To our dear Barrett Sales Blog Readers

Some of you may not be aware that since February 2007 we have published over 160 articles on the sales profession covering topics on Sales Management and Leadership; Sales Skills and Process; Sales Strategy and Sales Planning; Sales Tips; Mindset and Attitudes; Qualities of Elite Sales Performers; CRM; Ethics, Culture and Values; Sales Capability and Coaching; Self Promotion and Call Reluctance; Sales Trends and Research to name just a few. We have made these articles freely available to anyone who visits our site or who subscribes to the Barrett Sales Blog.

Since the middle of 2009 we have been proactively distributing our articles via the Barrett Sales Blog to an ever growing subscriber base. We are getting really positive feedback that these articles are very helpful and we are finding that many sales managers are using the topics in their weekly sales meetings.

You may also not be aware that, in addition to our Barrett Sales Blog distribution, we are also published on a variety of online business mediums, including www.smartcompany.com.au, Australia’s leading website for SMEs, where we have established ourselves as their lead sales writer since February 2007.

These opportunities to publish our ever growing body of work have opened up a whole new vista for our business and our readers. With that in mind, we would like to give you the opportunity to receive our very first ever e-book as a thank you gift for your ongoing support and loyal readership.

This e-book represents the next phase of the publishing arm of our business. The e-book is titled ‘Lessons & Insights’ and is about some of the key lessons and insights we have gained as a result of being in our own business at Barrett. It incorporates a range of visual mediums as well as text and, if it were published in hard copy, it would resemble a coffee table book. We hope you find it an enjoyable and inspiring reading experience.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank you, our readers, for your loyalty and support of our work. We hope that is has assisted you in being able to make the most of your career when it comes to creating healthy, ethical and productive sales cultures and teams, and becoming master sales practitioners yourselves.

So in the spirit of ‘everybody lives by selling something’ and the ‘Principle of Exchange’ – the ever present need and desire for people to exchange something of value with each other and to find meaning in our actions, we would like to spread the word and give more people the chance to be master sales practitioners. With your support, we encourage you to forward this blog on to your peers and friends and offer them the opportunity to subscribe to the Barrett Sales Blog and assist them on their sales journeys.

We also welcome your feedback and any suggestions or ideas you would like to explore in further articles. To send us your comments, ideas and suggestions, use our feedback form.

Remember everybody lives by selling something.
