The Story Behind Carried The Bag


 It wasn't until the end of the 20th Century that women were a part of the "Sales Professionals Club."  The image of a sales professional was of a man.  He carried his materials, his pen, paper, clipboard and he was always professionally dressed. 


He was creative, smart, quick on his feet, able to address objections, honest and always gave a solutions driven response. He truly was trying to earn the business.  He went door to door as an appliance sales person, printer, copier, manufacturing or whatever the product of choice was. 


He carried a bag but not just any bag.  In his bag were the intangibles that his customers couldn't see but could discern.  In his bag was perseverance, determination,  zeal, desire, hope, encouragement, fight and "don't quit"attitude.


Well, with twenty years of sales experience and proven results, I too, Yvette Alexander Slate, have carried the bag.  And now I want to coach you on the strategies that have been proven to achieve the results that helped me become skilled in our trade.
