What does dedication to a job look like? And dedication to selling?<\/p>\n
Meet Reginald Huntley. Born in December of 1918 – yes, that means he is 97 years old – Reginald has worked for eight decades, six of which were spent as a salesman. What kind of advice does a sales hero like Reginald have to impart to those of us just getting our start? What is the secret to his success? “I mustn’t publicise that too much. I don’t want people to catch on to the idea,” says Reginald. He wakes up at 6 am everyday and works from 9 am until 5 pm: “I hate the thought of sitting at home because people deteriorate.\u201d He attributes his long life to exercise, sleep, healthy eating, and to his work. <\/p>\n
Despite his age, Reginald Huntley has no intention of retiring.
\nPeter Holmes, Reginald’s manager, said: “He is a great asset to the company and a role model for society, we’re very proud of his achievements… We can all take a valuable lesson from Reg’s passion for life and business.” Reginald must be a great salesman to hold a job at his age, in which he is in charge of 300 customers, and drives 250 miles a week to meet people. I can’t begin to imagine how prepared he is as a salesman for unexpected situations, or think of all of the wild experiences he must have had over his lifetime. He is an inspiration to commit to selling, but more than that he is proof that selling can be a career so enjoyable that you will start, and then never stop doing it. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
