Until the age of 13 I lived in a restaurant.\u00a0 My dad is a chef, and we owned a fine dining restaurant.\u00a0 I know it sounds kind of odd to think that I lived above a restaurant for so long, and it is a little weird, but I learned so much about the restaurant industry and things that happen within a restaurant that I am happy I lived there.<\/p>\n

When I used to come home from elementary school usually 3 out of the 5 days there would be a food salesman in the restaurant.\u00a0 As I would walk through to go find my dad, I would always interact with the salesmen and sometimes sit in on my dad’s conversation with him.\u00a0 Looking back now, it didn’t seem like much of a sales “pitch” at all.\u00a0 All they would do is sit and have a nice conversation.\u00a0 I realize now that the salesmen had already done their “pitching” and their weekly conversations with my dad were very relaxed.\u00a0 They did not have to worry about if they were going to get the sale or anything like that, it was all about being present in the moment and being helpful to my dad.<\/p>\n

This kind of sales is a little different than normal sales selling I would say since once the seller gets the prospect once, they really don’t have to fight for them again.\u00a0 My dad had great relationships with his salesmen, and I give the credit to the salesmen for that relationship because they had to work hard to create it, keep it, and maintain it.<\/p>\n
