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.
