If there’s one guy that has taught me the way of the door-to-door world, it’s definitely Todd Altom. It wasn’t something I would love to go back doing, but it definitely brought great learning experiences that ushered the way to many great opportunities in my life.
Based in the United States, Todd currently works for Gap Inc. where he helps run the kid’s business on the Old Navy brand in Canada.
Today, Todd shares with us how sales is paramount in our day-to day life, how we actually do sell in so many areas in our life, and some strategies you can take with you to help you become a better seller whether you’re selling a product or service or you’re selling yourself to get the salary that you want or win a date with your wife.
