I read this article about the so called “greatest salesman of all time” and there were some major takeaways that I had with the article. Joseph Samuel Girard has the Guinness World Record for selling the most items; he sold 13,001 cars at a Chevy dealership between 1963-1978.<\/p>\n

The secret to his success was to stay in touch with all of his customers. In fact, Girard would send each one of his 13,000 customers a personalized card each month that would send positive messages to his clients and let them know that he was thinking about them. This idea is called “positive marketing” and made his clients not only feel valued, but they also felt special and cared for as well.<\/p>\n

By the end of his car selling career, Girard had so many clients that people had to set up appointments for sales often months and weeks in advance. The secret to his success was to have a simple, positive connection with his customers and have a genuine connection and interest in their lives outside of selling them cars.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n
