My flight is delayed this morning so while I was sitting here at the Vancouver International Airport I thought I would make a quick entry to keep you updated with what We’ve been up to.
It has been a couple weeks since my last sales blog or sales podcast entry at ClosingBigger.net. Later this week we will have some great new sales podcasts available for you. I’m headed down to Sao Paulo, Brazil to speak at the World Summit for Youth Entrepreneurs. There will be 1200 delegates from 70 countries attending. You can read more about the summit at http://wsye.wtuglobal.org . I will be speaking on Closing Bigger Deals from a Global Perspective. If all of the technical aspects come together as they should I will be posting the entire keynote seminar here by the end of the week in MP3 / Podcast format.
I will also be posting a five part sales podcast which was originally a radio interview on 650 CISL with Minto Roy and Alanna Fero from Careers Today.
Think Big and Close Bigger!
