An “AMA” (Ask Me Anything) Circa 1906
Audio Podcast
With Ask Me Anything’s (AMAs) being all the rage today, there was a similar outlet for salespeople…in 1906! Via Salesmanship Magazine, every month, salespeople from around the country were encouraged to send in their questions. Experts fielded those questions and provided their answers.
In today’s episode, we explore four “queries” from that year.
1) A question about a sales pursuit and the associated expenses
2) A question about prospecting – getting in, and what to say
3) A job search question for an individual struggling to find a sales job in a new city
4) A precarious situation where the answer is…you guessed it…TRANSPARENCY!
