2 Things Race Car Driving Has in Common with Selling
Karl said that for him, the single biggest commonality between racing and selling is the ability to be in control of his emotions, a strength which, in selling, not too many salespeople have mastered.

Recruiters Fear Sales Assessments
I'll get a lot of flack over this article.

Unfortunately these are trying times for many domestic automobile dealers for a number of reasons. The depth of the problems has much to do with the brand, the market and the dealers' personal situation. For many, losses or a lack of profits is starting to take its toll not just on the bottom line but on the operators and their families, their relationship with the factory and their employees.

Brokers, Dealers, Private Lenders, and Venture Capital
A broker is defined as anyone who makes securities transactions for others. (The exception to this is a bank.) A dealer is defined as someone who buys and sells securities for their own account, through a broker or otherwise. Most entrepreneurs are looking for start-up capital and for someone else to raise capital for them on a straight commission, with no up-front fees. Only registered broker dealers, and Bona Fide employees, can legally solicit/sell securities for a company on straight commission, with no up-front fees. They always charge an up-front retainer, sometimes called due-diligence fees, before commencing. This fluctuates depending on the complexity of the transactions. Most brokers/dealers avoid startup and early stage companies. A Bona Fide employee cannot be paid commission from the sale of securities.

It's a cooperative endeavor that supports channel partner marketing campaigns to generate demand and a greater return on investment than what each company could have achieved on its own, yes? So why, then, did I hear this from one of our heavy equipment manufacturing customers - "We had MDF programs for years for co-op advertising, direct mail and other initiatives.
