change
• someone looking to return to the workforce after a number of years
• someone leaving the military
• someone looking to boost his or her income potential
• someone seeking a first job
• someone seeking a career with a future
• someone who is being downsized
• someone taking an early retirement package but still wishing to work
• someone involved in a homebased business
• someone considering selling 'anything' online
• someone forced into
  What's After Starbucks?
  It would be fair to say that Starbucks has penetrated the cultural fabric of America quite extensively. Now, it is also attempting to do the same with the rest of the world. It has become a place to get together with friends, an extended office, a pick-up joint, and many other things - different things to different people.Starbucks is a consumer concept that was pretty much unimaginable until it was implemented, scaled, funded, a

  2. How long will it take to learn?
  3. Who should consider selling as a career?
  Let me try to answer those questions for you. If you want to be successful, you will want solid, well rounded training before you begin on your career path. Please don't set yourself up for failure by having less than sufficient skills when you begin. By well rounded, I mean training that not only provides you with techniques, tips and strategies on the actual selling process but most importantly, the emotional tools you will need. Tools to understand and handle what is taking place in the mind of your customers and your own mind throughout the selling experience. Many training programs completely ignore this critical mental aspect of selling. Excellent training can range from a couple hundred dollars to several thousand. Live seminars vary in price as well. You can get started quite modestly and keep layering on your knowledge as you go. If you can devote a couple of hours every two or three day, you can have the skills needed in a couple of months. If you can go at it bootcamp style, in a week or two you can get be prepared to get started. Then it's a case of ongoing practice and upgrading. A word of caution for you, you can never allow your brain to be so full that you can't learn something new.

    Vending Routes - How To Fail
    When I was young, I invested $2500 with a fast-talking salesman who convinced me I could have a great income in just weeks. He told me he had racks of earrings in hair salons, gift shops, etc. He said he had 110 just in the Grand Rapids area, and they averaged 13 pairs sold per week. He just ran the route once a week to collect his money.I did the math, as he knew I would. 110 racks times 13 pairs at $5 per pair was $7150 weekly
