Every year I travel about 40,000 miles between the NH beach, the Tufts campus in Medford, the Derby Management office in Boston and the Vermont house alongside the Winhall River up the road a piece from Brattleboro.
Because of the miles and the typical wicked tough New England weather, I totally love Subarus. Cheryl, my #1 Subaru salesperson, and I will soon be celebrating our 10th car together as soon as the pre-ordered 2020 four-cylinder turbo is delivered in a couple of weeks.

First, no apologies about the term, "Sales Warriors" since some may not feel that it is not politically correct.
In fact, I did learn long ago that this wonderful profession of Sales is not about "doing battle". It's not about negotiation or manipulation or trying to outwit the person on the other side of the table. It's no longer about "good-old-boy" relationships
The true excitement about Sales today is the realization finally that the real job of all of us as sales warriors is not to do battle, but to deliver to our customers one simple word: "VALUE". And, the other equally important realization that if I cannot provide true and long-lasting VALUE to those new prospects and existing customers, then I'm going to ultimately totally fail in my job.
