Following on from yesterday’s post…

I was a little worried when Jeb Blount of $ales Gravy fame started syndicating my blog and asked if I world write a few articles…

Jeb’s got a great site, full of useful articles, posts, links and has some prominent experts on his site such as Wendy Weiss - author of Masters of Sales and Top Dog Sales Secrets and then there’s Ram Charan - coauthor of Execution and the author of What the CEO Wants You to Know and many other books. Then there’s Paul McCord – author of Creating a Million Dollar a Year Sales Income and SuperStar Selling. And there are many more great contributors on his site

…so I was quite pleased when I was asked to contribute some articles, great news, but there was a catch… he wanted a photo!

I had to explain my previous experience with submitting a photo (read yesterday’s post), promised to get a hair cut, trim the beard and find a professional photographer who can always find the best side in people… Jeb wrote back and said… “We can begin publishing without the photo so no worries. It’s funny – some of you Brits have sent photos of furniture in lieu of their mug shot”… great, so takes the pressure of, and below, just for Jeb, is a photo of my favourite chair!
