My Best Blogs
People frequently ask me about old blog posts I’ve written over the years. And sometimes I even find myself digging for an oldie-but-goodie that I think would be great for driving a point home to a sales team I’m working with. But digging these things out all the time is a waste of time, so I’ve decided to get organized. Below are some of my favorite and most frequently-requested blog posts, organized loosely by topic category. Enjoy!

Hello Tom:
Tried to e- you; bounced. I’d like to share with you two of my affiliations in hopes that you may find them advantagious. First, I sit on the advisory board for Thr H.H. Gregg Center for Professional Selling / Miller College / Ball State. I’d enjoy introducing you to Drs. Avila and Scott Inks. Finally, I remain the first Rainmaker and currently have the Zionsville franchise. Do you know Tony Scelzo? I’d love to “catch up” and see if I can make an introduction.
Respectfully,
David
