I have SOMETHING to say!


Welcome to “I have SOMETHING to say,” where subject matter experts are unafraid and unapologetic about sharing their perspectives regarding issues that impact our lives. They speak up because they give a shit. If you’re tired of canned answers and want to FINALLY hear real people cut through the B.S. and talk about real issues, this podcast is for you.

SALES 101 is a key skill set that is not taught formally in academic settings, and it’s such a critical aspect of successfully navigating your career path or owning your own business. In this episode of I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY, our host Samí Haiman-Marrero talks to old friend and colleague from her days at the New York Post, Peter Smith (aka Smitty), who is currently the Sr. Sales Director for S4M – a global digital marketing firm specializing in mobile advertising campaigns. As they reminisce on their days working together in the fast-paced grueling grind of selling ad space in a major newspaper back in 2004, Smitty shares the basics of good salesmanship, offers helpful tips in his characteristic upfront, practical and down-to-earth approach, and demonstrates why Samí thinks he’s the best at what he does.
