Podcast Episode Description

The best podcasts give you access to top performers; salespeople, leaders & influencers, right? But, how about a top performer…from 100+ years ago?!?

This week I’ve got a special episode for you –  where I (fake) interview Norval Hawkins (1867-1936), known as the greatest salesperson to ever work for Ford, whom Henry Ford himself referred to as “my million dollar man”. Hawkin’s writing is profound, just thinking about things differently – but incredibly applicable to today.

So, in this interview, I play the role of podcast interviewer, and I play the role of Norval Hawkins, answering the questions using his own thoughts from ~ 100 years ago.

If you have feedback, let’s hear it! Reach out via www.toddcaponi.com, connect on LinkedIn, or follow on Instagram or Twitter @SalesHistorian, where I post daily with quotes from sales history’s past.
