Publishing
My first paying job was selling newspaper subscriptions door-to-door at the age of 13 in my home town of Falkirk in Scotland. It was a great education on how to handle verbal abuse, euphemistically known as sales objections.
Clients include:
Hearst Community Newspapers
Albany Times Union
Houston Chronicle
The Talking Phone Book
IDG Publishing (PC World)
Internet-based marketing and the downward trend of print media has spurred the need for training in innovation and creativity, as well as new business development selling skills.
