I feel that there are people who work in sales because they have a passion for the field. That is a small percentage of the field. The vast middle ground is people who see sales as a job with freedom and autonomy, and do jsut enough to keep the jo...

My apologies to all SAILORS. In an effort to emphasize my point, I compared drunken sailors to members of congress. I did not intend to insult any sailors, drunken or otherwise. ns
David,
With all due respect, the facts of history are these.
When Reagan cut taxes, tax revenues went up.
When G.W Bush cut taxes, tax revenues went up.
The government actually collects more money when rates are lower. Everyone does better, pays ...
I don’t understand. How can we continue to cut taxes? How can the Republican answer to everything be to cut taxes? They seem to believe, cut taxes, the economy rises and you get more tax revenues, it sounds good and so simple, but does it really w...

To Whom It May Concern:
I have had the pleasure of managing David Colomb for about three months in 2007. Within those three months I watched David progress into one of our top sales representatives within the region. I was completely blown away at how well David managed his territory, managed his time and how well prepared he was for each day. David went over and beyond my expectations.
David was reaching his sales goals when I started managing him and as time went on I challenged him with new goals that he consistently met. David’s persistence with his new business paid off and led him to the #1 spot in our region for new accounts (approx. 35 within 6 months). He has the ability to overcome any objection and maintained great communication with me when he needed help.
Needless to say, David has again, been a very successful sales representative. He has the passion, the drive, and the motivation to become a top sales representative for any industry he is in. I highly recommend David for future opportunities as he is truly a hard working individual with the necessary drive to succeed at any position placed before him.
If you would like additional information about David, you can telephone me at (530)591-7346
Sincerely,

IT's Time To Move Forward
I was reading Joel Stein’s Time Magazine essay on the housing crisis. I listened and watched CNBC’s Rick Santelli rant and my first instinct is to agree with these folks. Yeah, I think its right that we shouldn’t bail out people who bought houses that they could no way afford, or bought houses as an investment, or were too unaware to read the fine print on the contract and know what was going to happen. Yes, if I have a good loan, and I’m not selling during this downturn, I’m probably not going… Continue

It's Time We Think About The Future
I don’t understand. How can we continue to cut taxes? How can the Republican answer to everything be to cut taxes? They seem to believe, cut taxes, the economy rises and you get more tax revenues, it sounds good and so simple, but does it really work?
The last economic slowdown that hit Japan led the Japanese government to drop their tax rate to an effective rate of zero on taxes. That move just seemed to lead to the Japanese having less tax revenue. It didn’t help to solve the problems.

It's Time for a New Career
Yesterday I became part of the unemployment statistics. At 8 A.M. I got the phone call. My sales territory had been dissolved, and my services were no longer needed. Thanks for your hard work, the check is in the mail, see you.
Well. I’ve never been unemployed before, so this was quite a shock to the system, 58 years old. And out of work, what to do? I’m guessing this is something that many others have faced, and others out there will face as the economy continues to readjust. I’m no expert; I… Continue

It's Time For Obama To Step Up
Yes, the Democrats won the election, but they don’t need to try to put all of the things that they’ve wanted for the last eight years in to one bill. Let’s face it, the economy in this Country is too important to be held hostage while the Democrats try to remake the face of government. We all realize that the government needs to spend money to get the economy off its back. There are a group of economists who believe that it needs to be government spending, and there is another group who believes… Continue
